The best restaurants in Mayo

17/10/2026: very small portion of salmon and medley of veg which consisted of one of each carrot brocelli and red cabbage.Very bad value for money.

14/10/2026: We found it unexpectedly. Among the restaurants we'd tried, Topas was closed, and we weren't interested in Japanese or Indian cuisine. The GPS returned nearby restaurants with decent ratings. Everything exceeded our expectations. We were greeted very warmly and allowed to take our table. There were plenty of people, but not too many. It wasn't noisy, and the music was pleasant. The interior was beautiful with candles. The other patrons looked very dignified. Even a group of priests (8 of them) showed up, speaking mostly Italian. The dishes were excellently prepared and plentiful. We stumbled upon this place spontaneously, without a reservation. We're sure we'll be visiting this establishment more often from now on.

23/09/2026: Wonderful little restaurant, vegan options were amazing and the staff were so so friendly. Highly recommend.

05/09/2026: Looking forward to visiting Sol Rio on our next visit to Westport. Great food, service and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend a visit. Madeleine

09/09/2026: Always lovely for an afternoon latte

20/08/2026: Delicious coffee and the best banana loaf in Mayo!

03/09/2026: Nice, clean and polite friendly staff

20/06/2026: Really enjoyed my pizza from Dominos! The pizza was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. Definitely a reliable place when you’re craving good pizza. They were very polite, attentive, and ensured my order was handled perfectly. It’s always nice to see such excellent customer service. Highly recommend!

01/09/2026: Nice good and staff, but can be quite busy

26/08/2026: Well worth a visit or 2 or3 in our case. Great food. Great service

25/09/2026: Went back to the Dining Room last night for the 4th time. We visit Westport annually from the U.S. and the Dining Room in Castlebar is always a must stop. By far the best dining experience we experience each year. Fantastic food, small but excellent wine list, and well worth the 20 minute drive from Westport. Already planning our return in May.

14/07/2026: What a wonderful evening! My friend from Westport invited me here, and I was genuinely impressed. The food was outstanding from start to finish. I chose the special of the day – halibut with a lobster bisque – and it was absolutely delicious. I especially loved that they even brought me an extra jug of the bisque, which was such a lovely touch. The starter was equally delicious: perfectly cooked scampi served on a fresh salad. The restaurant itself is quite small, which gives it a warm, intimate atmosphere. I felt very comfortable throughout the evening, and the service was friendly and attentive. If I’m back in Castlebar, I will definitely come here again. Highly recommended!

10/10/2026: Top notch experience last Sunday at The Dungeon. We had an amazing dinner in this charming place, where the atmosphere is magic. Excellent food, excellent wine menu and superb service with the beautiful Marianna and her colleagues who looked after us and made us feel special. They made our dinner. We also got the chance to meet again Martin Whyte, one of the best chefs in the world. We travelled from Clare also to meet him. We’re so grateful and will be back soon.

29/08/2026: The Dungeon is another restaurant at Ashford Castle and a completely different experience from the more formal places. It has the atmosphere of a traditional Irish pub — very relaxed, cozy and absolutely casual. No need to dress up at all, which is actually very nice for a change. The food was really delicious. We ate very well and the service was excellent too. And of course I have to mention the onion rings — my favourite — they were absolutely excellent! 😄 One important thing: definitely book in advance. The restaurant is quite small and there are not many tables, so it can easily be full. We really enjoyed our dinner here. Simple, cozy, very Irish, great service and very good food. Definitely recommend it during your stay at Ashford Castle! Absolutely worth trying, especially if you want a relaxed and casual evening

07/10/2026: Honestly, one of the best coffees I’ve had! So creamy and delicious, and a real work of art! Lovely customer service too. Can’t wait to go back!

16/09/2026: Stopped in Araby passing through Claremorris. Parking was very accessible beside the premises. No wait for a table on arrival. Staff were all very pleasant and welcoming. we enjoyed a very tasty curry. The portions were generous at a very reasonable price. Would highly recommend

04/10/2026: We come here regularly and have to say wonderful staff, great food and a very enjoyable evening. The staff are so friendly and when we have birthdays to celebrate they are so good with our grandkids. Emma, Chloe and all the staff couldn't do enough for you. Thanks for everything.

28/09/2026: Never fails to be a great experience

08/10/2026: An amazing experience! I booked via Instagram and the manager who greeted us at the door knew who were were, and knew that mu husband was vegan. It's rare to get a whole vegan menu so this was amazing. Service was impeccable, cannot fault it or the food. It was truly an excellent meal from start to finished. Lovely friendly service. Would highly recommend and would return.

05/10/2026: Never disappoints, our 4th time at this stage going to the Poacher. So different to what you see for dining nowadays. They sure are passionate about their food.

30/09/2026: Lovely food and friendly staff.

22/09/2026: Not a good sign when your main course (burger) arrives out - 5 minutes after you order it. Would not go back, the quality of the food is extremely poor. The prices are high for the quality of food you get.

22/09/2026: I ordered over the phone and chose the time we would pick up, the phone was answered quickly and very professionally, when I arrived at the time I paid and my 2 Fish and one portion of chips was ready, the service and staff are excellent, the food was delicious cooked to perfection they deserved to win their accolade earlier in the year well done Thank you.

09/09/2026: Succulent chicken and tasty chips. Missed in Westport. Come back soon.

26/09/2026: Great atmosphere and music here.

15/08/2026: Stayed in the apartments. The staff are very welcoming and the regulars are friendly. The apartment all through was spotless. I had a decent weeks sleep until Thursday night. Should've gone sleep early ready for work. Got woke up half eleven twelve. Status Quo, The Cranberries all sorts. A live band downstairs. I ended up at 1 o'clock in the morning having a crafty ciggy at my bathroom window singing Cher, "Do you believe in life after love"

08/07/2026: Great choice of wares . Bit crowded when I was there ….but that’s a good thing for them 👍

22/06/2026: Always worth a visit although a lot of item that were the previously were unavailable this time

21/09/2026: I have too say 1 off the best places Ive eaten in a long long time. I got a recomendation too eat here so I did. 1st time and no regrets. I had the Chicken Korma for mains and lemon merange pie for desert washed down with an Americano. All for 'and this is the best part 20 Euro'. It has been a long long time since I eat such good quality food at affordable prices, and Portion size good. Its such a breath off fresh air too be able too get value for money. The desert coming in at eur4.95 instead off the usual 8.99 this is what I call value for money. Ample parking friendly staff and clean environment. I will be back. John Paul

16/09/2026: Great food & selection. Friendly staff.
