The best restaurants in Galway

11/10/2026: Unfortunately chicken was overcooked and dry.

10/10/2026: We had a lovely evening! The food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The service was excellent, and the whole team was very kind and attentive. We’ll definitely be coming back! ❤️

07/09/2026: I had a great experience at 56 Central in Galway! The staff were really nice, friendly, and managed everything very well, even during the busy times. The restaurant was quite busy with tourists, but the service was still well organised. The food was amazing overall. I had the Irish breakfast, and everything was delicious, although the bacon was a little overcooked for my taste. The burger, however, was absolutely amazing! If you’re visiting Galway, I definitely recommend stopping by 56 Central. It’s a busy and popular spot for tourists, and for good reason. A must-visit when you’re in Galway! 🇮🇪🍔

Highly recommended!

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.
