The best restaurants in Galway

05/09/2026: It's a very nice place! They let you choose exactly what you want when it comes to the Japanese food. Although they also have a seafood menu and other options, the Japanese food is amazing! Don't skip the Temaki, it's massive and definitely worth the money. Expect to spend around €30-€40 per person.

23/08/2026: After passing through Killarney and Dingle, this was the best place we found on this stretch of coast to buy quality Irish oysters at a good price! You can also buy the knife to shuck them, and they even offer you the lemon. Plus, there's a sushi restaurant next door that we didn't get a chance to try, but given the quality of the fish at the shop, it can only be very good.

27/08/2026: Great place to stay. Easy check in process, parking and breakfast included, very friendly and helpful staff.

16/06/2026: Harry is a good lad, the rest of them im not too sure about. Harry is really handsome and his hands are soft like cream cheese. He pulls a good pint and runs a good quiz. Hi dad, harry.

13/09/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had a lovely brunch at Mocha Beans 37 and everything was great! We had the hot mocha and latte, along with the buttermilk chicken ciabatta and club sandwich. Everything was fresh, delicious, and really well prepared. The coffee was excellent, and the portions were satisfying. Great food, great coffee, and a lovely experience overall. Definitely worth a visit — we’ll be back! ☕️🥪

31/08/2026: This place has the best chocolate mousse ever! Hands down the finest. We also tried their pistacchio and raspberry cake, it was really yum too. This has to be one of your stops when you visit Galway.

15/10/2026: ★★★★★ What a wonderful experience from start to finish. The host was exceptionally welcoming towards us and make the kids feel very important , making everyone feel genuinely valued from the moment we arrived. Our waitress was absolutely lovely, warm, attentive and effortlessly professional. And the chefs clearly know their craft. Beautiful food, prepared with skill, care and a real understanding of Italian cuisine. It’s refreshing to find a restaurant where the hospitality is every bit as good as the food. A fantastic addition to Galway’s dining scene and somewhere we’ll certainly return to. Highly recommended!

12/10/2026: Its got the lot. Authentic... Simple. Get there. Tell them I send you.Top class...

15/08/2026: Came with a group of 10 — I’m celiac and when we asked if I could bring in outside food before we decided to stay here, a man behind the bar said yes. So we ordered drinks and I went to grab some food. I was sitting eating happily with my friends. And then a different worker came and kicked me out. She had no sympathy for the fact that we checked beforehand and were told it was okay. In the end she said I could sit outside. There were no seats available so had to awkwardly balance with my drink at some sort of area covered in bird shit. They finally brought me a stool while refusing to make eye contact and I was isolated from all the rest of my friends. It was super degrading and made me feel horrible 🥲

11/08/2026: We stopped in today for a couple of Irish coffees in this quirky old Irish pub with plenty of character. The atmosphere was lovely, and the staff were friendly, welcoming, and genuinely pleasant. Unfortunately, the Irish coffees were a bit of a let-down. My brother had never tried one before, so this was his first experience, and it wasn't the best introduction. The coffee wasn't sweet at all, and the alcohol was much more prominent than it should have been. In my opinion, it wasn't made quite right. I've had Irish coffees in plenty of places, and they're usually smooth, well-balanced, and easy to drink. It certainly wasn't terrible, but it was probably the weakest Irish coffee I've had, which was surprising for an Irish pub. That said, the excellent service and the pub's unique atmosphere still made for an enjoyable visit.
