The best restaurants in Galway

27/09/2026: Not very clean and very noisy. Apart from that it's McDonald's.

19/08/2026: This restaurant is generally good and very clean, but I would prefer staff to give customers a little more space. I understand they must 'look' busy at all times, but that's not the same as genuinely being busy. Walking around simply to appear busy for the sake of it can make it difficult for customers to relax and enjoy a meal in peace. If management require staff to keep busy, it would be better for that time to be spent on things that genuinely need doing, rather than just looking busy.

03/11/2026: It's McDonald's. What do you want to hear? They're all the same!

01/11/2026: McDonalds of the last 2 to 3 years since they changed the food process its a hit and miss with food. Now a days its cold to mild and a burger with cheese is like its straight from the fridge not even warm.

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.

26/06/2026: It shouldn’t be legal to sell iced coffees that small

25/03/2026: Love getting coffee here it's ABIT of different cafe to visit.. always good spot to meet friends and chill out

12/10/2026: Best place for breakfast in this area! And they have ready-to-eat meals to take away (which I still have to try) 👀

28/09/2026: Truly awful. Latte was ok. NO plates in the building to put a cake on, given cake on paper bag. Cinnamon bun had no Cinnamon on and was tasteless. Told lattes would be brought over but was yelled at to go collect it. Pretend this is an ebola site...

29/09/2026: Overpriced terrible dry sandwiches

23/08/2026: Came across this place when we were in galway! Unreal cookies, never had anything like them and the sandwhiches were so tasty. I got the honey buffalo sandwhich.. recommend if in galway for sure.

12/06/2026: I bought an extra large box with salt n pepper, soy chicken and firecracker. The manager Sam cooked my friends and I a fresh batch of salt n pepper chicken cause the place was busy and the staff Yuki was so nice while taking the payment. The food felt like home, especially because I like slightly spicy food. Also, another time, Alison was very quick and wonderful while taking my order. Definitely going to visit for my break time lunch hour.

19/04/2026: I am regular customer, every time I find fresh cooked food, very clean display and workers always offer me some deal or suggest to try something new and they never get wrong. I'm happy that I can eat there when ever I like and I would not be diseppinted. 5/5 all the way!

24/10/2026: Pastries and coffee are genuinely worth a buy

24/10/2026: Here while waiting for a bus to the airport. Great coffee, great music, warm and comfortable with stunning decor. The staff seem so happy and are efficient and polite while dancing to the music. Lovely way to pass a cold stormy afternoon.

30/09/2026: Lovely service station with friendly staff

24/06/2026: Good location between city and Salthill. Good choice of sweets etc in shop. Kids love it...

07/11/2026: I have been here several times. Decent sushi. Staff are very pleasant. But I always get the feeling they are understaffed. Was there tonight. Only two wait staff on, and one was not taking orders (she had no english). It wasnt particularly busy but it took over an hour to get any food to our table. First 20 mins we sat there with nothing...not even a glass of water. Eventually we ordered our food. A glass of wine came 15mins later...then nothing til our sushi was ready. Theres zero atmosphere in there too so conversation ran out. After 70mins our food finally came. It was tasty but we had it all finished in 10 minutes. Didn't bother ordering anything else as it would probably take another hour. I left hungry and annoyed. We booked at 6.30 for a table at 7pm. At that point they would have known they were too busy for the staff they had on. They should not have taken the booking. Id say his was my 10th time there. And my last. Lesson learned! Oh...and it was my birthday too. Day ruined

11/10/2026: The ramen is absolutely delicious, and the mochi is really good too! The flavours taste authentic. The place has a lovely atmosphere, with relaxing music that makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

05/10/2026: What really topped off this place was the staff they were amazing and super nice. The food was good, I don’t know if the breakfast menu is their strong point but, it was good nonetheless.

20/09/2026: The place was not busy yet we waited for 10-15 minutes for no obvious reason. Loads of staff walking around not engaging with customers. We ordered two Acaii bowls. The price charged was €1 more per bowl than advertised. When I pointed this out the guy serving us said that he couldn’t change it. We said ok. Another server then came to make up the bowls. He didn’t engage with us at all. We paid for the large bowls but he didn’t fill them up. There was no fruit on one of them. When I pointed this out. The server just shrugged his shoulders. They have a lovely visual of an Acaii bowl on their website. It’s an expensive treat and what we got left a lot to be desired.

08/10/2026: Best service from Ivor ... superb lad ...he went inside for us for extra BBQ sauce.. great mindset....

05/10/2026: Really good place for quick bite with family while on the road.

25/10/2026: Waited too long just to be told that they only accept cash. Without any sign visible around.

24/10/2026: guys. no chilli means no chilli and not a whole chopped chilli hidden in my food!

06/09/2026: Great food and pleasant service

18/08/2026: Place has gone extremely down hill, went out for birthday meal and was just terrible experience. Was given cold food and sent it back to get a hot meal and was left for over 20 minutes for a fresh meal and when I asked the waiter where was my meal they had completely forgotten about it, which I can not understand as the restaurant was nearly empty. Female waitress was extremely rude. Overall terrible way to have a birthday celebration.. Male waiter was very nice and helpful.

04/10/2026: Wonderful local shop. Please go, it is a delight to shop there. Hate plastic packaging? How about buying your 'free from rubbish' food in brown paper bags! It feels so good.

05/08/2026: This community-led shop really punches above its weight! It sells so many great products - organic, locally produced and zero-waste. It's tucked away opposite Emmer Green Primary School near the 24 bus stop. Once I discovered it, I couldn't stay away. The staff and volunteers are really friendly and knowledgeable and there's always new products and delicious fresh produce available to try!
