Fantastic house undergoing restoration at the end of the Summer 25 season. The guided talk is well worth it, giving a good background to all the characters and the history. You can just turn up and self guide round the 3 floors, but they allow you time to explore for yourself both before and after the talk as well.

Westport House is a beautiful country house with an extremely interesting history. Guide Fionn is excellent when it comes to present its former owners and introduce you to the special rooms of the house. You should also stroll through the garden. Would highly recommend a visit (house might be under renovation for two years from now on!)

Just happened upon a tour and the ladies in the building were incredible. I had a question about an Ice House building and they went out of their way to get me an answer. Breda, Delores and Catherine are nuggets Thank you for a terrific tour and your kindness

This is not a hotel. This house was built in the 1600s and remained in the family until the 1960s and then saved the house from destruction by allowing the public to visit. The family history is fascinating and well worth the visit. It is surrounded by 300 acres of woodlands on the edge of Westport, a beautiful town. 😍

A nice place for a family outing. The house and it's dungeons are nice and provide a look into the life of the affluent in the olden days. The activities on the estate seem to be nice. One thing to note is that till the end of June, there are no activities (Westport house adventure) open to the public on weekdays. Access to public for the activities part of the estate is only on weekends during school term time. During the summer school holidays, it's open all days of the week.

Our initial room was too small but they immediately moved us to a more spacious one, we were very happy! Great hotel, beautiful and the reception ladies were very helpful. Easy access to the lovely main Street and town. Great pubs and delicious food!! 🍀

Wonderful view into a historic family private home. It's being renovated at the moment but it's amazing to see the house and it's rooms full of history. Really enjoyed it. Expect to be there for about an hour. You can take a tour or look around yourself.

The guide, Ed and his Irish Wolfhound Coo was excellent. He was able to give us all lots of information about the foundation of the town and of the famous and infamous characters who contributed to the growth of the town. Some tasty morsels from ice-cream and coffee houses was a tasty addition to the walking tour.

Steven was wonderful! He explained everything about Westport and showed us the landmarks. It was a great day. He was very funny which added to a beautiful town in Ireland. It’s definitely worth the visit. I highly recommend this walking tour. I also recommend arriving early if you are parking.

My husband and I had an extremely entertaining and knowledgeable tour, and lots of fun with our tour guide, Stephen. We learned so much about the history of Westport as well as the current community - remarkably collaborative and wonderfully Eco-conscience. I highly recommend this tour!

This walking tour was a delight - informative, fun, well-timed. Our guide was excellent and really helped us get a better understanding of the history of the area. All with a great sense of humor!

Great tour, with history, Irish wit and tips for local music, food n pubs, so much fun!

Brilliant! Well worth doing. Lovely to hear the history of the beautiful Westport. Book now 😊

Great show with Sean Keane. Lovely friendly theatre

We came for the nightly session but didn't know they don't start till around 21.00. glad we got there about 19.30 so we got a seat next to the musician corner but people in there were so rude. Talking through when clearly says in that area it's for listening and people taking photos and videos up close with flash on - not cool. Then others complained it was busy - cause what you came for so did everyone else. So absolutely recommend for live traditional session music but don't come if you want to ignore that and want to talk to your mates and don't like crowds. If you get trad music sessions then this is the place in Westport! Drinks were the best price compared to others on the main road. I am uploading videos that were taken without flash as it should! Also please don't come in and sit at the musician corner at 20.45 and then be annoyed that you have to move - there are signs and the musicians don't rock up till after 21.00(I went on a Monday)

Had a lovely time in this lovely old worldy irish pub 😀 the staff were lovely and welcoming 🙏 the beers were excellent 😀 and the Guinness was fantastic 😀 👍 had a great time and the locals were lovely loved it 😀10/10

We went for the music. We were not disappointed. It was absolutely packed & I can see why. Fabulous place. The band were truly amazing & very strongly supported by young & old a like.

Nice bar, unfortunately the entertainment was out the back in a separate room and a cover charge.

