We Two families had dinner on Sunday. Fabulous food and service. Well worth it. Definitely recommend!

L. C.

Lovely friendly staff...relaxed casual dining atmosphere and decor but at fine dining prices! My husband's meal featherblade beef was beautiful and tender but unfortunately both myself and my friends Venison croquet and haunch (the haunch) was extremely tough...also small portion size. Chef's complementary taster at beginning was divine so I was very disappointed with my main meal as flavour and especially texture let it down. Dessert was amazing Date and toffee pudding...also the pear and raspberry mocktails was delicious. Overall we enjoyed our night out with friends but I would definitely be reluctant to return for a meal given the size and toughness of my main dish definitely overpriced. This review is based on my own personal experience.

S. P.

Delicious food and friendly staff! Really impressive and unusual dishes. It was really finest dining experience in a long while. 5 stars from me.

S. D.

Absolutely beautiful food and the staff were so friendly. The menu gives plenty of choice, the staff advised re: order size per person, the decor is very quirky and cool with galvanised walls and up-cycled pallets as couches, the suppliers are all local and the food was delicious (including the salads). Highly recommend.

D. K.

Exceptional. The flavours and options are beyond reproach. Care taken to deliver a special experience that is rarely seen. Was due to eat in hotel, but because of a wedding and lack of attention by staff, I opted to find somewhere else to eat. I'm I glad. I will return and bring others with me. Try the deer- you won't be disappointed.

C. M.

Amazing flavours. As a veggie I'm not used to getting a choice of dishes and the options were all really interesting. I chose the Korma, bao bun and steamed veg- delicious! Best meal I've had in Ireland

D. D.

Food here is absolutely unreal ....hard to get a booking though

N. P.

Excellent food and good portions.

J. C. M.

Some of the food here has been the best I've ever had. The kind of plate you feel privileged to be able to eat, that you lose yourself in. It's not always this good, but it's always excellent. The waiters, too, are lovely and attentive. This place is amazing.

N. J.

Main course was beautiful... but took 50 minutes to get it from when we sit down.

s. t.

Absolutely amazing meal. Staff were unreal. Definitely a 5 star meal

C. A.

Absolutely amazing food, and great service

Great easy to use web site for ordering takeaway food from house of plates. You get restaurant quality food for the price of a takeaway. Packaging is all recyclable. You can book a 15 min slot for when your meal will be ready.

D. R.

Food was fantastic and service also

P. B.

Had such a lovely experience here. Lovely premises, very clean & tidy, nice design. Staff are very friendly and professional. Food is top notch & very reasonable. We had two tapas plates each & two sides between us, as was reccomended by our waitor. We had the tiger prawns, mussels, the goats cheese plate and the deer. All amazing, and plenty of food for two of us. Nice selection of wine and cocktails also. Will be back for sure 😊

M. W.

First time, and the best meal we have had for two years. Quality, choice and service excellent. Will be back soon. And obviously would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. It's not to be missed. Local or tourist. Thank you so much for the experience.

I had found House of Plates while researching for my trip to Ireland this March. I was eager to try it, and my first meal there was yesterday’s Sunday brunch. I was and still remain utterly floored by the quality of the food; the excellent, attentive service; and the atmosphere of the restaurant. I am extremely particular about restaurants, and being vegetarian makes it even more difficult to find top-notch food. However, House of Plates truly exceeded my high expectations. Their Vegetarian Full Irish was not only exceptionally delicious, but easily the most creative version I have even eaten anywhere in many years of living and then vacationing in Ireland. Thank you for running such an ideal establishment. It is rare to find a place that delivers on all fronts—food, service, and ambiance—but you have achieved this and should be highly commended for doing so.

C. T.

Varied menu with lots of choices. We had the trio of sliders, spice fries and steamed bao buns with grilled haloumi, which were all fab. And the sticky toffee pudding with honeycomb was to die for. Reasonably priced and very attentive staff. Worth a visit.

O. O.

Fantastic place we came across passing through castlebar. Great locally sourced produce and excellent combination of flavours. The smoked haddock rich fingers were so tasty. Can tell they really care about their food. Will def be back!

A. F.

This is one of the nicest places I've ever eaten! The food is exceptional. Fresh, tasty and with a healthy twist it really is fantastic. The staff were extremely friendly, polite and helpful and great with the kids. The atmosphere was great and the place is decorated beautifully. Definitely worth a visit. It was so good we drove back another night to eat again despite it being over an hour from where we were staying.

