Busker Brownes in Galway

01/11/2024: Very nice and partially informal environment. The restaurant is upstairs of a pub. Menu in line with other typical restaurants but the dishes are made with care. The fried calamari was excellent. Not at all chewy and the panko breading perfectly crunchy and not greasy. The ribeye steak cooked perfectly. The only partial flaw is the sensation that the mashed potatoes are made with an immersion blender because there are no pieces of potato and the consistency suggests excessive starch breakdown. Good wine list and excellent choice of beers and whiskeys.

01/11/2024: Lovely setting with nice buzzing atmosphere. The maître d' was a bit stuffy but the waiting staff were fab. Had steaks and duck. My husband's steak was too rare for medium, however my daughters was good. I like that the cost includes sides, and they were generous. I had the half duck that was very tasty but would have been even nicer if the skin had been rendered more and made more crispy. We had a lovely time.