Got to sing “Northwest Passage” here with the band. My girlfriend then also played the fiddle alongside them. Never felt more proud to be Canadian and it happened all the way in Ireland.

Went for a pint around 7pm, and had such a great time with many conversations we ended up staying till music started at 930. Stayed til 11:30. Good pints and atmosphere. Great crowd of locals and tourists.

We had to try a Guinness at the most famous pub in Westport. Great atmosphere and friendly people. Highly recommend for a taste of traditional Irish pub culture.

Had booked a table for 2 in the evening and had a great experience, wide variety of starters, mains and desserts all of which sounded amazing with an extensive drinks menu to compliment. All front of house was attentive, relaxed, professional and charming. The chefs know what they are doing without a doubt, wonderful detailed food with little wait time!! Have eaten in most restaurants in Westport and this is the first to make us feel like we were on holiday again in our own town. Will be back!!

Food, service & setting were all top notch. For a group of 11, we were seated upstairs in our own room which was perfect. Our total bill came to just over 900e. Everyone was delighted with their food & the wine was tasty too. The downstairs seems to seat smaller groups but upstairs is perfect for a group of 10-12.

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!

Really enjoyed the atmosphere in this restaurant and the staff were really friendly. However, I did expect more from the food. The dessert was good but I found my fish main to be lacking in flavour sadly.

Excellent, well priced menu. It is a step above in its flavours and taste. Food is lovely and interesting.

Amazing dinner. Would definitely go back again and again. Pricey but worth it. Smoked mackerel was a star.

Fabulous food and great service staff excellent highly recommend this restaurant

This mustn't be the place. It's changed. I've been here a few times over the years and it's usually been a great vibe with happy staff. Today, I thought I'd treat myself to a rare bought coffee to support local businesses, and the woman serving me was clearly having a bad day at best, and it felt very much like she couldn't care less whether she sold another coffee in her life. Barely even spoke to me. I hope it was just a bad day and that she had a better day tomorrow. At least the coffee was quite nice for the price. But as someone who doesn't get to go out and connect wtlith people very often it was a pretty disappointing experience.

Great spot. Friendly staff. Central. Lovely selection of homemade cakes & pastries. What's not to like...!

Had this ham and cheese toastie. It was okay. Overpriced over 10 euros, but that's Westport for you. I think it missed like a homemade sauce. Unfortunately. The coffee was great. Esp the matcha. The staff was wonderful and very friendly. The food menu was right above me, so I had to stand up and look at it. Which it kinda awkward... I would go back again and try something else in the future.

Was in with mum, coffee was gorgeous!! Immediately when you enter out of the rain, the cafe's vibe was warm, cosy and super relaxing and always appreciated the attention to detail at every corner! The perfect spot for lunch or coffee in Westport.

Excellent food. The French onion soup was sublime. The special was a lamb kebab and it was exceptionally nice! Coffee was sublime and we were provided with top service. I will visit this café every time I'm in Westport.

My favorite cafe in Westport! The food, baked goods by the renowned local baker Anne, and the coffee can’t be beat. The service is super friendly and efficient. I highly recommend the poached eggs with wild mushrooms served on incredibly delicious brown bread. The berry crumbles are the best I have ever had. The brownies are pure decadence.

Every time we come it’s perfect! The place is chill and bakery and coffee are very good 🥰

You will feel at home, but with an awesome kitchen. The hosts are kind, friendly and love to give you all the information you want. Besides the lovely food, they have a banger of a wine list! Please try the Slovenian wine.

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.

Absolute creative and best fresh food I’ve had in Ireland 🇮🇪 100% recommend.

My daughter and I visited Sage late April and I can't stop thinking about what a great experience it was. She is vegetarian and they had great options for her. Everything we ordered was delicious. The surprise relish tray and palette cleansing sorbet and sweet nibble after desert were nice unexpected treats. The wine selection was nice, our waiter helped us pick one that we both enjoyed. I am looking forward to returning!

Had an amazing meal in Sage. We hadn’t been in so long and surprised to see change of ownership. We were not disappointed. Food is still excellent. All 4 in our party went off the daily specials board. Food was exceptional. The seafood platter and fish cake starters were excellent. Good selection of wines also. When in Westport it’s a must go!!