L. C.

This was our first visit to house of plates and wasn't sure what to expect or how it worked. But everything was explained to us. So we picked our 3 each mains and 2 sides which as was told all served at same time. Food was lovely each dish cooked to perfection. Very good atmosphere and decor really nice. So this will not be our only visit and look forward to returning

Went there this evening needed a quick meal as we were down from Dublin visiting somebody in hospital. We had the most amazing food generous portions all our dishes were 100% . Have eaten lots of Tapas in Dublin but House of Plates surpasses them all. Will definitely be back . Staff so welcoming

G. B.

We were offered a table here on cancellation, and boy were we glad we took it! The menu is incredibly extensive. The phrase "Something for everybody" is bandied about a lot these days but it really is true of this place. The staff were fantastic, from start to finish. The only problems i had here were, the choice was too much (I wanted to try everything!), and I ate too much!!! Do yourself a favor and check this place out. Bring a friend. In fact, bring all your friends. The plates are all intended for sharing. It's a really great concept, you get to try a lot of the menu, and really, nothing I tried on the night disappointed - everything was fresh, locally sourced, and incredibly tasty.

S. M.

Fantastic food great experience. Wouldn't order as much next time

N. S.

A tapas style bar in Castlebar. Very tasty food, with a great atmosphere. Would recommend this restaurant to any connoisseur of fine dining. I ordered sea bass, bean burgers and an Indian dish with pine nuts. A large toffee cake was consumed for dessert. All for 36 euro. Excellent service with what looked like a nice wine menu.

M. K.

My favourite local restaurant. Small plates of the most amazing food. The presentation and the flavours are mouth watering. There is so much choice and eating here is an experience not to be missed. Service excellent as usual.

A. H.

Absolutely fabulous food and amazing service definitely recommend going here and we had 3 kids with us and staff were so lovely and helpful, the restaurant is lovely inside aswell

S. C.

Lovely place to eat- different menu.Great choices. Good selection of wines Very reasonable Good service. Will be back.😉

M. C.

Heart and soul into creative cooking. Well thought out combinations of great ingredients. Not just a meal out it's out on its own as dining experiences go. This Chef is a real genuine gem. As good as it gets anywhere and more. Love House of Plates.

R. C.

Excellent menu, tasty food, good service, nice setting. One of the best meals I have had. Highly recommended

G. G.

I wouldn't say is a bad place but it is not a restaurant that I would return. The special fish of the day (monk fish) was disappointed, the steak was ok and the rest of the menu on average of 3 stars.

S. F.

One of the best restaurants I've been to in a while. The food here is exceptional and I found the service to be quick and very friendly. I will definitely be back.

H. S.

A nice place to eat in Castlebar. It's an ever-so-slightly different eating experience in Ireland serving food sort of Tapas-Style, hence the name 'House of Plates. The service was excellent the night three of us ate there and the very knowledgeable waiter explained their 'system' of food service which led to an enjoyable eating experience. The dishes seem quite small but beware, it's easy to order a little too of the wide variety available of very tasty nosh on the menu. There's a few offerings that you might not easily find in most other Irish eating places and the one's we tried were delicious. I'd give a 5 star rating but I'm a beer drinker and the selection wasn't wide but it was quite pricey. (That'd be no distraction to a food connoisseur though) Best to phone first to book a table. The very full restaurant with cheerful banter and smiley faces is testament to the quality of the place. We'll eat there again if we're in Castlebar.

N. R.

The best restaurant in Castlebar Food was superb. Very reasonable price. Great service. I highly recommend it. Noel

t. a.

Splendid food, amazing service. I'd highly recommended the early bird menu. We were stuffed leaving and will certainly be back again.

D. H.

Another fabulous dining experience this evening. Outstanding Monkfish and Mussels dishes but all food was delicious. This is our go to restaurant of choice when we are home in Castlebar from London and it never disappoints. Good luck for the awards on Monday 14th and well done for your casual dining award, your food, ethos and all round service is first class 👍🏻

C. K.

Great Irish pub. Known for the Guinness.

J. G.

Fantastic little restaurant. But don't go in a large group. So the idea is you order a few dishes and share, works well in a small group. So I ordered the meat balls, fantastic taste, but imagine a small bowl of 4-5 meat balls and a table of eight. One of the other members of our party ordered the prawns, that meant half a prawn each. Fantastic food, prices, service just not in large groups, 2 or 4 people Max. Of course you can order 2 of every dish, hindsight. Oh... and they serve craft beers, some really great beers but extremely expensive. A really good night. Second visit, a two person siting this time, was better than the first. Great food, great tastes and because of the smaller group you can over order very easily. but it can be an expensive treat. 3 Jack the lads craft beers comes out at 19.5, but I like them, just wouldn't have them all the time. Can't fault it, but it does work out pricey but at the same time good quality value. NB: The wifey is still Dissapointed as it is "grossly over priced" maybe it depends on what you get, I liked all dishes I ordered, but agree it's an expensive experience.

Very interesting local Nicely decorated. The menu is interesting So... You have three options of land, water, and earth From Dennen you choose a main course (it is rather small). Below is the part with inserts. You should take two so you might still be hungry. Everything is explained nicely. You get bread with homemade dips in advance Food tastes great And it is very well prepared.
