I cannot recommend Trieste enough! The food is always top quality and the wine is amazing. Barry and the team provide incredible service, especially with his knowledge of wine pairings with cheese. Always a 10/10 experience.

What a lovely little place, great ambiance, fabulous food and such a warm and friendly welcome from our host Barry.
We ordered the classic Trieste sharing board for 2 with a side of veggie sticks and hummus followed by the sweet Trieste board. The meats and cheeses were all wonderful and were perfectly complemented by the selection of little extras.
If we return to Galway, we’ll definitely be back, thank you 😊

The best, BEST wine bar full of delicious & delightful things. Barry is an absolute gem - super hospitable and full of colourful stories. Be sure to leave the car at home because you’ll be leaving very silly, giddy and wobbly.

On our recent visit to Galway, enjoyed an excellent afternoon at this quaint and delightful cafe. We were fortunate to arrive and get a table without a reservation. Our family enjoyed our late lunch after a busy morning, with gracious hospitality a bonus.

I am writing this review as a sip on my favourite wine from Trieste, the Vinho Verde.
We recently had a private party in Trieste and Barry could not have done anymore for us. The selection of food was excellent (and endless), the wine was crispy cold (my favourite) and the atmosphere was absolutely joyous.
Barry really knows his stuff and every single one of our guests absolutely loved the evening.
10/10 would recommend!
Thanks Barry!

**This can fill you up if you're hungry**
My wife suggested Trieste so I glanced at the Google maps photos and agreed. Upon arrival I was starving and less than impressed about a charcuterie board for dinner. I have a healthy appetite.
Barry, the owner who is an absolutely lovely human, helped us navigate the menu to create the perfect combo of local cheeses, and accompanying wine and non-alcoholic beverages (0% Prosecco).
Once finished I was certainly full. But also extremely grateful for my wife's suggestion.
I cannot recommend this place enough.

An absolute must visit for a great meal with friends in Galway - everything about this spot is awesome.
We asked for local cheese recommendations because Irish cheese is incredible, and everything was fabulous.
The proprietor provided brilliant wine recommendations. I highly recommend asking for recos - the list is lovely and eclectic.

On Saturday night we visited the Trieste Café and Wine Bar and had the best time ever. The whole experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish.
Barry, the owner, was a superb host who made everyone feel welcome and looked after throughout the evening. The food and drinks were outstanding, with everything served to a very high standard.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was fantastic. The combination of great music, wonderful guests, excellent service, and a warm, friendly environment made for a truly memorable night.
We can't wait to return and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special evening out. Thank you, Barry and the team, for such a wonderful experience!

This wine bar has wonderful wines by glass and bottle. Wide variety of choices are available including a decent alcohol free option.
We did the cheese board with nuts and fruits; absolutely fantastic! Really interesting array of cheeses! Quality was excellent.
Surroundings are so pleasant!
I’m excited to recommend this cafe and wine bar!