Gem of a restaurant in Westport. One thing that was missing from most of the reviews I read, and something that makes this place even more of a special find is that it a family run business, and despite that they have been there for 12 years, it still has that family feeling to it. My dinner was exceptional. I started with the local kilarny oysters which were garnished with caviar. Easy to eat and nicely presented. For the main I went with the seafood linguine, which more than scratched my itch for a pasta meal while still being able to enjoy the local seafood. All in all, this is a must if you stop by Westport. I hope my journeys take me back again so I can explore more of their menu.

One of the best restaurants I've ever had a meal in. Not to be missed

Cannot recommend this place more. I had the nicest experience with Ezio here. I had enquired if they did any gluten free options, and he went above and beyond to make me feel really cared for during the whole dining experience. They could offer the majority of the menu as gluten free and he was so incredibly sweet, going through the whole menu with me. Cannot recommend this place more. Beautiful food, really gorgeous restaurant - the atmosphere, the decor, the staff, all 10/10. Bravo Ezio! 👏 xx

Life is Good and Enzio will treat you well. Sicilian born came over her to fill Irish bellies with good old fashioned food. The food, service and atmosphere was fantastic. Hubby was a little upset I didn't try an actual Italian dish, but that was my fault really. As I was seduced by the 17oz Tbone steak. Very tasty and huge. A real treat which I enjoyed thoroughly. Wifey had a better idea, when in Rome, you try the Ravioli with slow braised meat. Damn hubby was jealous... I dream of the carbonara or the meat balls or even the seafood plates. Wifey ravioli was so smooth with creamy tomato sauce. Absolutely delicious. Either way Hubby and Wifey highly recommend visiting. Sadly tucked away in plain sight so you must keep an eye out and eat here. The only negative is the place only accepts cash. Not a major issue, but in this day an age it's hard to remember to actually bring money. Of course cash machines are nearby... But worth it. The other slight negative is that the restaurant is built in an old Irish home. As I visited the gents, a few of the ceilings and narrow hallways weren't designed the taller man. Enzio is such a character. Friendly and wants to make a good impression. From taking the time to talk and pronounce his name for you, spelling it out. Wifey really like him. As he prepared a small wine tasting to make sure she order the right bottle for her. Her new favorite person. Afterwards... Completey stuffed. We had to try the tiramisu. Alcohol free, but still packed with flavours. Out of all Italian restaurants out of Castlebar and Westport this place rates in our top three. The food here is great and we will be back. Will have to come very hungry so we have have a lot of dishes.

Absolutely wonderful food, atmosphere and service. Ezio looked after us from start to finish and we were made to feel very welcome. We will be back!

Loved this restaurant! The food was top notch and with big portions. Staff were friendly and there’s atmosphere was relaxed.

Absolutely stunning food! Service impeccable and so so friendly! Highly recommended x

Absolutely Amazing 👌 some of the best food I've ever eaten. The service and location were also perfect. Just book

Stopped in and the owner / manager (maybe?) was very rude and not kid friendly. Pretentious is probably the best word to describe him. Definitely not welcoming or warm as you would expect from fine restaurants across Ireland. We left before things went any further and were welcomed across the street at an even nicer restaurant, Sage.

Stopped in here for dinner on a Monday night. We ordered two appetizers and an entree for the 3 of us to share. The mussels were very good. My son did not share the calamari so I assume it was good. The duck breast was also tasty with the fig sauce and mashed potatoes. The best part was the strawberry pavlova. Oh! They also gave us complementary bread and hummus which was delightful.

Great atmosphere, very delicious food. We got the duck leg, duck breast, fried chicken and pappardelle pasta. All were amazing, they even remade the orange sauce for the duck leg for me, because of an allergen. We got a free bread and hummus for starter and a complimentary jelly after the desert and coffee. Got some great recommendations of wine for our mains. Had a really lovely time altogether! Thanks to all and especially to George!

