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.

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.

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.

28/10/2025: Definitely worth a visit! Fabulous cosy atmosphere. The food is fantastic! The staff are so lovely, amazing service! And the manager Scott is so professional and so obliging! 5 out of 5 stars for sure!

27/10/2025: Great food, big portion and amazing bakery !!

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

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

01/11/2025: We spent the evening at Glynn’s Bar and it was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere was electric — live music by an intergenerational band playing blues and rock, great vibes all around. A lovely woman introduced us to her husband, one of the musicians, and their son — we ended up chatting about politics and society and discovered the warmth and pride of the Irish people. We even danced! The place itself is full of character, with several rooms and bars connected together. It also links directly to Urban Fire Pizzeria, where we enjoyed a delicious hot veggie pizza with jalapeños. An unforgettable evening with my wife — highly recommended! 🍀🎶🍺🍕

14/10/2025: It's a lot bigger than it looks. Lots of nooks and crannies.

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.

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.

04/11/2025: One of the most stunning places we visited on our 1000+ mile Irish road trip. The story of this place is part of what makes it special so I'd encourage enought time for that. But the grounds are enormous. They have walking paths, gardens, and so so much to explore. We spent 4 hours here. The gift shop is one of the better ones, it carries hand crafted items from the Nuns. The restaurant is cafeteria style, but honestly, some of the better food we had on our trip. The landscape on your way here is also breathtaking. We saw the Fjords on our way north. One of our must sees for sure.

02/11/2025: A very pretty place to visit with the family. The parking is easily accessible and well-organized. A lovely stop on our Connemara lakes road trip.

06/11/2025: Delicious fish and chips, friendly service.

31/10/2025: Great time at Pat Cohan's Pub. This bar was a fun little treat, walkable distance from Ashford Castle. Enjoyed the chicken wings, as well as the salmon and halibut dishes we ordered. Found memories of watching the movie The Quiet Man with my father during my childhood, even though the movie was before my time. Took a few pictures of the pub, and upon hearing me asking my wife to get a picture of me at the bar, the bartender asked if I wanted to come behind the bar, which I happily agreed too. This will make my father very happy, so well worth it, a great experience overall.

28/09/2025: Stopped here while exploring the area. At this time, we had been in Ireland for 10 days. Sadly, the woman that helped us wad the first and only rude person we encountered while in Ireland. Such a disappointment.

23/09/2025: Beautiful, small Cafe and friendly people. The coffee here tasted great. Triple cheese toasties were already pre-made, but delicious. Free tap water. Nice art gallery.

13/11/2025: Unbelievable experience! Management & staff are so good! November 14th, 2025: I need to say more as I didn't do it justice with the brief comment above. We simply loved this place. If we were ever to visit Ireland again, Abbeyglen Castle Hotel would be on the TOP of our list of places to stay!

13/11/2025: Our stay at Abbeyglen Castle Hotel was wonderful. The castle has so much character, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff were warm and attentive throughout our visit. One of the absolute highlights was the evening talk. Hearing the history of the castle and the surrounding area brought the whole experience to life and made the stay feel even more meaningful. It was engaging, fun, and something that set Abbeyglen apart from any other stay we have had. We would love to return on our next trip to the area.
