The best restaurants in Westport

07/06/2025: Had a Sorrento vibe. Calamari for starter, cooked perfectly - not chewy. Braised meat ravioli for main- ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Rich but light at the same time. Delish. Tiramisu for dessert-creamy, not too boozy, just my taste. Can't fault the place. Staff were attentive and friendly. 5*

03/06/2025: Wonderful atmosphere, beautiful sauvignon blanc, gorgeous food. Attentive, friendly service with lots of smiles. Thank you from Luisa and Desmond (Desmond Tours)

16/06/2025: There is always a good buzz in Sage. Eva is very welcoming, the staff is attentive, and Shtreyo's cuisine is inventive, offering choice Irish local ingredients prepared with Eastern European flair. Good selection of wines, including their native Bulgarian samplings. Our favourite restaurant in Westport.

29/05/2025: We had a really great meal while on our honeymoon in Westport recently. The menu is varied and very intriguing, with a great selection of vegetarian options which can be hard to come by in Ireland. The dishes were superb, with my particular favourite being the cod main course. The bread, sorbet and petits fours were lovely touches, and the staff were so friendly. Cannot recommend this place enough.

19/06/2025: They didn’t inform us that the kitchen was closing when we arrived at 8:30 PM, and only told us when we ordered dessert. Very poor management and customer service. We had to leave. Also, from the beginning, the staff looked upset. It seems the place is going through a rough time. Good luck for the business and Management

10/06/2025: We thoroughly enjoyed two nights of meals at this cozy little bar restaurant. As newcomers to Westport, we wanted a place to experience some traditional Irish food. Even though we didn’t have a reservation, we were ushered in and took seats at the bar where we waited and visited with some locals. We ended up staying at the bar to eat and we’re provided very good service. I had one of the best burgers I’ve ever tasted at this lovely little place. The next night was not nearly as busy and we immediately were seated at a table. Wait staff was prompt and the food was fresh and well prepared.

17/06/2025: Lovely cosy cafe, great coffee, friendly staff and delicious food. Try the boxty!

13/06/2025: calm atmosphere. Delicious food. The dessert was tender and very pleasant to taste, as well as the chia latte 👍🩷

14/05/2025: Hidden gem in Westport. Highly recommended. Nice place for coffee and cake. Bread is unique. Class place

03/05/2025: Amazing cinnamon rolls! Bread looked great too but didn't try it this time.

23/06/2025: Looking for the best Irish Pub? This is the place!

17/06/2025: I had the misfortune to call into this tavern last Tuesday evening. Comfortably my worst experience during an otherwise enjoyable trip to Westport. The lighting was very welcoming, but sadly the drunken shower of idiots sat to the left as we entered were not so. The group consisted of males of varying ages (and accents), but it was the young men within the group who were completely out of it. The band (who I would put money on will never return) were continually heckled, one of the young chaps (Johnny was his name) was barely able to stand - swaying around attempting to dance - knocking into people - all to the complete disinterest of the staff who continued to serve these individuals liquor. I said to my party upon entry that there would be a table getting knocked over before long - there was an absolute inevitability about it (several people seated nearby were holding drinks to their body rather than putting them on the table, and of course it didn't take long - young Johnny sending a table of drinks flying, with broken glass scattered everywhere. Incidentally the glass was still there as I left after my sole drink. This wasn't just embarrassing - it was dangerous. The band playing in the corner spoke to them on more than one occasion. Is it their job to have to do that? Should that not be down to the bar staff? In fact when the band stopped playing at one point due to this nonsense, I was certain they were going to get up and leave. I could see it. The band could see it. Everyone in the pub could see it. But the staff couldn't? It was only when the table of drinks went flying that a young male member of bar staff with a very poor haircut, intervened, by shepherding the drunkest member of the group out of the door. They ALL should have been leaving (probably a number of hours earlier, truth told). It didn't stop the recently removed young man from wandering back in on more than one occasion, to be met by rambunctious applause from his odious friends. It was also obvious to me that the young bar man tasked with escorting this young drunkard out of the pub seemed to find the entire situation amusing. Grinning like a Cheshire cat, he was. A Cheshire cat with an unforgivably appalling haircut, that would be. Perhaps you pay for what you get. Young bar staff may be cheap, but a couple of middle aged lads with a bit of presence about them and life experience, is absolutely the way to go. But the tourists will still flood in regardless, so who cares, eh? Until someone gets a broken shard of glass in the eye, or similar .. A horrendous experience from start to finish, and if any of the group involved read these comments, I hope in particular the older members in attendance (of which there were a couple) are suitably ashamed, in their sobriety. You should have been keeping these kids in check, not acting as cheerleaders and guffawing like donkeys at their cringeworthy behaviour. And as for the staff... Do yourself a favour if you are ever in Westport, do as Dione Warwick would surely advise, and 'walk on by'.

