Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Westport

"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."

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."
