The best restaurants in Galway

17/12/2025: Collected a beautiful cheese bored for the morning of my wedding, went down a treat. Presented beautifully

07/12/2025: Went here two weekends in a row highly recommend it. The atmosphere and food is lovely. The waitress April was so helpful and accommodating, her energy made us feel very welcomed.

18/01/2026: We heard so much about mamarich before, we thought of going here and trying the dishes to see why everyone loves this place so much! But to be honest, I didn’t like it so much or maybe I didn’t try the right dishes. Also, the portions of the starter dishes are so small but nevertheless the mains have good large portions to it! 🍽️ What we tried: - Japanese udon Pad Thai Korean fried wings Skewers Cramberry juice

16/01/2026: Love this place!! Tried yesterday for the first time and 5/5 recommend! The staff were so lovely, the restaurant has such a nice relaxed and warm environment. The food were delicious, and portions huge, got some yummy leftovers to take home. Lot of options to choose from and they were very accommodating with gluten free options. I got the mojito alcohol free as well, so they are truly kind and take great care of their customers and their different needs. Their location is superb. Only piece of advice is that the space is limited, so I recommend booking a table for a bigger party. Thanks for everything!

04/01/2026: Best food, best burger you can get in Ireland. Matthew is a top bloke and serves you well every time

02/01/2026: Tasty Burger and Chips in the West. Our waiter Matthew was very attentive. A must.

16/12/2025: Menu was very limited for food, but they had really awesome customer service. Super nice.

13/12/2025: The queue for brunch was massive. It was a Saturday morning but I didn’t expect it and the wind was howling so it was freezing. Once I got in the door I was given a menu and a seat. The staff then corralled everyone waiting outside up and along the stairs out of the cold. I was then seated at a lovely spacious table. And I realised instead of putting people on chairs once they were free they were sitting people once they were ready to serve them. This made the service once you were seated lovely and efficient. Food was excellent, different, something I wouldn’t make at home and they were able to accommodate my allergies which is always reassuring. Staff were quick and warm. A great experience and I was impressed how the handled the busyness. Only drawback I was either cold from waiting outside or there could have been a draft from sitting by the window but it was a little chilly

01/01/2026: True authentic italian kitchen!

15/12/2025: my friends and i went here after a night out and the pizza was delicious pretty cheap for a massive slice of pizza, although it is a bit more expensive if you go after 11pm i think

20/01/2026: There was a small queue however, waiting time was minimal. Whilst queuing, we were able to browse the menu prior to ordering & paying at the till. Food arrived within 10 minutes. The pizza (American Pie) was lovely. Look forward to the next visit!

20/01/2026: Was on my bucket list...loved the whole experience, best pepperoni pizza ever, and a good small dough bros beer to go with it.

26/12/2025: Amazing irish music venue and great pints

21/12/2025: No food that I know of. Traditional Irish pub with love music. Crowded, lively

20/11/2025: Amazing authentic Italian food served in a warm, cosy atmosphere by the most attentive and friendly staff. We travelled from Cavan yesterday to celebrate our daughter’s graduation, and we will happily travel from Cavan again just to enjoy another meal in La Collina.

30/10/2025: Fabulous food and service to celebrate a graduation .

11/01/2026: very, very packed, it was hard to walk anywhere inside on this particular day, but the traditional music and atmosphere was unbeatable, very magical

10/01/2026: Just go upstairs and enjoy the authenticity of Irish culture. Probably my favorite pub experience I’ve had. Just make sure you’re quiet and respectful.

03/12/2025: The steak for 2 was fabulous, best food and price point in Galway. Can't wait to go back!

02/12/2025: Three friends and myself had dinner on a wet Monday eve. Food and wine excellent.

02/12/2025: Fabulous range of beers, friendly vibe and lots of great live music

26/11/2025: Great beer selection, they have a wheel if you can't make up your mind. Especially for me, the fact they have two sours on tap cannot be overstated! Lovely service as well, will come back.

04/01/2026: Very tasty and inexpensive for this quality

29/12/2025: Great spot for lunch. Relaxed family vibe. Great service and food was really tasty. Decent value / prices for the food too. Good place to visit.

04/01/2026: We ended up here looking for vegan breakfast options. The menu is a bit confusing at first: it states that changes are not possible, but the friendly waiter then told us that almost everything can be prepared vegan. The breakfast burrito and sandwiches are highly recommended. Arrive early or be prepared to wait!

03/01/2026: Very very large breakfast An option for a mini breakfast would be welcome. Staff helpful, friendly and informative on the food. Queue on arrival, seated within 5 mins. Quick service and nobody hovering waiting on you to leave. Highly recommended.

16/01/2026: banging ice cream. Had the chocolate whiskey and Irish cream, and I’ll be thinking about it forever now. didn’t get to ask for their names but had a great chat with both of the staff (someone who lived in Lyon for a while and one of the most beautiful lady I’ve ever seen, thick accent couldn’t get anything she was saying lol loved it)

13/01/2026: The nicest people serving the tastiest ice cream! Try the honeycomb flavor.

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.
