Oscars Seafood Bistro in Galway

This restaurant, although not budget friendly is very worth it! It’s intimate and the food is amazing! Fresh seafood and wonderfully balanced flavors.

Nuestro restaurante favorito durante unas vacaciones en Galway. El nivel de la comida y la mezcla de los sabores fue excepcional. El servicio fue genial, amable y muy servicial en explicar su elección de ingredientes. Muy recomendable.

We had ½ dozen oysters Hake and the scallops. Finished with the crème brûlée trio plus 2 glasses of wine and sparkling H2O for two. 117€. The maître's recommendations were very good choices. Music well chosen too.

I had high hopes for this restaurant, and the meal started off well. The fish soup was rich and flavorful, and the mackerel was fresh and well-prepared. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill from there. The main courses were disappointing—lacking the same care and quality as the starters. The scallop dish was over salted and lemon sole which was floured before cooking seemed to be cooked in burnt butter. There was very little choice for gluten-free diners, and to make matters worse, there were no gluten-free desserts on the menu at all. On a positive note, the staff were friendly and attentive, but sadly, that wasn’t enough to make up for the underwhelming meal. Overall, it was not an experience I would repeat.

Honestamente puedo decir que nuestra comida en los Oscar fue una de las mejores que hemos tenido en mucho tiempo. Absolutamente excepcional. El restaurante tenía un ambiente encantador, es acogedor, acogedor y tan amable. Te sientes capullo en calidez y familiaridad. Para empezar elegimos filete de caballa bbq con caja de patatas y chutney de ciruela y gambas silvestres con mantequilla de ajo, gofre de polenta y harrisa, cocinados y presentados por expertos. Para seguir ambos tuvimos merluza con corteza de gremolata y Ajva croata, con guarniciones de patatas asadas al romero y verduras verdes locales, absolutamente perfección en un plato. El servicio fue excepcional, la comida sublime, toda la noche simplemente perfecto. Hay tantos lugares para comer en Galway, sin embargo Oscar’s necesita estar en lo alto de su lista. Muy recomendable.
