Trieste Café & Wine Bar in Galway

Book early!! Only 5 tables but worth the visit. The place is so cozy with authentic Italian charm. Friendly owner. Boards were excellent and don’t get me started with the wine. I would come back.

A truly special place. We came in after the kitchen was closed but Barry made us feel right at home and made us a beautiful cheese board with fantastic wine and conversation. Please support this amazing business

Fantastic experience! Very knowledgeable owner was able to recommend a delicious "Brazilian" wine to go with our cheese board

A Hidden Gem for Wine Lovers My husband & I were in Galway last weekend and stumbled upon this hidden gem! We had a fantastic experience at this wine bar. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed afternoon. Their wine selection was thoughtfully curated, offering something for every palate—from crisp whites to bold reds. The charcuterie boards were beautifully presented, with a great variety of cheeses, and accompaniments that paired perfectly with the wine. Warm, crusty bread was perfect! What truly set the experience apart was the owner. Barry was incredibly welcoming and attentive. It’s clear they care deeply about creating a memorable experience for their guests. I’ll definitely be returning—and recommending it to friends. A real standout in the area.

Stopped in on a Wednesday night for a cheeseboard and wine for two. The prices were very reasonable, and the owner, Barry, was both knowledgeable and helpful. A great little spot.

Nicest guy I’ve met in Ireland and we’ve met a lot of good people here who care. Come here to feel like Ireland loves you.

Absolutely charming spot in the heart of Galway — cosy, relaxed, and full of character. The wine and cheese board was outstanding: a beautifully curated selection of cheeses, figs, grapes, nuts, honey and crackers. We had the Élevé Marsanne Viognier, which was light, aromatic, and paired perfectly. Barry, who looked after us, was a gent — friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. Just a lovely bloke who made the whole experience great. We also bought one of their cheese and cured meat boxes as a gift for family — it looked so good we nearly kept it for ourselves. Everything is presented with such care and attention to detail. A real hidden gem. Big congratulations to the whole team — you’ve created a beautiful little place. We’ll definitely be back.

Good wine café with helpful suggestions from the owner and tasty wine. I sat outside and had a wonderful time waiting for my train ride. The wine (Vinho Verde) I had was very tasty. Lovely location, but a bit small so do reserve in advance. Was so at peace i forgot to make a photo!

Ubicado en los bordes del Barrio Latino, este era el lugar que necesitábamos cuando estábamos hartos de la calle Quay. Era tranquilo, era cuantioso, tenía buenos vinos, grandes quesos, y carnes sabrosas y un servicio muy amable. El tiempo era genial, así que aprovechamos su asiento al aire libre y no podíamos haber pedido nada mejor que la noche que tuvimos.

Un lugar tan acogedor para tomar una copa de vino y charcutería! Barry es un anfitrión maravilloso! Nos encantó aquí y recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar cuando visite Galway!
