Ruibin in Galway

Amazing atmosphere Very friendly staff

Just exceptional. Had no expectations walking in and came out having had one of the best meals of our lives. Drinks, oysters, Bavette, dumplings, gnudi world class. Will remember this meal for a long, long time.

Came for lunch awhile back, still thinking about the miso ice cream and brownie we got for dessert 🤤

Stopped in for oysters and drinks. Ended up having apps too. Extremely good.

We had dinner at this wonderful restaurant today. I am usually very critical when it comes to food, but this place is a real find. The staff were very attentive and responsive. The food we ordered was amazing—the miso ice cream was out of this world. The dumplings, ceviche, duck, and fish were all delicious. I will definitely be back and will recommend it to others. A special thank you to Chef Matthew for taking the time to speak with us. Bravo to the entire Rúibín team 👍✨

I really liked it, I would recommend it to everyone. The food is very delicious, the service is wonderful, the selection of drinks is large. The atmosphere is suitable for a romantic evening. I will definitely come back again.

Wonderful place. Great atmosphere and service. Highly recommend.

The best seafood chowder I’ve ever had 👌👌👌

Fabulous food! Start with fish chowder. It’s rich and slightly buttery and absolutely loaded with seafood. It’s served with a generous slice of treacle bread. Everyone at the table loved their food and each was very reluctant to share. Exemplary service. Professional, friendly, excellent timing. We were a party of 6 adults with 3 children and staff were kind and understanding about seating and service. The space is comfortable and welcoming. And menu is inventive yet highlights local offerings. This was a memorable experience and I look forward to returning.

The rating of 4.8 (as of Sept 2026) is absolutely justified. The staff were very flexible when we asked for a different table. The service is generally of a very high standard and perfectly complements the excellent food. The Rioja (Tempranillo) was superb, even though at €70 it's on the pricier side. If you order a starter and main course, you might leave the restaurant feeling a bit hungry (or very diet-conscious) without additional side dishes. However, the food is absolutely delicious and of Michelin-star quality! The only downside to the rating was a few very, very loud guests who seemed to burst into uproarious laughter/cheers every minute at some funny comment… If you manage to get a window seat, you can also enjoy the action of the rotating cargo ships in the harbor outside 😉
