Good restaurants in Westport

dec25532

Staying in Westport for a couple of nights in November and looking for a good, reasonably priced restaurat. Have eaten in the Lemon Peel before and while the food was good, it was outrageously expensive. Maybe things have changed since. I know that there are a couple of Italian restaurants there. What are they like? Any recommendations greatly appreciated.

From italian cousine I can advice "Il Volcano" or "Enoteca"
In il volcano they serve lovely italian style pizzas...
In enoteca you can eat some other kind of italian food.
Last time I had tagliata di manzo - which are marinated beef slices... really tasty.

In both places you'll spend about 20 euros for a meal and glass of wine.

Port Mór is also nice. Eat there in last few weeks and food was lovely. Do a google for the phone number.

Suggestions much appreciated. Googled An Port Mor ad it looks good but I'd say it is quite expensive judging by their website.

where r u staying in Westport?
We're just back from a wedding there,we stayed for 4 nights and i have to say the food in the restaurant in the Westport Plaza was as good as we've had anywhere in the last few years.(and we eat out a lot in Dublin/Wicklow)
Definitely check it out at least once as they have a special on every night i think it might be €25 for 2 courses,it was fab everytime

Staying in Wyatt Hotel in the octagon for a couple of nights and I know the Westport Plaza having stayed there last year. Found the food there at the time as being okay, nothing special, so things must have improved. Thanks for the advice.

I forgot the Plaza, LOVELY food.

They do an early bird in An Port Mor so that might be an option. Then again I am sure they all do early bird
Enjoy ur stay.

The Helm down by the Quay is quite good and fairly reasonable, Port Mor worked out about €50 pp when I was there last and that was with a good bit of wine.
For difference you could try Everest its a Nepalese restuarnt

Have been to both The Helm and Everest both are very good. Have not been to Port Mor yet. Mangos is also very good visit their website for the menu. Good range of food served. I know they do an early bird too. Ring in advance day before or so and find out whats on. The early bird menu changes. Enjoy the break in Westport its a lovely spot.

Thanks for that. Well familiar with Westport but previously it was mainly hotel food and we want to get away from that a bit and sample a couple of the restaurants. All advice good and taken on board.

I love Sol Rio on bridge street. Excellent food and always good service.

i'd second mangos as a recommendation....haven't been there in a while but the food is lovely and its always packed at weekends

Defeats the question but I think the best resturant in the area is Hudsons pantry in Louisburgh , limited menu but 100% all the time .no hit and miss .
In Westport Port Mor is ace and Sage on high st it also excellent, both of these stand out as they are consitent .
A lot of hit and miss with food in Westport ,cocky chefs who serve oven/frozen chips and steam reheated food and charge thru the nose.

The Lemon Peel used to do an early bird menu( 5pm to 7pm )and prices were very reasonable for the high quality of food served.
I think maybe around 25euro per head( or less ).

mangos is very nice, heard only good things about hudsons pantry in louisberg, havnt tried it yet though. quay cottage is also pretty good.

dont forget BT for after the castle, they do a great dysentery-cheese chips which goes down well after a few pints.

One of the best restaurant in Ireland I think...

I ate in Sol Rio a few weeks back. Found it lovelyfood, nice atmosphere and friendly staff and quite reasonable. Steak about 25 and a pasta dish about 15.

Pflano

Not in the centre of Westport, I know, but I just love the Sheebeen. It's well worth the €8 taxi fare from the town. They were Michelin recommended last year and the food is really great. Very reasonable too.
