The best restaurants in Galway

04/08/2026: The coffee is phenomenal and the service is exceptional. The staff are super friendly and the decor is really cool. There is a really nice atmosphere inside with plenty of seating. I got the iced latte. Perfectly made

27/07/2026: Great place with fantastic breakfast options.

04/07/2026: I was visiting Galway a few years ago and went to renzo cafe. The place was great. So on my return last week I went back in. Still brilliant. Great coffee and beautiful food. Friendly, helpful staff. As they say, Ill be back. 😄😄

28/06/2026: Love this cafe. My friends and I went multiple times on a trip to Galway and it was great every time. The food is delicious (I highly recommend recommend the Caesar wrap and the chorizo melt) and the drinks are great. The atmosphere is really nice and the music they play was always really enjoyable. The service is fantastic and everyone is really friendly. Also, the art of the walls is brilliant and relatively affordable. Definitely recommend!

29/06/2026: Wanted to like this hotel. Good breakfast, decent location. They told us we “upgraded”: to a room overlooking an active construction zone. First thing in the morning and then throughout to day there was jackhammering, drilling, shouting right outside our room that rattled the window. They cut off the power which killed the hot water during the shower. Far from a peaceful and relaxing stay. Manager Harry was terrible, tried the “gotcha” of asking if we had reported the problems when they occurred. He had no answer when he learned we had, not even a free drink or comped breakfast offered. Even if the construction is done, their attitude about how to deal with problems will remain.

24/06/2026: Stayed in newly opened section and rooms were both spacious and well appointed. Quiet location but a ride required to get into downtown area.

23/07/2026: A must go to stop for rock lovers! And they have their own beer (soft and fruity)!

21/07/2026: Very good gigs, nice place for a good rock and roll.

19/07/2026: Bar and drinking area in Galway.

19/07/2026: Absolutely loved Galway! The atmosphere was electric, some of the best pubs we have ever been in, the pints food and music were all first class!

13/05/2026: I'm here tonight to watch the Celtic vrs Motherwell game. The atmosphere is electric. I haven't eaten but the food looks great.

01/05/2026: English pub, young and friendly staff, good beers and excellent Italian pizza served until 10pm. Well done!

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

28/07/2026: Took the Full Irish Breakfast. Really good and good quantity of food really recommend it

22/07/2026: Definitely my favorite restaurant in Galway! The specialty coffee is amazing, there are loads of vegetarian options, and they're always happy to adapt dishes for dietary restrictions. I was honestly surprised by how many great breakfast and lunch options they have, with a delicious mix of Irish and Brazilian food, so there's really something for everyone. The staff are so lovely and welcoming, they genuinely go out of their way to make sure you have the best experience. The atmosphere is super cozy, the music is great, and the seaside location makes it even more special. Everything I've tried has been so good that I just want to keep coming back until I've tried the whole menu! If you're in Galway, you definitely won't regret checking this place out! :)

15/07/2026: A bit hidden from the street, which actually was nice since it was so busy that day in Galway. The food was delicious. We had the lamb tagine and the sweet lamb tagine, which came in big portions. The service was great as well! They offered everyone a jug of water for deze, which was extra welcome because of the heat outside. There's no alcohol on the menu, but you can grab an alcoholic drink in the bar downstairs and bring it to the restaurant.

10/07/2026: Such a hole in the wall cozy calm place away from the noise of latin quarters. Food was really really good. Ordered a soup and a falafel plate. Falafel was light (not oily) and fluffy. The side salad was delicious. The bread with soup was lovely as well. Highly recommend this place!

17/07/2026: Wife and I stumbled across this pub walking home from dinner on a summer Thursday night. It was an amazing experience, hard to describe, but maybe like walking into a large Irish musical family's home. About 15 musicians ranging in age from perhaps 80 to 25, sitting in a circle, and jamming out Irish jigs and ballads. Not sure how often it happens, but if it's on, you should go!

07/07/2026: Great evening with a group on Friday. Staff very accommodating, atmosphere brilliant. We all had a great night.

29/07/2026: As a Celiac I appreciated the dedication they take on cross contamination and their gluten free options available. I had their GF fish and chips and it was amazing. They even had a GF IPA on tap. Highly recommended.

28/07/2026: Cozy, delicious food, and the service was top-notch.

14/06/2026: Had such a great time, the atmosphere was fantastic, and the bartenders where excellent in their work and their personalities. There are 2 bartenders who need a shout out too and that is Mark and the only female bartender whose name i never knew but she was phenomenal also, the management should be proud of the atmosphere they have created and the entertainment has been number 1

13/06/2026: Outstanding service, great atmosphere!

26/07/2026: The wait was much less than the 45 minutes we were quoted. The fish of the day, salmon, was cooked to perfection with crispy skin. The bread and butter pudding was just right, not too sweet, like my mum used to make. With just a nice amount of ice cream on the side.

26/07/2026: Really fun bar for live music. Drinks were good and we were able to dance.

10/03/2026: Very friendly staff and great food! Highly recommend

20/02/2026: We went to the restaurant without a reservation, but they were very kind and found us a table. Just as their menu says, it's not a fast-food restaurant: the burgers were delicious and the service was fantastic. It was a great find near our hotel, and we're very happy with it. Absolutely recommended.

11/07/2026: I haven’t even left the table(still eating), and everything is just superb! The place is beautifully decorated, easy to find, the atmosphere is amazing, and the food is out of this world! Best Spanish food in Ireland easily

08/07/2026: Went here on Sunday 5th and was blown away by everything. The most amazing thing was the staff. We were sat downstairs with three servers - one was Davide and then one male and female whose name we didn’t catch. They were so so wonderful and chatty and helpful throughout the whole meal helping us with recommendations etc. Overall a lovely experience 💓
