The best restaurants in Galway

12/04/2026: The place is nice, the food is delicious, and the service from the waiters is very good.

10/04/2026: Service was excellent, so friendly. Food was delicious. Highly recommend

11/04/2026: I went there for my anniversary the food was amazing, our server Aishlinn was so polite and friendly. The atmosphere was absolutely amazing. I would 100% come back and told all my friends and family to check it out.

10/04/2026: Came for the burgers with a GF bun, and they exceeded our expectations! Very chill spot, great staff (thanks Matthew!), excellent vibes.

21/03/2026: Great and fast service, many vegan options, big well flavored portions

19/03/2026: Just a great little find. One flight of stairs up and you’re in for a treat. The staff is warm and friendly. Our server picked out the roti as a starter for us and it was amazing. The decor is simple and elegant with beautiful paintings on the walls reflecting the heritage of their dishes. They close at 9pm so don’t leave it too late. 3 people, 2 drinks, 1 starter and 3 entrees added up to €65. Great value for great food. Right in the heart of downtown Galway.

18/04/2026: The Kimchi brunch was outrageous.

18/04/2026: The brunch was really really tasty, gorgeous setting, lovely staff

07/04/2026: Went for dinner and the food was decent, nothing outstanding. To start we got the prawns, croquettes and donuts all were good but a little underwhelming. The main dishes were all delicious. The sea bass and trout en croute were so good, lots of flavor and the vegetables cooked perfectly. Also had a bite of the feather blade and was shocked by how well cooked it was. So flavorful but melts in your mouth. We tried all the desserts across our whole party and the best were by far the Celeriac and the miso caramel. The others were not great but those two are worth it. Drink service was very slow, our starters coming out before the first round. But the overall service was very attentive and friendly. This place is definitely worth it if you order correctly! Also have heard their brunch is the real showstopper so keep that in mind.

06/04/2026: Busy day but short wait, they got us in right away. Excellent food, staff, and service. Highly recommend!

04/03/2026: The best pub with the best music! An unforgettable place. It's packed on weekends, but we love the atmosphere.

28/02/2026: One of the best if not the best in Galway! Live music , pint self served and everything else is history!

19/12/2025: Warm friendly welcoming pub offering live music 7 nights a week. Doesn't serve food.

10/12/2025: I loved it. Absolutely beautiful and the Christmas decorations were fantastic. I've heard that Ed Sheeran filmed the music video for "Galway Girl" here. I don't know for sure, but I've heard it's a popular meeting place for artists. Whether that's true or not, I really enjoyed it and I recommend it.

21/03/2026: It was great service, atmosphere, and I enjoyed their own lager as well. Yet, the pizza was nothing special and too sweet for what I would have expected.

20/03/2026: It was a cute place ! Worth a visit, not the best pizza I’ve ever had but still great!! Garlic sauce was amazing though

15/04/2026: Such good ice cream! We were greeted by a wonderful individual who offered us a taste of anything we would like! Def would recommend if your looking for a little sweet. Flavours were fun and unique

08/04/2026: SO GOOD. I don’t get ice cream very often. The flavors sound a little niche for me, but every one that I tried was the perfect amount of flavor, creamy, and delicious. Irish cream lacked a little flavor but was still delicious, peanut butter, and sea salt were extremely good. I’d be back if we were staying another night in Galway. Staff are laid back, chill, friendly, offer excellent recommendations, and are extremely efficient in getting samples while you’re waiting in line. They aren’t pushy and open to your trying any number of samples. If there is a line, it’s worth the wait!

29/03/2026: Lots of beer choices and live music!

24/03/2026: The pub's strength lies in its beer selection (several Belgian beers are on the menu). However, the smell and hygiene are not its strong points.

23/03/2026: Super cozy little place with really good pizzas (fantastic bases) Would definitely recommend❤️

22/03/2026: Fantastic service, the lady who served us was brilliant. Was kind enough to take our picture and very kind. Always a great experience coming in here and consistently amazing pizza. Atmosphere was great tonight as well and great music that put a smile on everyone’s face.

14/10/2025: Very nice cafe, good atmosphere and warm welcome. Hearty and very good breakfast as well as drinks.

14/10/2025: Great cafe with a very chill atmosphere. The breakfast was delicious 😁

23/03/2026: One of the best spots in Galway! Lovely staff and exceptional food! Make sure to grab their Ham and Cheese toastie!

21/03/2026: The chicken shawarma is one of the best meals I have ever had. So unbelievably tasty!

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.

06/04/2026: Excellent Italian restaurant in Galway. 100% recommended.

30/03/2026: Unbelievable, the tiramisu was the best one I have ever had in my life. And I’ve eaten lot of them. Service was good waiters seemed pretty busy place was full on a Monday night.
