No.8 Tapas Bar — Restaurant in County Mayo

If you're looking for some amazing spanish tapas while in or around Westport, then No.8 on Mill Street is a must. We ate here on a recent trip to Westport, which we made for the Folk and Bluegrass Festival.

Not only is the food to die for, but the service is exceptional.

On top of all that, if you're Coeliac, and need gluten free, then you're in luck. Lots of GF options, and I was assured that they'd be happy to cook anything fried, separately to avoid contamination.

It's going the extra mile that makes the difference to those of us with dietary requirements, and it can't be easy to cater for everyone by any means!

I probably over-ordered, but we took with us what we couldn't finish. Too good to leave behind!

Lovely ambience in the restaurant, great wine too!

10/10 and we're looking forward...

I’m a foodie from Toronto and found this tapas bar absolutely a...

We arrived in Westport fairly late and rang ahead to see if we needed to book a table for around 9pm. We were advised they would normally be winding down but would stay open for us – thank goodness they did. This was probably the best tapas we’ve ever had and the staff could not have been more warm and welcoming if they tried.

Lovely restaurant with a great ambience and the food was in keeping with the rest of our experience. Croquettes and meatballs were e highlights but you could not go wrong...
