Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Achill Island

"Located in the heart of the town, the West Bar & Restaurant is one of the best places to eat in Westport for a quick lunch or dinner in the city. I like their version of seafood chowder, while the salmon and mussels are also great options for ordering. Visitors looking for a hearty dish should go for the steak."
