Rouge in Galway

After more than 10 years in Galway, Rouge remains my go-to for an exceptional meal and a true taste of France in Ireland. The starters are wonderfully original—four different tasting bites perfect for sharing with friends. I typically order the fillet with gratin dauphinois, and it's always a delight. The wine selection consistently impresses, and I usually go with the owner's recommendations. They really know their wines. For dessert, the chocolate dome is an absolute must-try! It's also the perfect spot for a romantic evening in a wonderful atmosphere. The staff are attentive, friendly, and genuinely joyful. I can even speak French with some of them, which is a lovely touch! The price point is honestly very reasonable for Galway, especially considering it includes a full three-course meal of exceptional quality.

What a fabulous place. Food service and general atmosphere A must for any foodies.

Absolutely fabulous food and lovely atmosphere 😀

Lovely food. Service i sa bit slow.

Super venue with exceptional staff and excellent food and wine. We cannot praise Fabienne & Laurent and their staff enough, five stars does not seem enough for the wonderful night they gave us. We were looking for an intimate venue to celebrate our wedding and we really could not have found anywhere nicer. From our initial meeting with Fabienne to the actual night it was so fantastic and it was everything and more that we could have wished for. Big thanks to Ariadna who looked after everything on the night and made sure it all ran so smoothly with the rest of her great team Louane, Manon, and Nolwenn to name but a few. The restaurant itself is so full of character and has a lovely ambience, Laurent ensured I had plenty of fairy lights on the night plus we had Jerry providing the entertainment who is one of their resident musicians, he was great and kept the music and sing song flowing. The food was exceptional and topped with the great selection of wines, cocktails and beers we had a night we will remember for a long time. Thanks again to the amazing team at Rouge. Looking forward to seeing you all soon again. Sharon & William.

That was my first experience of French cuisine. First of all, the restaurant was very nicely designed, and the staff were really friendly. This time, there wasn’t a typical menu; they only had a Christmas menu, which included a starter, selected main dishes, and a selected dessert. I really didn’t like the starter. The main dish was nice — I ordered fillet beef — but there was nothing served with it, and the portion size was not enough at all. Considering that it was food from another cuisine, the price was acceptable. But in general that was expensive.The dessert was nice.

Lovely place. Great staff and great food !

Fantastic restaurant - I was there on Sat night with a party of 8 - we really had a great time - the waitresses were French and warm and friendly, service was excellent, menu was simple, wine was recommended and lovely, food fantastic, guy playing the piano was lovely, atmosphere was upbeat and lively - and the value was remarkable - we regretted afterwards not leaving a bigger tip - sorry - such was our satisfaction with the night. Thank you Rouge for looking after us so well. we will be back.

If you come to Galway you have to eat here.

A taste of France in the heart of Galway 🌟 They use Irish beef 🥩- incredible steak! I went for the blue cheese sauce 🧀 and it was so rich and creamy. The portion of chips 🍟 is HUGE! Also the amuse bouche had a range of tasty treats like battered courgette pieces and potato croquettes 😋
