The best restaurants in Galway

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

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

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.

21/09/2025: Amazing atmosphere. Fantastic service. I loved the unique way they do seating. You line up, order and pay at the counter, then sit down to get your order. Much more efficient for the wait staff. Also, they somehow turn tables so quickly, it's not a long wait time despite the long lineup. The food is *delicious*. I got the Stinger with the candied jalapeno dip. I was visiting Galway from out of country for 3 days. I planned to do tourist stuff in day and try different restaurants during the night. I ended up going to Dough Bros all 3 nights 😅. Will miss it. Amazing!

21/09/2025: A fantastic pizza. Every topping on it was perfectly balanced. The dough was soft and chewy.

12/10/2025: Had a really good night here .food was amazing . Service was very good especially our server fianche she was very polite and helpful

11/10/2025: Matthew was an Amazing server. Chatty and Helpfull. 5 ⭐️

18/09/2025: Walking into this cool bar feels like stepping back in time, and it's really neat. You can't help but notice the abundance of trinkets and antiques adorning every surface, even the ceiling. The selection of local beers on tap is nice to have offering a taste of the region. The traditional music was interesting but was slow at times. Something more upbeat would have been nice. This place offers a cozy and memorable experience. Beers around 8 euros, cocktails around 13 i believe.

12/09/2025: Devine Guinness, great music, lovely owners.

30/09/2025: Great time, great session outside

22/09/2025: A great place to meet and drink.

10/10/2025: Yummy, homey, and great service. Book in advance. We entered really by mistake looking for dinner, and the place was full. I ordered number 19: steamed ink pasta with tomatoes and garlic. And it was 9/10. Service was kind.

09/10/2025: This is a top notch Italian restaurant, authentic dishes, freshly made and delicious. Excellent choice of Italian wines and beer as well.

17/09/2025: We were able to reserve a table for dinner quite spontaneously. The atmosphere is casual and cozy, the servers are very friendly and helpful, and the food tastes truly wonderful! Each dish was very well thought out and delicious in every way. My husband immediately took the cookbook with him afterward because he liked it so much. We definitely recommend eating here and will definitely be back!

16/09/2025: A cozy space with magnificent food and lovely, charming service. One of the best breakfasts I’ve had in years - decades even.

30/09/2025: A fun evening with excellent live music. The atmosphere is so fun — we had a great time!

28/09/2025: Bar with a great atmosphere and musicians playing traditional Irish instrumental music. Every evening different bands and instruments.

17/09/2025: I loved this bar. The oysters were divine. I slurped them down and when one fell on the floor I still ate it! I can’t stop talking about this place to people on my outer circle. I would never recommend to friends and family though because I like to be on the “IN” and prefer for them to be on the “OUT”. This is a dynamic that works for all of us.

12/09/2025: We went to Ruibin for a date night and had a great experience. We ordered a couple of "tapas" dishes and shared 5 betweent the two of us.

07/09/2025: I absolutely love this pub. Just back after two nights in Galway. I spent both evenings here. I had to get back since my last visit at Christmas 2023. Michael was his brilliant and usual welcoming self as was Fiona. They found time to chat as busy as they were with myself and my wife. If I could live there, this really would be my local. Thank you guys for making our visit so memorable. Much love from Paul and Heather.

05/09/2025: Great small pub with awesome live music.

05/10/2025: Amazing dining experience!! Highly recommended!!

05/10/2025: The booking process at Brasserie on the Corner was smooth and hassle-free. They were very prompt in replying when I asked to move our reservation to an earlier time ,great customer service from the start. We arrived a bit early and waited briefly, which was totally fine. A gentleman ( believe his name was Rory), kindly guided us to our table. Our server, Neil, was incredibly welcoming and accommodating throughout. I had mentioned in advance that it was my daughter’s birthday, and when I reminded Neil, he didn’t miss a beat. They gave her a lovely surprise, complete with the team singing Happy Birthday and presenting a dessert beautifully plated with “Happy Birthday” written on it. It truly made the moment extra special. Huge thanks to Neil and the team! The food was absolutely delicious. We skipped the starters as we had eaten earlier at a café, but the mains were superb, cooked perfectly and full of flavour. The ambience was spot on,cozy and relaxing. I had requested a quiet, private table, and they granted that perfectly. Everything from service to food to atmosphere was just top-notch. I’m genuinely super impressed with this restaurant. 😍👌 Highly recommended for special occasions or just a quality dining experience in Galway!

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.

15/09/2025: Everyone is family at the Crane! The music is magical!

10/10/2025: The gelato is quite good if you choose the whiskey or other liqueur flavors, as the others are bland and a bit washed out. They're nothing like Italian gelato, and considering that a small gelato with two tiny scoops costs €6.50.

07/10/2025: Called in on Saturday evening with friends and had a wonderful time. Pints were fresh and tasty. Service was brilliant. Smashing pub!

22/09/2025: Super delicious pizza, fast and friendly service, crispy dough, fresh toppings—definitely worth a visit!

20/09/2025: My mother-in-law has Parkinson’s, so she has some mobility issues. We brought her to Ireland because it was on her “bucket list”. We’ve had a great time, but her mobility issues were often a hindrance. That is, until we showed up to Woozza. Before I go on, the food is outstanding and appropriately priced. I want that to be clear. But what surprised us was that for the first time during our visit my mother-in-law felt like a person more than she felt like a burden. She was treated with a level of reverence and respect I had not seen in seven days of visiting Ireland. We were not able to catch her name, but the waitress was amazing and unexpectedly kind. I wish I had a way to thank her more. On top of all of that, the food was absolutely amazing. I cannot recommend this place more and I wish I had a way to show them the depth of my gratitude.
