The best restaurants in Galway

28/09/2025: Staff are always friendly and Guinness is great. Great price for a Guinness. Great pub for the local neighborhood.

11/08/2025: Lovely place to get a pint friend recommended me here as he comes often and spend his job seekers allowance here 10/10 would come again photo below is him

22/05/2026: Doesn't karaoke sound like a fun activity for Hens and Stags? I thought so. If you thought so too, well...UNO REVERSE. NO SILLY SINGING FOR YOU. FUN ACTIVITY DENIED. Hens and Stags, Massimo does not want your money. We (a group of 10) tried to drop in for karaoke night as part of a pre-wedding crawl, and we were promptly kicked out because they "don't do hen parties." I was very confused, and truly thought this was a joke when the bartender told us to kick rocks. We did not enter loudly or obnoxiously, and were not looking for them to "do" anything but trade some pints for euros and endure some off-key songs. Maybe the folks at Massimo are perfectly nice and have been traumatized to the point of PTSD by screeching packs of bridesmaids. Maybe they actually can't handle more than 10 people at a time. (We would have doubled the clientele at 8pm on a Thursday, had we been allowed to stay.) Maybe they hate joy and want to keep all of their advertised karaoke to themselves. I don't know. And if you are hens or stags traveling in a pack larger than two or three, neither will you. Because they don't want you there, and they will ask you to leave.

26/04/2026: The worst bar in Galway, never will I enter there again, aggressive bouncers, beer taste pour, avoid this place. Bouncers are agreeive and bad people. Bouncers are very touchy!!!!!

24/05/2026: 3 of us arrived for lunch. Place was very busy. For some reason our order didn't make it to the kitchen and we waited for ages. However, staff couldn't have been better. They apologised, food arrived and was excellent. Good save.

13/05/2026: Great staff and service. Coffe is ok. Unfortunately, the food portions have decreased in size and quality☹️

11/07/2026: Very friendly personal. Sushi were delicious...honestly the fishs were rly tasty. Atmosphere here were nice. Toilets are included.

29/06/2026: OMG I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Anime themed (Studio Ghibli) sushi bar???? YES!!!!! Food is amazing!! 💙💙💙

21/05/2026: Hotel is large with multiple restuarants and meeting spaces. Great for tour groups. Great location and nice staff. Decor feels tired and worn. We had a spacious standard room but if felt old.

05/08/2026: Lovely cosy cafe with delicious food fabulous home cooked bakery goods, gorgeous coffees, plenty of choice for soft drinks and juices and friendly staff. Beef burger, chicken burger, pasta and great bakes were all delicious

04/08/2026: We arrived around 12:30 pm; it was very busy, but we only waited 5 minutes for a table. The order was processed quickly and the food was decent. However, we waited a long time to pay because the servers were running around and it was a bit chaotic. The atmosphere was friendly, the servers were nice, but the restaurant was very noisy.

18/07/2026: Overpriced poorly made cocktails served by the rudest staff you could encounter. A place that fancies itself as hip but is just lowbrow

30/06/2026: Quaint and friendly. Great choice of Vino...

01/07/2026: We order food.waiter make us confused. And deliver wrong food.

24/06/2026: Friend and I went to have lunch before a movie he got a lunch box and a got a pizza meal, first my pizza took 13 minutes to get and the chips lukewarm when I got them, second, in my friend's lunch box one piece of chicken was raw, the workers were very nice and gave him a new one. I love a supermacs but this was a bit underpar

11/07/2026: Good food though takes time to be served. Pleasant staff.

27/06/2026: I am so glad this place exists in Galway, the chicken paratha rolls are yummm the price the quality 👌

14/07/2026: Love King Ding. Best Chinese by far.

14/07/2026: This is my favorite Chinese! Best in Galway! Fantastic food and very kind!

30/11/2025: As an American born "Flaherty," of course I look for any Irish pub called Flaherty's anywhere in the world. I have found them from Barcelona to Cusco, Peru and enjoyed them all, but PJ Flahertys is surely the original that set the standard. The atmosphere is charming, the staff delightful, and the Guiness is perfect. Even better, I was thrilled to meet the owner and fellow "Flaherty." To my Irish cousin, thank you for your warmth and hospitality. You were a highlight of the trip. I will be back to Ireland, Galway and PJ Flaherty's!

27/11/2025: A neighborhood pub atmosphere with its regulars. Quiet because it's the beginning of the week.

18/03/2026: The room was great and the included breakfast was fantastic! Also a perfect location for a one night stopover to fully enjoy the Latin Quarter. However, the check-in experience really dampened our enthusiasm. Expecting Galway would be busy for St Patrick's weekend, a few months ago we researched hotel rates and reserved at HH's "special offer" at the time, €199/night. Definitely higher than every other city/town on our 2 week trip, but assumed high season in a city. Waiting in line at check-in though, two separate parties of walk-in/no reservations ahead of us were offered the current special of almost 50% less, €105. When we asked if we could switch to this rate, we were told this was not possible, we would have had to cancel our existing reservation 48 hours in advance and then re-book at the current offer rate. The only option was being upgraded to a larger room. We had not paid for the room yet, and the reservation was directly through the hotel, not a 3rd party booking site. Very disappointing initial impression of an otherwise enjoyable visit.

14/03/2026: I booked at the very last minute on the bus when I arrived in Galway, and what a wonderful surprise! Everything was absolutely perfect from beginning to end. I was greeted by a very kind young lady whose name I unfortunately forget, and then Paige took over and looked after everything with incredible care. Truly exceptional service. The room was magnificent, incredibly quiet, soft, and comfortable. The bottle of Prosecco included in my package was a thoughtful and much-appreciated touch. As for the bed… simply heavenly! The hotel is ideally located right in the city center, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The breakfast was absolutely fantastic! All the staff are smiling, welcoming, and very professional. And for such quality, the price is very reasonable. I recommend this establishment 2000% and sincerely hope to have the opportunity to return someday. A huge thank you to the entire team!

17/07/2026: I'm often in Galway for business, and frequently come here. I have spent a lot of time in Malaysia, and the food is excellent, with a pretty authentic taste, which is surprising for Europe. However, I have detected the same pastes being used on Char Kway Teow, and Nasi Goreng, whis should taste different. Not exactly cheap, but worth it for me. Dishes with the chilli symbol are quite spicy, which is correct.

14/07/2026: Great food with great ambience near the university 🙌 Ramen is a must try 🍜 The waiting staff Sam served us very well.

24/07/2026: Currently the only kfc in Galway loved it!! 🍗

18/07/2026: Helpful and friendly staff! 👏 They have a lovely selection of new dips and Jalapeño ranch is the best!! Must try this out! 😋🔥🌶️

16/06/2026: Fantastic food and outstanding customer service. The burgers tasted amazing, and everything was served fresh and hot. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and a great place to enjoy a meal with family or friends.

09/06/2026: The food was absolutely delicious, with juicy burgers and fresh ingredients. The service was fast and professional, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The place itself is clean, comfortable, and has a great atmosphere. Highly recommended!
