The best restaurants in Mayo

07/01/2026: Very very good. The toasted sandwich on sourdough was delicious with fresh salad and dressing and chips. The Americano coffee was the best I have had in a long long time. We were greeted at the door with a lovely welcome. All the waiting staff were the same so friendly and helpful. The place was spotless comfortable and spacious. Will be stopping here again.

19/12/2025: Busy, popular, bakery cafe. Would recommend it to anybody in, passing through or near Ballinrobe.

03/12/2025: Every day with out fail I have my Americano with a drop Of milk ;) . By far the nicest coffee around by a mile . Gemma

07/11/2025: Very good coffee and nice pastries, it’s a drive through, but I used the pedestrian counter at the side. Staff v. Friendly and helpful.

27/02/2026: I had a takeaway and it tasted pretty good. That's why some of my answers don't reflect like others do. I ordered a pepperoni. Way too expensive though

31/01/2026: This is were all the cool kids go... of course I noticed it was the kids of the 90s. The best generation, But still cool nonetheless. A great bar with some great cool hide away tables. This allows for decent chats and socialising, not provided by Bridge St, you have to bring your own. Normally Irish bars have live bands, no shade as the kids say. But sometimes you want a bar with a great selection of drinks and to be able to speak to the people on your table. This is the place. Staff are friendly and intuitive, not leaving you thirsty. Also there is a great outdoor area which allows for eating. There is even a food truck that parks right up to the outside tables. So there isn't much of a walk for a take away pint and meal. Also if you prefer other takeaway places, they all say that you can eat their food there too. The outside place is sheltered, but I wouldn't like to test it during a downpour.

06/12/2025: Great pub, friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere.

28/10/2025: The food was really good and they were incredibly sweet to us. The owner, she was incredibly kind to us and to us and we had some nice chats. The cakes and tea there are also really good. They've a really cool seating area and some interesting stuff for sale as well. There are very few Korean restaurants around so I strongly recommend supporting this place! My wife is from Vietnam where they have a lot of Korean food and she really enjoyed it as well

24/10/2025: Got too excited and forgot to take a photo of the food again. Everything we ordered was absolutely gorgeous. The food is fresh and full of flavour, desserts are next level, and the staff are always so lovely and professional!

03/05/2026: Lovely carvery with excellent food and service. What impressed me most was how accommodating they were with someone who came in with limited mobility.

14/04/2026: Delicious Sunday lunch. Great service. Plenty of choice

19/04/2026: We had a fabulous time at the Beleek Castle. The desk clerk explained about the castle and signed us up for a guided tour. Tickets were reasonable. Our guide was a school teacher and he was very knowledgeable about the history of the castle. It is richly decorated with antiques and is popular with people planning weddings. The best 2 areas were the room of Jurassic fossils and the room of ancient weapons and armor.

05/04/2026: So I am incredibly sad to give such a low star rating for the food and castle but there are significant points of difference if you are interested in the environment and you subscribe to their “garden to table” ethos. Firstly, the food was amazing and the staff were absolutely lovely. That said the cheese course was poor (and I’m sure the grapes weren’t local 🤣) but I think there were supply issues so the dish wasn’t as per the menu. The Castle claims to have a walk to table philosophy versus miles for ingredients so I was surprised to see asparagus on the menu at the beginning of April. I asked the question to the waitress in terms of how they managed to have asparagus at this time of year. The lovely lady didn’t know but asked the kitchen and apparently they have “a very good gardener”. I will take that as a horticulturalist with a pinch of salt given the weather conditions. The only thing that is absolutely unforgivable is that they burn peat, the carbon sink of the planet and the most precious resource known to man. Peat sale is banned in Ireland unless you have Turbary rights (local family’s use of peat for fuel but can’t be sold under law) but sadly I have seen that Airbnb’s and hotels that do not need to rely on cheap peat fuel as they are profiteering from people staying and they don’t seem to meet the Turbary right rules. They are not rural communities struggling with the cost of fuel crisis. I have been absolutely dumbfounded by the Irish’s approach to peat, it is heartbreaking 💔.

27/09/2025: We had a wonderful family meal in Coveys. Special mention to Hussane, who was exceptional and looked after us well. Would highly recommend.

03/09/2025: Atmosphere and service of restaurant was very nice. The server was courteous and friendly. Reason for my 3 star rating is my ribeye steak was inedible, very tough, fatty, chewy. A far cry from the “marbling that melts into the meat resulting in a juicy steak” as advertised. I was expecting a fine cut of steak. Tried real hard to eat it, but after half the steak was so tough and chewy and having to take the meat out of my mouth, I gave up. The side dishes were all quite good and I enjoyed them very much. The peppercorn sauce was also very good…I dipped my chips in it since the steak wasn’t working out. My wife ordered the fillet and it was very good. She gave me a few bites and I wish I had ordered the fillet, not the ribeye. Perhaps it was just a bad cut that night, I don’t know as this was our first visit to Westport and Coveys. They did offer to cook me a new piece of meat, but at this point my wife was nearly done, so I declined.

18/09/2025: Wonderful cafe, both the lady and gent were very friendly and helpful. Had one of the specials, massive portion and very reasonably priced. Would recommend.

12/07/2025: Have been in Ireland for a week now and this is the best meal of had

29/11/2025: My daughter and I wanted a coffee and a bun and a little Christmas cheer so we ventured in to Curry"s cottage .So warm and cozy, and with the soft Christmas music playing in the background, it felt that I traveled back in time, visiting my Granny at Christmas. The atmosphere was so welcoming and the staff were so full of cheer. I would recommend you to visit Curry's over the Christmas period. It is just amazing.

08/11/2025: Such a beautiful little cafe. Quantity, friendly and charming. Staff a lovely and friendly. Highly recommend.
