The best restaurants in Galway

27/10/2025: A great place for performances, very clear information signs, professional and attentive service.

02/12/2025: This bakery is absolutely fantastic! They have amazing pastries, a really cozy atmosphere, and super friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit!

28/11/2025: One of most full and delicious cinnamon rolls, wow. Vanilla cottage cheese pastry was also very good.

19/09/2025: Really nice DJ and good vibe also staff really friendly Highly recommended

06/08/2025: Fantastic cocktails and a great atmosphere. There is lots of seating in different areas throughout the space.

08/01/2026: A Galway classic you can always rely on The Cellar is a Galway staple and one of those places you know you can always depend on. It’s an old reliable in the best possible way. The food is consistently excellent, the portions are generous, and the prices are fair, which isn’t always easy to find anymore. Whether you’re dropping in for a casual meal or bringing someone who’s visiting Galway, it never disappoints. It’s been doing what it does well for years, and that consistency is exactly why it’s such a favourite. Proper comfort food, a solid pint, and great value.

04/01/2026: Classic pub... good service and good food

11/01/2026: Great staff, lovely food, and amazing rooms. Treated my daughter like royalty when they found out it was her birthday.

09/01/2026: Outdated and overpriced. This hotel is not worth ‘4 stars’. In my opinion, they have some neck to charge customers their prices. The signal is nearly non-existent on the first floor. I wasn’t acknowledged by staff at the table during breakfast - you have to ask them to bring you toast, heat up croissants/scones etc and order coffee separately as it’s not accessible at the buffet, plus there’s a price menu to pay for coffee even though I already paid for breakfast included in my room rate. I could go on and on, like the steam room wasn’t working and the button to release bubbles into the jacuzzi wasn’t functioning properly. The food was bland and lifeless. The only benefits were the gym as the equipment was a decent standard and free on-site parking. Do yourself a favour and save your money for another hotel.

16/01/2026: (Traducido por Google) El mejor burrito en galway. Siempre de excelente calidad y todos los ingredientes frescos, ¡felicidades! (Original) Il miglior burrito a galway. Sempre di ottima qualita e tutti ingredienti Freschi, complimenti!

30/12/2025: The food is hearty and very tasty! Friendly staff

28/12/2025: Welcoming atmosphere, highly qualified staff, very little waiting time. The pancakes are excellent, the hot chocolate is outstanding and comes with a super cute personalized design. Everyone is very friendly and helpful, but the Italian guy, Enrico, is truly exceptionally kind and courteous

18/12/2025: Top notch brunch and breakfast as well as coffee! Hands down best French toast experience I’ve had during my trip to Galway and probably ever! Flat white is on point and the value is great for portions. The smoothies are also excellent. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu!

16/01/2026: In Galway, the restaurant you are thinking of is likely Anfora Bistro & Café (often phonetically remembered as "Infora") or possibly Saffron Grill & Cafe, as they are both prominent Turkish spots in the city center known for their authentic charcoal grills. ​While many spots offer standard fries, the Saffron Rice (or buttery Turkish Pilav) is what elevates the meal. ​The Texture: Every grain is distinct, fluffy, and aromatic. ​The Pairing: The golden hue of the saffron rice provides a beautiful contrast to the vibrant red chili sauce and cool white garlic sauce that usually accompany the grill. It’s a comforting, savory base that ties the smoky chicken and fresh salad together.

15/01/2026: Absolutely love anforas! The food, atmosphere and service has always been very well for my family. Any food we have ordered over the years has been to the best quality.

30/12/2025: Nice old pub with a fireplace overlooking the Galway bay.

07/12/2025: Great little pub ..staff very friendly....good atmosphere 👌

30/12/2025: Worst place, worst atmosphere in Ireland 🫠 Cold, dusty and dirty, empty sadness. Also restroom is only for staffs, not for customers…

12/12/2025: Been going here for years for the chilli chips and can easily say it’s Michelin star worthy. However, I recently saw the business up for sale and noticed there are new staff. We recently got the chilli chips twice and it just wasn’t the same. I was so sad because it was such a good thing for so long. The mince wasn’t the same flavour and it tasted like it needed cooking for longer. I really hope they can achieve it the same way as it was as it truly was something spectacular!!!

20/10/2025: Great place. Good service. 100% recommended. Good option for a late bite.

13/10/2025: Very friendly service and absolutely delicious food and coffee. Just off Eyre Square, so excellent location to and from the many B&Bs on College Road.

31/10/2025: Called in here for lunch during the week, was seated and had my order in front of me within 10/15 minutes. Their toasted sandwich, chicken pesto sandwich and chips were all super delicious and extremely well priced. Highly recommend stopping in here if you're in Athlone and looking for a tasty and affordable meal.

26/10/2025: Lovely place with good food. This is downtown so of course you can have some problem with parking but it worth

16/01/2026: Amazing service, delicious food with decent portions and good value for money. Such a wide selection on the menu also, something for everybody. The lady serving us was brilliant will definitely be returning!

22/12/2025: Best place for food in Salthill, big servings and great prices Don't miss opportunity of best seafood chowder in Galway

03/11/2025: Walking through the rainy streets of Galway, we stumbled upon this cozy spot. It turned out to be a great find! My friend and I enjoyed a delicious hot chocolate and a smooth cappuccino, but the real highlight was the desserts — absolutely worth it.

02/11/2025: Great coffee and delicious simple food.

23/11/2025: The food is simply superb. Everything seems to be made to order, so is fresh. The kebabs are a delicious work of art. They even freshly bake the pita dough for the kebab. The chicken fillet burgers are amazing. Of course the chips are also spot on. I really wouldn't choose anywhere else in the area to eat. So its Two thumbs up from me and more if I had them!

15/11/2025: Don't let the bright colourful lights fool you the food is great!! Snack box is a very generous portion and the food never disappoints. Plus the staff are really friendly and great to support.
