"If you’re Irish, its fun, if your a tourist, its an experience. The cafe exudes banter, craic and a positive outlook which all stems from the owner himself – Christy. I ordered Boxty (A traditional Irish potato pancake) with Irish rashers (Bacon) when one of the locals jokingly said."

"Out of the two words, ‘Curry’ and ‘Cottage’, it is definitely the word ‘Cottage’ which is closer to describing Curry’s Cottage. A lovely, little cottage style cafe situated on James St, in the heart of Westport. Curry’s Cottage has a created a wonderful and authentic atmosphere which exudes from the wood and stone, bread and even bunting which hangs from the vintage cabinets."

"If not from Ireland, Currys Cottage could be a nice little treat. A lovely little cottage styled cafe which offers a cosy, friendly and warm atmosphere. They have a lovely little menu, an amazing selection of freshly baked bread and cakes and a seating arrangement which makes absolutely no sense, making the whole place feel like your in someone’s kitchen 🙂"
