Sol Rio Restaurant
Review
Sol Rio, here in Westport, is a testament to culinary excellence and heartfelt passion. Established by Jose Barroso and his late wife, Sinead, it embodies their shared dream of creating a standout dining experience in Sinead’s hometown of Westport. Today, it remains one of the town's most beloved and enduring restaurants. Jose’s culinary skills are nothing short of extraordinary, showcasing his Portuguese heritage with a masterful Irish twist. The menu celebrates the finest local produce, featuring suppliers like Croagh Patrick Seafood, Garvin’s Seafood, and Milestone, Andarl Farm. Each dish is a harmonious blend of freshness and innovation, offering flavours that linger long after the meal. A family affair, Jose is now joined by his son Evan, who is embracing his Irish-Portuguese roots while learning the craft under his father’s dedicated guidance. Their dedication, paired with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, ensures Sol Rio remains a jewel in Westport’s culinary crown.