30/06/2025: So good ! Food was amazing and the room was fab ! Would definitely reccomned

25/06/2025: Recently visited as a group of 17 colleagues. An excellent stay! The apartments are clean, very well equipped and comfortable. Possibly the comfiest bed & pillows I've ever slept on after my own. The food is excellent. Great choices on the menu and the portions are very generous. The atmosphere is calm and friendly. The staff make it. You can tell they love and are proud of their place of work and enjoy being there. This makes all the difference. The cost of the rooms per person, per night with a great breakfast included is an absolute steal. Excellent location on the quay and a 5 minute taxi journey into beautiful, lively Westport. Can't wait to come back.

05/07/2025: Nice pizzas, very fresh, good quality ingredients! Apart from the ham that was on the Hawaiian, seemed a bit fatty for my liking, so left that off! So the pizza's come on a large chopping board with paper underneath the pizza! Really didn't like the paper as I think when I was cutting the pizza, I was also eating the paper! So I would definitely ask not to have any paper underneath the pizza! Other than that, nice pizza's, nice staff, lovely and warm with a nice atmosphere! We will return again!

05/07/2025: Most amazing Pizza and very friendly service. Really cozy atmosphere

02/07/2025: This place is so cute. The kid friendliness was so great. The food was also amazing. I got the pancakes and they were so thick and fluffy! I do recommend

26/06/2025: We landed into The Creel right at the peak of lunchtime madness, fully expecting to be turned away or told to perch on a bench and pray. But no — the lovely waitress worked some kind of hospitality magic and squeezed us in. Saints in aprons, the whole lot of them. Every single staff member we encountered was absolutely lovely, with top-tier customer service and smiles so genuine I nearly cried into my napkin. Now, my friend came carb-loading for her gym session later that day, her bold shoulders graciously disguised under a classic pump cover. She absolutely demolished her food with grace and gusto while I waffled on about my life updates. So attentive was she to both her plate and my rambles, I nearly applauded. She even got a coffee with her meal AND for the road — that’s how good it was. As for me? I took a bold culinary risk and went for the Chicken Parmigiana, a dish I’d usually sidestep because tomatoes, in my view, are often just flung at food with reckless abandon. But I was wrong. So wrong. It was divine — balanced, comforting, and just what I didn’t know I needed. Life’s about risks, and this one paid off like a scratch card in Lidl. The chips? Beautifully crispy. The side salad? Actually seasoned and dressed, which tells you the kitchen really cares. (Speaking of dressing — unlike my friend who whipped off her pump cover mid-meal to flash the guns. We love confidence and chlorophyll.) The location is a solid 10/10 — you're a stone’s throw from Westport House, perfect for walking off your meal and your emotional baggage. And to top it off, I washed mine down with a gorgeous Irish-made pink lemonade that made me feel like I had my life together. Prices? More than reasonable for the quality you’re getting. Verdict? Go. Run, don’t walk. Maybe even do a bicep curl on the way.

22/06/2025: Delicious food and excellent service! Would definitely recommend! Such a beautiful setting and staff are so accommodating and helpful! Will 100 per cent be back next time we are in Westport!

18/06/2025: This place has great food and is super chill. Tom is super friendly and relaxed. It’s just a cool place to hang out and make friends.

18/06/2025: A great gem of a restaurant tucked down a back alley. We had a really wonderful meal — I had the lobster salad and then the seared scallops and my husband had the duck; all were delicious and perfectly prepared. The service was friendly and efficient (but we never felt rushed). Would also recommend the caramelized lemon tart!

16/06/2025: Very special experience-beautiful food, friendly staff and fantastic atmosphere. A must visit in Westport!

14/06/2025: Tuesday night with the music and crack is a must

11/06/2025: just a great Irish pub. nothing else needs to be said.

08/06/2025: I was luckily able to get a table for two as a walk-in on a Saturday evening. We shared mussels as an appetizer, they were perfect. I had the grilled monkfish with shrimp, mussels, and calamari. It was fantastic!

01/06/2025: Poor service but delicious Bruschetta and steak

21/06/2025: Stopped here for some food and drink, both were nice, however !! The desert arrived before the main…. And the bill arrived before that…. Then while in the middle of eating we were asked if we wanted to pay ?? This was happening at a few tables… if I didn’t know better I would think they were trying to g to hurry us up to leave ! Either pay when you order or pay when you finish is the norm.

23/05/2025: With the Group of twenty seven guests we enjoyed our stay very much. The location at the local marketplace and within walking distance to beautiful shops pubs and restaurants is excellent. The interior is very stylish in an old-fashioned style, totally fitting environment.

21/06/2025: We had a party of 7 with no reservation and they were so accommodating. Server was very friendly and fun. The best meal that we’ve had this week!

11/06/2025: A must do in Westport. Incredible service.