Amazing and delicious dinner. We walked in without reservations about 30 min after they opened and were promptly seated. If you eat dinner later you may need a reservation. Don’t skip the dessert, it was perfect

After visits in Dublin, Killarney, Galway and Now Westport this was the best meal we’ve had on our visit to Ireland. The staff are welcoming and they did a great job with recommendations and explaining the care put into preparing each meal. Six of us absolutely loved it.

If you like exceptional food and brilliant service then Please don't forget to visit this place. Great atmosphere and really unbelievable food. Just look at how many truffle slices they use on the pork chop, delicious 😋 . I'm in heaven! 😇

We stopped by Westport and on a whim tried Friends restaurant. We are so glad we did. It was some of the best food we've had in all of Ireland. Owner George is kind, genuine, friendly, and hilarious. He treats everyone in the restaurant like a good friend. While waiting for our order, we heard several customers telling George compliments about how the steak was some of the best they ever had, or that their meals were absolutely fantastic. Once we got our food, we immediately understood why. Delicious food, top-notch hospitality, and good vibes all around. Thank you for a wonderful culinary experience!

I travel a lot for work, all over the UK, Ireland and the rest of the world on occasion. So I get to sample a lot of great restaurants. The meal my mother and I had here was by far the finest meal I have had in a very long time. Half the price and twice as good, both in the food itself and the wonderful service as a great meal we had in Dublin. Perfectly pitched. Highly recommended to foodies. We even considered going back the following night but travel plans meant this wasn't possible. Will be back! The owner of the restaurant made it extra special, after a discussion about a particular chickpea and parsley fritta that sounded delicious he popped off and made us some to sample for free! Above and beyond. They were melt in your mouth spectacular!

Great pub/restaurant in Westport. The location is super nice, very characteristic. Staff is very nice and welcoming. Service is fast, we didn't wait long before our food arrived. Dishes were very well cooked and quality of the food was great. We were very satisfied with our dinner and price were reasonable.

What a spot! Visited with my brother and his wife mid September. We booked in for dinner in the upstairs area. When we arrived the place was all a buzz. There was a live band playing. We went upstairs for our food. We were seated in booth style seating. But instead of being squashed in on banquette seating, we were sat on regular comfortable chairs at a nice wide table and there was plenty of room for everyone. The food was amazing. Everything was so delicious and presented beautifully. We shared three starters between us, then had our own mains. For starters we had a terrine(can't remember what kind, but was excellent), scallops on black pudding(perfectly cooked scallops, delicious) and prawns in a mouth watering chilli sauce(this was the star of the show). We asked for a spoon to finish the chilli sauce. Then for mains I had a huge pot of muscles and the others both had fish pie. My muscles where very plentiful and delicious. The others throughly enjoy their pies. Oh we also had a side of parmesan fries, yum yum. The staff were very attentive and efficient. Big shout out to Elisha amazing. We were too full for sweet so headed down stairs for drinks and to listen to the music. Fantastic night.

Lovely restaurant in Westport. Staff were nice though very busy! Low light, classic moody pub atmosphere. Classic Irish / pub music. Nice lighting and decor made it even better atmosphere. Food was very good - kids menu had mac n cheese for our 5yr old. We had chicken burger and tuna melt- both very good. Beer tasty as usual. Highly recommend.

The pub has a very good atmosphere, it’s very well decorated with lot of character and had live music on the ground floor. Then we booked for diner on the 2nd floor. Food was very tasty and not too expensive taking into consideration that was fresh fish. I had the seafood pie and was really good. Highly recommended.

Excellent food, we didn’t have to wait long and it was reasonably priced. The staff were wonderful, very friendly and welcoming. Lovely authentic Irish pub/restaurant. I definitely recommend calling in for a drink and abit of food.

Food was good and plentiful but man is it filling!! Barely had any of my Sheppard pie but the mussels were excellent. Don't order the fries as they come in gigantic portions!!

One of our favorite meals in Ireland! Staff was super friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious! We sat upstairs so it was more dimly lit and private but the downstairs was more of your typical pub atmosphere.
