The best restaurants in Castlebar legal

09/05/2026: Absolutely fabulous food, even better then meals I had in Rome. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Good size portions too. I had the ravioli and it was simply divine, my husband had the carbonara and garlic bread and he said it was lovely. We will definitely go back when in castlebar, I just wished I had room for dessert.

12/04/2026: Honestly one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Very lovely and attentive staff, catering to our every need and request. Food was delicious and atmosphere was great!

10/05/2026: One of the best food places around!

09/05/2026: Super restaurant with extensive menu which was all beautifully cooked. Definitely worth a visit.

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 !

28/04/2026: Amazing food and lovely staff. Defo a special place to eat

20/03/2026: It's rare I write reviews but I had to on this occasion given how amazing everything was there last night at the house of plates. Went to house of plates last night for my birthday for a 3 course meal and I cannot praise the food and service enough. 10/10 experience. The food and flavours were sensational just mouth watering. The service was amazing and professional and friendly and there were no time delays with any of the dishes. Also loved the little complimentary starters that were given before our own starters came such as the bread with the beautiful oil and balsamic vinegar. Also the presentation of each dish was beautiful and thoughtfully put together. Thanks for an amazing experience we will be back <3 Páraic and Laura

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.

12/05/2026: Great atmosphere, food and truly amazing staff, highly recommended!

30/04/2026: Very nice overall and always good food for a reasonable price the only things I think they can improve on are the chips are always scorching hot and impossible to eat for a while after arriving (You would actually need to leave them until you've nearly finished eating the rest before you can eat them), also the mens bathroom could be improved, currently they have a long trough instead of urinals but I think urinals are a lot nicer for a fancy restaurant. The issues are minor and won't affect me visiting in future as I have many times in the past

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

14/03/2026: Owners a great guy, same with staff. Had a great time

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.

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

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!

31/01/2026: This is were all the cool kids go... of course I noticed it was the kids of the 90s. The best generation, But still cool nonetheless. A great bar with some great cool hide away tables. This allows for decent chats and socialising, not provided by Bridge St, you have to bring your own. Normally Irish bars have live bands, no shade as the kids say. But sometimes you want a bar with a great selection of drinks and to be able to speak to the people on your table. This is the place. Staff are friendly and intuitive, not leaving you thirsty. Also there is a great outdoor area which allows for eating. There is even a food truck that parks right up to the outside tables. So there isn't much of a walk for a take away pint and meal. Also if you prefer other takeaway places, they all say that you can eat their food there too. The outside place is sheltered, but I wouldn't like to test it during a downpour.

06/12/2025: Great pub, friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere.

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.

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 ❤️❤️❤️
