The best restaurants in Galway

17/11/2025: I'd like to point out that my review refers only to the Mocha Beans guesthouse, which is located above the bar. My room was very small, with a bulky closet. Luckily, I didn't have a large suitcase, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to open it. The mattress is old and sagging, with springs that hurt my back. There are no electrical outlets in the bathroom, and to figure out how to use the shower, I had to call the owner because I wasn't told there was a button outside the bathroom to activate it. There's essentially no reception, and you're given an access code for the main door, which is the same for the room. I texted the owner several times in the days leading up to my stay to ask if it was possible to check in at 11/11:30 in the morning instead of 2:00 PM. He never answered, and when I called him after arriving, he showed up, saying the room was still occupied and that I had to return at 2:00 PM. I told him about my messages and that I hadn't received a response, but he showed no interest. Once I returned at 2:00 PM, I had to wait on the stairs because the cleaning lady hadn't finished. I had to ask for a hairdryer because there wasn't one in the room. I wasn't provided with a shower mat, and I only had a face towel and a large one. I struggled to sleep that night because of the mattress, and in the morning I woke up around 6:00 AM (the only window in the room is on the ceiling and can't be opened because it's too high, and there's no curtain). For what I paid, I didn't receive good service, and even the lady who prepared the room seemed very cold; she didn't ask if I needed anything. The cleanliness was passable. The only advantage is that it's twenty minutes from the city center. I definitely won't be returning.

19/10/2025: There is no check in as such for this bedroom so I can't rate service really. The room itself is clean and comfortable and an adequate size but there is nowhere to store clothes. There isn't enough room for a wardrobe. We were in room number 4 and the shower room isnt exactly ensuite but almost. It's opposite the room on a tiny off side corridor only for room 4. The shower room is spotless nicely tiled and the shower is lovely. There is no plug for the basin. There's no hair dryer or iron. The rooms are above a cafe so I think breakfast should be included. It is an easy walk into the centre of Galway city so perfectly situated.

31/12/2025: Lovely cosy cafe real Irish Breakfast loved it boys loved the pancakes.

22/12/2025: Just happy with this place. It’s the first place where I had a coffee and Irish breakfast last year. Went there several times. Today I came here again with friends. The service was great and all of us were happy with the food and drinks. Thanks!

31/12/2025: 1 meal for 2 people is enough, huge portions

24/12/2025: Delish breakfast, lovely service x

09/12/2025: the food i had today had hair in it and it was disgusting

05/12/2025: Pizza was worst, on name on lamb they added doner kebab chunks, instead of chicken , turkey was added Negative rating ,

30/12/2025: Ordered our second takeaway from Curry and Spice. I had the Roadside Chilli Chicken and Nicola had a lamb madras (she was outspiced!) but both dishes were amazing! Delivery was prompt. We have had complimentary sides each order. This is our new go-to!

18/12/2025: Staff are absolutely lovely, so accommodating and good at recommendations. Anytime I’ve altered a dish slightly (less spicy/ to make a typically meat dish vegetarian), they have done it with no hesitation. First got a dish from here a little over two months ago, can tell you it will be a regular spot from now on. The food they cook is 10/10, they also have accommodated for me a few times I’ve ran late being 5mins after closing. Genuinely can’t fault them in any manner, food is amazing and cooked from scratch, prices are reasonable too. Give this place a try, you wont regret it!

29/11/2025: The service is bit on the lower side as the frontend staff were not trained properly and they have no clue on how to handle customers.The food is very good but should try to reduce the serving time as it took 45 minutes to get starters.Please improve the service and everything will fall in line.

28/11/2025: Kerala cusine. The Green chilli chicken curry, beef are all good. Service is great. You can skip desert.

30/12/2025: Ordered 4 medium pizzas. They arrived 30 minutes late from the time given, were lukewarm, and we're a smaller size than were paid for. Tried phoning the restaurant multiple times and each times was hung up on.

05/11/2025: Ordered a regular beef burger meal for a seat in. After having my fries which where actually very tasty and my drink, I was so full. So I decided to bring my burger as take away, only to find out later that I was actually served a chicken burger instead. I was very disappointed. Even though I was disappointed I will still recommend eating there because the food is tasty and fresh, but maybe physically check your order at the till upon collection to avoid any disappointment.

18/08/2025: Enjoyed a nice cup of coffee at Mocha beans

11/08/2025: Got the train to Dublin during the week and was delighted to get 2 coffees from Vlad in the station , 7am and they were the only place open.. Happy days

08/08/2025: Delicious food, quick and kind service. Had two entrees, two milkshakes, and two sides for 33

05/08/2025: Portion size of curry fries and garlic fries was smaller than that of a child's portion.

29/12/2025: I’m new to the city, but McCambridge’s already feels like it’s going to be one of my favourite spots. Amazing deli and grocery selection, great quality produce and local treats—and the café upstairs is a lovely bonus. Always worth a visit.

21/12/2025: I came in here looking for some oriental tea bags. Unfortunately, to my horror I seen the Derek Chauvin working there. Now I'm not much into the culture stuff myself but I've been thoroughly educated by my niece, who is a barista. So she knows all things politics in her career. That man took a knee for BLM but not in the correct way. A solid gold coffin wasnt enough.

30/11/2025: Burrito was not very good unfortunately:( But the people working were very nice

27/11/2025: The food is fine for fast Tex mex, but the prices are so misleading. It costs extra for a vegetarian option. I asked for a veggie bowl and got lettuce. What was listed as €9.50 on the menu ended up costing me €16.50. Would not recommend to anyone on a budget

18/11/2025: When you dine in and you’re being made a coffee in a plastic cup. I said I’d prefer a glass when I’m sitting in. Ridiculous.

17/11/2025: Came in to have a matcha today, Muhammad and Manon were very polite and lovely to speak to. will definitely be coming back again

27/12/2025: Terrible place to go out partying, lots of teenagers looking for trouble and bad vibes, not recommended at all.

18/12/2025: Good bar. Plenty of dancing, very good band there on our night out.Have a game of Pool and then chill in the relaxing areas, nice . Different bars available ie cocktail bar, beers etc . Karaoke available in private room if you like pain .... Yeah plenty of entertainment throughout the night . All good

22/11/2025: Authentic Roman-style pizza with incredible flavor. They also serve delicious sandwiches in fresh focaccia bread with plenty of great options. The owner is Italian and uses high quality ingredients, which really shows in the taste. Highly recommended!

16/11/2025: Wow what and excellent addition to west side of galway… grazie mile

08/07/2025: Excelente lugar para apreciar uma autêntica massa italiana! Tudo sempre muito delicioso, ambiente agradável e atendimento impecável!

04/07/2025: AMAZING food, gorgeous patio! Salad & seafood pasta was delicious, got the fish & chips the next night which I enjoyed immensely. Conveniently located & worth visiting, definitely recommend!!
