01/06/2026: Just WOW! This was a beautifully surprising experience start to finish. I was fortunate to get in for a booking on the same day, though I would definitely recommend prebooking. It is a preset menu, yet I would say the most incredible quality and presentation you could ever hope to get for the price. (This offering was 2 courses for €55, 3 courses for €62). Aoife was delightful through the entirety of the service, beginning with her spot-on recommendations and tastings of wine to select my bottle. The chef's snack started off with an impressive bang- sustainable use of "scraps" made into a delicious mouse, cradled within a parm crisp and served on a bed of smoked pine. Absolutely stunning! I'll honestly be thinking about this bite for a long while. It was followed by one of the most tasty bread courses I've ever had--honey rosemary bread (I've got to figure out how to recreate at home) with salted Irish butter, olive oil and an elderberry balsamic vinegar. I could've honestly only eaten that and still been happy! Next was a cheese souffle with leek fondue which was decadent and flavorful. My main course was a 12 hour cooked featherblade of Irish beef that didn't even require a knife. The unexpected toppings of black garlic, maple bacon and BBQ crisps were creative and deliciously unique. The sides were of generous portions- a potato mash with greens, fresh mixed veg and braised carrots and an impressive stacked and fried potato. The palate cleanser of a raspberry and lemon lolli-popcicle was a delightfully refreshing treat to finish it off. I took my dessert to-go of a dense, dark chocolate cake with raspberry. Gorgeous meal, I honestly had so much to take away after (including half the bottle of wine I didn't finish). Aoife was sweet enough as well to send me with recommendations for my visit and I expect her suggestions will be spot on. Overall, I consider this a tremendous value for the quality, experience and service and I would be thrilled to return! Thank you!

20/04/2026: Landlord is incredibly friendly and makes sure you feel very welcome and at home. Guinness is excellent too

25/02/2026: What a pub ! The keg under the bar, the Stout is cream, Mick himself is a gentleman, the epitome of hospitality, brings out snacks for the customers, makes welcome and warm conversation. A joy to visit, I shall return !

07/06/2026: We ordered today the prawn salad and one of the daily’s specials. It was delicious. The service was great (Raphael the head of the waitress recommended us those two dishes). Really great, obliging and friendly service! We can definitely recommend it!! The surrounding was nice and not too loud. Great work gluten-free options (at least 70% of the menu) as well.

07/06/2026: Absolutely beautiful meal, everything was perfectly done and presented very well. The service was impeccable. It was lovely to see such a well-coordinated team, all committed to delivering excellent hospitality. Highly recommend!

14/03/2026: Super friendly, owner was around and was very gracious. Overall, just great environment.

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

08/04/2026: A thoroughly enjoyable meal and very good service.

05/04/2026: This is a truly wonderful restaurant. I have been to 3 stare Michelin but to be honest this place is up there with very personal service and great food. A gem and nobody should miss it

07/04/2026: Normal the best but tonight it was the worse iv ever had it come acriss ild and eheated ,we throe it awsy What a wast off money angie

05/04/2026: Went there good Friday got 2 cod and chips. Only live 2 mile away about 3 minutes. Got home opened up got ready too eat the fish wasn't cooked fully the batter was pure soft and the chips were not cooked. This is the place everyone is talking about how good the food is. I wouldn't give it to my dog incase he got sick so gave the whole lot to the birds. If I had eaten that stuff they call cooked food I'd would have got food poisoned.

19/05/2026: The food is great and I love the look of the place inside

05/05/2026: We stopped because we needed a quick meal. We were glad we did. As Americans visiting Ireland for the first time, we can honestly say these burgers and chips (fries) were some of best we've had.

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!

12/04/2026: Great arts centre with lots going

23/02/2026: Beautiful theatre with great seating. I will visit again.

03/01/2026: Lovely home cooking at a fair price. Staff is quick and extremely friendly We love it!

16/12/2025: Very disappointed with hygiene standards Was in Café M in Castlebar recently. Food itself was fine, but the hygiene practices I observed were poor and hard to ignore. I watched food preparers carrying out multiple different tasks while wearing the same gloves throughout — including scratching and then continuing food prep — without changing gloves or washing hands. Gloves are only effective if they’re changed regularly; clean hands are far better than dirty gloves. I don’t blame the staff on the floor — this looks like a training and management issue rather than individuals not caring. However, food hygiene has to be taken seriously, as it directly affects customer safety. I hope management review their procedures and provide better training, as this is easily fixable but very important. Also the coffee had a slightly sour taste. This is common on a machine that needs a little TLC.

22/12/2025: Great service! Delicious food 😉

24/08/2025: Joe is the Michael Jordan of breakfast food. Amazing service, family business vibes. I fully recommend to eat here. Italian approved coffee. What are you waiting to come here for food ❤️❤️❤️

21/04/2026: Had a great time with refreshments (yummy fruit scones)and an hour's bowling. Plenty of space and lovely and warm.

04/01/2026: It's a lovely place, but there was at least 5number games in the arcade that were not working. There were no signs up on the games to say they were broken, it was only when I put the money into the games was when I found out they were broken. There no was no refund on my money, there was no staff checking up on the games to check if they were working and there was no obvious place/signage to/how complain to a staff member. Apart from that everything else was perfect.
