The best restaurants in Galway

12/09/2026: These lads don't skimp on their food. Run of the mill chipper food but they go X2 on their portions

06/09/2026: Unbelievable food, first time I had their kebabs and I will only go here from now on. Service was unreal and everyone was so kind.

05/09/2026: There are so many “best pubs in Ireland” lists. The truth is that there are great pubs everywhere in the country and O’Connell’s is one of those. It has so many different areas that it’s like visiting a bunch of pubs at once. We ordered at three bars in O’Connell’s and each person was as friendly as the other. We stopped one last time and asked the bartender for whiskey recommendations. He asked a few questions and came back with two pours to taste. One of those ended up being the bottle I purchased later to take back to the States. Can’t wait to visit again!

03/09/2026: This place has options: whiskey, beer and bartender can all be shuffled until you find the perfect combination.

07/09/2026: Was looking forward to eating at this vegan restaurant but it was not worth it contrary to what the good reviews suggested. I ordered a curry noodle soup which arrived nearly cold. The cake was ok although quite dry and way to expensive at 7,50 or 8,50 a piece. The service was close to non-existant; one of the waitresses was extremly rude and made one feel very unwelcome. It literally felt like one eating in the restaurant, asking for a table to be seated or odering food via her was an inconvenience to her. Would not recommend eating here.

06/09/2026: The food was soo tasty. Huge selection of vegan desserts. The service was spot on

24/08/2026: Great little pub. Great music. Great service. A lot of different beers on tap. Gets very busy after 5 pm, overflows onto the street.

23/08/2026: Very good beers and nice gigs, great selection of craft beers.

22/08/2026: I heard many things about Murphy’s having come from Dublin, we tried the brown bread and butterscotch and both were genuinely lovely! But damn is it pricy (I don’t mind paying for high quality food) but my main issue was with the girl with the 1967 tattoo on the back of her arm GENUINELY the rudest customer service I’ve ever had! Everyone else was an absolute gem from the girl handing out the samples to the dude scooping the ice cream behind the counter.

18/08/2026: I give 4 stars for the staff who are very kind and try to serve you from the door.. the ice cream is nothing special, I don't understand why they say it's incredible.. anyone who has eaten gelato and knows, will distinguish... always our opinion of course...

04/09/2026: Great bar, lots of drink choices, great decor

04/09/2026: Excellent food (the mussels are highly recommended) in a lovely setting. The staff is welcoming and friendly. I tried it two years ago. I'll definitely be back!

02/09/2026: Craic is mighty ! Highly recommend

23/08/2026: A great, chill pub in Galway. Great Guinness or beamish, highly recommend if you’re not about the hustle and bustle of the Latin quarter

31/08/2026: With the streets of the Latin Quarter packed with people and no dinner reservations, this place saved us. And we had a fantastic dinner! Both the pizza and the pasta were delicious, and we were able to wash them down with a nice pint of Guinness from the pub across the street.

27/08/2026: Delicious and generous slices of pizza. They're open until 3 a.m. It's the perfect place to end the night after a night out in pubs and bars; a slice of pizza from this place will taste like heaven.

18/09/2026: Amazing atmosphere Very friendly staff

17/09/2026: Just exceptional. Had no expectations walking in and came out having had one of the best meals of our lives. Drinks, oysters, Bavette, dumplings, gnudi world class. Will remember this meal for a long, long time.

22/09/2026: Excellent food great service. A bit noisy inside.

20/09/2026: Very busy, but the pizza was great, and the dipping sauces were excellent

12/09/2026: Great restaurant. Very nice layout. Food was great. Servers were very busy and made for a bit of sporadic delivery of service.

09/09/2026: Best Steak ive had in my life. Old Fashioned is served with smoke. We were absolutely delighted!!!

19/08/2026: Hello, How can I make a reservation? I tried to call several times the number I see on the website and fill the form but no answer. Can I get info about that? Thanks

16/08/2026: Fantastic Galway seafood restaurant, great food great service great atmosphere 👍

18/09/2026: Wonderful moody interior with great seaside details. Every dish was thoughtful and creative. Would recommended the local Irish drink pairings. The service was absolutely stunning, including a visit with the chef, which I felt like was a special touch. They definitely deserve their Michelin star.

27/08/2026: The food was some of the most creative and incredible food ever. Dishes were floating on clouds or lathered in creative sauces. They even candied a pinecone! They are incredibly allergy friendly and the service is excellent. Staff is incredibly enthusiastic and willing to help. They voluntarily walked us through all the dishes, sourcing, and history. All 24 courses were unique, imaginative, and worth every bite. Also trust me I'm a human not AI
