The best restaurants in Castlebar legal

08/07/2025: Still my favourite restaurant in Castlebar. Food was unreal...

04/07/2025: This definitely has the wow factor! This was a really good find on Insta. It’s worth a visit. We went for dinner and it did not disappoint! The food was totally amazing, the taste, texture and presentation was like looking at a window of diamonds! The staff were friendly, attentive and made the experience delightful. Fabulous and we will definitely be back 👍👍👍

10/07/2025: We have eaten here so many times since 2011. The best food ever you can get on earth, no exaggeration. Mustafa is superb and welcoming and the food is simply brilliant. Always fresh, always delicious, always makes you wanting more. My kids love this place and have written the following sentences themselves: It’s is honestly the best restaurant in all of history ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👌 Your restaurant looks amazing 🍟🍽️ Top best food ever!🩵 Thanks Mustafa and the team and we will definitely be back whenever we are in Mayo

08/07/2025: I had a very lovely tea and coffee experience here, stopping in from a day of shopping. This was a great place to visit.

05/06/2025: First time to the Dining Room since the restaurant changed hands in recent years. We were on an overnight stay in Castlebar, and having read some great reviews (most notably The Irish Times), I was looking forward to dining there. Not the usual A La Carte menu on offer, and instead there's two set four-course menus to choose from.... we opted for menu offering good selection of fish, poultry and vegetarian dishes. We were warmly greeted by the restaurant manager Shirley and shown to our table. The restaurant was busy for a bank holiday Saturday night and there was a good atmosphere with reasonable sound levels (nothing worse than restaurant full of loud patrons and you can't hear yourself think literally!) Prompt service at the outset - with starters and mains ordered, along with a bottle of the house red (three to choose from). Overall the wine and drinks menu is varied and very reasonably priced. Both of our starters and main courses were - in a word - 'sublime' and we looked forward to tasting their desserts. However, that's where it all turned sour (for want of a better word) because we waited the best part of over 30 minutes to see a dessert menu. It felt like once the dishes for main courses were removed, they forgot we there, as other patrons came and went, and service seemed to be on the ball (many of them appeared to be local diners and were friendly with the manager and staff). When we finally were given a dessert menu, it then took some more time to be served. Overall, I enjoyed my dessert but alas my sister found her dish rather bland and tasteless.....plus it's unacceptable to have to wait nearly 40 mins or more to sample the final course of the evening. Sadly, we didn't think the Dining Room was worthy of a service tip.... nor was our experience worthy of five stars. Not sure if I would go back.

25/05/2025: Great food, great service, lovely atmosphere. The menu maybe limited, but the quality was extraordinary. The staff were not very knowledgeable, but also very helpful and friendly.

25/06/2025: Visited today, and had to give them the review they deserve. The best Penne Pollo E Broccoli and garlic bread we ever had till now! Simple elegant and each bite had perfect creamy flavour.

20/06/2025: Fabulous food and first class friendly service.

13/06/2025: Best pint of Guinness on the planet

13/06/2025: We came in here after reading all the excellent reviews and we were really looking forward to coming in here for a good night.The biggest letdown of our 2 weeks in Ireland.Yes it was a Tuesday night and possibly Tuesdays nights in Byrne's bar are maybe always awful and if we came any other night it might have been different but when we entered there were 3 others sitting at the bar and I asked if they did food.The reply was no and it's cash only in here.Wow how to make you feel welcome indeed.we did order a pint but couldn't wait to get out of the place. judging by other reviews I don't think that was the owner who served us and honestly I couldn't care less now but we did tell everyone else staying at the Ellison hotel we spoke to,to avoid Byrne's bar and I hope they did..I really don't like giving bad reviews at all but I just had to here.it really was an awful experience

14/07/2025: Excellent fish and chips. The fish is in the lightest batter and the chips are homemade and cooked to order. Served on proper plates and proper cutlery

18/06/2025: Great service. Great atmosphere. A good selection of craft beers and a selection of vegan meals and desserts. Recommended.

08/06/2025: Fabulous meal. When I booked I never thought about specifying a low table for my 89 year-old dad and after some quick table rearranging, the floor manager got us properly settled. Booking lesson learned! Excellent choice for us all including a vegan and vegetarian. Observant but not intrusive wait staff and a very good non alcoholic drinks option. Fully recommend.

26/06/2025: Just had one of the amazing wood fire pizza, fast service and the tastiest food!

24/05/2025: A must stop if in Mayo. Stopped here yesterday after our trip up from Kilkenny. One of the best pizza's I've ever had .

11/06/2025: A Standout Spot in Castlebar There’s truly no place like The Bridge Street Bar in Castlebar. It brings something fresh and modern to the town from its stylish interior and vibrant atmosphere to the consistently high standard of service and presentation. The staff is always on point, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. The drinks are excellent, and there’s always a great buzz whether you’re there for a casual evening or a big night out. Its central location makes it the perfect meeting spot, and it’s quickly become one of the go-to venues in the area. A brilliant addition to Castlebar’s social scene; highly recommend it!

27/05/2025: Service great, cosy and central.

15/06/2025: Best pizza I've tasted in years!

24/06/2025: Friendly staff, quick service, tasty wrap
