The best restaurantsof french in Galway

05/12/2024: Javas is always amazing. I've been coming here for more than 25 years for the atmosphere, late opening hours and craic. Don't ever leave us Javas!!!

03/12/2024: Caramelized appels and roasted almonds crepes 👌

11/11/2024: Mediocre to say the least. One of our party wanted to add the side of mushrooms and onions, kitchen was out - this is quite literally something I have never heard of. The "amuse bouche" was forgettable, some cold balls of what appeared to be mashed potato, mushrooms also cold, cold mini steak kebabs (enough with the steak) and a rather sad vegetable kebab. My partner said his steak was too well done. My dish of bean cassoulet was acceptable. Our tablemates passed little comment on their own dishes. Restaurant was crowded and very noisy, diners competing with a crooning pianist. The waiters were very pleasant. The dessert of creme brulee did somewhat take away the sour taste. 2 of the desserts (the only two chocolate options) were unavailable. Overall underwhelming, wouldn't recommend. If you're going to offer a very limited menu, you need to have everything available and on point.

10/11/2024: I so wanted to love our night. It was a special occasion and a long time since we had been to Rouge Restaurant. I had made my original booking for 8pm but unfortunately they had no table for this time. So we were given a 9pm option which we accepted. We were not seated till 9.30. Our table was lovely however. The menu was straightforward, amuse bouche followed by either a fish dish, a choice of two steaks or vegetarian option. We had two drinks to start whilst waiting, a kir and G&T. The waiter was pleasant and informed us that the fillet steak was no longer available nor was our choice of wine! I understand that chefs can run out of certain meats as the night goes on, but to be fair the whole point of rouge is to have a simple menu and have plenty of that meat to satisfy your LATER BOOKINGS!! And we expected top quality meat which it wasn't. Tough, chewy and tasteless is best decribed on both our cuts of meat. The side dishes were very poor, garlic potato, veg ratatouille ( which was cold)) and chips. We were so very dissapointed. We love a great restaurant and Rouge had been one of our favourites on the past!! Our bill was €136. And wasn't worth it.
