Eating
There is a surprising variety of places to eat in Westport at all ends of the market. The Lemon Peel just off the Octagon (tel 098/26929), has deservedly gained a good reputation locally by imaginatively improvising with traditional ingredients; the cod steak served on a crab mash with a sweet basil sauce is especially recommended. Two restaurants with similar menus are Torinos , through the arch beside Spectrum Video store on Bridge Street (last seating is early at 9.45pm), and Sol Rios , also on Bridge Street, opposite Matt Molloys pub; both serve pasta and pizza dishes. The Quay Cottage (tel 098/26412), in a stone building near the harbour, is the place to go for seafood and also has a fine vegetarian menu, while nearby the Asgard (tel 098/25319) has a delicious bar menu. Antica Roma , on Bridge Street, is highly recommended for cheap pizzas and fish and chips. For coffee, homemade soup or fine sandwiches try Tiley's , opposite the tourist office on James Street. If you're self-catering, you can find some excellent local produce, much of it organic, at the Thursday market at the Octagon.
