The best restaurants in Castlebar legal

09/02/2025: Decent and solid wholesome food from this great little Cafe. The cafe has been posthumously named after Tara. If the food is anything to judge by, I would be honoured. The cafe is really busy, so best to come early. And the staff is very friendly and obliging. We tried the smashed avo on toast and the egg and chips. Both really delicious while one more complex than the other. The smashed avo was toast, crispy bacon, spinach and avo with a poached egg, and topped with hollandaise sauce. A fantastic combination and very tasty, with the only small quibble was the hollandaise sauce being the quick cream version, not tangy at all. But I still loved it when on the plate all together. The egg and chips was a no frills, but still tasty meal. The cafe has to deal with small floor space, so seating can be cramped. Also the back of the chairs are a little disconcerting. As they creak if you lean into them and feel like they will break if you put too much weight on them. But this cafe has a cosy friendly feel to it, which is rare to find. I think the staff vibes have transferred into the patrons. This is a great place to eat in a cafe that offers simple and not so simple dishes, but good honest food all around. The dishes have had some though put into them, and you can see they have elevated to make them more appealing / appetising. One such is the max million shortbread offered with the coffee. Sweet and delicious and exceedingly rich. The little touches will make this place a firm contender in the area.

31/01/2025: The Boxty Stack breakfast is sublime, definitely one of the best breakfasts ever. 👍

18/09/2024: There's a saying that dynamite comes in small packages. This is very true for this charming restaurant. I was treated in a very welcoming manner. I watched as each customer was immediately made welcome, even addressed by their name if known. The service was fast and the meal delicious. Usually a Caesar chicken and bacon salad is served too dry for my liking, but this salad had the perfect ratio of salad and dressing. The garlic bread was crispy but not hard. I totally enjoyed every aspect of my visit. Definitely on my 'do again ' list. Thank you Caroline and staff.
