The best restaurants in Galway

21/07/2025: Enjoyed our evening here with absolutely delicious food, excellent service and fun atmosphere in a cozy restaurant.

20/07/2025: The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff were so kind and friendly that it made the experience even better. I loved this place and will definitely go back. At first, the taste of their food was a bit unusual for me, but now it’s one of my favourites. Because of the high quality of the food, the restaurant is usually very crowded, especially on weekends, so it’s best to book a table in advance. ❤️❤️❤️

01/07/2025: we have now become regulars here for our wine and cheese night and we have never experienced such kind and brilliant hospitality. the owner is such a gem, makes you feel welcome and at home from the moment you step in. a must visit place tucked away in the heart of galway

24/06/2025: So friendly and wonderful dessert! Barry was a fantastic host and made our time here special.

23/07/2025: It's decent but seems very overrated. Solid pizza, busy venue, expensive beer options but at least it's craft beer. Pizza for one, glass of red wine, chilli dip cost 30€ dip was small and watery and tasted like burger sauce with spice, not good.

23/07/2025: The pizza at The Dough Bros never disappoints and my recent experience was no exception with so many great pizza options to choose from! We ate on a Monday evening (many Galway restaurants are closed on Mondays) and the line understandably snaked out the door but people were patient and courteous and it progressed quickly. We were seated immediately after ordering and our food came within 20mins. Highly recommend The Dough Bros for the BEST pizza experience!

29/06/2025: Barr and Chaladh in Galway: A Hidden Gem! One late evening, while on our way to grab a kebab, my family and I stumbled upon Barr and Chaladh. The owner, Michael, warmly greeted us. We fully expected typical Irish pub fare, but were delightfully surprised when Michael offered an Asian-inspired lunch menu – perfect, as I was craving prawns! The prices were incredibly reasonable, and the portions were enormous. But the best part? The food was delicious! The atmosphere was lively, thanks to the live music, and Michael's hospitality made us feel incredibly welcome. We enjoyed it so much, we returned a few weeks later! Michael, you're a true gentleman, and we highly recommend Barr and Chaladh to anyone looking for a fantastic meal and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Well done!

29/06/2025: Una tarde por la noche, mientras íbamos a tomar un kebab, mi familia y yo nos topamos con Barr y Chaladh. El propietario, Michael, nos recibió cálidamente. Esperábamos la típica comida irlandesa, pero nos sorprendió mucho cuando Michael ofreció un menú de almuerzo inspirado en Asia, perfecto, ya que estaba ansioso por las gambas! Los precios eran increíblemente razonables, y las porciones eran enormes. ¿Pero la mejor parte? La comida era deliciosa! El ambiente era animado, gracias a la música en vivo, y la hospitalidad de Michael nos hizo sentir increíblemente bienvenidos. Lo disfrutamos tanto, que volvimos unas semanas después! Michael, eres un verdadero caballero, y recomendamos Barr y Chaladh a cualquiera que busque una comida fantástica y un ambiente cálido y acogedor. Bien hecho!

11/07/2025: Had one of the nicest breakfasts ive ever eaten last Thursday morning in ard bia. Myself and my husband had to wait about ten minutes for a table which we didn’t mind at all as it was worth the wait. The staff were super friendly! We both really enjoyed our breakfast and coffee. Really good food bursting with flavour. I had eggs with avocado and halloumi with almond pesto on soda bread. Will definitely return.

10/07/2025: Such lovely service (especially gorgeous Izzy), food and location. Korma was delicious. Coffee is right up there amongst the best we’ve had.

21/07/2025: Middle of pub crawl in Galway city We wanted somewhere not too busy but good pint of Guinness and trad session. This was the spot. We ended up staying for hours here to listen amazing songs. They mentioned every Saturdays so highly recommend to check it out.

18/07/2025: We went to listen to music and have some drinks. This was an incredible experience and everything I could have wanted from a traditional Irish pub. I loved how everyone would quiet down for the music, especially when someone was singing. It made the entire experience more intimate. The musicians were all very talented and we thoroughly enjoyed listening to them. I hope to visit again some day.

06/07/2025: Couldn't have asked for more. Great service and food. Very attentive staff and good selection of beer. We were down house sitting my sisters house this week and Murphy's was great. Well priced too.

02/07/2025: We absolutely loved Tig Coili! Wonderful bartenders, warm, friendly atmosphere, excellent traditional music, and incredibly patrons who turned quickly into friends. I loved seeing Liam Clancy’s photo on the wall, with the pub owner. Best of all was when one of the musicians sang a cappella a beautiful ballad, and the whole boisterous pub went silent and listened w rapt attention and awe. Gave me goose bumps. We went back again twice. Can hardly wait to return.

02/07/2025: Daily visit to here is essential.🍻 No loothremauns here at all!

14/06/2025: My wife and I were there for lunch. Good fusion food. Interesting spot with some liquor and seasoning infusion decorations. It felt very transactional.
