12/12/2025: Best oysters around. Actually don't go here I don't want everyone to know how amazing it is.

07/12/2025: 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

07/12/2025: Lignum Michelin is truly a culinary masterpiece. From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with an atmosphere that blends elegance and comfort perfectly. The menu is a celebration of creativity and flavor—every dish is crafted with precision and passion, making each bite an unforgettable experience. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel at home, and the attention to detail is second to none. One of the highlights of the visit was meeting Nigel, their charming and friendly dog, who adds a unique and heartwarming touch to the entire experience.

27/11/2025: Wow, Wow, Wow. What an experience, enjoyed every second of the 4hrs we were there. The food is beyond delicious, words fail me when I think of the flavors. We were treated like royalty from the minute we arrived to when we left.

09/12/2025: One of the best Gastro pubs in Ireland. Food is exceptional, staff are very friendly and its always welcoming.

24/11/2025: Excellent small town pub you can rely on! Delicious GF vegan shepherds pie. Best gin and tonic we’ve had as well. Friendly staff!

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.

08/12/2025: Loved this bar. Friendly staff. Old world charm with authentic traditional decor. Comfy booths with candles on tables.

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.

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.

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

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!

02/12/2025: Pub and food A typical Irish place with very friendly service Warm, wood-paneled atmosphere Note that the exterior doesn't reflect the beautiful interior

17/11/2025: This is what a proper Irish pub should be like. The food and atmosphere are great. Definitely worth a visit.

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.

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.

17/11/2025: Cute little place with nice food. We got simple tomato soups with brown bread that hit the spot. Pricier but not unexpected given the tourist activity on the island. Nice to hear Irish spoken at nearby tables.

05/11/2025: This place was delightful. The two ladies working there were so nice. I didn't have much time and they boxed everything up for me. My stomach was so upset from the ferry but there tomato soup settled it.

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.
