The best restaurants in Galway

05/08/2025: The best iced matcha I've had on my whole trip. Costs a pretty penny though.

09/07/2025: Lovely coffee shop. Nice staff.

31/10/2025: Excellent croissants. A quick but delicious breakfast.

17/10/2025: There is such an amazing selection of pastries and treats! The prices are so affordable. The staff were really nice and friendly. The perfect place to stop for a perfect quick breakfast.

16/10/2025: Good location and great range of drinks Self service Drinks are just fine

01/09/2025: The price of takeaway cappuccino made with soya milk very very expensive here ridiculous

22/03/2026: Unbelievable chicken fajita wrap!

17/03/2026: I like this place but it's not a 5/5 spot for me. Good solid dishes, but not amazing.

15/02/2026: A simple order in theory. In practice? Three items forgotten, two missing, and you still pay, never knowing what you’ll end up with!

07/02/2026: I am very dissapointed , one of the workers called me a knacker when i was ordering. I could see him spitting in my food in the back. When i recieved my burger , not only was there spit inside , i also found a pube.

28/11/2025: Has obviously changed with new owners but not for the better. Restaurant size is reduced for the inclusion of a bakers shop. Walls are now bare. The menu and choice has somewhat shrunk. Sorry not changed for the better. Left feeling disappointed that the must have breakfast in Donegal town is no more. NOW PERMANENTLY CLOSED.

09/10/2025: Great food and atmosphere at Dock 84! 🍴☕️ We stopped into Dock 84 while in Donegal Town and had a really enjoyable experience. The place has a relaxed, modern vibe with plenty of space to sit back and enjoy a meal. Staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome right away. 😊 I ordered the grilled chicken burger 🍔🐔 and it was excellent — the chicken was juicy and perfectly cooked, with fresh toppings and a soft bun that held everything together nicely. It was filling without being too heavy, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. My wife went for the waffle with a spread of Nutella 🧇🍫 and it was a real treat. The waffle was light and fluffy with just the right crisp on the outside, and the Nutella made it indulgent without being over the top. A perfect sweet option to balance out my savory choice. The second time we went we had egg shakshuka and Tikka wrap which was good again as usual One of the highlights here is that Dock 84 has its own bakery products 🥐🍞, and they are absolute delights — fresh, tasty, and clearly made with care. It’s a lovely bonus alongside the main menu. Do note that there’s usually a wait time of around 15 minutes ⏳ throughout the day, but honestly, the food and atmosphere make it worth it. For convenience, there’s a car park directly in front of the café 🚗, though it is a paid one 💳, so keep that in mind if you’re driving in. Service was quick once seated, prices were fair 💶, and the location is ideal if you’re exploring Donegal Town 🏞️. Whether you’re after a hearty bite or something sweet, Dock 84 is a spot worth visiting. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in town! 🙌

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.

27/01/2026: Very friendly stadium. Easy to get around and use the facilities.

15/12/2025: There was a table quiz on between races so difficult to follow betting before racing

01/10/2025: Definitely worth a visit when you are in Salthill.

24/09/2025: Lovely and relaxing. Staff were lovely. Food came out quickly.

03/03/2026: Excellent food really well done. Way above average. The vindaloo tasted perfect with real flavours of vinegar and spice as it should be. Not just a load of chilli powder. Highly recommended.

09/02/2026: Restaurant is dated and dirty. Toilets had poop on the wall. The food was served quickly and pulled out on a hideous black noisy trolley. I was warned the vindaloo was hot. It lacked any heat and more importantly flavour. The jalfreze had more flavour but still very poor. The pilau rice was tasted like plain basmati with zero flavour of the aromats associated with pilau rice. The garlic naan was ok. Overall a very poor experience and by far the worst Indian restaurant I've been to in Ireland so far. Bland would be the only word I could use to describe the experience

25/09/2025: Great mocha and dark chocolate hot chocolate. Each drink purchase comes with a free chocolate as well. The staff is incredibly friendly and service is quick. Definitely recommend for chocolate lovers.

05/09/2025: First time trying Butlers hot chocolate and I took a risk buying a couple of boxes. The hot chocolate was DELICIOUS and much needed on a cold February day. A couple of boxes was also not enough. The chocolate is so delicious and I cannot wait for my next trip to Ireland so I can buy more.

22/12/2025: Waited for over 5 min while 2 staff members walked by the counter ignoring people wating. When Deliveroo driver came in he was seen to. I was then ignored while the gentleman who came in after me was served. 0 stars, no atmosphere or customer service.

20/12/2025: This curry cheese chips was promised to me 3000 years ago

31/12/2025: Fantastic location but poor value for money. €494.60 for 2 nights (with parking), 2 guests. On arriving to our first room we called reception as it was no bigger than a box room. Only a double bed and very little room to move. We were given a bigger room. However despite having the radiator on full and an extra plug in radiator on constant for the duration of our stay, our room was uncomfortably cold. Within two minutes of the shower running the bathroom gets flooded. We used bath towels to block the flow out towards the door. We found the bar and restaurant quite cold also. Despite staying during the middle of the festive season there was no real atmosphere in the hotel. The bar was almost empty. When we returned with 3 friends to the bar at approx 9.30 on Sunday night we were told that we couldn't order Irish coffees because the coffee machine was off. We left and went to another bar nearby. Despite phoning enroute to ask about parking, we were not told of the closest/cheapest parking. We pid €4 per day extra and had to walk further with our luggage. Overall our stay was ok but we wouldn't rush back.

31/12/2025: Very disappointed with how our booking was handled. We had a hen party booked at the Eyre Square Hotel for 27 February 2026 (2 nights) and paid a €975 deposit. Unfortunately, due to illness, we had to cancel just under 12 weeks before arrival. While the rooms were cancelled, the hotel retained the full deposit and showed no flexibility or accommodation given the circumstances. Overall, a very disappointing experience and one I would not recommend for group bookings.

18/08/2025: Love going in here, my favourite is the waffles but I love açai bowl too, nice staff, quick service & spotless clean.

05/08/2025: Great food, Super friendly staff
