Nestled down a narrow laneway just off Bridge Street, this charming and intimate restaurant harbors the finest of local produce, exquisitely crafted into one of the best menus in Mayo by owner-chef Frankie Mallon. Daily specials include anything from warm pork-cheek salad and black pudding served with apple and vanilla or pan-seared Clew Bay scallops. Shabby chic decor and a leafy courtyard make it one of the most romantic places in town. Mains priced from €25 to €28.

If the sight of a red double-decker bus parked outside a cottage in the desolately beautiful small island of Inisbofin comes as a surprise, then the delicious offerings at Austin and Kartika's gourmet outpost will floor you completely, in a good way. The bus has retired and functions as the couple's kitchen, dining area, and food counter, serving up pollock, crab, and mackerel sourced from local islander fishermen. Mutton and lamb come straight from the farm, along with root vegetables, while everything else is island grown.

Gaining a steady following from locals and visitors, Misunderstood Heron is serving some of the finest local produce from unlikely quarters---from the back of a food truck. It's usually parked in Killary Loop Trail---and offers guests far more than the standard truck fare like a humble kebab or burger. Instead, expect fresh salmon with pickles, sourdough roast chicken wrap with harissa mayo and red onion, or mussels and lamb to be served with a dollop of good value. And you get to drink in the view overlooking the staggeringly beautiful setting of Killary Fjord. Follow the Misunderstood Heron on social media to keep track of location and hours.

This fourth-generation establishment sits in the heart of Roundstone overlooking the harbor.

This friendly, boho-chic café with its traditional red shop front (rua is Irish for red) is a showcase for fresh, locally produced foods, simply served. There's an imaginative children's menu, and at lunch there are three daily specials—roast meat, fish, and vegetarian—while many opt for the homemade soup and sandwich (served in a traditional soft roll known as a blaa), or a salad. Choose a platter of local farmhouse cheeses, perhaps, or a salad of Achill Island smokehouse salmon with local greens, the house cucumber relish, and a selection of fresh breads.

Overlooking Clew Bay on the outskirts of Westport, this whitewashed, thatched cottage--pub is the stuff of dreams, and so is the food offered by the father-and-son team who own it. The fresh salmon, hake, turbot, or mussels from nearby Rossaveal or the Corrib give the menu a sea-hopping freshness, providing balance to the bolder, more colorful choices, like prawn Laksa. A carefully crafted beer menu is also available.

A town-center shop has been cleverly converted into a stylish, two-story eatery. Beyond the plate-glass windows, there's a welcoming open fire, and you can eat at the bar or at one of the polished wood tables. Exposed stone walls and wooden floors are alluring accents on the quieter second level. The all-day menu also features lighter options like homemade spicy fish cakes and fresh crab salad. There are several meat options, including traditional Irish stew of Connemara lamb and fresh vegetables.

The emphasis is firmly on seafood and fresh local produce at this traditional family-run tavern in the village of Murrisk beneath Croagh Patrick. Hearty portions of Clew Bay seafood, Connemara lamb, and local farmhouse cheeses are served all day, and children can get half portions or order from their own menu. Fishermen arrive regularly with freshly landed langoustines (Norwegian lobster), which are then poached and served in garlic butter. Upstairs a more elaborate à la carte menu ($$$) is served in the evenings in the separate restaurant, with a quieter, candlelit atmosphere.

Ship's wheels, fishing nets, and sculpted stone sharks leave little doubt that the Atlantic's catch takes center stage in this small, whitewashed cottage inn right in the heart of Letterfrack. Stuffed with timber nooks and crannies, and with an open fire, it's the place to warm up after a Connemara coastline hike. While Cleggan crab and Clew Bay oysters are the stars of the menu, steak, chicken, and vegan options such as a wild mushroom linguine with sun-dried tomatoes and pesto make a welcome appearance.

Set in a long, creeper-clad two-story building more than 200 years old, Healy's overlooks the waters of Lough Conn, which calmly lap the reeds on its shoreline. Midway between Castlebar and Ballina (14 km [9 miles] south of the latter), this simple rural retreat was previously a lodging favored by serious anglers, but nowadays is known for its good food and wine. The lounge bar has been converted into an informal restaurant with a heart-stopping lake view, while fishermen can still swap tall tales in the traditional pub in the next room. There is a basic all-day menu of smoked salmon, seafood chowder, fish-and-chips, Irish stew, and other bar food staples, while from 5 pm, the Lobster Pot Restaurant serves a wider à la carte menu. On weekends (Friday–Sunday 5–9 pm) and Sunday lunch the Lough Cullen dining room opens to cope with the crowds.
