The best restaurants in Galway

27/10/2026: Excellent restaurant, the atmosphere is lovely and the staff is fantastic. I'm vegetarian and I had a huge selection of dishes. I've been three times and I've always loved it; the flavors are always varied. You can tell the chef puts a lot of thought into the combinations of tastes and textures ❤️ Bonus: LGBT-friendly atmosphere

26/10/2026: Lovely little vegan restaurant serving creative, wholesome meals. The "vish and smashed potato Caesar" was interesting and quite delicious - it was basically chunky fried tofu and roasted potatoes on a Caesar salad! I loved it. They made a good flat white too. There's also a wide selection of pastries/desserts. Very reasonably priced. Friendly and attentive staff.

11/10/2026: Aqeel was so friendly, and made the experience! Thank you so much!!

04/11/2026: There were two of us and we had oysters as a starter, which were beautifully prepared and tasted delicious. For the main course I ordered a sirloin steak medium-rare, which unfortunately disappointed. I got a done steak instead. After I pointed this out, the friendly service staff prepared another steak for me. This time it was also disappointing, it was rare and in my opinion not seasoned enough... I left the staff in the mistaken belief that the steak was now good. Because my neighbor at the table had of course already finished eating and the kitchen should have finished as well, I didn't want to complain again so the staff could call it a day. So the evening came to a mixed end. The starter was good, but the main course disappointed twice over.

30/10/2026: That hit the spot. It was unreal. On the way back from Cliffs of Moher stopped for 2 hours in Galway from the bus tour organized by Finn McCools Tours booked from getyourguide. Happen to see the resturant led by google. My wife and I enjoyed oysters, fish and chips and steamed mussels along with chowder. The food is good beyond expectation as compared to Taiwan where sea food is brilliant. The service lady who is 19 is an angel with beautiful and touching smile. The loud goodbye from the gentleman behind the bar ended this meal energetically. Thanks a million.

23/10/2026: We really enjoyed this place. The sauce for the mussels was super good. We shared the small order and it was plenty. The main dishes and dessert were also really good. Totally recommend this restaurant.
