The best restaurants in Galway

10/09/2026: How is this place 4.7 and not 5 Stars is shocking. Our waiter literally made the entire dinner phenomenal! His recommendations were spot on. I am celiac and the salmon and mussels were TO DIE FOR. Angry it ran out. I hope the owner sees this bc our waiter (Greek guy panjanoes? lol no idea how to spell it) but he is a GEM and deserves a raise! He treats his customers like family. The food was DELICIOUS! Like more than perfect. 5 FREAKING STARS ALL THE WAY!!!! Run here!!!

09/09/2026: The service was incredibly cool and friendly, the food was fresh, and the pasta was homemade 😊 We even came back a second time because it was so delicious, and the service was top-notch and very friendly – ​​simply a must-visit if you're in Ireland. It's best to make a reservation; we were lucky both times and went in without one for a group of four. But since it's not that big, I recommend making a reservation. 😊 It was simply wonderful.

07/10/2026: Superb steak with gravy !! Cool place, nice staf but steak was pinacle of the night ! haha Try the soup, Carrot coconut and ginger -- huge surprise .. flavours are nuts !!

07/10/2026: my favorite place for breakfasts, wonderful and friendly staff 🤍

21/09/2026: Atmosphere is like 7 out of 5 stars, what great vibes in here. Such an adorable little cafe with all kinds of delicious treats, and it's open in the evening for when you could use a night off from the pub scene to just sip a cozy tea amidst twinkling lights and soft music instead. We really loved this spot.

11/09/2026: It far exceeded my expectations!! Highly recommended!!

07/09/2026: I had a great experience at 56 Central in Galway! The staff were really nice, friendly, and managed everything very well, even during the busy times. The restaurant was quite busy with tourists, but the service was still well organised. The food was amazing overall. I had the Irish breakfast, and everything was delicious, although the bacon was a little overcooked for my taste. The burger, however, was absolutely amazing! If you’re visiting Galway, I definitely recommend stopping by 56 Central. It’s a busy and popular spot for tourists, and for good reason. A must-visit when you’re in Galway! 🇮🇪🍔

05/09/2026: Amazing Irish food, friendly staff and the best coffee #ourhappyplace The staff and ambiance is next to none A great place for coffee & treats or a great lunch with delicious wine!!

22/08/2026: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic authentic asian street food in the heart of Woodquay Galway. Service is impeccable! They have a second branch inside @supermacs Eyre Square. That opens till late. Menu smaller but still same deliciousness . HIGHLY RECOMMEND

22/08/2026: Book your table. The food & service, will do the talking 🥰🥰

13/09/2026: A really good burger, the meat actually tastes like meat, unlike the usual franchises, and the service is good.

07/10/2026: A lovely pub with live music. We had delicious food and a variety of beers. We were thrilled, and the staff were very friendly and efficient. We'll definitely be back! 😘🍔🍻

07/10/2026: Highly recommended. Amazing atmosphere, great people.

21/08/2026: I was sent here by O’Connell’s as I was searching for Ed Sheeran. He was not here either. As I had traveled so far, I had a few pints, perhaps more than a few and finally did see Ed. Actually 3 of him. It was the last thing I remember. So overall, an excellent pub. Will return once the authorities release me 5* Cheers 🍻

14/08/2026: Great place nice outdoor patio with great music

17/09/2026: Had a great time here, food was excellent. We ordered the pancakes and the shakshuka. Both dishes were delicious. Great coffee too!

16/09/2026: We happened upon this place when dipping out of the rain, but were pleasantly surprised! The food was delicious, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. I’d recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!

18/09/2026: This is a local gem of a bakery. The owner uses Irish oats and innovative in his baking providing scrumptious traditional scones and bread, and gf oat scones that are moist and delicious. The bakery is in honor of the owners mother who was a grand baker. You will get a great coffee or tea, a filling bite and be welcome by wonderful owner and staff.

18/09/2026: Best Baker & hot chocolates in Galway!!

12/09/2026: These lads don't skimp on their food. Run of the mill chipper food but they go X2 on their portions

06/09/2026: Unbelievable food, first time I had their kebabs and I will only go here from now on. Service was unreal and everyone was so kind.

29/08/2026: We had a chicken burger and the homemade curry. The chicken burger was good, the chicken in the curry was chewy. The atmosphere was very good!

16/08/2026: Great bar. Lovely staff. We stayed upstairs in the top apartment which was class. Thanks to all

07/09/2026: Was looking forward to eating at this vegan restaurant but it was not worth it contrary to what the good reviews suggested. I ordered a curry noodle soup which arrived nearly cold. The cake was ok although quite dry and way to expensive at 7,50 or 8,50 a piece. The service was close to non-existant; one of the waitresses was extremly rude and made one feel very unwelcome. It literally felt like one eating in the restaurant, asking for a table to be seated or odering food via her was an inconvenience to her. Would not recommend eating here.

06/09/2026: The food was soo tasty. Huge selection of vegan desserts. The service was spot on

06/10/2026: Absolutely worth a visit! Great courtyard with live music.

05/10/2026: Friendship and laughter guaranteed...very friendly
