The best restaurants

15/08/2023: Knowing my friends visiting Galway, and knowing the town has a distinct Spanish influence, I just knew they had to have at least one outstanding Spanish tapas food truck delivered without fail! The food is amazingly delicious and the know Javi’s is so gracious and warm. They hit top marks across the board, 10/10 as the decor is equally as sharp as the food and service. Definitely visit if you're in the mood for a culinary treat along in Galway . Tapas & Go.

12/06/2025: Terrible, food came ice cold. Curry sauce was clearly just taken from fridge and put In bag, horrible

22/02/2025: If frostbite had a flavor, it would taste like Taystees. Every item in my order screamed “frozen mediocrity,” as though the kitchen’s only appliance was a microwave and its only ambition was disappointment. Let’s start with the burgers: dry, lifeless patties that could double as hockey pucks in a pinch. The “Quarter Pounder” was less “juicy beef” and more “freezer-burn relic,” its texture so parched I half-expected sand to pour out. The nachos? A glacial wasteland of stale chips, topped with a miserly sprinkle of meat so sparse it felt like a garnish for existential despair, just a sad homage to laziness. Even the Red Velvet Cake tasted like it had been thawed from the Ice Age, its frosting congealed into a sugary cement. And the “crispy” chicken sandwiches? Soggy breading clinging to rubbery meat, as if “crispy” meant “defrosted in a hurry.” Taystees isn’t cooking—they’re reheating. Charging premium prices for freezer-aisle rejects is bold, but calling it “food” is delusional. Save your euros. Better yet, save your dignity. TL;DR: A frozen-food fiasco. Dry burgers, nachos that are 90% chips, and zero effort. Taystees is where flavor goes to die—permanently.

06/08/2023: I had a lovely coffee at PickaBean yesterday. The taste and quality of their coffee were delightful, making it an enjoyable experience. I would definitely visit again!

06/08/2023: My husband and I had a fantastic coffee experience at PickaBean yesterday. The quality of their coffee was absolutely exceptional, leaving us thoroughly impressed. Highly recommended!

07/04/2026: €11.75 for a prepackaged egg mayo sandwich and a flat white, which was basically boiled milk and coffee with the added insult of being frothy and too hot to drink. These people have no idea how to make coffee.

28/05/2026: Not very quick. Not much cheese on the 'garlic bread with cheese'. Gents toilets appalling. Neither cubicle had lockable door. One wc blocked badly. Would not visit again.

07/06/2026: Called in today for first time in months at just 5pm to see it was all closing up . Very disappointed . Used to be 6 pm closing

24/06/2026: The food is average, but the service is great. Friendly staff and easy underground parking. They dropped over colouring pens and papers for my kid once we settled down to read the menu.

17/03/2026: Just had lunch in the Oak bar and have left extremely disappointed. We came early to avoid the crowds and were told to wait for the carvery to order. We ordered and 35 minutes later the children's meals still hadn't been received. We asked two different servers how long the food would be and both of them went to the kitchen to check and neither of them came back with an answer. Both of them looked like they had no interest in being there. I asked for the manager and he was very apologetic and went in to the kitchen. The food was then brought out for the children. We were offered a round of drinks which we couldn't take because we had to rush off as the children were in the parade. We weren't offered any sort of discount or refund. Apart from the manager, the customer service needs a lot of work.

24/04/2026: We've come here before but this from the lunch menu. The kids menu was the healthy alternative to McDonald's so we'll be making this the go to place for kids treats. I tend to order cheesecake from the dessert menu wherever I go and the cheesecake I had was hands down, the best ever. Looking forward to coming back. "The ice cream was amazing" says my 9 year old daughter.

13/05/2025: Great bread. Pity it doesn't open before 10am, which is too late!

11/06/2025: Delicious food, fast service and lovely staff! Thank you ❤️
