Papa Rich
Galway
23/10/2026: Just wow!!! This place is wonderful, my husband and I still talking about those damn chicken wings. They were sooooo good.
Great food, wonderful people.
Highly highly recommend.
20/10/2026: Excellent food and excellent service! We had lunch at Mama Rich and tried the Tiga Rasa chicken and prawns. Both dishes were absolutely delicious, full of flavour and perfectly prepared. If you're Brazilian and missing a good rice-based meal, this is a great place to visit! We also enjoyed Asahi and Peroni beers. Friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere and a wonderful lunch in Galway. Highly recommended!

O'Connor's Famous Pub
Galway
19/10/2026: Stopped in a couple of nights while I was in Galway, once to get a drink and enjoy the atmosphere, and again since it was a chance to bring my kids in for a trad session. Loved that they got that opportunity, and I still got to enjoy myself to boot.

Monroe's
Galway
27/10/2026: Great pub. Food was good. Our waitress was great, and atmosphere was cozy and inviting.
24/10/2026: Honestly, I want to speek to the manager about the security. A guy fell, hit his head against the concrete and went unconscious and people were fighting to save him. And the security? Instead of helping to call an ambulance they were trying to lecture the people about getting him home earlier… That’s unbelievable I hope they lose there jobs I have no words for that.

O'Connell's
Galway
04/11/2026: So great trad music is a nice touch with doughbros right there.
01/11/2026: Do not miss out on going here it's a must . Walk through the pub to an hidden gem .
Has to be our best over the long weekend excellent Guinness. Infrared heaters all over outside. The little street over from the bar is quirky and we loved all the memorabilia in the toilet windows LOL.
There is also a pizza place outside in the back.So many people taking photos of the outside area it has to be seen.

The Secret Garden
Galway
20/10/2026: The cosy, multicultural and slightly messy vibe was perfect. We got the last two bowls of potato pea curry with all the toppings. Nicely spicy and filling.
18/10/2026: my favourite place is Galway, if there was heaters outside would be so much better!

Ruibin
Galway
18/10/2026: Had a fantastic meal, loved this place! Tuna tartare was to die for!
16/10/2026: The service was exceptional. Outstanding starters, snacks, and drinks. The €75 strip loin fell short however (was served medium, which perhaps is preferred to some, but we weren’t asked for a temp), as well as the halibut, which was a bit bland.

Salt House, menu
Galway
03/11/2026: Barman was a gent. We visited midweek during the day while walking around Galway with your little girl and our little dog. We stopped off in the Salt House for a couple of refreshing pints and the barman couldn't have been more friendly or helpful during our stop off. From helping us decide on a drink, to being fun and kind to our daughter... then to top iflt off he brought out a treat to our dog!
Great pub, proper old school pub vibe with cool decor!
30/10/2026: Great pub with really friendly & knowledgeable staff, fantastic selection of beers. I’d highly recommend!
