The best restaurants in Mayo

18/01/2025: Food is excellent. Very kind staff

12/01/2025: The Pizza is average. It could be and should so much better coming out of a woodfire and for the price of €17. What a shame. Tamato sauce sparce and tasteless and the toppings are sparce and tasteless. For the price it should be better. Chips were hard and tasted reheated.

25/03/2025: Such a fab place. Was apart of a hen group , couldn't have done enough for us. Service was wonderful and we had to stop again on the way home the next day just because of how we treated . 11/10 ..

01/03/2025: One of the best Pubs in Balkina 👍☺️

16/03/2025: Flying visit but soup & sambo hit the mark - be back!

30/01/2025: Fantastic range of freshly cooked dishes. Friendly & efficient service. Lovely atmosphere, brightly decorated with retro posters & plenty of space at each table. What's not to like...???!!!

20/03/2025: Didn’t stay the night , so no idea about the rooms . The overall vibe is very cool . Lovely traditional interior mixed with a bit of cool surfy stuff. The service and food were great . Decent prices . Would definitely go back again.

19/02/2025: We recently stayed at Pure Magic Lodge on Achill Island for two nights, and it was an unforgettable experience. The lodge offers stunning views of the Silvermore Summit from one side and the picturesque Keel Beach from the other, making it a truly magical place to stay. The accommodations were comfortable and well-maintained, providing a cozy atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with any request and eager to share their knowledge of the local area. The location is perfect for exploring Achill Island, with easy access to beautiful beaches, hiking trails, and other outdoor activities. Whether you're an adventure seeker or just looking to relax and enjoy the serene landscape, Pure Magic Lodge has something to offer. We highly recommend Pure Magic Lodge to anyone visiting Achill Island. The combination of breathtaking views, excellent service, and comfortable accommodations makes it a must-stay destination.

16/12/2024: Nice, reasonably priced hotpot (both the veggie and the regular one), lovely cakes and treats, and friendly staff. What more do you want? Recommended.

22/11/2024: I really want to keep this under the radar. So it's fantastic coffee and treats are not for you. The friendly helpful staff are just too nice. And don't have their sausages rolls. Otherwise, there won't be any for me. So just don't go there back up and try the circle k up the road.

13/02/2025: Myself my wife and child popped out for a bite to eat to top off a few days off from work. Personally I didn't want to go because I heard about what I am going to tell you now. I wont get to fancy about my Journalism and get to the point. I used to eat here quite regularly but like most establishments it is too expensive to justify anymore, we eat takeout instead. Here is our meal line-up. This is our experience of shrinkflation. Starter 3 small pieces of garlic bread and a little salad €7.90 (see menu below) Beef Burger and Chips - The burger was absolutely tiny (3-4oz Max - at least 30% smaller than it used to be, the chips were served in a tiny cup (maybe 10 chips - where the chips weren't even poking out over the top rim), the cup they are using is smaller and has replaced the one they used previously. To add insult to injury they served it on a tiny plate with a side salad to make the food look bigger by proportion. €18.90 (see menu below). 10oz DRY rib eye - This steak was 4oz at best with a small bit of potato and veg €32.9 (see menu below). Childs Pizza - (Hard to mess that up). Warm Chocolate brownie - (Hard to mess that up). We got wine and a few drinks as well, we needed it it after the above. All I can say is that the chef and the management should be ashamed of themselves for serving out so little food for such an amount of money. Its an absolute disgrace. We shouldn't have to complain, they know themselves but assume we wont complain (we shouldn't have to be put in that position anyway, they should have the decency to look after their customers from the get go). Other members of my family had food recently and had the same experience. Westport in general has gone really expensive, nearly all restaurants, cafes are the same in addition to the price of hotel rooms, many families now come and stay in hotels and eat takeout and have a few drinks in their rooms. I don't know why anyone would bother coming here anymore

23/01/2025: Beautiful house and grounds, the river and lake make for some lovley photos, the grounds are well kept anf full of wildlife, some beautiful walks and on one side you have the town on the other you have the coast road and harbour. A fantastic location to visit and explore, cheers

27/03/2025: I had a great lunch at Covey's, which was also excellent value. I ordered the pork belly special, and the pork was excellent, very tender and almost melting. It was only 13.90 too, and it was a full dinner-size portion (some places would charge that for a wrap). The service was great too.

25/03/2025: Great night with friends for dinner. Ivett was a fabulous host. Coveys is a busy restaurant food was very good . All staff very pleasant we enjoyed our meal. Thank you so much.

02/03/2025: An absolute gem, with delicious Indian food. Great for takeaway, but equally warm and cosy to eat in. Service is always great and friendly, and really good for family too. Love the prawn jalfrezi and our kids can't get enough butter chicken! Highly recommend.

07/02/2025: Chicken Balti was superb this evening! Sometimes I moan they forget things from the takeaway order but the food cannot be questioned! Fantastic!

20/11/2024: We are in Ireland for a couple weeks and have eaten at 2 of the finest hotels on the island but they pale in comparison to the authentic local fare served here at Carney’s. The seafood chowder was exactly what I had hoped for on this cold and rainy evening and was served piping hot with a side of delicious mashed potato. My wife had the Vol au Vents and it was hearty and delicious as well. All served and the Guinness poured perfectly by Katrina who was an superb host and she cheerfully provided local information and was very attentive to our needs. Highly recommend.

19/10/2024: After a trying day Carneys lifted our spirits with a great meal, fresh ingredients and menu and great service. Thankyou!

20/02/2025: Love the food here, fresh and tasty! Also the best all day breakfast anywhere in Castlebar, butcher quality meat and the hash browns are unreal! The staff are lovely to 😊

13/02/2025: Highly recommend. A lovely eating experience.

09/02/2025: Excellent service, friendly staff, super choice of drinks. Best pub in castlebar!

01/01/2025: Love this bar! 🍸 I highly recommend it for its amazing atmosphere and great beer. It's the perfect place to relax and enjoy a drink! 🍺

13/03/2025: I could not recommend this hotel enough. We went for a meal and stayed here after our small wedding ceremony. The staff were generous, attentive and kind. In particular, Sergio, in the restaurant went above and beyond to make it a memorable experience. Our room was fabulous, very clean and lovely amenities. The breakfast was delicious and the serving staff were friendly and efficient. We are already looking forward to our next stay.

01/03/2025: Amazing. Stumbled across this spot while looking for a light bite today. Sat in the window and people watched while enjoying the most fabulous cheese and meat platter with beautiful wine. A must try if in Westport.

19/10/2024: Great bookshop and friendly staff!

21/08/2024: What a find! I fell in love with it, books armchairs and coffee, I could have stayed all day.
