I booked last minute for a table for my family (two adults and two young children). On arrival the staff were so lovely and welcomed both us and the kids! They had a high chair ready should we need one. The atmosphere was so friendly and joyful. We never felt under pressure to curtail the kids, but they were surprisingly quiet and well behaved. The staff were all amazing. And the food was next level amazing! Even my two year old daughter who eats very little sat with her eyes closed chewing some pork saying it was “melicious”.
Overall it was an amazing, calm and enjoyable family meal and we will most definitely return ❤️ thank you ❤️❤️❤️

Second time here, both upstairs and downstairs are very recommended. Different flavour combinations then you see in most other places in galway and or ireland.
Very much Recommended

We loved our dinner at Rúibín in Galway. The food was amazing, the water view was perfect, and Aébfhinn was a fantastic server—warm, attentive, and made great recommendations. One of our favorite meals in Ireland!

Wow, Wow, WOW - and perhaps, WOW again!
Didn't have a reservation, we stopped in for a bite late afternoon and sat at the bar for something to eat. Think tapas, think large portions of tapas and think Irish influence. Food was just delicious.
We had foccacia and miso butter with olives to start, followed by crispty artichoke with chedder custard, ham hock and onions - my stand-out favourite dish of the day, short rib, fried chicken and a thai style pork skewer dishes. Next time we'll just do half of that as there was so much food.
Wines available by the glass as well as by the bottle, cocktails and a few beers on draft.
Really chilled out vibe with great food - will definitely be back.

Heerlijke gerechten, zowel vlees, vis als veggi, met heel erg vriendelijke bediening van een jong team. Niet de standaardkeuken maar duidelijk verse en goeie ingrediënten, met veel smaak klaargemaakt. Voor de kids was er keuze tussen vis of kip en hoewel onze jongste een kieskeurige eter is had ook zij alles op, en dat zegt wat! Een aanrader!
