The best restaurants in Galway

18/08/2026: Had a delicious ice coffee made by Jennifer and it was so delicious. Service was great and everyone was so kind

13/08/2026: Even as a hotel guest, you can't get a table here at 8 pm without a reservation. Half the place was empty, but although the kitchen is officially open until 8:30 pm, the staff seemed to prefer setting up early for breakfast. And nobody there seemed to be working themselves to the bone.

16/09/2026: Waitress took care and checked in on everyone around us but us. Cocktails are amazing. Sole fish dinner is entire fish bone in…. Just let us know that. It was very hard to get bones off of fish.

30/08/2026: Only disappointment was the waitress. Rude at times and often not clear on what was on the menu. Putting the reserved sign for another party on the table before asking about desert was unfortunate.

06/08/2026: From the outside, it looks very unassuming and somewhat deserted. However, once you go up the stairs, it's very nicely furnished and offers a fantastic view of the sea. The food was okay, depending on the dish. They sometimes overdid it with the MSG and spices. Otherwise, though, it tasted good and we had a pleasant stay.

04/08/2026: surrounded by people even whiter than myself, says a lot about the restaurant. thai green curry was comparable to broccoli soup, nothing authentic about the restaurat

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

07/06/2026: Very friendly staff Nice shop great coffee

24/08/2026: 1:30pm August 24th 2026. Girl called out our order and had it in a bag, I said our order isn't for takeaway. She said "I KNOW BUT I'VE NO TRAYS", I didn't say anything then she continued "AND I CAN'T GIVE YOU SOMETHING I DON'T HAVE CAN I?"... Stacks of dirty trays on top of the bins if she had the work ethic or cop on how to solve her lack of trays situation instead of being abrupt and rude to customers. . . 30 euros I wish we spent somewhere else. People like that are not employable which I'm sure she'll discover soon.

15/08/2026: Our guide may have hyped the food quality toooooo much. Average burger, okay fries. That said, the staff was wonderful!!!!

02/09/2026: Definitely not recommend LARGE KEBAB it's just name 😂😂😂😂 and For that money, I definitely don't recommend Only if you are very hungry and there are no other options. Kebab is equal to horror and disaster meat, dry, almost overdried. They simply have to be improved because for now the price does not justify the product

30/08/2026: The Charcoal Grill is a popular local takeaway and fast food chain located in Galway, Ireland, renowned for its authentic Turkish and Middle Eastern cuisine. It's particularly popular for its charcoal-grilled meats, kebabs, and late-night opening hours.

26/07/2026: A delightful find whilst wandering round Galway! Loved the outside so popped in for food. Very pretty, beautifully designed, spacious. Lovely sandwiches or salad bowls or warm food; not expensive. Next door is an equally beautiful restaurant in Hyde.

13/07/2026: Underwhelming: They used way too much pepper, the coffee was not included in the 14.50€, not even a bottle of water was brought to us. The ordered cappuccino never came (legends say, the barista is still working on it). Yes the ambience was nice, but not enough to forget the rest.

12/08/2026: Fabulous food had a lovely coffee also great service

23/06/2026: Friendly, great drink, pizza was the best, dessert super good.

21/08/2026: Amazing food and fantastic service 10/10

16/08/2026: Pancakes and coffee were perfect. My friend was very happy with his omelette too. Big portions and lovely staff.

07/08/2026: Absolutely spotless and lovely staff

23/07/2026: Great place for a coffee and ice-cream.

22/08/2026: Ordered a pizza got served very quick pizza was barely Luke warm and looked like it had been sorting waiting in someone to order it Not the first time here previous experience very good and food was lovely so will go back and try again

18/08/2026: I went there with my family, my husband my two daughters and myself. We ordered a pizza each and my daughter got pizza slice and the wedges. We had an infant so she nibbled on our food. I wish I could give this place a better review because the first time we went there the food was amazing. This is our second time at the place and you were served by a lady with blonde hair who see us she seemed nice at the start but when she took our order, she seemed slightly judgemental as if we didn’t belong there. My family and I felt very unwanted and I couldn’t wait to eat and get out of the place. For three people with three fizzy drinks it was €60. In my opinion, it was not worth that money. My daughter’s pizza tasted of nothing. My pizza was cold when it came to the table and my husband’s pizza, which was the diavola tasted like pizza crust and ricotta cheese. The lady that served us was clearly the owner and she had more important things to be doing then to be caring for her customers like sitting down with her family to have dinner which I thought was extremely unprofessional. Every time I looked, she was sitting down at the table spending time with them. The place was empty. I’d say about four tables were taken. I had to ask for her highchair it was never offered to us which is pouring my opinion considering we had an infant. And unfortunately, the next day after consuming the pizza, my husband and I and my daughter became extremely ill. After this visit, I will 100% avoid this restaurant three issues, one the manager/owner is extreme rude, two servers seem apathetic and couldn’t be bothered, and lastly the food made us ill for three days. My advice as a family with two young girls avoid avoid avoid!!! Who kills me? Is that we spent €60 on a meal that was sub standard and then wound up making us sick! Also the last note they offer wedges to children it would be better if they got a proper kids menu instead of putting the kids menu in with the sides offer something decent like a mini pizza and the least you could do is have French fries. I won’t be back until they improve things. Looking back, I wish we had just gone to Supermacs. It would’ve been a lot cheaper and I’m much nicer meal!

08/08/2026: Had to stay outside due to it not being wheelchair accessible, for 2 burger, 1 plain chip and 2 small drinks it was over €30. The food was forgotten about after a 50 minute wait even though they weren’t that busy. The burgers were horrible, the bun tasted old and as if it was gluten free and hard. There was no apology when it was mentioned all the issues just “oh okay”. We went here because of the glowing reviews but it was genuinely the worst burger and service I’ve ever had in my life. The burger fell apart and the ratio of everything was horrible as it was mostly just bun. I’ll never return and it’s a place I’d tell others to avoid. I couldn’t eat my burger as it was making me feel sick immediately so it was a complete waste of money. I just ordered a cheese burger and can’t fathom how that was messed up so badly. The chips were like oven chips and so bland. I’d of rather of gave €30+ euro to a stranger then this place again. Disgusting.

03/08/2026: Worst burger place I've ever been to. It took an hour, the waitress was rude and refused to give us water, the fries were frozen, the burgers were tiny and not good, the price was ridiculously high, and there was no atmosphere.

02/09/2026: I had such a lovely experience yesterday, my host was so kind, the place was clean, and the food was AMAZING! Thank you!

02/09/2026: Went there yesterday with my girlfriend who is gluten free, the restaurant has fantastic options and everything tastes the exact same. Staff were very accommodating and made eating out with an allergy easy :) food was affordable and delicious!!!

22/08/2026: Eating a delicious medium spice szechuan. Perfect for someone looking for a hearty meal after a hangover with egg fried rice. Ready exceptionally quick. Tasty. Just what the doctor ordered!

09/08/2026: Lovely staff, amazing potions and affordable prices, food was great too, would recommend 🤗
