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☘️🎉🥳

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!

15/06/2026: Lovely restaurant with delicious food and the servers are lovely very friendly, I recommend the meat ravioli it is delicious

08/06/2026: I was in Westport with 4 friends celebrating my birthday and wanted a meal in a nice restaurant. I had no idea about La Bella Vita beforehand but it looked good from the outside and, although it lacked the usual Italian staples - bolognese, lasagna etc - the menu looked interesting. It totally surpassed all expectations. Everything tasted very fresh, was cooked to perfection and, for the quality, the bill was very reasonable. I thoroughly recommend La Bella Vita.

14/05/2026: Bar staff are extremely poor standard. Haven't got a clue. Bald guy behind bar is more more interested in talking to people than serving. Still seving at 11-40 and asked him for a drink and shouts finished u think we here all night. If it owned it he wouldn't have a job no customer skills at all

The cuisine is top-notch, everything is incredibly delicious. The steak melted in your mouth, the creamy chowder was incredibly tender and delicious, and the dessert was a delight!

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.
