The Lighthouse Cafe in Galway

Feels overpriced for what you get. For reference Dublin breakfast spots do the same quality and size portion for less. Similar dishes in Dublin would be in the €8-€10 ballpark in the right spot, whereas it seems like in Galway breakfast spots like this €14+ What the lighthouse charge for their overnight oats and their beans on toast seems rather high. Maybe it’s the rent in Galway but I’ve found this is a common trend for most places. I’m puzzled as to why it’s warranted.

So good! We got the hotpot, the Reuben, Beetroot and Red Lentil Soup, and the Tumeric Chai. All were fantastic!

Really sweet cafe ! A lovely lovely waiter ! Great veggie sandwiches for a nice break from the rain !

Whether you’re a vegan or not, you can have tasty healthy food 🍠 My favourite place to eat in Galway 🫶🏻

Excellent place with delicious vegan and vegatarian food, and mindblowingly good vegan cookies

Very fast service and very tasty food.

Such a lovely place! The staff is friendly and the environment is cozy. I ate a bowl with roasted pumpkin and vegan feta which was epic! I also recommend trying their Masala Chai, absolutely loved it!

We happily stumbled across this lovely little spot on my last full day in Galway. The atmosphere inside was calm and peaceful and the food was absolutely delicious. My brother and his daughter enjoyed a warming soup, my 2 year old niece ate it all up so it must have been delicious! I enjoyed a platter with a variety of different vegetables both cooked and fresh and some yummy rice. Such a lovely place to sit, watch the world go by, and enjoy a nourishing meal made with love with family. Thank you for the lovely service also.  I would recommend Jemi Lighthouse, to all my friends and family, and will come again during my next visit to Galway.

Very cosy, but a bit small, restaurant with tasty vegetarian meals. Hotpot is great.

While the food was tasty, it was ridiculously expensive for what you got. I eat out a lot and found that it was way more expensive than Dublin and the portions were smaller. One of the items ordered was a vegan Ruben. Anywhere else we have ordered this it is full of slices of tofu, seitan (or whatever they are using) this one had 4 miserable slices of tofu and we were told that was what went into it when we mentioned it. The server did get more to be fair but appeared surprised we would question it. If this had been around €10 I wouldn’t have said anything but at almost €15 it was really a joke. The other item we got was the Mexican bowl and while again it was tasty, it was not worth the €17 we paid for it. I understand that restaurants are being squeezed with VAT and rising costs etc but if you’re going to charge those prices the food had better be worth it and, in this case, it fell far short.
