The best restaurants in Galway

10/06/2026: It’s easily the best Italian restaurant in Galway I love this place and its vibes and the people :)

05/06/2026: Best italian food in town, my favourite!

29/06/2026: I cannot recommend Trieste enough! The food is always top quality and the wine is amazing. Barry and the team provide incredible service, especially with his knowledge of wine pairings with cheese. Always a 10/10 experience.

29/06/2026: What a lovely little place, great ambiance, fabulous food and such a warm and friendly welcome from our host Barry. We ordered the classic Trieste sharing board for 2 with a side of veggie sticks and hummus followed by the sweet Trieste board. The meats and cheeses were all wonderful and were perfectly complemented by the selection of little extras. If we return to Galway, we’ll definitely be back, thank you 😊

17/06/2026: The most delicious water what I have ever drunk. I totally recommend this place to any thirsty person

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.

18/05/2026: Wonderful ice-cream and the staff is killing it💅 Will definitely come back for more.

17/05/2026: the two girls I spoke to were the most lovely staff EVER & the ice cream was delicious!! I 100% recommend!

06/07/2026: Disappointing, fry was less expensive than a small breakfast burger and had to pay extra for an egg. Seating uncomfortably close to next table. Coffee was late. Staff very pleasant however.

06/07/2026: I found this place while deciding where to have brunch during my day trip to Galway. To start with the conclusion, the staff were very friendly and nice, but I should have ordered the Eggs Benedict or pancakes instead. I was debating between the Mushroom and this one, but since it came with a poached egg, I ordered this one. It was really tasty, but the egg was really, really bad. The yolk was a runny yolk that was almost fully cooked, and the egg white had a chewy texture due to the egg white skin, which wasn't good at all. The fries were just okay. The cutting was also poor, and they were fluffy, so if you're planning to order the mushroom toast, I think ordering a drink is a must! I saw some Korean reviews and decided to visit. I really loved the service—it was warm and thoughtful. But the food was a bit disappointing… Did I expect too much? 🥹 The poached egg wasn’t really poached—the yolk was almost fully cooked. That said, the mushrooms were nutty and had a really nice texture. I actually enjoyed that part.ᐟ.ᐟ They(on review) had eggs Benedict with bacon, I think! If you want to try something, go for it—or get the pancakes 🥞

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.

12/06/2026: The food here was delicious. A casual local dining experience. Pretty prompt service.

11/06/2026: Lovely staff and delicious burger. Vegetarian and vegan options available which is a plus. House sauce is okay. Garlic Aioli is excellent.

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.

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.

08/07/2026: We had a wonderful evening at Brasserie on the Corner. The mussels in cream sauce with spring onions and bread were excellent. The fish and chips were also perfectly cooked. My girlfriend had the seafood chowder and a salad and was equally delighted. Everything was fresh and delicious, and the service was friendly. We'll definitely be back!

08/07/2026: I got a burger and fries and a desert. It was very good. It was one of the best restaurants I have been to in my life. - Leon (8 years old)

03/07/2026: Nice full irish breakfast. Seating filled up very quickly. Popular with the locals. No access for wheelchairs.

02/07/2026: I actually gasped when I saw the prices. You'd get much larger portions for better value in many other places near by. I feel sorry for tourists who wouldn't know any better. We were still there for 15 mins after being seated with no sign of anyone coming to take our order. We ended up handing menus back and leaving.

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.

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!

19/05/2026: Fun Irish Pub! We enjoyed the music.

17/05/2026: What a quaint pub. The service was fast with a great selection. The decor is ecclectic and fun with lots of old school charm. The trad music was great. And bonus points for not a single TV!!

26/05/2026: We have been at this lovely cafe in Salthill quite a few times already and we always had a really good time. The food is superb and always leaves you wanting more.

20/05/2026: I came in this morning and there was a young lad serving, I was still half asleep, he greeted me with smile, helped me to order my breakfast, very pleasant manner. The food was delicious too, what a great start to my day! Thank you.
