The best restaurants in Galway

02/06/2026: Had a great dinner and drinks tonight at Murty Rabbitts. Service very good, great bartender . Highly recommend

01/06/2026: Best food we have had so far in Ireland. 😀

07/05/2026: We got the potato and red onion (soft potatoes but flavorful), spinach and goat cheese (the perfect amount of cheese to spinach), ham (exactly what you’d expect) and one of the best pepperoni (kinda spicy) I’ve ever had. Purchased them all by the slice for reasonable pricing and got them to go in a box instead of eating there. Walked over towards the Spanish arch and sat to eat over there by the water for the view.

05/05/2026: Definitely the best pizza not only in Galway but anywhere I've eaten in Ireland. Always delicious, fragrant, hot... simply perfect. If these guys had a better location, they'd be a hit. 👍👍👍

23/11/2025: All the care is clearly put into the place lookin like a designer vegan instagram coffee shop, but the service and coffee lacks. Was denied a dirty chai, even tho they sell chai lattes. For the price i paid, i was given a baby cappuccino and it tasted more like nuts than coffee. First time in years i poured a coffee down the sink. Ciarlantinis is only a minute up the road, much nicer folks, better prices and tastier coffee.

18/11/2025: The place has three floors, but it mainly operates as an art gallery. In my opinion, it should be takeout only since they don't have a restroom for customers. There's no comfortable space to sit and enjoy your coffee. They serve your drinks in paper cups, and the staff isn't very friendly. Or maybe it was just the day; I don't know. We found it expensive considering the regular coffee is actually quite small. It's quaint, but nothing more than that. The coffee I ordered was cold for my taste, although that's just my personal preference. I wouldn't go back.

02/05/2026: Homemade chicken burger. Fully legit

25/04/2026: The best kebab we have ever had - the meat, the salad, the bread - 💯 I’ll be back for more! Lovely service and quality kebab - couldn’t be happier walking home at 3am !

07/06/2026: Wonderful little family run restaurant. Fabulous food! Best meal I’ve had in Ireland.

04/06/2026: Amazing food and greay service. Very authentic. Wine great too

20/05/2026: I have organised a trip with my family in total 16 people to Galway and I have found the Menlo Park. I can absolutely recommend this hotel. The location is great, it is a 30 min Walk to the city centre and there is Public transport just in front of the building. The rooms are big and very comfortable, we all slept extremely well. The absolutely highlight is the breakfast, we could have spent hours there, everything is so delicious and the team is great - they make a fantastic service. We were even a bit of melancholic when we left today. It was a super experience and next time for sure we will choose the Menlo Park.

15/05/2026: The most comfortable room I've ever slept in! Very clean and super friendly. Since we were out all day, the construction work on the hotel exterior didn't bother me at all. There are only two floors, a large elevator, a restaurant, a bistro, a 24-hour reception, and incredibly friendly staff!

10/06/2026: Come here over the weekend for an early dinner with a friend. The food was out of this world, my friend felt his fish was a little on the small side and I probably could have done with a bit more veg on my plate but all in all a good meal and I would certainly return. I had a the pork chop, it was honestly the best I'd ever had. The Guinness was a decent pint too.

09/06/2026: The restaurant was more like a pub than a dining experience....loud and raucous. Dont go here on a date! Food was ok. Service was ok

19/03/2026: Really lovely food, incredibly prepared variety of fish, and a cozy warm atmosphere. The service was top call, Noel was really fantastic, friendly and extremely knowledgeable on everything on the menu and behind the bar. Great experience overall!

18/03/2026: Everything was perfect from the food to the wines, professionalism and speed.

14/05/2026: Wonderful stop in our trip. Chatted with the bartender for a bit. They don't make cocktails here. Definitely a lively place.

11/05/2026: Stopped for a whiskey, chatted with locals and bought beautiful whiskey glasses.

17/05/2026: The staff was very friendly, the drink was amazing and the atmosphere was super cozy! :)

08/05/2026: One of best places in Galway. Very clean which is rare and amazing food and stuff

20/05/2026: The food is excellent. The waiters and waitresses are very pleasant and helpful. The atmosphere is good.

17/05/2026: Wonderful French restaurant. Excellent food and a very good wine list at absolutely reasonable prices. For a starter, we were treated to a surprise of four different small dishes—all delicious. The duck was amazing, and the steak was perfect. We had a wonderful evening. A must-visit in Galway. Many thanks to the Rouge team. Best regards, Peter & Barbara

13/05/2026: Absolutely amazing pint of Guinness

12/05/2026: great pub for a stop off and pint.

26/05/2026: The drinks are great and great craic at night. However, my husband and I stopped here for dinner one night when looking for seafood and couldn’t get in to the upscale seafood place nearby. 45 minute wait for 2 people at 7:30pm on a Monday-would highly recommended the salted caramel espresso martini-amazing! We ordered the seafood platter and scallops. The oysters had pieces of shell in them and tasted of pure salt water-I love oysters but these were just not that great. The scallops were slightly overcooked as well. I would avoid this place for seafood and stick with drinks and possibly traditional food only.

26/05/2026: Upon arriving at the restaurant, we were told there would be a 30-minute wait, but we were seated within 10 minutes, which was great. We then requested a table closer to the band and were told we could sit at a nearby table for four. However, less than five minutes later, another couple was seated there instead. Naturally, it made me wonder if the color of my skin played a role. Sometimes it’s the small things that can make or break a restaurant experience. This was our first restaurant here, and I’m sure there are better places with friendlier service. Being handed vegetable stew in a to-go box to eat felt inconsiderate and unwelcoming. I’m from Texas — we simply don’t treat people like that. See pic below We had oysters, which were delicious of course being an American from Texas. We are so used to our crackers, and apparently they don’t know what that is. She had no idea what I was talking about. However, I should be grateful that they had Tabasco sauce.

06/11/2025: Nice Rap Music in the background, great cinnamon rolls and good Cappuccino. Friendly service.

02/11/2025: Great coffee! Nice to be able to order coffee as Gaeilge as well!

17/05/2026: Had the largest and possibly best grilled cheese ever here. They also had an amazing beer selection if you’re tired of drinking Guinness everywhere.

15/05/2026: Toastie so good I think I saw God whilst eating it. Best toastie I’ve had in my life, staff were incredible too!
