The best restaurants in Galway

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.

31/12/2025: Poor service ordered a pizza deal off the supermacs app and accidentally ordered it to the supermacs headford road so I rang the supermacs. On the app it said that the order hadn’t went through and I asked my local supermacs they said the supermacs in headford road are the people to take it up with so I rang them and we had proof of that we purchased the pizzas and they proceeded to shout down the phone to us and saying that they will call us back and never did awful service.

31/12/2025: We ordered a pizza to the wrong location online and we were trying to get a refund and the staff were absolutely no help and started saying it’s not his fault we ordered a pizza and he was denying that we ordered the pizza even though we have reciepts

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.

06/01/2026: We went there today at lunchtime. It wasn't busy at all. We waited to be seated (as requested). We were given a menu and told that we can sit anywhere. That was it. From there on we were completely ignored. The waiter was chatting with several other customers and never once acknowledged us. There were several people working in the bar area, none were even looking in our direction. The lady who gave us the menus never came back to us. After waiting for a long time we got up and left. The waiter was still engaged in what looked like a private conversation. Not a place I would ever go back to.

06/01/2026: Jist got take away Latte, ice coffee and chocolate. It was perfectly done, creamy and not too milky.

01/11/2025: The coffee is decent, decor is cute but they really need to work on getting friendlier staff. The woman at the counter was so rude. Pity because it lets the place down

24/10/2025: This place is really cute and has a great aesthetic. I love the decor on the walls. The food itself is pretty disappointing for the price. My hot chocolate was a bit watery and I ordered a ham and cheese croissant but they said I had to take it to go since there were no seats. They popped it in a brown paper bag and the cheese and oil leaked through. It tasted ok though

23/01/2026: Food was so delicious. A must try when in Galway. Staff were so friendly 10/10 would recommend

20/01/2026: Beautiful food fresh tasty great service well done guys

11/01/2026: Great value, easy parking, and helpful staff

07/01/2026: We stayed at this hotel after booking a king-size room, and the experience was excellent in every respect. The hotel is beautiful with great food and atmosphere. It is also conveniently located within a short drive of the town centre. Should we return to Galway, we would be happy to stay here again.

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

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.

09/11/2025: Food ok. Seating area filthy, no regular cleaning. Table tops dirty, food on floor, and trays not cleared.

07/09/2025: Service needs a lot of work. Sitting area is very dirty. Guy behind the counter ignored us to serve other people when the walked up and was then snarky when we point it out.

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

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.

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