It all begins with an idea.

Bistrot 1798 is a small 24 seater restaurant in Castlebar, owned by local French chef Michel Nagy. Michel’s passion for food began at sixteen in the heart of Paris. Since then he has cooked across the world, settling in Ireland to make Castlebar his home.

Bistrot 1798 is a meld of French cooking, Irish cuisine and locally sourced produce.

Bistrot 1798 is the culmination of a dream that now sits on Linenhall Street in Castlebar.
