Discovering the House of Plates in Castlebar

So, I recently strolled into this charming spot called House of Plates, tucked away on Upper Chapel St in Castlebar. Now, I hadn’t heard much about it, but boy, what a gem! The place has racked up an impressive 527 reviews, with a score of 4.7 out of 5. That’s gotta mean something, right?

As soon as I walked in, the vibe hit me—super casual, yet cozy. Kind of like hanging out at a friend’s house, but with far better food. The decor, filled with upcycled furniture, gives it a funky, laid-back feel. You won’t find the standard fare here; it’s all about sharing those little plates of yumminess.

And speaking of plates, the food is, as so many folks have said, just fabulous. You can sample a bunch of flavors rather than committing to a single dish. I heard mussels are a must-try—the buzz around them is real! A lot of reviews rave about how varied and tasty the menus are, which is probably why the excitement is palpable.

Now, here’s the kicker: it’s not always an easy feat to snag a table, particularly at busy times. Reservations are recommended, especially if you’re heading out with a larger group. I mean, who wants to be left out in the cold?

On my visit, I noticed they serve everything from brunch to dinner but only open for a few hours on weekends. It’s like a cozy dinner party in there! The staff? Friendly and attentive, making sure you feel right at home.

I did hear whispers about drinks being pricey. Apparently, the craft beers are top-notch, but your wallet might feel a pinch! However, if you’re after a unique dining experience, there’s something special about sharing those small plates with friends and family.

To top it off, they’ve got some accessible amenities, so everyone can enjoy the experience. If you’re wandering through Castlebar, I’d say give this place a shot. Who knows? You might just find your new favorite hangout.
