The best restaurants in Mayo

17/07/2025: I was in Westport for the Bluegrass festival and went here twice! Loved the atmosphere and the coffee and food were great! Definitely recommend

12/07/2025: Very nice place, nice sandwiches and cakes!!

03/10/2025: Popped in for dinner, good service and good food 😋

12/09/2025: Well worth the stop for great staff and beautiful food.

15/10/2025: Nice place, great food. Good service. Really enjoyed the starter, the main course and the desert. . I don't recommend the coffee. The coffee was weak and cold.

04/06/2025: I went to Oxtsil on Friday with my friend her daughter and my daughters. We had such a great night full of laughter and fantastic food. I can only say it's one of our absolute favourite restaurants to go to. The food is absolutely amazing, all seasonal. I don't know how they do it but each dish busts with flavour, they're is an explosion of flavour on each bite. I ate gambas prawns, for starter, pork belly with prawns for mains. We shared 3deserts between us, malt and Hazelnut cheesecake, salted Carmel with a homemade biscuit and a chocolate moose with brownie and honeycomb 😋😋😋😋😋 amazing! My friend and her daughter live in NY and we book oxtail evertime she comes home, that's testament in itself. Well done, keep up the good work. Can't wait to go back in July

04/10/2025: Shoutout to the staff working during Storm Amy on Friday aftn.🤩 I was working in a Residential Care Home with residents who have eating issues and require their food blended to a paste. The storm took our power very early in the afternoon , b⁴ we had prepped their meals. *The staff at Supermacs were unbelievably capable, taking the time to blend meals with soup & blitz them for me, then helped carry the order out to the car for me. All our Care Home staff were just so grateful & residents enjoyed their unexpected Takeaway meal 😀

28/09/2025: Had lots to offer. A good space, Close to the exit to a main road so very easy to access

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.

12/10/2025: Extremely Disappointing Stay – Not Worth the Price I stayed at Pure Magic Achill Island for 2 nights, and it was the worst accommodation experience I’ve ever had. We chose it based on the good online reviews and clean photos, and paid €270 just for the room. However, upon arrival, I was completely shocked. The room was not clean — there was hair all over the bed, and the bed linen clearly hadn’t been freshly changed. When I complained, I was offered another room with a double bed, single bed, and bunk beds for two of us and it was even worse. The room smelled like an old college hostel and had a tiny bathroom roughly partitioned with hardboard. When I asked for a refund to find another place, they refused, leaving me no choice but to stay in the first room. The shower water didn’t drain properly, the toilet wobbled when sitting on it, and even the towel was jammed into the sink. The whole building was old, dirty, and poorly maintained. Overall, it was a total nightmare. Definitely not worth the money and I do not recommend this place at all.

21/09/2025: Pure Magic is a place close to my heart. I’ve stayed here many times, and it never disappoints. Nestled at the foot of Slievemore Mountain, it’s perfect for a peaceful, tranquil break. The staff are very friendly, helpful, and easy-going. The food is excellent—highlights for me are the lasagne, which is a special, the warming seafood chowder, and the decadent white chocolate crème brûlée. Breakfast is just as good, with perfectly poached eggs and a great balance of healthy bites and hearty indulgence. Keel Beach is a short cycle or drive away, perfect for a morning dip in the Atlantic. From the property, you can also enjoy walks to an impressive megalithic site and the Deserted Famine Village—great hikes without being too strenuous. I can’t recommend this place enough.

06/10/2025: Best coffee, treats, gifts and team in Mayo. Love it here. Always heavenly 💜💜💜

05/07/2025: Fab Coffee and Brownie on a Saturday afternoon. Highly recommend

23/08/2025: A charming pub with a lovely musical atmosphere in the village of Killala. We enjoyed a pint of Guinness, accompanied by breaded scampi and a stew floating in carrots. The dishes are simple and not particularly exciting, but there's nothing better in the area, so we considered ourselves lucky to find a table, considering it was a late July evening.

21/08/2025: We had the dish of the day, Roast Beef. The Beef was dry and tough. The vegetables weren't fresh cooked and without any taste. The best of the meal were the chips.....

09/09/2025: This is a favorite spot for our family we go regularly. Margaret and the staff are efficient and very friendly. They do lovely gluten free food and bake their own gluten free bread too. It can be really busy at time but that's because it's a great spot to eat and good value, family friendly too.

23/08/2025: A brilliant cafe. The service is perfect. The food is decently priced and of the best quality. Would always recommend.

21/09/2025: I was very happy to discover this book shop and café. We had great coffee and tasty scones upstairs.

29/07/2025: A fantastic shop with a great selection. Big shout out to Aoife who was fantastic helping me to choose a perfect gift for a difficult person to buy for!

22/08/2025: A very nice little bakery and café. It was delicious and the service was very friendly. We'd be happy to return.

21/08/2025: Lovely cozy tea room . Home made cakes and fabulous sandwiches . Home made bread . So good .

18/10/2025: We enjoyed our time at the hotel and the city, we extended our stay for 1 night. Located in the city center, lots of restos and pubs. Staff were friendly. Big bed and clean room and bathroom. Good brekkie, I love their chowder

18/10/2025: The best and nicest hotel we have ever stayed in. Nice and friendly people, perfect service, ideal location. A pure pleasure. 🙏

22/08/2025: This was the best place I have ever been too. The craic was fantastic, music 🎶 unreal and wow what an atmosphere. Thanks to Emma and the staff who looked after 9 of us so well and we were a mad bunch of ladies. We will definitely return. It's a great place to find and very hard to leave. Actually we didn't want to leave !!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

20/05/2025: I have never been to a better bar. Absolutely fantastic staff. So welcoming and warm. Drinks are fantastic. The most Irish bar in Mayo, absolutely brilliant. Genuine owners and staff, if you travel to Westport, you cant miss this pub! Amazing.

22/06/2025: Wanted somewhere to eat and a friend recommended lillies and by god we were not disappointed. The lady that served us was the nicest woman ever and so helpful. The food was unreal. The food was 10/10.. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED..

19/06/2025: Lovely spot to jump in for a quick bite staff lovely and friendly brought straight over to a seat. Not a long wait for the food which was lovely. Need to up there advertising around the town because its a place not to be missed for a quick bite

12/10/2025: Had breakfast here yesterday. Really gorgeous. Service very quick even though it was busy. 3 of us left there full and very happy. Looking forward to a return visit

18/09/2025: What a gem of a place, we’d been to the Deli the day before and bought some granola and flour, and had a take out coffee, so we were really looking forward to a late breakfast at Café Rua. First impressions were a fantastic welcome and real friendly people, nothing sham or pretend here. What a great menu, absolutely something for all tastes and dietary requirements. The chorizo, spinach and sautéed potatoes, topped with 2 perfectly poached eggs and accompanied with chilli relish was excellent. Real fresh orange juice was delightful, and the coffee? Epic! What a fabulous way to spend time being looked after in one of the best cafés I’ve visited.
