The best restaurantsof irish in Mayo

24/04/2026: Franco’s Fullhouse makes me want to set traps for wild boar. I want to hunt big game in a foreign country without a hunting license. I need it

24/04/2026: A great waiter really put on a show for me made the pizza right under my nose really made me feel at home he had really nice hair and some stunning eyes. He was about 5’6 or around that with fairly big deltoids and a decent size forehead. He knew loads of Irish was telling me how he has a savage Irish teacher and has great passion for Irish he thought me the phrase “pog mo hon” really nice lad will definitely be coming back☘️🎉🥳

20/05/2026: Totally lived up to the hype, a really special restaurant. Fantastic service from our Hungarian waitress, everything cooked perfectly and full of fresh flavour. An essential stop in Westport.

02/05/2026: Excellent restaurant, delicious dishes made with quality ingredients, everything is homemade, in a lovely setting, friendly service, very good craft beer. Highly recommended!

04/05/2026: Had a delicious meal and a very cozy cafe.

30/04/2026: We had a lovely meal at The Helm Restaurant. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly service, and super fresh, perfectly cooked monkfish and black sole. A great spot for a casual, enjoyable dining experience.

06/06/2026: Fab spot. Contemporary vibe, amazing food, and great help with a guest with food allergies. Highly recommend.

01/06/2026: Just WOW! This was a beautifully surprising experience start to finish. I was fortunate to get in for a booking on the same day, though I would definitely recommend prebooking. It is a preset menu, yet I would say the most incredible quality and presentation you could ever hope to get for the price. (This offering was 2 courses for €55, 3 courses for €62). Aoife was delightful through the entirety of the service, beginning with her spot-on recommendations and tastings of wine to select my bottle. The chef's snack started off with an impressive bang- sustainable use of "scraps" made into a delicious mouse, cradled within a parm crisp and served on a bed of smoked pine. Absolutely stunning! I'll honestly be thinking about this bite for a long while. It was followed by one of the most tasty bread courses I've ever had--honey rosemary bread (I've got to figure out how to recreate at home) with salted Irish butter, olive oil and an elderberry balsamic vinegar. I could've honestly only eaten that and still been happy! Next was a cheese souffle with leek fondue which was decadent and flavorful. My main course was a 12 hour cooked featherblade of Irish beef that didn't even require a knife. The unexpected toppings of black garlic, maple bacon and BBQ crisps were creative and deliciously unique. The sides were of generous portions- a potato mash with greens, fresh mixed veg and braised carrots and an impressive stacked and fried potato. The palate cleanser of a raspberry and lemon lolli-popcicle was a delightfully refreshing treat to finish it off. I took my dessert to-go of a dense, dark chocolate cake with raspberry. Gorgeous meal, I honestly had so much to take away after (including half the bottle of wine I didn't finish). Aoife was sweet enough as well to send me with recommendations for my visit and I expect her suggestions will be spot on. Overall, I consider this a tremendous value for the quality, experience and service and I would be thrilled to return! Thank you!

25/05/2026: Absolutely delicious scones with very kind ladies serving us. We can’t wait to come back.

10/05/2026: I really enjoyed my stay at Valley House Hostel. The place has so much charm and the breakfast was fantastic—definitely a highlight! I stayed in a 10-bed dorm, and everyone was very respectful. Even when a group returned from a night out in the early hours, they were quiet and it didn't disturb my sleep at all. Lovely stay. Highly recommended!

21/04/2026: Very positive experience of a hostel. Stayed in a female only dorm , slept well. Nice pub at back of house , lovely dining and lounge room. Hope to be back.

28/05/2026: When you need a coffee or some sustainance after negotiating the picturesque meandering narrow roadways around the Doolough Valley, drop off at Louisburgh 74 for a taste of the local fare. Great to see young Irish people employed locally. A family run buisness ably supervised by a very elegant granny who saw to everyone's needs while offering a very welcoming atmosphere.

19/05/2026: We had lunch here today - super fresh and so delicious! Eat here - you won’t regret it!

25/02/2026: What a pub ! The keg under the bar, the Stout is cream, Mick himself is a gentleman, the epitome of hospitality, brings out snacks for the customers, makes welcome and warm conversation. A joy to visit, I shall return !

13/04/2026: Top service and the food was incredible.

29/03/2026: Food was lovely especially the Lamb shank. Service was terrible, there was a basket with bread taken from my table and I wasn't even fishished with it, it was just swiped by a younger member of staff. There was a younger woman with glasses she was very helpful and professional and another older woman whom was doing the bar . It was those two women whom were carrying the staff.

10/05/2026: Lovely place for a nice meal as usual.

09/05/2026: Extremely poor service by unprofessional front of house staff

10/06/2026: Lovely food, great service, friendly staff in the heart of Ballina town

07/06/2026: We ordered today the prawn salad and one of the daily’s specials. It was delicious. The service was great (Raphael the head of the waitress recommended us those two dishes). Really great, obliging and friendly service! We can definitely recommend it!! The surrounding was nice and not too loud. Great work gluten-free options (at least 70% of the menu) as well.

07/06/2026: Absolutely beautiful meal, everything was perfectly done and presented very well. The service was impeccable. It was lovely to see such a well-coordinated team, all committed to delivering excellent hospitality. Highly recommend!
