11 Best Restaurants In Westport (Ye'll LOVE in 2021)
"Located in the heart of the town, the West Bar & Restaurant is one of the best places to eat in Westport for a quick lunch or dinner in the city. I like their version of seafood chowder, while the salmon and mussels are also great options for ordering. Visitors looking for a hearty dish should go for the steak."

The 10 Best Cafes in Westport
"A small venue at the junction of High street in Westport boasting first and foremost, the best coffee in Westport, if not Ireland. This Must Be the Place has a small kitchen knocking out a unique breakfast menu in the morning and a fine-lunch menu in the day, all made to order and locally, seasonally sourced. The hot drinks menu caters for every conceivable dietary requirement with special drinks, matcha espressos, beetroot lattes; if your allergic to oxygen, they’ll probably have the coffee-like-hot-drink for you, but the star of the show remains the impenetrable quality of their straight-up, hand-selected coffee beans and rigorous quality checking."
