FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Maddens Bar & Restaurant at the Clew Bay Hotel in Westport, is a shining example of family-owned hospitality, blending tradition with culinary excellence. Owned by the same family for over half a century, their expertise in food is rooted in history as Maria’s parents famously opened the first fish and chip shop here in the town. Maddens offers a diverse menu featuring locally sourced ingredients, with standout dishes including fresh seafood and hearty Irish classics. Whether you’re in for a casual lunch, an evening meal, or just drinks, the welcoming atmosphere and attentive service make it a must-visit. This is the second time I’ve endorsed Maddens and the Clew Bay Hotel in my Top 100 Attractions book, and I’m certain it won’t be the last!
