The best restaurants in Galway

15/10/2025: Delicious food and very patient, friendly service. We had a perfect evening! Thank you so much :) We would definitely recommend you! The dessert was amazing and a perfect ending! The awards on the wall are rightfully there and speak volumes.

12/10/2025: Excellent and fresh food, wonderful staff, we will be back

09/11/2025: Moran's is a lovely spot to just pop in for a couple of pints. Sitting in the front parlour by the fire on a Friday evening m

06/11/2025: A quality experience every time. Fantastic oysters and fresh seafood with friendly and professional staff. Highly recommended!

10/11/2025: *Wonderful experience from start to finish*. The beautiful wood fires and the gorgeous setting make this a very unique dining experience. Would highly recommend. We had the lunch tasting menu and for 75 euro, we all thought it was very good value for the high-quality ingredients and craft involved in each dish, as well as the service. I've been lucky enough to dine in quite a few Michelin restaurants but there was something very special about Lignum - perhaps it was all the local elements and unique setting! Some very small negatives were the lack of any cocktail options on the drink menu and the high price for many of the wines on the menu. Also it would have been very nice to get a menu at the end to recap on the wonderful dishes served and the various elements on each plate. Sometimes it was hard to catch each bit!

02/11/2025: The 16-course tasting menu at Lignum is one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. A beautiful stone building with wood-burning stoves, soft lighting, and earthy décor sets the tone. The menu is provided at the end so you can fully immerse yourself in the flavours of each dish. Service was excellent, and the food was exceptional. I’m already looking forward to returning.

16/11/2025: The food was very good and reasonably priced. The service was very friendly and welcoming. It was the perfect place for lunch after exploring Connemara National Park.

15/11/2025: Thatched roof atmosphere continues inside and is very quaint and homey, but didn't feel cheap or outdated.

25/10/2025: A traditional pub with live music and excellent food. Great for families with children.

19/10/2025: Really lovely country pub. Visited with the Irish Subaru Drivers Club as a final stop in our Doolough valley run. The food was immensely tasty, and there's a huge amount of room in the back for dining, as well as a huge terrace overlooking the beautiful scenery as a smoking area. I got roast lamb and spuds, and it was absolutely beautiful. Well worth the spin.

28/10/2025: Terrible experience. We went to this pub just after church time on a Sunday. The lady at the bar was really unfriendly. We order two Irish coffee… well the were really bad. It seems like juste burnt coffee without any whisky inside, I have to admit she puts coca powder on top. I will definitely never go back to this pub again.

23/10/2025: Very friendly atmosphere, good beers at reasonable prices, live music in the evenings, A great place

29/11/2025: Absolutely fantastic…. The staff here were wonderful, and the breakfast was truly delicious with plenty of healthy options to choose from. I’ll definitely be returning, and I’ve already recommended this place to several friends. Highly impressed!

27/11/2025: I was recommended here by a university of galway Professor. She said it was not to be missed. She was right. The preparations, the service was exceptional. The meal's components were fresh, perfectly seasoned, ample, precisely cooked and delicious. Eve if you have to drive a hour to get here, it's a bucket list experience you didn't know you needed.

02/12/2025: Always a good experience, nice and cosy bar, good quality food and drink and really friendly staff

19/11/2025: Amazing place - staff were great! Fish and chips were the best we’ve had on our trip with homemade batter! The meat pie was incredible! Highly recommended stop!

07/11/2025: Best Guinness and seafood lunch I've ever had

04/11/2025: (Traducido por Google) Buena comida y vistas (Original) Good food and views

07/09/2025: A place to relax and have snacks

04/09/2025: Thanks for the really lovely lentil dahl soup with excellent bread! And of course a great pot of tea.

08/11/2025: Great food,great service. The food chowder is delicious,it's gluten free as well.

22/10/2025: Everything was great, I would love to go again.

14/11/2025: Had a couple of pints with friends a lovely spot an old fashioned pub

11/11/2025: So far we've only ordered takeaway. The pizza is one of the best in Galway.

29/10/2025: This is a wonderful coffee shop! With good, delicious coffee! It's sometimes difficult to find parking near it, but there is a parking lot. If you're in Kinvara, don't pass it by; this place is worth a visit. The people at this cafe are always very friendly. I have nothing more to add; I've said it all. It's my choice, my freedom, and my right. Just like my opinion 😄 You may agree or disagree, but I'll be right.

27/10/2025: Excellent place for food and coffee,staff are so friendly, couldn't recommend highly enough

04/12/2025: We would have liked to see more of the inside, but most of it was blocked off.

03/12/2025: You can get this close to the monastery and see the beautiful scenery without paying an entrance fee. Parking is free.

16/11/2025: What a gem! We’d happily take a long detour just to come here. Hate to admit it - but as the Copenhagen coffee snobs we probably are - we were genuinely excited to find a place that truly knows their craft. Everything they serve is excellent 🫶🏼 Hot chocolate is the best we’ve ever had. The only thing missing to make us fully homesick would be a bun with butter and cheese. We may or may not have gone three times. (We did.) Great job, guys!

16/11/2025: Gorgeous spot. Great coffee. Amazing cakes! Always stop when in Oughterard.
