The best restaurantsof irish in Mayo

07/01/2026: Had lunch yesterday food was lovely couldnt fault. Service VERY slow staff seemed distracted wasnt overly busy had to request repeatedly for water. Bathrooms used to be kept lovely and clean with a extra touch, now they have a strong smell of urine. Seems like it has become ran down since we last visited. Disappointing

15/11/2025: Incredible lunch value & experience !

27/10/2025: 11/6/25: Great cafe and very welcoming and friendly staff too and where dogs are allowed at the rear under a sheltered roofed area; there are a few other large tables in the yard but these are not protected from the weather.

16/10/2025: Great breakfast today and well priced. Will be back

18/01/2026: This pub is very well located, in a lovely corner of Westport. The team is very welcoming and effective, which makes the waiting time very little! The food is good, portions are very generous and tasty. It is a very small, traditional, and well themed pub. I like the overall energy. I recommend.

08/01/2026: Quick service, great place, good food the roast beef I ate here was the best I've ever eaten. I'd recommend this place to anyone visiting Westport Ireland.

11/02/2026: Very friendly staff helpful, food good

11/02/2026: In the centre of Ballina town. Service is quick. Can be busy at times.

07/11/2025: Very good food although extremely loud for a place that I figured would be a quiet sit down restaurant

07/11/2025: Very impressed with service, friendliness and food even as an awkward sole diner.

04/01/2026: A fabulous meal in a relaxed atmosphere. A mixture of expected classics and interesting twists, done well.

15/10/2025: Nice place, great food. Good service. Really enjoyed the starter, the main course and the desert. . I don't recommend the coffee. The coffee was weak and cold.

30/12/2025: A very pleasant and spacious place with a beautiful view. The food was very good. It's a shame dogs aren't allowed. We hope this will change, as it's a good thing!

07/12/2025: Very good, the atmosphere is wonderful. I recommend visiting.

14/12/2025: Went for afternoon tea, served by the lovely Rachel from Portugal, her knowledge of the Castle was superb, she showed me around some of the many function rooms, had wine by the fire in one of the many bars.. if you love oldie worldie steeped in history and a Castle that feels like your on a very old ship you'll be in the right place. Will return and try Jack Fenn bistro attached to the Castle.

09/12/2025: Lovely area.. Food was good and staff were amazing.

11/11/2025: I've had breakfast here about 5 or 6 times in the last 8 weeks, the breakfast is good except on every occasion they've used stale bread for the toast.

05/11/2025: The food is delicious, roast pork very tender! Lots of choices of the dessert! And mainly the staffs are nice and friendly!

31/01/2026: This is were all the cool kids go... of course I noticed it was the kids of the 90s. The best generation, But still cool nonetheless. A great bar with some great cool hide away tables. This allows for decent chats and socialising, not provided by Bridge St, you have to bring your own. Normally Irish bars have live bands, no shade as the kids say. But sometimes you want a bar with a great selection of drinks and to be able to speak to the people on your table. This is the place. Staff are friendly and intuitive, not leaving you thirsty. Also there is a great outdoor area which allows for eating. There is even a food truck that parks right up to the outside tables. So there isn't much of a walk for a take away pint and meal. Also if you prefer other takeaway places, they all say that you can eat their food there too. The outside place is sheltered, but I wouldn't like to test it during a downpour.

06/12/2025: Great pub, friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere.

12/10/2025: Had breakfast here yesterday. Really gorgeous. Service very quick even though it was busy. 3 of us left there full and very happy. Looking forward to a return visit

18/09/2025: What a gem of a place, we’d been to the Deli the day before and bought some granola and flour, and had a take out coffee, so we were really looking forward to a late breakfast at Café Rua. First impressions were a fantastic welcome and real friendly people, nothing sham or pretend here. What a great menu, absolutely something for all tastes and dietary requirements. The chorizo, spinach and sautéed potatoes, topped with 2 perfectly poached eggs and accompanied with chilli relish was excellent. Real fresh orange juice was delightful, and the coffee? Epic! What a fabulous way to spend time being looked after in one of the best cafés I’ve visited.

20/11/2025: Absolutely wonderful place ❤ food was to die for haven't enjoyed a meal like that in ages I had the steak sandwich and it was cooked beautifully 😋 himself had the full breakfast and said it was the nicest he's had in a cafe. Can't wait to eat here again! Next time I'm in Claremorris this will be the first place we stop. 5 star all the way

13/10/2025: I used Araby Cofffee House to cater a private party for 70 people and it was such a success! Ciara was very easy to work with and made it simple. She was realistic when it came to quantities and the cost was very reasonable. I wanted only vegetarian food and it was delicious - people even asked for the recipies! Ciara came at the appointed time with all that was needed (plates etc included) and discreetly set everything up and collected it the next day. I would really recommend and can't wait to eat in the cafe soon!

24/10/2025: Nice, quite little pub. Grabbed some scampi on a Wednesday afternoon, man running the place does a good job.

23/08/2025: A charming pub with a lovely musical atmosphere in the village of Killala. We enjoyed a pint of Guinness, accompanied by breaded scampi and a stew floating in carrots. The dishes are simple and not particularly exciting, but there's nothing better in the area, so we considered ourselves lucky to find a table, considering it was a late July evening.

27/07/2025: Lovely restaurant, travelled with friends for a funeral. Food was very fresh and the employees were very attentive in this very busy cafe. Loved the sourdough pesto, chicken and brie melt.
