The best restaurants in Galway

03/12/2025: Amazing place, lovely staff and delicious food. Their cappuccino was super creamy and delicious, and cake I had next to it was very unique in taste and well combined with sauces. Full breakfast was superb too. Definitely would recommend.

02/12/2025: 10/10 I always enjoy my time here for either brunch or dinner. The food is absolutely delicious! Our waiter was outstanding, providing attentive and wonderful service. Plus, the wine was delightful! 🍷🥂

25/11/2025: Cosy and reasonable prices, friendly staff 😀

18/11/2025: Lovely vibes and costumer service!!!

14/10/2025: Very nice cafe, good atmosphere and warm welcome. Hearty and very good breakfast as well as drinks.

14/10/2025: Great cafe with a very chill atmosphere. The breakfast was delicious 😁

17/10/2025: Extremely friendly staff and the brown bread and sea salt ice creams were delicious.

16/10/2025: Lovely girl working the counter, she was so friendly and did not rush us at all. We tried several flavors and they were all delicious.

05/12/2025: Great menu and everything we had was delicious.

29/11/2025: I had the Tofish and Chips - excellent flavor, crispy batter, and delectable sides. I'll be back!

09/12/2025: Lovely pub, bar staff were very friendly and welcoming. Lots of sports on the TV's , they catered for all. Nice snugs in it too. Pint of Murphy's was top class. Would recommend popping in if you're in Galway

07/11/2025: Australian staff member (Ronan) bashes locals to American and Canadian tourists saying “ you need subtitles to understand them” meaning the locals around Galway. I do not care what needs to be said to tourists you never resort to disrespecting local custom. Ordered from him twice at the bar and both times made me feel like he was completely uninterested in serving me because of my accent acting like he couldn’t understand making me repeats my order. After his comments with the tourists myself and my wife decided to leave as we obviously were unwelcome. Customer service and rapport is clearly not important to Murphys Bar

18/11/2025: Tucked away like a treasure and indeed it is one. The staff were lovely, welcoming and highly professional. We arrived a half hour before our reservation and were quickly accommodated. One of us is not a wine enthusiast but described their taste and loved the recommended glass. We started with a dozen oysters and agreed Kirwans’ could do well with a menu item ‘Cover the table with oysters’. We had the Seared Scallops with crispy pork belly and the 10 oz aged ribeye. The steak was so good, today I’m lighting a candle for the cow. Our gracious host said the cleaned plates were a compliment, to which we responded that we had to restrain ourselves to stop at the porcelain. It was truly lovely

05/11/2025: I still think about this meal. It was the first meal of our trip and we just happened to walk by and they had a table ready for us pretty quick! I still dream about these mussels. A fantastic seafood dinner to lead into a night heading to different pubs. A breath of fresh air and fine dining before a night of pints all over town. But for real, order the mussels. I'm going back to Galway JUST to eat here. Great wine list too and fantastic service staff.

13/11/2025: One of the reasons to visit Galway: traditional music, delicious beer, and beautifully detailed interior design.

06/11/2025: A truly cozy pub with amazing live music and friendly staff.

09/09/2025: The Skeff is part of the The Skeffington Arms Hotel. Food was very good. The Seafood Chowder and a couple of (non!) Stout beers from other parts of Ireland were a welcomed change of pace. IPA's, actually. One from Letterkenny, and the other from Kill, County Kildare. Other than the service being just a tad slow, it was (overall) very good. And the live music was magical this night. Okay...Not exactly magical, but covers from bands/artists that everyone knows, sung by a group of a youngish band of 3 called The Groev. They did a great job, actually.

09/09/2025: Authentic pub with fantastic food! Service was rather mediocre.

16/11/2025: What I most appreciate about this place is the consistency. The quality of food and service is one of the best you can get in Galway. Never once we have been disappointed in food or the atmosphere. To the point that we actually do not bother with any other places whenever we visit Galway. I especially recommend the chicken Cajun salad 👍

15/11/2025: Food here is excellent. My favorite is the Cajun Chicken Salad.

05/12/2025: Super disco throwback to 80's & 90's

01/12/2025: I went to the 30÷ disco yesterday. It was very techno and most of us oldies there would have preferred dance singalong music, leave the techno every other song. Most of the crowd were 50+ . DJ read your audience..

26/10/2025: This place was so good we went back a second time while in Galway. We had the Irish Rib Steak Sandwich both times and the taste and flavor were spot-on. Prices were reasonable. Only thing they didn’t have was music but the good and drinks make up for that.

12/09/2025: Huge selection of on tap beers. Sorry Dave they don't have fosters anymore. Place is clean and service prompt. Average about 6euro a pint.

25/10/2025: Laura Rosso is my favourite place to eat in Galway, the grilled chicken is delicious. The team who run it are lovely and especially Anna is always very helpful 😁🙏

24/10/2025: Visited this restaurant with my family for my birthday dinner, for the first time. Not a bad place, nice and warm. The food sounds good on the menu, looks good in a photo but on the shared platter, the chicken and the steak was very dry and tough, as if it's cooked and frozen then heated up again, like not fresh. The chips and sausage was nice. I would return to give a second chance and try something else💯❤️

08/11/2025: Great little spot run by a husband and wife. Spectacular simple menu. Quality and love is in every bite.

18/10/2025: Lovely place with amazing food and sound people. A must-go in Galway

30/11/2025: Asked the lovely assistant to give me a selection of 5 Irish cheeses for a cheese board and couldn’t be happier. The cheese was amazing as was the assistant and shop itself. Highly recommended and while they have lots of international cheeses why would you bother when they have at least 10 regional Irish ones and the 5 I bought were superb.

28/11/2025: Can't believe I'm actually reviewing a cheese shop on google, but this place was so lovely I had to. Great produce and a really friendly, passionate staff member who spoke about the cheeses with such love and knowledge that I was very sad that I don't live locally & can't be a regular customer.
