Ard Bia at Nimmos
Galway
17/06/2026: Fantastic brunch experience. The grilled halloumi dish was delicious and very refined for a brunch dish with a lot of additional flavours and perfect poached eggs. Initially thought the menu was a bit limited without any eggs benedict or salmon as an option but overall very pleased with what we had. Coffee also great.
Food is on the expensive side for Brunch but it’s one of the best meals we had on our trip.
17/06/2026: The most delicious water what I have ever drunk. I totally recommend this place to any thirsty person

Dela
Galway
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.

Tig Coili
Galway
02/06/2026: This place doesn’t serve food, but it’s a great spot to experience traditional Irish trad music. The atmosphere is authentic and welcoming, and the crowd tends to be a bit older, which adds to the charm. If you’re looking for genuine Irish music and a classic pub experience in Galway, it’s well worth a visit.
31/05/2026: Very cozy and very local place to sit and listen to the music and have pint of beer.

Brasserie on the Corner
Galway
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.
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

Greens & Co
Galway
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.

Monroe's
Galway
05/04/2026: Great vibe, great atmosphere, gets a bit crowded but most places do, very nice people.
04/04/2026: My friend and I stopped at Monroe's for lunch. We were blessed with the appearance of Remi, a friendly giant, who patrols the pub & check on guests (and their plates sometimes haha). The pub itself has a good atmosphere and very interesting signed posters on the ceiling! It was busy, but not chaotic busy. The staff was super friendly. We both ordered beef burgers, which were really really tasty, and of course, a pint of Guinness. We have also noticed the place hosts many gigs and other events, which is awesome!

Barr an Chaladh
Galway
21/05/2026: Our best memory of Galway! We were so glad we spent our last evening in Ireland in this pub with its really local atmosphere. People started dancing to live traditional music, it was great fun. The servers were friendly, and we were able to sample some beers before ordering them. There's an ATM inside the pub. I think a pint of Guinness was €6.
19/05/2026: Guinness could have been better
