The best restaurants in Galway

13/05/2026: We had just spent 3 months in Florence Italy and in Ireland touring for the last 2 months. The food here surpassed many Florence experiences. The chef will deserve your kiss after you eat here.

12/05/2026: Some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had. Especially recommend the squid ink pasta. The service was amazing (delightful Greek fellow who’s name I cannot remember, I’m sorry :’)

19/04/2026: Real Thai kitchen. Super fast service and tasty food. Recommend

09/04/2026: Really excellent Asian food. We were all thrilled. Friendly staff and 5 stars well deserved.

12/05/2026: Friendly people, delicious burgers, and a relaxed atmosphere. Everything was perfect 💯

11/05/2026: A generous burger!!! The perfect burger!!! Special mention for the BOB Burger

18/04/2026: The brunch was really really tasty, gorgeous setting, lovely staff

18/04/2026: The Kimchi brunch was outrageous.

06/05/2026: Tucked into a lively Galway street, this breakfast spot feels like the kind of place you “accidentally” discover once… and then mysteriously return to every morning after. The first thing that hits you is the aroma of coffee, rich, warm, and just persuasive enough to make you forget whatever plans you had before walking in. The coffee here isn’t just good, it’s the kind that makes you pause mid-sip and reconsider your standards. Smooth, balanced, and brewed with obvious care, it sets the tone for everything else that follows. Then comes the food. The menu reads like a love letter to local ingredients, with fresh, thoughtfully sourced produce shining in every dish. Whether it’s a perfectly cooked breakfast plate, flaky pastries, or something a bit more inventive, everything tastes like it was made that morning… because it probably was. There’s a brightness to the flavors that only comes from ingredients that haven’t traveled halfway across the world to meet your fork. But what really elevates the place is the atmosphere, carried almost entirely by the staff. They welcome you like you’ve been coming in for years, even if it’s your first visit. Service is warm, quick without feeling rushed, and sprinkled with just the right amount of humor to make your morning lighter. All together, it’s more than just a breakfast stop. It’s a small daily ritual waiting to happen, powered by excellent coffee, honest food, and genuinely kind people.

30/04/2026: We had breakfast at Dela and were not disappointed. The service was very friendly and attentive, and the coffee was good. The food was also delicious, and we would definitely come back.

19/12/2025: Warm friendly welcoming pub offering live music 7 nights a week. Doesn't serve food.

10/12/2025: I loved it. Absolutely beautiful and the Christmas decorations were fantastic. I've heard that Ed Sheeran filmed the music video for "Galway Girl" here. I don't know for sure, but I've heard it's a popular meeting place for artists. Whether that's true or not, I really enjoyed it and I recommend it.

22/04/2026: The best pizza I’ve tried in Ireland!

21/04/2026: Amazing Pizza Margherita. We devoured it before I could snap a picture. Here on a bus tour, this was a quick and tasty option for anyone who might be a bit fish and chipped out.

15/04/2026: Such good ice cream! We were greeted by a wonderful individual who offered us a taste of anything we would like! Def would recommend if your looking for a little sweet. Flavours were fun and unique

08/04/2026: SO GOOD. I don’t get ice cream very often. The flavors sound a little niche for me, but every one that I tried was the perfect amount of flavor, creamy, and delicious. Irish cream lacked a little flavor but was still delicious, peanut butter, and sea salt were extremely good. I’d be back if we were staying another night in Galway. Staff are laid back, chill, friendly, offer excellent recommendations, and are extremely efficient in getting samples while you’re waiting in line. They aren’t pushy and open to your trying any number of samples. If there is a line, it’s worth the wait!

04/03/2026: The best pub with the best music! An unforgettable place. It's packed on weekends, but we love the atmosphere.

28/02/2026: One of the best if not the best in Galway! Live music , pint self served and everything else is history!

12/04/2026: Best IPA I've had so far in Ireland

07/04/2026: Not your normal bar. Quaint and friendly. Right beside The Eglinton Canal, bliss on a summers day...

21/04/2026: We can't say enough great things about this place! The staff made us feel so welcome. The pizza was amazing. You could tell it was made with love. The desserts were out of this word! Creme Brulee, Tiramisu, and Affogato, DELICIOUS! Highly recommend Woozza over all the other pizza spots. You won't regret it!

20/04/2026: Excellent, fast, served with grace and elegance. Pure bliss, an excellent pizzeria. I highly recommend it.

03/01/2026: Great vegan food served by very nice people.

30/12/2025: A very, very nice place. Great food. Great atmosphere with fairy lights and plants. The service was very friendly despite the large number of guests. It was really great. I think it would be better to have one more staff member during peak hours or when the city is busier.

14/04/2026: Loved it! Love watching other culinarians really flourish in their craft, and to taste the passion in the food. The dedication and time and everything the Anair crew put into such an awesome experience.

14/04/2026: Dined here on a recent trip to Galway. Rich. Very thoughtfully composed menu, backed up by excellent dishes and fresh ingredients. Incredibly creative and brave. The setting, room with dynamic display walls and lighting all added to the richness of this culinary experience. Courses were exhaustive and consistently excellent. Offerings could benefit from some edits and consolidation. Several sauces and reductions were complex, layered and polished. Moments of foam and froth complimented by texture kept my culinary senses on the edge of the seat. The dinnerware is gorgeous, an extension of Irish craft and culture. The wine pairing was also well worth it. Overall, a rich and wonderful experience that I will remember for a long time. Highly recommended.

05/05/2026: A galway gem for sure, food spot on ❤️ would certainly visit again

29/04/2026: This is a delightful spot in Galway that has AmAzInG food! The photos are after the meal... remains of Soup of the Day (vegetable and brown bread- delicious!) and ham and cheese sandwich with a small green salad on the side (excellent!). Beautiful atmosphere on a beautiful sunny day. We loved it!!

04/05/2026: The food was extra delicious, everything we ate was perfect and tasty. Fish and chips was the best we've tried in Ireland, and goat cheese salad top! Ambient is very nice and comfy. But the best of all place was our host Bea, we wish you to have luck that she serves you. She is the reason that whole experiece was even better🫶 Place is not expensive at all, 2 drinks per person, 7 meals and few sides were about 35€/person

04/05/2026: Wonderful gem with delicious food and a great staff. The seafood is fresh with local options, while the steak is Irish beef and cooked to perfection. The servers were a seamless team, with a special appreciation for Megan. We would definitely return.
