"One of my personal favourites, The Leafy Greens is what I hope is a glimpse into the future. Getting away from frys and paninis, toasted sandwiches and bought in pastries, Leafy Greens offers a healthy, imaginative, very tasty, unique menu. They have (magically) combined healthy meals with taste."

"Only a 5 minute walk from the town centre, Mocha Beans is definitely the spot for a hungry group. A large menu, top notch coffee and a larger premises in general, it would make for a good choice if you have a hungry group of 4 looking for a place to get a nice lunch on a busy Saturday or Sunday. No, it doesn’t have that cosy, Irish vibe you might find in the town, but Mocha Beans is were locals will go for lunch everyday – It’s that kind of place."

Cafe
Mentioned by The Middle Way Hostel
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."

"Out of the two words, ‘Curry’ and ‘Cottage’, it is definitely the word ‘Cottage’ which is closer to describing Curry’s Cottage. A lovely, little cottage style cafe situated on James St, in the heart of Westport. Curry’s Cottage has a created a wonderful and authentic atmosphere which exudes from the wood and stone, bread and even bunting which hangs from the vintage cabinets."

They have a lovely little menu, an amazing selection of freshly baked bread and cakes and a seating arrangement which makes absolutely no sense, making the whole place feel like your in someone’s kitchen 🙂"
