A truly delicious and traditional place just outside Galway.
The traditional fish soup is delicious, and the service is friendly and helpful.
Perhaps the best place I've eaten in Ireland.

Lovely.
We had the locally grown oysters, the seafood chowder, and the Moran's house ale.
Very pleased with everything.

I dined here over 20 years ago: what a surprise to see that it's still just as perfect as I remembered! Everything was delicious, from the excellent oysters to the chowder; those who ordered duck were equally happy. The place is still authentic and beautiful, with a view of the lake. The service is precise, punctual, and friendly. Truly a charming place, and it's a pleasure to return to.

Even though they advertise it as "world-famous" and the street is pretty much full of parked cars, you're a guest here, treated to Irish hospitality, and the oysters and drinks are really good and not overpriced.

Lovely spot.
Definitely will be back.
Only thing was I couldn't tip as I hadn't my bank card. Only my phone. Hope they change this.

The food was wonderful and the environment of the restaurant was very enjoyable. We sat outside and enjoyed the weather, with some excellent service from our waitstaff. Highly reccomend the oysters because they were the best I've had in a long time

Had been here before back in 2018 and made it my mission to return. Thankfully we got the last table to end our trip in Galway. If you want great service, atmosphere and of course the freshest seafood around then Moran's is the place.
The crab claw starters were the show stopper for me. Not only the tastiest I've had but the extremely generous portion size was very welcome. Fish and chips perfectly cooked and rounded off with a lovely apple crumble with the works (cream, icecream and custard).
Also location-wise this place stands alone as it is set down a small country lane that runs parallel with the estuary connecting to the ocean. Then you arrive to the beautiful thatched cottage that is Moran's. Swans aplenty too, just to add to the tranquillity. An absolute must visit if your in the area/county/neighbouring counties/any part of Ireland for that matter!!!

I got my times mixed up when arriving but the young manager was very accommodating and soted us with a table by the fire place. Food and service were amazing. Best Oysters in Ireland.
