The best restaurants in Galway

14/10/2025: great choice of Whiskey and Whisky 🥃. Lovely lady at the bar. Highly recommendable 👍🏻

09/10/2025: Great atmosphere and even better music. A must visit in Clifton.

14/10/2025: A must visit for all seafood enthusiasts.

12/10/2025: This was probably our favorite place to eat at on our entire trip. It's a small business. the menus are beautiful and simple. It was incredibly clean. Very well organized. The staff were all beautiful. The oysters were amazing. We didn't love the potato cakes so I wouldn't get that again. The sweetest relaxed little place. Loved it! Highly recommend.

01/10/2025: Fabulous food and very friendly staff, showed interest in us and asked what our plans were even drawing the best driving routes on a map.

21/09/2025: The food is very good, a friendly welcoming team,and it was great to have live music, making a warm inviting atmosphere. I would definitely visit again next time i'm on holiday in that area.

20/10/2025: We had a truly memorable evening at Powers Bar in Oughterard! The atmosphere was cosy and welcoming, but what really stood out was the delicious dinner and top-notch service. The menu showcases the best of local produce, and the highlight for us was the fresh local fish, cooked to perfection. You can really taste the quality — it’s clear they take pride in supporting local suppliers. The seafood was beautifully presented, full of flavour, and generously portioned. The service was friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm — the kind of Irish hospitality that makes you feel right at home. Staff were happy to share recommendations and made sure everything was just right throughout the evening. If you're in Oughterard and looking for a great meal in a relaxed, traditional pub setting, Powers is an absolute must. We'll definitely be back!

26/09/2025: Went for breakfast.full Irish was top notch

25/09/2025: Just got into town Galway. Our hotel is 30 minutes outside Galway. So we decided to walk through Athenry. A lot of ancient medieval walls and buildings. Quite fascinating! We went to The Old Barracks for an appetizer and a Guinness. We picked a great place. Casual and very friendly. Food apps were great. Fun start to our two days in Galway.

16/09/2025: Lovely local bar, very friendly and welcoming.

11/09/2025: I had fish cake,chips & salad, all of it was delicious. The fish cake melts in your mouth & the salad came with cranberries which took the salad to another level!!🤗🤗

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.

01/07/2025: 2yrs ago I visited Weavers and had scone&coffee and as I had eaten dinner there 3 times in few months and wasn't impressed, I decided never again.... So two years later...On end june 2025, myself and a friend called in for dinner and the place looked lovely and more cosy, the staff were very friendly, efficient and helpful as they always are and the food was delicious. I had beef stroganoff with rice&chips and my friend had beef with gravy, chips&salad. (Chips here are moreish) Both dinners were Yum! We then ordered chocolate cake,icecream,cream and tiramisu,icecream,cream and coffee. Both again were delicious. Really delighted that Weavers have upped their game and I will be meeting more friends there soon.

15/08/2025: Meal was excellent on the way to Kylemoore Abbey. Left my sunglasses at the restaurant, so the owner put them aside and sent them right away the following day. Great place!

05/10/2025: We have a lovely afternoon at Kylemore Abbey. The grounds are impeccable and the history is so interesting on such a lovely place. The furnishings of the home are lovely and it is a very walkable site. Everywhere you look is a learning opportunity, even as far as the type of tree that you are looking at. Beautiful spot and a must see for those visiting Ireland.

05/10/2025: Very nice place, great facility.

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.

01/10/2025: Sunday lunch extravaganza, Molly and crew were fabulous. Can’t wait to go again 🤩

29/09/2025: Wonderful experience, interiors are exceptional, fires are cosy and food and service exquisite.

20/10/2025: Myself & 2 friends spent 3 nights in the Abbeyglen recently & had a most enjoyable experience. From minute we landed everything was perfect, from breakfast to history of house to a fabulous dinner. We got brilliant value for what we paid for our stay. Staff were very helpful staff at reception. restaurant & bar staff & cleaners. We will definitely be making this an annual trip

12/10/2025: This is going to be a long one. This place is five stars, more like seven, do you want character? This has it do you want architecture has that too? Do you want a beautiful view check, can you walk to town?yes. Do you like Ivy? This place has lots of it. The inside, it’s old. There’s necks and scratches, it feels like the kind of place you’ll never wanna leave. Staff? Fantastic. The rooms, unbelievable. The bathrooms? As nice as they could possibly be. Fabulous rain showers. The food, absolutely five star, the food service? Add another five stars. The atmosphere? Had another five stars. We went on a tour of Scotland in Ireland and this by far was the finest place we stayed. I actually had to stop and ask some of the staff people how they liked working there, because if you could choose the most fabulous place to have a job, this would be it. Everybody there was like family. Check out my pictures.
