The best restaurants in Mayo

01/04/2025: Maybe ordering on a Monday wasn't a good idea. Chicken balls were cremated, rice was chewy and bland with no seasoning or flavour. Worst Chinese Ive ever eaten in all of my years

03/01/2025: Best Chinese restaurant in castlebar. Iv tried them all . You get a lot of good food for little money.

25/08/2024: It makes me very sad to write a bad review, because I never do that. But I am so very disappointed in the food we have received. We are not people who get a ton of take-aways, as it costs a lot of money. So this is extra disappointing to receive this type of food.

22/07/2024: Food is very nice, enormous portions, tasty and fast prepared. Everything perfect :-)

22/04/2025: Stunning evening once again! Food and service is just 10/10 Super welcome 🙏 fusion of flavours and generous portions with a great welcome....we will continue to return.......

22/04/2025: Highly recommend this place , we Looked for this place last night as we ate previously, but unfortunately got recommended to another place , which was advertised as Á Thai restaurant, very disappointed!!!!,Now this is the best place in westport , this is the authentic Indian/ Nepalese experience , highly recommend the house Red Merlot , generous portions and really well priced

11/04/2025: Great kebabs it's my go to place for a Kebab. No waiting about and a good price ,well worth the trip out to Killamarsh.

02/01/2025: The food is excellent and reasonably priced. They are kindly patient with my challenges. They only do take-away or delivery, NO dine-in.

22/05/2025: Very nice stuff very nice SERVICE staff tried their best to do the customer very happy we will definitely return again

14/12/2024: Ordered pizzas and sides. Not great now, not very fresh onion rings tasted stale and pizza tasted like it was made hours ago

22/03/2025: The kebabs are very good and very big for the price 😁

16/01/2025: If you aren't in the know, the Indian cuisine on offer here might surprise you with quality. I ordered chicken pakora, a chicken bhuna and a keema naan and it was all delicious.

08/09/2024: It's very disappointing because we didn't even qualify. On the Internet it is written that it is open, but we found a sign on the door that it is closed. We were detoured from the route because of this cafe

23/08/2024: Stopped here for a quick sandwich, very tasty and fresh. The staff were friendly.

06/04/2025: Chicken balls are terrible 🤢🤮🤮🤮 need a better chinese have to go to balla to get a nice one 🙄🙄😂

14/03/2025: Always a good treat every once in a while. From Chinese to Thai cuisine. Portion is big and it tastes good. Reservation is advised for dine in. This is the only Chinese restaurant in town.

20/04/2025: Top notch food and service in a beautiful dining area. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and attentive. Both breakfast and dinner are not to be missed

24/12/2024: The George V Restaurant at Ashford Castle offers a truly magical atmosphere, especially during the festive season. The elegant Christmas decorations, the historic castle setting, and the warmth of the fireplace create a charming and luxurious ambiance that makes the visit feel special from the moment you arrive. While the atmosphere was impeccable, the overall experience fell short in other areas. The food, unfortunately, was inconsistent. The scallops were overcooked and overwhelmed by a chaotic plate presentation, while the winter salad impressed with its fresh ingredients and creative dressing. The black sole fillet was cooked well but accompanied by two types of potatoes, making it feel less refined, more akin to pub fare than fine dining. Desserts were limited to mousses and soufflés, with no cakes or other creative options, highlighting the need for a skilled pâtissier to add variety and finesse to the menu. Service, though attentive in some respects, did not meet the standards expected of such a prestigious venue. Key oversights included: Coats were not taken upon arrival, an unusual omission in a high-end setting. Wine was served only after the food had been brought to the table, disrupting the natural flow of the meal. Basic fine dining etiquette was missing. For instance: Serving and clearing from incorrect sides. Crossing into guests' personal space rather than walking around the table. Stacking plates while clearing. Not replacing dropped napkins promptly. Additionally, the waiting staff lacked the refinement and poise expected at such an establishment, detracting from the overall sense of occasion. That said, we appreciated Manager Andrej's warm attention and the thoughtful anniversary treat, which added a personal touch to the evening. However, given the steep pricing, the value for money was disappointing. The quality of both food and service does not justify the high cost, leaving us feeling that the experience lacked the polish and excellence one expects at such a renowned location. While the ambiance and charm are undeniable, significant improvements in both service etiquette and culinary execution are needed to make the George V Restaurant a truly exceptional dining destination.

18/10/2024: great spot for lunch food plenty of choice and we all lovef it

13/10/2024: Every time I go to westport I make a point of popping in for either something to eat or drink or both .

05/05/2025: I love drinking coffee here, it’s very cozy, I recommend it.

14/01/2025: Great coffee shop for a chat and a coffee

03/03/2025: Staff were nice. Burger was a little overcooked and so were the fries. Most of the tables were covered in rubbish from previous customers with no sign of anyone coming to take it away or clean the surfaces. I wasn’t that comfortable while eating my food while surrounded by all of that.

04/02/2025: This is a shared premises with Londis. I actually got lunch in the supermarket instead. The meal was excellent and service was great.

14/05/2025: This is a proper Ballina pub, cosy, as pubs were when I was younger. Great Guinness, poured perfectly, not too cold. Nice folks in there of an older outlook but engaging and friendly. Derek and his wife are no nonsense decent people.

08/04/2025: I'm a hard working Irish man working a job that the majority of Irish people refuse to work in and that is the care of elderly in nursing homes for many years. I arrived to Ballina for the night after sightseeing the Mayo coast. Without having previously taken a drink of alcohol I was refused service at this pub saying "I had too much to drink tonight". The real reason was my Limerick accent and what one local barman said to me. He believed me to be belonging to an "ethnic minority" which means to us Irish as the Travelling Community. And so what if I was!? I have been up and down my country of Ireland and as a middle aged man I have never experienced any type of discrimination before. Close minded bigots.
