Alma Restaurant
Galway
22/09/2025: This is a relatively small Portuguese restaurant specializing in seafood. There is a husband and wife team who own the restaurant and handle most of the cooking and serving.
The food is inspired by Goa in India and the food has complex and delicious flavours.
19/09/2025: Delicious and good sized portion.

Sheridans Cheesemongers

08/10/2025: There are some many great choices I couldn't figure out what to get. The lad behind the counter was super helpful. We all enjoyed his choices. We then went upstairs and found a couple of great wines.
03/10/2025: Really nice place to relax and have a cheeseboard. The host, Pietre is very nice and knowledgeable of all the wines available. This place is highly recommended.

Bierhaus
Galway
15/10/2025: One of the best food I’ve had in my life… tacos were unreal, my friend had the Kebab and she said it’s the best Kebab she has ever had, and she’s The Kebab connoisseur. Could not recommend more this place. Definitely come here, you’ll not be disappointed. High Camp
06/10/2025: I was a regular here for over a year and always enjoyed the atmosphere. However, a couple of months ago I had an unpleasant experience with one of the bartenders, the bearded one whose attitude toward me was unnecessarily rude and condescending. There was a misunderstanding in how I came across, which I take responsibility for, but his reaction was completely out of order, even after I apologized.
I understand bar work can be stressful, but no customer, especially a regular, deserves to be spoken to that way. It genuinely ruined my night. I’ve since read other reviews that describe similar experiences with this staff member, so it seems I’m not alone.
The food is excellent and the music selection is fantastic on busy nights, but none of that makes up for the way I was treated. I won’t be coming back, and I would advise others to be cautious when ordering from him if you don’t want to be spoken down to or made uncomfortable.

Cava Bodega
Galway
27/09/2025: Unable to accommodate a tree nut allergy. Really disappointing and crazy from anywhere recognized from Michelin. I should note they have an allergen menu but our waitress said they would recommend not risking cross contamination.
27/09/2025: Maybe I was expecting more
Ordered the mussels and they weren’t even opened, clearly not properly cooked.
I know the tapas concept but if you serve those portions in Spain they would laugh at your face.
If you are hungry you better order at least 3 tapas for yourself, and you will be spending around €35
Nice place, kind staff but clearly disappointed

Hooked
Galway
10/10/2025: This is the tastiest, crunchiest and most flavorful fish and chips in the game, and I say that as a self-proclaimed fish and chips connoisseur. You must order the mashed peas to accompany your fish and chips. It’s simply the traditional pairing. We had fresh Hake as our catch of the day. We ordered the mash and side salad and it was all fresh and delicious. Absolutely recommend - it’s been my favorite meal in Ireland thus far
09/10/2025: Omg I had one of the best fish and chips ever had (cod) but I have to take one star off as the portion was small. I’m a small woman and I still left feeling hungry after but ordering more would have been too expensive. The fish and chips was $19.40 euro. Protip ask for an extra piece of lemon!

Prátaí
Galway
19/09/2025: So delicious! Craving it after leaving the city ☹️
Got the chippi mayo with rosemary + Parmesan and loved it. Definitely had a bit of 'sea salt and vinegar' taste like advertised.
17/09/2025: My wife and I are not a fan of French fries, but today Pratai gave us a lesson. It was an amazing DISH! We never had French fries like Pratai's. We are currently traveling all over the world and so far visited 40+ countries and counting. We can simply say it was the best French fries in the world.

Garavan's
Galway
16/10/2025: A typical Irish pub on the busiest street in the city.
It's always busy, but it's easy to get a table, and they make one of the best Irish coffees I've ever had.
Despite all the crowds, the restrooms are clean, and even though the staff is overwhelmed, they're very friendly.
It also has a street-facing terrace, a bar area, and small tables in the lounges.
100% recommended.
02/10/2025: Best Irish coffee of my life. I spent the rest of my Ireland trip trying to find one just like it, but there is no comparison.
