The best restaurants in Galway

18/09/2025: Take away food was pretty basic

18/09/2025: Fresh and delicous food! Nice and fast Service.

20/09/2025: Great cosy neighbourhood wine & cheese bar. Enjoyed lovely wine & fab cheeseboard. The host Barry is very knowledgeable & knows how to cater to his customers. Will definitely be back. Carol

20/09/2025: Stopped in on a Wednesday night for a cheeseboard and wine for two. The prices were very reasonable, and the owner, Barry, was both knowledgeable and helpful. A great little spot.

11/12/2025: From the delicious food to the friendly team working at the restaurant, everything was perfect.

08/12/2025: The best vegetarian burger ever!!!

15/11/2025: Often really busy, there is a long line up here around dinner time, so go early if you can! Really good pizza, nice wood fired crust and toppings, it has a really good sauce. The hot honey with pepperoni was fantastic, would definitely recommend. There are gluten free options as well if people need it.

14/11/2025: Have visited this place 7-8 times now. It is just amazing. The pizzas are great. My favorite is the Hail Ceaser Pizza. The ambiance is nice and perfect for a meal with friends and family. Would highly recommend this place to must-try when in Galway.

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

26/11/2025: Great Guinness, good music, layout of the pub is a bit weird but really nice, do recommend!

26/11/2025: My wife and I were visiting Ireland and this place was amazing. They live Irish music. With a few a cappella’s from the audience, which was awesome. Service was absolutely on point. The Guinness is flowing super good. I definitely highly recommend visiting this bar whenever in Galway great job team keep up the spirit and great service.

06/12/2025: Amazing food and even more amazing staff! They were super kind and still let us order pasta even though their kitchen had closed 10 minutes prior. My partner and I ordered the penne averno and fettuccini Luigi, and it was the best meal we had during our stay in Galway! We also ordered a slice of pepperoni pizza because it looked too good to pass on. Would recommend!!!

03/12/2025: 11 years ago, eating here made us feel less homesick... Today, it's still great. One of the best pizzerias you can find outside of Italy.

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 .

05/12/2025: This is absolutely the best. The food is superb, the tastes, flavours, presentation, and portion size is perfect. The staff are happy, so friendly and nice. The bar and restaurant are gorgeous, warm, comfortable, and the music.. we loved it. We stayed until closing, why move. Where could be better. If I lived in Galway id be there every week. We got the inexpensive options..... under 20euro main course..... can you imagine what the 25 and 30 euro options taste like. The wine gin beer flowed, so we spent a good bit more ..

30/11/2025: I heard about this restaurant from a blogger. It was very good! I had the mussels (like the blogger recommended) and my husband had the fish and chips. Both dishes were very big and delicious! Prizes were very reasonable too. Service was a little slow at the bar but the place was packed for lunch at that time. Definitely get reservations since we barely were able to find a table at 2 pm.

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.

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.

17/12/2025: We tried the chocolate whiskey one. It was nice, but not worth the money. If you're looking for an experience, many places in Scotland will satisfy you more.

16/12/2025: Nicest hot chocolate in Galway Big shout out to the girl who made it didn’t get her name but she made the experience!

21/10/2025: Came to have a pint and listen to tradition music but we're disappointed to find that the upstairs was full and it wasn't made clear online that the trad music was only certain times so we missed the show

17/09/2025: Great for some trad live music but have to get there early. Couldn’t even enter on Saturday but luckily got there early Sunday to get a spot.

01/12/2025: Food was amazing, staff were all so nice and friendly. Highly recommended!

08/11/2025: I had a beautiful gluten free pasta dish in Osteria de Simone. The helpful staff explained that almost all dishes could be made gluten free. They would use gluten free penne pasta for the dish. I ordered Mare e Monte and it was gorgeous. Prawns and mushrooms in a creamy parmesan sauce. A gluten free sign was in the dish to ensure that the correct dish went to the correct person. Great for a coeliac to see care like that taken. Thank you!

21/11/2025: Good staff good food good music. Really good restaurant and the pizzas are great

21/11/2025: Great experience and Ramis was amazing! Thank you for great food and service
