The best restaurants in Galway

16/07/2026: Everything was amazing but the bread needs a shoutout. So so good, I need more of that bread in my life. The oysters were great too! Food was brilliant, staff were really good, and the Guinness was absolutely lovely too. Can't fault a thing. Top drawer stuff going on here so make sure you visit!

14/07/2026: Arrive well on time or make a reservation, especially if you want to sit outside. The dishes are good but not outstanding, and the price is a bit too high. The service is friendly and fast.

21/07/2026: Without a doubt, one of Irelands finest establishments. The staff are so friendly, the food is superb, and the atmosphere was really nice. I look forward to returning again and again.

21/07/2026: A good place on Oudderard, fast service and quality food

06/08/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an incredible dining experience at John J. Burke's in Clonbur! The food was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. We had the burgers, which were cooked to perfection and packed with flavour. My daughter had the fish and chips, and she said it was one of the best she's ever had. We couldn't leave without trying dessert, and we're so glad we did! From the rich chocolate brownie to the freshly made cheesecake, everything was homemade and simply delicious. Honestly, it's some of the best food we've had since dining in Michelin-starred restaurants in Abu Dhabi. The quality, freshness, and attention to detail were exceptional. The atmosphere was just as wonderful as the food, with traditional Irish music creating the perfect warm and welcoming setting. A huge compliment to everyone at John J. Burke's. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Clonbur! Thanks again Steven, Alison Willow from Donegal ❤️

28/07/2026: Beautiful setting Food ok too much fries food. The bread is amazing

18/07/2026: Great bar in Clifden with live music in the evening.

07/07/2026: Absolutely amazing!!!!! Simply brilliant!

30/07/2026: Awful, no idea how this place has a 4/5. Might be the worst service at a restaurant ever. Food was mediocre at best.

27/07/2026: Eat here 3 times while visiting friends in Barna. Great food and service. Very friendly atmosphere.

23/07/2026: Here is a smooth, enthusiastic review: We had a delicious lunch here! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed incredibly warmly. Immediately, a carafe of ice water with two glasses was placed on the table, entirely on the house. You hardly ever see such a hospitable gesture in the Netherlands. The food was truly fantastic: fresh, flavorful, plentiful, and clearly prepared with high-quality ingredients. Everything was perfect. Thank you for the wonderful experience. This restaurant is absolutely worth driving a bit out of your way for. We would love to come back again!

18/07/2026: A truly pleasant welcome! Kindness and sharing! As for the food, simple and tasty.

03/06/2026: Excellent service and friendly staff!

02/06/2026: Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, great food and coffee. The staff go above and beyond and always have a smile on their faces. Will definitely be back . Thank you Scott and Team

07/06/2026: We've had an amazing stay in this beautiful and authentic Castle, I can't thank you enough. Brian and all the staff are the real definition of "warm and welcoming", rooms are cozy and comfortable, restaurant with truly high quality menu. I wish we could stay longer than one night. See you again soon xxx

25/05/2026: Great first time experience in a castle! Beautiful castle and grounds, great bar and dinner was fantastic! Try the local lobster it is so sweet! Definitely stay here again.

14/04/2026: Nice place, typical fisherman's decor. Classic but tasty and very generous portions. The men's toilets outside smell terrible and give a bad first impression. But don't let that put you off. The Guinness Zero is nice and cold 😉

14/04/2026: The best restaurant of our road trip!!! It doesn't look like much from the outside, but honestly, we highly recommend it!!! The fish was of incredible quality!

06/07/2026: Delicious coffee 😊. Friendly staff. We just stopped by coincidence, what a gem 💎☕️

05/07/2026: Easy to believe the best coffee shops in Ireland sign. The espresso is excellent and the locally made desserts are as unique as they are delicious. The interior impeccable and there's a nice patio for that day each month when it doesn't rain.

18/07/2026: Nice spot for an outdoor pint overlooking Omegle Island

17/07/2026: An open Crab sandwich, a cold pint, 26° sunshine, friendly service overlooking the beautiful Omey Island. A mirage ? No, Sweeney's Strand Bar. Perfect 😉

01/06/2026: The experience has exceeded my expectations in every dimension. The food compositions were often complex and refined, yet light and precise, and… simply delicious. The staff and atmosphere are highly professional and attentive, yet relaxed. Great interiors and surroundings. I wish I could visit you more often, and I hope I’ll be able to swing by upon my next trip to Ireland. Thank you for a truly unforgettable experience!

30/05/2026: Exceptional in every way. Excellent but unpretentious. Slick service, fantastic food and relaxed but stylish atmosphere. Very cool!

22/07/2026: At a funeral in local church ⛪️ food was beautiful good portion travelled back to Dublin full stomach 😋

21/07/2026: We stopped here at the weekend on our way home. Plenty of parking at the back. We hadn't reserved a table but the staff found us a table for 6 of us. Very much appreciated as we were all hungry. Ordered steak Sambos and kids got gougons & chips. Everything was delicious, must say was the best Steak Sambos we had in a very long time. Everything cooked perfect. When came to desert unfortunately wasn't what was advertised. The kids preferred the waffles and Nutella but when came it wasn't Nutella but rather some chocolate sauce out of a bottle seems like, but on the menu it said Nutella & waffles. For the adults the deserts are overpriced to be honest @ €8.50.

23/07/2026: This is easily the best place to eat in inishmore. Really nice home cooked food with generous healthy portions and the staff are really friendly

22/07/2026: We ate here yesterday and the food was delicious. Everything is homemade and you can tell so. The Team working there are all lovely. The cafe is so pretty.

06/06/2026: Thoroughly enjoyed every part of our stay, rooms were fantastic, staff extremely friendly and couldn’t do enough for us, food was 10/10 especially the seafood. Highly recommend and will be staying again. Looking forward to it.

06/06/2026: Loved our stay here so much we extended it. So relaxing from the moment we arrived. Staff are all excellent warm, attentive but always understated. You feel very well looked after but you are always given space. Everything is spotless, decor is beautiful...a lot of thought and care has gone into it. A relaxing inviting lounge area, a big turf fire, eclectic mix of artwork, and interesting ornaments. A beautiful dining area with views over the sea, and a delicious dinner menu made for the most romantic memorable meal. Our dog was welcomed and we were never made to feel it was an inconvenience. Similarly the place is not overrun by pets and wouldn't disturb others. Can't wait to to go back ...thank you to you all
