The best restaurants in Castlebar legal

06/11/2025: A wonderful expirience all around. We went here for our 5 year anniversary recently and could not have chosen a better place. Recommend without hesitation, especially for special occasions.

06/10/2025: Food is always top class! Great atmosphere! Great service as always from Marty and Aoife. Well done guys!

12/12/2025: I was out with a group from work recently, and there were a few other Christmas parties in as well, so the place had a great buzz. The food was lovely — everyone at our table was happy with what they got — and the staff were genuinely pleasant, attentive, and doing their best on a busy night. The one downside was the noise level. The acoustics in the restaurant are very poor, and with multiple groups talking over each other, the din became almost unbearable at times. It made conversation difficult, even across the table. It’s a pity, because everything else about the evening was spot on. If Al Muretto improved the acoustics, it would turn a good night into a great one. As it stands, the food and service are excellent, but be prepared for a very loud room when it’s busy — especially around Christmas.

19/11/2025: Great food, good service. Tables are too close to each other but overall it's a good place. 4ppl dinner is over 130euro

19/12/2025: Absolutely nice place and service. Good value for money. I cannot recommend it enough

09/10/2025: Love coming here, especially with the family. Shirley and the gang provide top-notch hospitality with a warm and welcoming touch. This restaurant caters excellently for kids, with the choice and quality of the kids menu as good as the main one! Great restaurant to visit also with colleagues and friends - all guests and occasions are catered for with equal dedication and excellence.

01/10/2025: Decent food, decently priced for the amount of food given. It's a takeaway. Don't expect too much

29/09/2025: Great food freshly cooked, prompt service, friendly and efficient staff. Clean

08/11/2025: I was visiting Castlebar from the US and Mick could not have been more welcoming. I also ended up stopping in during the day to ask for directions and a different barman was also extremely hospitable. It's a very positive feel here, not to mention a top notch pint of Guinness. I'll definitely return the next time I'm in the area.

27/10/2025: Great place for pints. Staff are excellent 👌

27/08/2025: They take orders by phone and you can come there and order takeaway. They cook quickly, I liked everything.

10/08/2025: Got two pizza today, they were really fresh and tasty and really quick, and excellent service

07/11/2025: Very good food although extremely loud for a place that I figured would be a quiet sit down restaurant

07/11/2025: Very impressed with service, friendliness and food even as an awkward sole diner.

08/12/2025: Ordered 2 fish and chips large Large was overstated chips were not chip shop chips, they were dry like cardboard like the end of a frozen bag The fish was dry I would say it was frozen. I tryed danollas last year same experience. I thought it would be better Sorry but things can't improve unless people give feedback Proper fish and chips are in Newport blue dolphin much better.

21/11/2025: Food is generally alright but the southern fried chicken is actually the greasiest thing you can ever eat and it didn’t even taste southern fried

09/09/2025: Quiet afternoon popped in for a quick bite to eat for lunch. Bar lady was so nice and welcoming. We will defo be back. 100% home cooked food. Simple menu but just what we wanted. Homemade veg soup and brown bread… so fresh Chicken goujons wrap with sweet chilli. Amazing value and literally 10 mins waiting.

08/06/2025: Great spot. What's the Munster hurling final here. Everyone was good craic especially the barman Tadgh

08/11/2025: Wow! An amazing hotel and 10/10 hospitality from the staff. Traveling with a baby can be nerve wracking but the staff at the hotel did everything to make our stay comfortable and kid friendly. Will definitely be back.

06/11/2025: One star off for instant coffee sachets in the room and a tin pot of coffee at breakfast I.e no decent coffee to be had. Otherwise decent hotel.

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.

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.
