The best restaurants in Mayo

16/08/2023: Great atmosphere and best pint of Guinness around.

23/07/2023: I had the pleasure of visiting Moores pub in Swinford where I had my first beautiful pint of Guinness in the town. I was greeted by a lovely, welcoming atmosphere full of craic, banter and great conversation. I had a pleasure to meeting the owner Gerry who made the experience all the more memorable. The Guinness in Moores is highly recommend and it is a must for all visitors coming to Swinford! 😊

24/11/2024: We got the Lighthouse to do catering in our home for a Christening and we would highly recommend Mary and co. The food was fabulous and all our guests commented on how lovely it was. There is a great choice on offer, and from ordering to delivery, the service is seamless! It was great coming back from the church and having the food all set up ready to go! We will definitely order again!

16/09/2024: Thank you Mary & Sal for the excellent service in the catering business, I have used the Lighthouse for serval occasions and have no hesitations in giving the highest compliments for the food, service and friendliness. I highly recommend their chicken curry, beef stroganoff, potato gratin and pasta dishes with meat balls and side salads.

15/06/2025: Best pizza I've tasted in years!

18/06/2024: We decided to dine here in the last night of our stay in Mulranny and were extremely disappointed in the experience. Yes, it was busy as it was Father’s Day, but we had eaten elsewhere earlier in the day - more busy - and there was flawless service. When seated we waited 20 minutes for a drinks order ti be taken, my wife’s starter of prawns was presented in a bowl of bread cubes filled with oil, a team member came to clear the table before starters were finished and insisted on clearing my plate (I was finished), the mains arrived and we waited another 10 minutes for cutlery after requesting them, the chicken fillet burger was dry and tough, the beef burger was well over seasoned with salt - neither mains were half finished. At that point we had had enough and asked for the bill- another half hour wait with no acknowledgment and no bill. Money left on the table and we left - extremely disappointing and wouldn’t recommend.

31/03/2025: Lovely food, friendly and very helpful staff.

21/05/2024: It's 2024 and the waterfront bar has had a bit of a face lift. It's definitely worth the visit. The style has gone more old school, wifey says it has a lodge style. I am not so sure, but I can see the antiquated style and think they may be onto a winner. We just ordered a club sandwich to try out the menu here. And honestly I was impressed, it was filling, beautifully presented and very tasty. The only qualms I have with the club sandwich was it is 14 euros and a side is 4 euros extra. A little expensive. While the price point is just a little high. The extra is not reasonable price if you order the salad. My side salad cost the same as soup or chips, and to be honest it's not really justifiable that price. But the chips were lovely. On a fantastic day sitting outside is the place to be. The view is just something else. I recommend this place for a drink and a meal. They have the quality, taste and location. Well worth a visit.
