The best restaurants in Galway

12/03/2026: We only had oysters. It was lovely to try flat oysters here! Thank you!

10/03/2026: Amazing fresh sea food cooked to perfection. Well worth making the effort to visit.

11/03/2026: Well worth the 3 hour drive from Dublin as soon as you land into Ireland. From the simple drive-up leading up to the walk-up into the restaurant, you're instantly immersed into this restaurant. The inside is cozy and warm. Feels like a cabin but much more intimate. Plenty of courses with a couple of standouts but also a couple of bad dishes, such as the one with fish. But overall this was a great way to start a vacation is Ireland

01/03/2026: Absolutely fabulous restaurant in a beautiful setting. Food and service were excellent, would recommend.

18/03/2026: We arrived 8 adults 7 kids and 2 dogs with no reservation. We were seated very comfortably in the courtyard with blankets and hot water bottles provided. Amazing good and service.

14/03/2026: I really don't want to tell you how great this place is, it's hard enough to find a table sometimes as it is. But let's be fair, it's a great craic. Owned and run by lonely locals.

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

24/02/2026: Excellent experience! A warm and welcoming place, a great Irish atmosphere!

12/02/2026: Friendly staff. Great Guinness!

02/03/2026: A pleasant dining room with a fireplace or a view of the moors. Friendly and efficient service. Tasty dishes, generously portioned, at reasonable prices (under €20). Delicious homemade cheesecake for a sweet finish! One of our favorite places during our tour of Ireland.

17/02/2026: Really lovely spot. The owner is so charismatic and friendly, you can tell he really cares about his business. The food was lovely too, very hearty Irish food. Would definitely recommend.

02/03/2026: Visited during my stay in the area and I loved it. A tuesday evening and the place was hopping. Great atmosphere and really good food at reasonable prices.

11/02/2026: Well worth a visit. Great food, atmosphere & staff.

18/03/2026: We had a deluxe room, which was amazing. Our daughters' room was more basic and rather musty. The whole place was very charming. Food was mid, at least dinner. I might eat in town if I had to do it again. The crowd was definitely older, and that's saying something because I'm 60.

17/03/2026: Attended a wedding on 13th of Feb. One of the best venues I've been at for a wedding. Such a beautiful venue, food was delicious, staff were very friendly and helpful, rooms were gorgeous with incredible views. I'll be back again for a stay!!

21/02/2026: It's just absolutely astonishing how they prepare the food, oh my god, this is just straight up five stars, I promise you you will never be disappointed when you are finished in this establishment because like I said before it's the best food in the world and I am right because I've tried it countless times, I cannot even count how many times I've had this, oh sweet Jesus, and the garlic mayo do not get me started it's simply divine, if you pair that with the Korean chicken burger you are in for a treat, and I will tell you that for free.

20/02/2026: We got catering here for 30 people for a hen party last weekend and couldn’t have been happier. From getting in touch with them, ensuring we had plenty food and the quality of food itself it was 10/10! Will absolutely be ordering from here again and would recommend it for any event!

29/12/2025: Best cappuccino I’ve had in Galway.

07/01/2026: Great place. I've been going to Clifden since I was a child and never been in before. We had a really great meal.

03/01/2026: It is conveniently placed in front of the bus stop, so it was easy to eat there while waiting for the bus. We had the penne pasta with cream sauce and mushroom and the steak sandwich. Portion size is generous and food is really good.

13/02/2026: A fantastic pub with hospitable and knowledge staff. Worth a visit to the upstairs room with a replica of the Quiet Man cottage. Food was delicious. Well worth a visit.

30/11/2025: Buzzing environment in a quiet village with excellent food. A lot of hype about this place and it’s worth it. Good Guinness, whiskey and fantastic food!
