The best restaurants in Galway

19/04/2026: great food, excellent customer service . really recommend.

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!

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.

22/01/2026: The owner’s behavior was beyond inappropriate. After I briefly used the restroom, I was confronted about forgetting to flush — fine, human error — but it escalated into being scolded about needing to *wash the sink* because I used hand sanitizer and “you don’t leave a sink that way.” I wish that were satire. What pushed it into absurd territory was the owner then **following me outside onto the street** to continue berating me. For context, this was in Ireland, where public bathrooms regularly survive far worse than a missed flush, and I was a young tourist who had literally just stopped in looking for the Wi-Fi password. That level of hostility says everything about this establishment’s culture. If you’re looking for genuine warmth, fair prices, and an actually wholesome experience, go somewhere authentic instead. Keep your “positive energy” far away from this negative environment — the branding may say serene indication, but the attitude screams bitter.

25/12/2025: We got married in the g 9 years ago, we have stayed there every year for the past 15 years. We celebrate our anniversary and we now have 3 December birthdays. This was all relayed through email while booking. As we have 3 small kids we love to stay at the g around Christmas and have our own little pj party. Despite sharing all this information when booking there was no welcome plate or card even left in our room on arrival, something which was always there before so that was a disappointment. The room itself was beautiful and spacious especially with our own Christmas tree. The room however was cold. The heating seemed fine on our first day but didn’t seem to work on the second day. While using the bath there was no little body wash beside it or that could be moved from the sink, which meant I had to get in and out which is a little dangerous. Breakfast selection the next morning wasn’t hectic, I chose pancakes and I asked for just strawberries and cream to be told there was no cream available. How can a 5 star hotel restaurant not have something quite basic as cream. Overall we had a nice stay but there is definitely room for improvement as initially it was even difficult to complete our reservation.

22/12/2025: Our stay was brilliant & Davidus (front office manager) made our stay special from the beginning with his warm welcome. Would 100% recommend to friends to stay here. Look forward to returning.

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.

25/04/2026: Lovely atmosphere, food and service. Had a lamb Rogan Josh and really enjoyed. Nice family run business with cool decor

21/04/2026: My partner and I had dinner here recently and really enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. The food was very good although the rice portion was a bit too big and there should’ve been more meat but overall we really enjoyed the food. The naan bread seemed freshly made and it tasted amazing! Special thanks to our waitress who was very kind and helpful.

01/06/2026: There is one particular woman behind the bar with a major attitude problem.. Just rude and on a power trip! Why be a barmaid if you aren’t a people person?

26/05/2026: Great pub for the ceol agus craic. Live music, cozy booths and friendly service. They don't do food and the patio can be quite smoky when it gets full up. Live music, a good pint, and good people. What else could you need?

28/05/2026: Great supermacs , great spot for people watching after a night out

07/05/2026: I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve been to this Supermacs drunk at 2am and the service is exceptional every single time. Despite how many people are here, the employees are incredibly efficient and kind, and I always get my food very quickly. I cannot recommend this place enough. Everyone who works here is the goat, and I appreciate how much they have fed me on nights out. This place is infinitely better than M*donalds.

30/04/2026: Needs to be refreshed, toilets need to be updated, furniture needs repairs

19/04/2026: It could be cleaner. The tables weren't clean. The containers for ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper, and sugar on the tables were greasy and grimy.

21/12/2025: My friend and I booked a table there for 7 people. This is based in my own opinion First time: first time going there and it seems alright. Not too shabby. It’s really pretty Food wise: I myself as a sushi lover , the sushi is actually not too bad but the price and the food that they’re serving us just doesn’t match. I just feel like they were overcharging us for both the bbq and the sushi. We got the bbq for 2 for €50 something and the sushi platter for €33.20 for the 4 of us. The rest they ordered ramen. It just clearly feels like just not enough. Staff: very good not too bad. Overall I felt like I wasted my money going there with my friends as I said the pricing doesn’t match with the food they served us. Overall I would’ve went somewhere else.

09/12/2025: 🥴☹️ If you want to fill your stomach with something bland and flavorless rather than real food, this is the place to go. I’m not even going to comment on their tea or customer service here… but the food itself was extremely disappointing. The portions are huge, but the taste is terrible. I have never had a “spicy ramen” that tasted like a mixture of ketchup and canned beans — until now. It was truly unpleasant. As for their “sushi,” it’s nothing more than rice wrapped with seaweed and avocado, with no fish at all. Calling it sushi is misleading — it would be more accurate to call it Kimbab. Overall, a very disappointing experience. I would not recommend this place

29/03/2026: Was in the area so took a chance. Great Chinese, very enjoyable.

14/03/2026: This is definitely the best Asian food I’ve ever had! It tasted absolutely brilliant. It was our first time here; it didn’t look particularly fancy from the outside, but as soon as we stepped inside, it felt warm and cosy, and everyone was so friendly and attentive. The service was excellent, and we’ll definitely be back.

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

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.

16/12/2025: . Kitchen unorganised. Waited too long for food (35mins). Burgers are on the menu that they don’t have. Was given house chips instead. Only 2 slices pepperoni, a few hidden pieces of bacon with a nice sauce and basic chips.

20/11/2025: Food was ok. Service was very slow. 2.5 hours for 3 course dinner and half an hour was waiting for the bill. Music was too loud in the restaurant and noise levels from nearby tables makes it difficult to hear your table companions further away.
