The best restaurants in Galway

19/12/2025: A welcoming and cosy cafe, with great drink and food options. Friendly staff too. A lovely find, thank you... 😊

27/11/2025: Coffee was good. Service excellent- very friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere. Unrushed

28/10/2025: Only called in for a brew but the atmosphere was friendly. Nice bar.

03/08/2025: Served a great fresh pint of Guinness.the best that I ever had.Great Staff. A place to relax,have a pint and enjoy the view of the Bay. Well recommened.

03/01/2026: Lovely friendly waiter and nice atmosphere. The wine was very good as well as the garlic bread with mozzarella! They have a great Italian playlist in the background that sets a good vibe.

30/11/2025: Maybe one of the worst italian food experiences I ever had. I went for classical Sicilian dish - Pasta Alla Norma. And it was more than disappointing. Use of garlic and strong garlic taste is key in this dish, I am afraid I did not taste any of it at this place. Also I as I noticed egg plants were not deep fried before adding the to the sauce, and there were no any fried onces on the top either. My friend’s lasanga was as miserable as my pasta dish. Staff were indifferent and bit rude, I assume that is how they wanted to create Italian kinda vibes there. Maybe good idea would be starting with the food’s taste though.

08/01/2026: Excellent location, beside Latin Quarter, overlooking the water, stroll to Eyre Square, shops and Public transportation. Lovely breakfast. Highly Recommend.

06/01/2026: Very good location. Nice and clean rooms. Parking right next to the hotel

19/10/2025: Fun local pub and live music venue. A highlight of our visit in Galway. Went in for one pint - stayed for four

29/09/2025: A very cool venue, the staff were all proper sound and the atmosphere was great. If you're a cider drinker, they sell Cronin's, so I'd recommend you ask for that.

17/12/2025: Nice compact cafe,good food and staff.

04/11/2025: Nice café. One small change which would make it stand out above the other noisy cafes of the city would be to turn the radio off.

22/10/2025: We arrived on bikes for one night. Enjoyable check in and good chat with Reception team. Walking distance to the pubs and club. Used the Leisure Centre for the recovery next AM. Breakfast was great. Will definitely go back.

21/10/2025: Hotel bar, Coopers, isn’t great. Friendly enough but No Galway beer on tap. When I asked, the bartender had to check the taps to see!!?? Obviously not experienced staff. Hotel also pretty run down, but safe and clean. Staff good

02/01/2026: Such a cute coffee spot lovely view and incredible music choices 💜

06/12/2025: Great location, good food. Sadly the customer service is shocking. You could wait for ever for to order. Best to go to the counter after a 5-10 min wait for the menu. It’s not easy to order extra coffee or tea as the staff do not make eye contact, disappear and fail to check back with you. There are better places to visit in Galway. Hopefully the customer service will improve over time.

29/11/2025: We live locally in the area and we tried this restaurant for the first time yesterday. All three of us ordered vegan dishes. These were the best pasta dishes we have ever eaten. I ordered the beetroot pesto which was delicious. Even the vegan cheeses they used were very good. It was so nice to see so many vegan options available. We will definitely go there again.

29/11/2025: Only ate at the restaurant, it's soooo good. Highly recommend. I think this is my fourth time here, gonna keep coming back.

26/07/2025: Still excellent, Delores runs a very good operation. Still no breakfast but lots of nearby options.

20/11/2025: I ordered the smoked salmon sandwich for €9, and what arrived was an existential culinary challenge. This wasn't a sandwich; it was a treasure hunt. I spent the first five minutes gently moving the beautiful, vibrant red onion slices aside, whispering, "Where are you, my pink prince?" I finally located the salmon: three slivers, shivering nervously, doing their best to hide beneath the cheese. I think the kitchen staff used an electron microscope to measure the portion. I'm giving it two stars because the bread was cut into two very generous slices, and the red onions were truly exceptional. If you're looking for a delightful onion sandwich with a whisper of fish, this is your spot. If you want salmon, bring your own fishing gear.

17/11/2025: Excellent cafe. Delicious food and yummy coffee. We have lovely vegan soup and a sandwich.

21/11/2025: Such beautiful warm friendly staff with great coffee, brighten up your day with kindness
