The best restaurants in Galway

31/08/2026: Very dear for what we got portions sizes are a joke plain pasta for a child 10.00 very over priced for the quanity of food we got also 8.00 for a dessert is a disgrace hence we didnt get any as would of been 36 for us all to have some wouldnt return here staff werent overly friendly either

31/08/2026: really awful dinner and service tonight. lackadaisical staff & mediocre food at best.

28/10/2026: Unpleasant experience overall, staff unfriendly, their too busy focused on chatting to each other rather than being focused on their actual job that their getting paid for. Kept a customer waiting that just came in for a long amount of time. The worker wasnt even busy. Staff should be more focused on delivering their customers a pleasant experience. Will not come back here.

04/07/2026: Lovely people working here! Excellent service and great options for quick lunch!

13/09/2026: Lack of trans inclusive bathroom.

04/08/2026: Went there during the galways film fleah.. was great vibes

15/09/2026: We ordered the grilled sea bass (fresh catch of the day), the fish stew, and the chicken pate, and everything was delicious. The draft beer and wine selection is great, and the price is fairly decent (~30$ per meal). Would highly recommend, and kitchen closes late at 10 pm!

14/09/2026: This was a weird experience. My husband got some oysters and there was a worm swimming in his oysters!!! 🪱🤢 that was horrible!! We sent the oysters back! After that we got the steak and that one was decent. This place has potential because it’s in a very good location but I wouldn’t come back 😅

14/09/2026: Ordered a chocolate Oreo cookie came to me with pure sand of a cookie payed 5 euro for it to be just barely edible and had to wait for about 10 minutes as serving was so slow with about 2 people in the Que

30/08/2026: The Starbucks Galway Eyre Square is centrally located within the Eyre Square Shopping Centre. It's a popular café with students and tourists, known for its spacious, two-level layout, with a seating area upstairs and an outdoor space overlooking the square.

13/10/2026: Hadn't had it in a while but thought Id try the newly refurbished Shop St The food was poorly prepared, burger had almost zero sauce, and the service was abysmally bad Never again

10/10/2026: "I know I ordered the mini version for €3.20, but the portion size was ridiculous. The cup was barely filled to a third of its size—just a few spoons of ice cream at the bottom. I understand it's a smaller size, but this was a complete underfill and a total rip-off. Staff should learn how to measure the portions correctly."

07/08/2026: Not enough people for providing service. One person doing all service, billing, order taking etc. Went on weekday with with children and friends and made wait for more than 50 min. The starters served at the end and missed order made at very beginning. Family came with elders also seemed leaving due to waiting so long. Customer time is also valuable. Hope management will look into the issue.

04/08/2026: Editing my review after few months. The place has gone down, smells oily when we enter. Ordered chicken kizhi parota the other day and when it arrived the meat looked not like chicken! Then asked the sever about it before eating it he confirmed that it’s chicken! Took a bite and it was red meat! Guess what I got served beef! Beef! Yes beef! Due to my religious Belief I am not allowed to eat it but they made me eat it! Never going back again! Big thumbs down 👎

26/04/2026: Way too expensive. Had to pay around 20€ for just two chocolate strawberries cups that were almost empty

29/03/2026: Ordered dubai chocolate strawberries and a smoothie bowl with strawberry granola, strawberries, chocolate chips and the ocean smoothie. The dubai chocolate strawberries were ok. No problem with that, but the acai bowl tasted bad. It tasted very dull and like it was diluted with water. I usually get acai bowls but this didnt taste good. I asked for a refund or possibly, a food swap kindly, and they said they couldn't. Very dissapointed since i spent 10 euros on the bowl when i only had 1 spoon.

27/09/2026: I ordered roast duck and pork and i got this pathetic excuse of a meal it tastes like it is leftover meat it is dry and its burnt , worst experience of food i have ever had in my life

22/08/2026: Very solid Chinese. Loads of fresh veg. Excellent value

06/08/2026: Ordered samosa chat. I did request the chef to add a bit more spice. I just say I was not disappointed, it was spicy the way I like it. The quantity was very much enough for a person. The taste was very close to the chat I have in Mumbai. Fair play.

04/07/2026: Really good food, really enjoyed

03/07/2026: FRAUDULENT CHARGES post-stay! Do not stay here! Two weeks post checkout, I noticed an additional charge of nearly $1,000 on my account from this hotel where they claim something was broken in the room. The hotel never reached out to me prior to the charge. Nothing was broken in the room when we left. SAVE yourself the headaches and don’t stay here!

02/07/2026: BEWARE OF FRADULENT CHARGES! DO NOT STAY HERE! I've stayed in hotels well over 1,000 times for business and leisure over the past 30 years, and I've never experienced anything like this. After we checked out, the hotel placed a $700 UNAUTHORIZED CHARGE on our credit card for an alleged broken item without contacting us first. THERE WAS NO BROKEN ITEM. We were never notified that there was an issue, given an opportunity to respond, or provided any evidence BEFORE THE CHARGE WAS PROCESSED. Whether this reflects poor management or a deeply concerning billing practice, guests should be aware that charges may be placed on their cards without prior notice. WE WERE FORCED TO DISCOVER THE CHARGE OURSELVED AND DISPUTE IT AFTER THE FACT. BEWARE IF YOU CHOOSE TO STAY HERE - Make sure to monitor your post-stay credit card charges and video your room condition upon checkout. Based on how this was handled, WE WILL NOT BE RETURNING!

08/11/2026: Avoid this place. €17.95 for a cheeseburger, fries not included. Burger was so average, very messy and tasteless. Ordered a pint of Coors and had to send it back as there was a strange taste of it. Staff were pleasant

27/10/2026: It's expensive, the burger meat is very processed, and the fries are extra, which is excessive. The atmosphere is also very sterile. Not a very good experience.

13/08/2026: We ordered a dozen and told the lady what we wouldn't like to have and apparently she put it in anyway.. that happens. The donuts was stupid dry. And the lady looked like we where just irritating. Wouldn't recommend, worst Krispy Kreme I have been to.

10/08/2026: Krispy Kreme have lovely donuts and a great selection. They are quite pricy, but that's to be expected from a speciality donut establishment. However, better than the donuts are the staff. The staff here are genuinely so kind and lovely and always put a smile on my face. Great donuts, amazing staff!

25/10/2026: Sign on door says it opens 8:30 so I waited and they didn’t actually open until 9. Mentioned it to staff and they didn’t take down the sign or care

13/09/2026: Good off-licence selection and good pastries and great sambos
