The best restaurantsof irish in Mayo

04/09/2026: Pizza is amazing and delicious, even compared to Italian standard. They don’t take reservations but will call you when a table is ready. For a pizza a bit pricey - would recommend anyhow.

03/09/2026: We were going elsewhere but a manager at the hotel suggested this place. So glad they did. Chilling decor, righteous music, super food, excellent staff. A definite any time we're back this way. John and Mary Leopardstown

We were standing in front of it and said lets see if they have a table..and by amazing chance the fitted us in. Relaxed atmosphere with super staff and a must go to place if you are within 50km it will be worth the drive in fact its worth a one night stay for the experience. Chapeau chef ! Simple ingredients cooked with passion. Thank you and look forward to our revisit Make sure you book ahead.

15/09/2026: Delighted to see lots of gluten free/Coeliac Friendly menu options.

09/09/2026: Really exceptional food and service. If you visit Ballina do stop and taste their fare.

02/09/2026: Wonderful little place in Ballycastle. The vegan rolls and egg muffins were tasty. The fruit scone was lovely as was the Chocolate ganache tart( enhanced with the addition of their homemade jam! ) Fantastic hosts, both Mary and Geraldine.

30/08/2026: A wide range of lovely baked goods. We bought potato cakes, egg muffins, scones, brown bread, jam and chutney. All were delicious. Mary and her daughter were friendly and helpful. Not to be missed if you're in the Ballycastle area.

20/08/2026: Didn’t have a booking, but quickly found a table for 3 of us. Service was exceptional, and all food was fabulous. So good we booked for the following evening. I

17/08/2026: For over 20 years Bar One has produced great food, great menus, great customer service and atmosphere. Consistently excellent. If you have never tried, don’t think twice just book!👏🏻👏🏻

31/08/2026: Delightful place. Staff very friendly. Foor delicious.

21/08/2026: Top service and the food was incredible.

18/08/2026: It was closed at the time we were there, but we walked the grounds, very picturesque, will visit again

14/08/2026: The woods are super peaceful. Trails are marked and easy to follow.

22/07/2026: Nice place, they have bar food available in the evenings and "continental" breakfast in the mornings.

03/07/2026: Local pub for the locals. It does not get more authentic than this. Very cozy atmosphere and great food! Exceptionally friendly and helpful service. Driving there can be a little tricky though - the entrance is somewhat hidden and you have to drive a very narrow and long path to reach the building.

03/09/2026: Let's talk about the turkey and ham lunch. I never know turkey can taste so juicy and soft. The turkey and ham are sliced thick, so we get a good bite in every mouth! Gravy is rich. I would say the whole dish has a rustic and traditional taste. Best of all we got 3 scoops of mash potatoes! We got croquettes instead of the usual roast potatoes. Honestly, blissful after a full meal here. Definitely living up to its name as a family restaurant. We also had the tuna melt, felt like they put a whole can of tuna for the sandwich. Bit more than 16euros for the turkey and ham, definitely bang for the buck.

01/09/2026: Absolutely loved The Junction. The apple pie with warm custard and ice cream was proper comfort food — homemade, generous and absolutely delicious. Exactly the kind of dessert you hope for when you order apple pie. Great food, warm and fast service and a lovely atmosphere. One of those places that just does the simple things really, really well. Five stars across the board and well deserved!

20/09/2026: Lovely spacious cafe with good coffee and nice sandwiches. If you're looking for a book they also have a good selection of second hand books where you can take one donate to their charity. Toilets were also very clean. Would recommend stopping for a coffee or bite to eat.

14/09/2026: A lovely place and very good food

04/09/2026: Got a table for two on spec. Had a wonderful meal with a lovely Italian Primitivo. Staff were great. Should be on the Michelin recommended list

23/08/2026: Really Good. Food was Very Good. Staff tried hard. Only slight complaint is prob staff too attentive, over to us, too often, but thats nit picking. Overall excellent experience, food excellent.

16/09/2026: Delicious food, highly recommended! However, it's very popular, so you might have to wait for a table.

06/09/2026: Went on a work end of summer day out, had the West booked for a party of 12. Seats were reserved for us, staff were attentive & friendly. The food was fantastic, everyone’s dish was lovely and everyone was delighted with their choices which is rare in a group of 12. The Lamb Shank was superb, as was the chowder, steak, beef, lasagne, bacon & cabbage, curry. Such a choice. The desserts were equally as good. Thank you for making us feel so welcome and filling our bellies. We will be back 👏👏

14/09/2026: Such a shame. Some good some bad. Popped in on way back to airport. Lovely greeting and got a group of us a table of 4. Great service. Nice starters, but mash potatoes I’ve never experienced before like eating dry powdered smash. Lacking in gravy. And veg straight out of a people home. Lovely drinks. And nice atmosphere let down by kitchen.

19/08/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent experience at Val's Bar & Bistro! Without a doubt, a restaurant worth visiting in Ballyhaunis. Very tasty food, well-prepared and with generous portions. Everything served with good presentation and that welcoming atmosphere typical of a good Irish pub. The service was excellent: friendly, attentive and professional staff, always available to help. The concern for providing a good experience to visitors is noticeable. The atmosphere is very pleasant and relaxed, perfect for a family meal or a meal with friends. It was a very positive experience and, without a doubt, a restaurant I recommend and will return to. 👌🇮🇪 5 stars without hesitation! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
