Aniar in Galway

Aniar is a creative culinary immersion from which you will emerge imprinted and inspired. Truly life changing. A journey through the West of Ireland’s unique flora, fauna, sea and wildlife in 24 courses, you are a traveler held in the welcoming hospitality and generosity of the entire team, chefs and servers alike. Each course is a chapter an epic of the land, each taste its words lovingly woven together into a captivating narrative. Indeed, the meal is like the Seanchaí of old. Like all classic stories, you will traverse the spectrum of emotions while dining, astonished gasps, even tears, and for those of us who have ancestral connections to the West of Ireland, a genetic remembrance of her offerings - to have never tasted something before but to know it intimately. If you are able to, also add the wine pairing to experience unique offerings that enhance and expand each course’s flavors. So as to avoid living life with eternal regret, be sure to pace yourself to allow for full enjoyment of the jewel box desserts - an olfactory ornamentation and sweetness symphony. What a privilege to dine here and experience Ireland’s culinary history and future being written and re-written nightly.

Anair is one of the best restaurants I have visited while traveling. The food was incredible, and the service was excellent and efficient. All of the dishes and decor are from Western Ireland and were very creative. I will be going back the next time I am in Galway.

Fantastic food; taster menu. Well organised and welcoming staff. Chef very friendly and chatted to us. He gave us recommendations for where to eat in next in places we were to visit.

Amazing tasting menu, wonderful cooks and staff.

A truly special meal. Make sure you go hungry - this isn't one of those Michelin star restaurants that you leave feeling you haven't been fully fed. I had been able to put on the booking form that my partner doesn't like fish and her tasting menu was well adapted so that we could have a similar experience without having to go full veggie. We loved the whole experience and felt well looked after, the presentation was fantastic, and the details within the restaurant design were really well considered. The whole meal was around 3.5 hours. Definitely recommend for a memorable evening.

Absolutely incredible experience!! Highly recommend.

The food is fantastic. Surprising dishes, beautiful decor and clear explanations of dishes and drinks. The only downside: they ask for a tip, at least 10%. This is unworthy of such a restaurant.

Once I came in, I could feel the warmth of the staff and the restaurant. I absolutely loved my experience here and it was very memorable. There were 24 unique dishes that covered different elements of cuisine from the western region. I had savory oyster ice cream, along with artichoke foam and delicious bread that came alongside a poem. There were surprises here and there, with the chefs proudly discussing the elements of the dishes. I appreciated hearing about the dishes as it told a story of what went behind each dish. The staff members seemed passionate and were so kind. I look at my pictures and get so happy thinking about how I felt when I tried the dishes. Some were so surprising! The meal ended with a nice touch where they gave me a menu with chamomile seeds embedded within. They told me I could plant it and I plan to. What a great experience! I highly recommend. Everything was delicious and creative. I would go back again. This element was very memorable for my trip to Ireland.

Fuimos aquí por nuestro aniversario, y fue literalmente la mejor experiencia gastronómica que hemos tenido en nuestras vidas. ¡Debo hacer esto!

No importa quién seas o de dónde seas, este es un recuerdo que durará contigo para siempre. Lo que creo que es importante es dejar todas tus experiencias, expectativas, creencias y gustos culinarios en la puerta. Esta es realmente una noche única, con sabores que nunca antes había experimentado y probablemente nunca volverá a hacerlo. Después de todo, cuando obtienes tu primera experiencia corporal de los alimentos, nunca debes "perseguir al dragón", ya que el dragón no puede ser atrapado. Por favor, lea todas las reseñas, ya que es importante escuchar, pero como dije, déjelo todo en la puerta y permita que su ser interno y los receptores internos tengan la oportunidad de soñar con cada sabor e historia alterna!
