Two long-established, well-loved — and decidedly not fancy — Westport restaurants made big national “best of” news lately.
Coastal Living named Westfair Fish & Chips one of the 22 best “Seafood Dives” in the country.
The magazine raved:
Westfair covers all of the clam chowder bases: New England (white), Manhattan (red), and Rhode Island (clear). This tiny storefront, with just five tables and half a dozen stools at a window counter, hides in a strip mall and caters mostly to nearby residents. Fried clams and fried oysters, both lightly battered, are especially tender and juicy.

Meanwhile, the Delish website picked 1 “Epic Nacho Plate” from every state.
Connecticut’s entry? “Nachos with sausage” from Viva Zapata.

Congratulations to 2 very popular spots. We can always count — if not count calories — on you.

Don’t forget the onion rings… Mmmm-mmm!
Salivating over Viva Zapata’s nachos! Mmmm … !
Good to see some things have not changed since last time we were in Wspt .back in 2002 🙂
Every time I sell a home to someone in Westport or Fairfield I make sure that they know about Westfair Fish and Chip, it is by far the best seafood around. I had one client who loved it so much that every time she had friends or relatives visiting she was sure to include at least one night of Westfair Fish & Chip.
Westfair Fish is the Best it is worth the trip from Norwalk!! Thatks how good it is! My mouth is watering.
*That’s how Good it is! Oops typo sorry
