New Chinese restaurant opens in Castlebar

A NEW Chinese restaurant opened at Newantrim Street, Castlebar, in recent weeks.

It is run by Andy, who operated a similar establishment at Linenhall Street up to some time ago.

The new restaurant and takeway is called Paramount and is based in the former Una's Washeteria premises.

The recent closure of the Welcome Inn Hotel has given Newantrim Street a bit of a forlorn look these days but food related activity appears to be still thriving locally.

Apart from Rua, a high-class eaterie, there are two takeaways on the street as well, of course, as the aforementioned Paramount, which is enjoying a busy trade over the festive period.
