The best restaurants in Galway

18/03/2025: Wines and charcuterie were amazing. This is one of those small little spots that will end up being your favorite.

08/03/2025: We absolutely loved our time at Trieste! Barry, the owner, was so friendly and emitted passion for his bar. From his charcuterie boards to vast collection of wines, he definitely made it a night we couldn’t forget. Definitely come by if you’re in Galway!

19/03/2025: Brilliant food, amazing staff and a nice vibe, food is just out of this world, can recommend the Mai Chixuan, drunken noodles, udon noodles, the duck was AMAZING, the starter grilled chicken salad was gorgeous. Definitely top 3 reasons to come to galway. Fully booked when we got there, but waited maybe 10 mins and was worth it.

28/03/2025: Gran experiencia, gran pizza, gran elección. Siempre una cola fuera de la puerta, personal amable, 11 / 10. ¡A mi sobrina le gustó mucho!

26/03/2025: Restaurante popular. No me esperaba comidas finas y manteles blancos, pero sí pensé que tenía demasiado ambiente de comida rápida. Me sentí apresurado al ver a la gente de pie esperando una mesa. La pizza era buena, pero no genial. Probablemente no volvería, pero parece ser muy popular, pero no para mí.

15/04/2025: Superb dinner with friends. Not only was the food excellent, the service was warm & friendly. Shout out to Ruby & our lovely waitress! We had the bread and butter (delicious butter btw), mussels, pork chop & risotto. All meals were outstanding. Dine in the snug room for a special event like a birthday celebration. Would easily return with a larger group.

15/04/2025: If I could give them 6 stars, I would. Took a day trip to Galway in search of seafood. We stopped at a restaurant for some oysters and prior to leaving our waitress recommended we head to Ard Bia for mussels, so we did! Holy cow—they were absolutely phenomenal!! The mussels were fresh, cooked to perfection, and the sauce they were in was incredible. The mussels basically melted in your mouth—something I’ll dream about for years to come. We followed our lunch with tea for two and coffee cake, both of which did not disappoint. The coffee cake was just sweet enough but not too much, and the caramel drizzled on top was chewy deliciousness—perfect with a nice cuppa. I hope to one day eat here again because it was as by far the best meal we have had on our two week journey.

06/04/2025: Typical Irish pub with live music and many Irish people and objects from all eras. Very curious

30/03/2025: Great music and fantastic, unrivalled atmosphere.

22/03/2025: We popped in for a drink and the DJ was fantastic. We a great night.

04/03/2025: I miss the Salt House. I had the greatest experience there when my wife and I visited. They have the most amazing craft beer selection, the people working there are so friendly, and I felt at home every time we went in. We ended up there every night we were in Galway. I can't wait to go back!

18/03/2025: Delicious food. Also gluten-free alternatives. The service was very good. It was pretty cold in the shop.

18/03/2025: ordered online some cauliflower wings and they were amazing and big portion for it’s price 🥰

02/04/2025: A really nice shop right in the city center. We were able to spend the entire afternoon there in the sunny weather. We enjoyed pleasant conversations and delicious beers at reasonable prices. I highly recommend a visit if you're in the area.

12/04/2025: Had the best time hanging out there listening to areas session. Fun vibe with both locals and tourists. Locals were super friendly and made us feel welcome. Music was amazing!

16/04/2025: Delicious flavors (the whiskey chocolate is a must have), & a cheerful and welcoming staff

13/04/2025: We opted for Murphy's because it was the only ice cream parlor still open after dinner, which struck us as odd since it was only 8 PM and there were large crowds, particularly of young adults—ideal for an ice cream shop. Upon entering, it quickly became evident that this establishment is renowned for its high-quality ice cream and excellent treatment of its staff, which we truly appreciated. I never imagined I would enjoy bread in my ice cream—it sounds like a terrible mix—but it turned out to be the best ice cream I've ever tasted, and the chocolate whiskey flavor was simply divine. For those with allergies: I’m from Canada and have had a severe cow's milk allergy my entire life. If I consume anything with milk, I need lactaid immediately! However, during my time in Ireland, I found that I could drink milk without any adverse effects. In fact, since returning home, I've been craving Irish milk! So, if you have any dairy sensitivities, rest assured you’ll be fine. Make sure to visit Murphy's Ice Cream while in Galway; you’ll definitely regret it if you miss out! My only suggestion for improvement is regarding their payment system—it was a bit confusing. I nearly left without paying because I mistakenly thought I had completed the transaction, only to realize I had only tapped the tipping machine, which is separate. It would be beneficial for the shop to combine transaction types into one machine. Additionally, be prepared for higher prices, as it’s definitely on the touristy side, but the quality and flavor make it worth every penny.

10/04/2025: Live music and non-alcoholic drink options, whats not to like.

29/03/2025: Perfect place for crack. Owner mike a decent and funny guy.real pub. Made to feel like home local pub even though I come from limerick.alway go there when I go to Galway .give it a go you won't be disappointed
