The best restaurants

14/09/2026: Lovely restaurant and great service, The food is first class 🙏

12/09/2026: Behold Mario! He grew among the ursid folk in the thin air and thickets; there, with that reigning bird-of-Jove circling o'er did he find an appetite for the eye that sees the frost of peaks. Mario with his eagle and ursids took of the eternal tree's overflowing sap. Eternally-recurring, eternally-returning is this tree! Like the rising-falling sun, this tree too becomes weary of its plenitude and seeks to send forth its wonders, so they might prosper through the workings of another beast. O what would this tree be without Mario, his eagle and his ursids! Without their yearning snouts gazing upon its sky-reaching stature! Behold! Mario too becomes weary of his abundance! Like a hive that has gathered to much honey – he needs cupped hands outstretched to take it! He: the cup that wants to overflow! He: Mario! shall send pouring his light 'til the hungry revel in their plenty, and the wise in their folly! Thus began Mario's downgoing, to the town named 'Piety'. When Mario arrived in the valley village with his pots and pans and plants a plenty, the people thought him strange and unsettling. They turned their shoulders to him and huddling in their heaps they muttered thus to one another, and blinked: 'Who is this vile cook who comes from the Ursid peaks?... where those bilious bruins dwell...', 'Yes who! Who is this fool who laughs behind his pots of sanguine sauce? Who dances with his pans, as though instead of pans they were indeed musicians?'. Then an elder near the centre of the huddle piped up, ''And those pots you see, they do not cook our Pious stew. He cooks a stew quite different, Nay! in fact! it is no stew! Let alone a Pious one!' Thus spoke the elder, blinking. And with this the disgruntled mass of Pious folk departed from that scene with a sententious sense of accomplishment. Come evening, when the town had grown tired of its labours, and was quite dormant, a few Piousites with keen nostrils, snook about the town of Piety. Dipping from inky shadow to shadow, they followed that new and curious scent, 'til at longsolast they found Mario at his work, roasting a great boar on his Olympic flame. In raucous frenzy, they greeted this strange foreigner, making Mario merry gifts of herbs and liquors. A set of drunken carpenters carried forth a table long and sturdy, and the potters came clinking down the lane with plates round and fat. All was jovial and drunken! Articulating the senseless sound and merriment, a composed Piousite thumped the hem of her blouse, and spoke thus, 'Noble Stranger! Long have we, in this town of Piety, eaten of boiled meats and valley stew, which neither settle nor discomfort the body. And Long! Long have i longed for a fatty proliferation! For a great abundance! For an impious indulgence! a dance! and a bowl of something flavourful! We beseech of you, O strange chef, a great feast!' And thus began the banquet!

04/09/2026: Sensational!!!! I haven't had such good Italian food in a long time. Absolutely recommended!!!😋☺️😋

01/09/2026: Always seems to be very busy even early in the week…food is always exceptionally good and prices are reasonable. Only downside is the young lady who clearly doesn’t value customers…on our first visit she turned us away because we hasn’t made a booking despite the fact that there were lots of empty tables and the next visit she had tried to us the same approach but lucky for us we had made a reservation…

07/09/2026: Really great pub and eatery. Very warm welcome on entering The Tara from all members of staff. Very impressed by the decor too. Food was fantastic, I had chicken wings and a beef and Guinness pie. Portions were huge. Id recommend this place for either food and drinks.

29/08/2026: Food is back to being delicious. Great atmosphere. Staff are lovely. Our local even though we are from the next town over.

13/09/2026: fab place,and great to sit out in front on sunny days.

12/09/2026: Really good food, made by a proper chef. Duck crispy and delicious. Chicken was supreme as the name indeed and the meat was perfect. All vegetables were crispy and juice. Highly recommend this place.

23/09/2026: The pizza I had was honestly one of the finest I’ve had in a long time, absolutely delicious and full of flavour. The tiramisu was equally lovely and the perfect way to finish the meal. A really enjoyable dining experience overall!.

22/09/2026: Friendly, attentive staff.. cocktails were A1 Sharon

08/08/2026: Jyoti was very friendly and made us feel at home

28/07/2026: Delhi Darbar in Maynooth is a lovely place to sit in and enjoy a meal. The staff are really friendly and the food is delicious. I particularly love the Vindaloo they serve here, it is one of the best I’ve had in Ireland. Thanks!

27/08/2026: As a Cantonese person, I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed the food here! The wontons were absolutely delicious — the filling was bouncy and springy, and the alkaline-style soup really reminded me of flavours from home. I loved it and honestly missed this taste so much. The noodles were also great, especially because they used traditional bamboo noodles, which made the dish even more authentic and enjoyable. The char siu was cooked very well too. I personally prefer leaner char siu, so it was perfect for me. The sauce was perhaps slightly too generous and a little sweet for my personal taste, but overall it was still delicious. I also really want to mention the pickled green chillies — they were wonderfully sour and absolutely delicious. Highly recommended! The staff were incredibly friendly, and we had a really lovely chat. It’s such a cute little restaurant with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Definitely a place I’d love to come back to again! ❤️

11/08/2026: Great place for Chinese dishes and noodles.

11/09/2026: Great place to have a few beers and something to eat, we've been back!

28/08/2026: Nice atmosphere and attentive staff about gluten free food but the service was very slow. Unfortunately the gluten food was not good. The rest of the food was good though.

05/09/2026: Absolutely brilliant place, the best pizza in Ireland without any question.

05/09/2026: Went here on a first date, vibes were immaculate, maybe it was the company, maybe it was the food. Who knows…

26/09/2026: Amazing place! If you want to experience a pub with live entertainment, this is the place for you. Great atmosphere, very friendly people, and reasonable prices. A must-visit during your stay in Galway.

26/09/2026: We ate in the Galway Girl restaurant in the cellar, the main floor being the pub area, which was noisy and rather crowded. Reservations are recommended. The fish and chips were decent, but the cottage pie and roast chicken exceeded expectations.
