The best restaurants in Mayo

12/09/2026: Traditional pub. Good atmosphere. Welcoming.

29/07/2026: Great little pub overlooking the river Moy. Always a nice atmosphere, and perfect whether there are two or twenty of you socialising. Nice pint of Smithwicks too.

01/10/2026: Lovely food, friendly service and a pretty good vibe, even on the Tuesday night when we were there. And a pretty darn good pint of Guinness.

10/09/2026: Fantastic food, super menu, great staff, if you haven’t been, then go there

22/04/2026: Lovely little pub in a idilic location.. good drink and reasonable prices

12/06/2026: Best chipper around. Everything they make is high quality and fresh. I drive out of my way to stop here.

20/07/2026: This was our favorite pizza place in Ballina. The restaurant was always spotless, and the staff were incredibly friendly and had a great eye for detail. Every ingredient was placed so beautifully on the pizza. Everything was delicious, and we always enjoyed coming back

12/04/2026: Lady Fire Slice is very accommodating, very personable, makes fantastic and delicious pizzas. You cannot lose by ordering here. So to get this out of the way... Lady Fire Slice doesn't do pineapple. Love or hate it, and wifey does. But she is so accommodating, and because wifey brought pineapple chunks along was quite happy to add the toppings to her pizza. Wifey had the Ham, mushroom and cheese with extra pineapple. And although it's not everyone's tea, hubby has to admit it works rather well with ham and cheese pizza. Hubby went with the classic pepperoni pizza. And really liked the flavours, really tasty. This pace does some great pizzas, you'll get no complaints there. There are some minor inconveniences... Which boil down to its a pizza truck and the limits there. Which means eating it hot and order ahead of time is the only way to do it. We live 25 minutes away, and food doesn't last, it wasn't the same when we got home. No fault on Fire Slice, but is something to think about. Because the truck was behind the Bridge st bar, there just wasn't any good place to sit and eat. So home needs to be close by. Secondly you need to order in advance as a artisanal pizza needs time. We recommend turning up to collect, to ensure it's hot and fresh. Also it is worth noting that keeping a pizza hot is just as difficult, so being punctual is a must too. All in all, you'd be missing a treat it you didn't try pizzas here. And if you must with pineapple you need to bring your own. On a personal note, deep pan pizzas are the best. I miss those, but everyone loves stone baked thin crusts, and I understand why... But hope deeppans come back.

09/01/2026: Amazing pizza! Thin crust, very tasty, good spread of options. Make sure to call well in advance, as they're quite busy.

17/03/2026: Always a great place, where everyone knows your name.

22/06/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Birthday Celebration at Belleek Castle Hotel We recently celebrated a birthday party at Belleek Castle Hotel, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. A special thank you to Eva, who helped with the booking and suggested many great ideas that made the celebration even more special. Steven, the Operations head, leads his team with great professionalism and attention to detail. John, Daria, Raquel,forgot the other girl name (sorry) were excellent and Victoria did an amazing job with the setup, making the venue look beautiful. A special mention to receptionists Briyana and Ivana, who warmly welcomed our guests, guided them to the hall, and were very professional throughout the event. The food was lovely, and all of our guests praised the chef for the excellent meal. We also had the pleasure of meeting Andrew (Headchef) , who took great care of everyone, checking that all guests were comfortable and enjoying themselves. It was wonderful to meet the owner, Mathieu Doran, who was friendly and welcoming. After lunch, all of our guests enjoyed the guided castle tour with Paul (tour guide). He provided a fascinating and detailed explanation of the castle's history. The tour included the dungeons, museum, armoury room, fossils, rocks, and many other unique historical collections. There is so much to see and learn. I highly recommend Belleek Castle Hotel for weddings, birthday parties, special celebrations, and hotel stays. The exceptional staff, delicious food, beautiful setting, and rich history of the castle create a truly memorable experience. Thank you to everyone who made our celebration so special! 😊🏰🎉

13/05/2026: If you’re looking for THE castle experience this is it! The overall experience has been top tier offering grand furnishings, indulging restaurant and bar menu and relaxing atmosphere. The neo-gothic architecture and interior design transports you back in time. The only restaurant on site offers a unique and elegant menu with the highly recommended Drunken Bullock steak that is an experience in itself. As I write this, lounging in the luxuriously decorated sitting room adjacent to the Armada Bar, I can confidently tell you this is the place to book if you’re looking for a private castle visit. With only 10 bedrooms, you are guaranteed a timeless environment that takes you back in time. We are traveling the Wild Atlantic Way, which the Belleek castle has special WAW bundle offer with complimentary breakfast every morning, one night of complimentary 3 course meal for 2 at the their restaurant and 2 pints of Guinness at the armada bar. They also offer a tour (highly recommend booking) of the castle and dungeons daily which gives you an extra activity to do around the property. We are a young couple visiting from California. We got to meet the owner and he was so kind and friendly to us and our 16month baby. Happy to write they offer pop up cot which has been our deciding factor in choosing our residences along the WAW so we didn’t have to travel with a pop up cot. All in all would highly recommend coming on a weekday where you can avoid a possible wedding/wedding guests. The castle was up to par with what we had expected— the food/service was great and beautifully furnished. Some might expect Ritz Carlton meets Highclere castle- This is not that so get your expectations right before coming. The castle was such a fun experience along our journey across Ireland.

16/09/2026: Lovely local pub, very friendly and helpful landlady. They were very tolerant with my young daughter, nothing seemed to phase them! I am not sure if they serve food.

08/09/2026: Great pub on Achill, lots of space and easily the best smoking area in Achill. Friendly staff!

22/08/2026: I ordered a classic margarita which is a drink that i find many irish bars struggle to get right but I have to say it was absolutely outstanding! One of the best I've ever had. The only thing i would recommend is a bit more salt on the rim and for them to use flakey salt other than that i have no complaints. The service was fast and the servers were so kind. Overall it was an amazing vibe and will be coming again.

10/08/2026: Bridge st bar is set on Bridge St in Castlebar it has a good atmosphere in it, and they do Salsa Dance lessons upstairs, the staff are very friendly and helpful too

24/09/2026: Good coffee home made snacks and cakes

26/08/2026: This is an absolute beautiful home bakery and coffee ☕️ shop please give it a go you will not be disappointed.

20/07/2026: We ate lunch in the restaurant multiple times. The staff were very friendly and hospitable, the views were lovely and the food was amazing. Highly recommended!

06/06/2026: Great little spot staff lovely and friendly very clean pub

05/10/2026: The food was delicious and staff was really good ( chass agai ha ).

22/09/2026: Had a lovely time here at Jalan Jalan. This restaurant has variety of dishes and they are delicious. The ambiance was good and I am happy to visit again.

22/07/2026: Nice place, they have bar food available in the evenings and "continental" breakfast in the mornings.

03/07/2026: Local pub for the locals. It does not get more authentic than this. Very cozy atmosphere and great food! Exceptionally friendly and helpful service. Driving there can be a little tricky though - the entrance is somewhat hidden and you have to drive a very narrow and long path to reach the building.
