The best restaurants 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☘️🎉🥳

11/04/2026: Returned to An Port Mór and it was even better than the first time! The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared—while the service was attentive and friendly throughout. Highly recommend

02/04/2026: Best place west of the Shannon.

09/05/2026: Absolutely fabulous food, even better then meals I had in Rome. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Good size portions too. I had the ravioli and it was simply divine, my husband had the carbonara and garlic bread and he said it was lovely. We will definitely go back when in castlebar, I just wished I had room for dessert.

12/04/2026: Honestly one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Very lovely and attentive staff, catering to our every need and request. Food was delicious and atmosphere was great!

11/04/2026: Our small wedding at The Tavern was nothing short of perfection. I’d recommend this venue to anyone seeking an elevated tavern experience in an incredible, scenic location in the west of Ireland. Our guests still rave to us about the food! The lamb, the sea bass, the stuffed chicken, the pistachio cheesecake, and everything that graced our table was flawless. Several guests told us it was the best wedding meal they had ever had! I recommend requesting the olive tapenade. The manager was an absolute dream to work with and essentially worked as our wedding coordinator for the day. She went above and beyond in every way, from decorating the room (we hadn’t planned on adding anything!) to coordinating our band. I didn’t doubt for a moment that she’d take care of everything. We opted to have our meal in the upstairs dining room (perfect for a party of 40–50 people) and our band in the pub downstairs after dinner. This was perfect for us, as it allowed for a seamless transition from dinner to music and dancing. Our guests were able to relax at the bar or a table right next to the dancing area, which allowed for dancers or mingle-at-table types to effortlessly interact with one another—something that’s often missed at other weddings! And if you’re looking for an impressive view, you can’t get much better than the drive out to The Tavern. Croagh Patrick towers above Clew Bay, providing plenty of photo opportunities en route to the venue. At the restaurant itself, there’s a lovely outdoor seating area with views of the bay, and the interiors are a lovely mix of dark woods with light walls—pub-style, but bright enough for your wedding day! And a pink pub? Can you get any cuter than that? Overall it was a 10/10 experience and our dream wedding day. Our only regret is we can’t do it all again.

08/04/2026: Very nice with very attentive and friendly staff.

28/04/2026: Amazing food and lovely staff. Defo a special place to eat

20/03/2026: It's rare I write reviews but I had to on this occasion given how amazing everything was there last night at the house of plates. Went to house of plates last night for my birthday for a 3 course meal and I cannot praise the food and service enough. 10/10 experience. The food and flavours were sensational just mouth watering. The service was amazing and professional and friendly and there were no time delays with any of the dishes. Also loved the little complimentary starters that were given before our own starters came such as the bread with the beautiful oil and balsamic vinegar. Also the presentation of each dish was beautiful and thoughtfully put together. Thanks for an amazing experience we will be back <3 Páraic and Laura

11/05/2026: We visited Nevin's Restaurant as part of a tour group of 50 people, the staff were excellent, attentive, and kind.

Very quaint, we wish that we had longer to spend here.
