The best restaurants in Galway

29/09/2026: Great place for friendly gatherings!

09/09/2026: Food soon. Staff love a laugh. Great cross section of Olde Galway, great banter...

24/10/2026: We had a great time at the Full Duck Cafe ! Food was delicious, it was hard chosing only one plate... Plus large coffees that's exactly what we needed ! Service was also really lovely, we'll come back !

20/10/2026: Lovely coffee, tasty food & pleasant staff

28/10/2026: Wonderful, good beer and an even better atmosphere. Even live music!!!

28/10/2026: Great food! great history! great live music! great atmosphere! could not ask for a better pub

10/11/2025: Having wasted 10 years of my life before accidentally finding the best coffee shop (and so much more) in Galway, then to find it's closing. Such a shame because it really is so good. But at least I also now know of the other & remaining branch: Briarhill Grind here I come!

24/09/2025: Very good home made breakfast ! Scones were delicious and latte too ! Enjoy !

05/10/2026: We had the pleasure of hosting my sons 21st birthday on Saturday night in Massimos. We ordered food from Botown and the platters arrived on time just after 10pm. The food arrived piping hot and was absolutely delicious. There wasn't a scrap left! I would highly recommend Botown!

03/10/2026: Loved the place. Relaxed vibe in a quirky spot. Staff were excellent. Food was absolutely amazing. Definitely coming back every time I'm here.

26/10/2026: Always end up eating here when in Galway. Cosy pub with restaurant upstairs. Food is amazing and so are the desserts.

23/10/2026: Very comfortable and pleasant place to dine. We sat upstairs and enjoyed the ambience. Emily was a superb and gracious server. The restaurant has a very efficient team assisting in making sure you enjoy your meal. We had a very relaxing time.

01/11/2026: We popped in here on a wet and stormy Saturday afternoon. I had a very good oat chai latte and gluten free carrot cake (It was moist and delicious- really could tell it was GF!), and my sister had an excellent flat white and tasty brookie. The serving staff were lovely and the cafe provided a warm and cosy place to dry off!

23/10/2026: Busy spot. Lovely cakes even gluten free

26/10/2026: Staff were so nice to us and 6kids. Really welcoming

24/10/2026: Chicken was cold in the centre which makes me think it’s not freshly cooked and just reheated. I had to send it back to the kitchen but to be fair to the server she offered to have it remade. Also it was strange that their was no prices on the menu.

03/09/2026: Exceptional food and the staff was very welcoming and fun!

21/08/2026: I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Spanish restaurant, and it was an incredible experience. The food was absolutely amazing, with each dish offering a unique and delicious taste of authentic Spanish flavors. The drinks were also top-notch, perfectly crafted to complement the meal.The service was great—attentive and friendly, making the evening all the more enjoyable. However, there was one issue that stood out. I found it disappointing that some staff seemed to assume I was a tourist and hinted for tips. This kind of behavior is not acceptable and detracts from an otherwise fantastic experience. Overall, despite this, the exceptional food and drinks make this restaurant worth visiting. Just be mindful of the tipping expectations. Ps. After the tip say good bye properly.

23/10/2026: I was in with my family for a few hrs and main barman came to collect glasses. He asked my 18yr old son what his age was and took his drink off him. We weren't aware it was an over 21 bar. After drinking in it for a few hrs to be treated like that was very annoying. His manners leave a lot to be desired. The young blonde barmaid was a lovely and helpful girl all evening. We won't be back

17/10/2026: Overcharged 17 euro and when noticed it was corrected.

23/09/2026: Amazing, amazing and amazing! 😍

16/09/2026: A slightly upscale Asian cuisine in a very nice ambience with very delicious food and even more delicious cocktails.

10/10/2026: Fantastic experience all round. Highly recommend.

29/09/2026: Had a wonderful experience at Buddha Bar in Galway. The cocktails were excellent, and the starters from the food menu were absolutely delicious. A special mention to the staff, especially the lady who looked after us — she was so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable when recommending menu items that suited our tastes perfectly. Her advice really enhanced our visit. Great service, great food, and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended!

07/09/2026: I ordered a bento cake online from Canada and the whole process was so easy. Elite Cakes Bakery were very responsive and helpful when arranging the delivery, which made ordering from abroad completely stress-free. The cake arrived exactly as shown on their website and looked beautiful. Most importantly, I was told it was absolutely delicious and was devoured very enthusiastically! Really happy with the whole experience and would definitely recommend.

13/06/2026: On the recommendation of our wedding planner, we ordered a small wedding cake online here. It was absolutely beautiful and delicious. The wedding planner picked it up the day before the celebration and kept it chilled at our venue. The ordering and payment process was seamless. We can definitely recommend them 😊

27/05/2026: Lovely local coffee spot for the summer ☀️☕ Stopped by for a coffee and honestly such a nice place to sit, relax and enjoy the Galway sunshine. Great atmosphere, friendly service and a perfect little outdoor area to slow down for a few minutes and watch the world go by. The coffee was really good and the whole place has that simple local vibe that makes you want to come back again. Definitely a great spot during the summer if you’re around Galway and looking for a nice coffee break

05/05/2026: Delicious coffee and lovely couple !

05/10/2026: Sample spoon to taste was freely available, their chocolate ice cream is delicious.

03/10/2026: Best gelato I've had outside Italy! Many flavors to choose from and superb service/atmosphere
