The best restaurants in Galway

08/12/2025: The best seafood I had in Ireland. The seafood tower is a must try and great for a special occasion.

06/12/2025: The food was bland, unimaginative, and tasteless. We had a starter and a main course, but after these, we decided to skip dessert. There were only one size of wine glasses available, so we had to drink the Pinot Noir from a very small white wine glass. The service was inadequate and showed little interest in us, including our criticism. We felt that the service was somewhat arrogant and snobbish. We certainly won't be returning.

11/04/2026: Myself and my wife went here for dinner our first night in Galway. I had the curry and she had the steak sandwich. Both were absolutely delicious. We ended up staying there for the rest of the night, because the atmosphere and craic was great. They had some amazing music and the staff were so friendly.

04/04/2026: Outstanding lunch! This place has a lot of charm, the food was delicious and the service was extremely friendly and attentive. If we are ever back in Galway, would absolutely come back.

04/05/2026: Would highly recommended anyone going into Galway centre should go to Darcy’s Bar. Amazing atmosphere and staff are wonderful! Had the best time, will be coming back very soon and this place will be the first place I go!!! From England Kent.

28/04/2026: Chill atmosphere, very kind personal. Ten stars.🤗

03/07/2025: Wonderful specialty coffee served in a cozy café by extremely knowledgeable and friendly people.

02/07/2025: without a doubt the best coffee shop in Galway. You won’t find a place like it! They always have such an interesting rotation of different coffees and they’re always delicious!

08/11/2025: Absolutely outstanding! I can’t recommend Elite Cake Boutique Galway highly enough! I simply told her, “I trust you — do what you can,” and she absolutely delivered beyond all expectations. The cake she created was perfect inside and out — beautifully designed, full of creativity, and so much attention to detail. It was for a special 25th anniversary, and she captured the poker theme flawlessly — from the cards and chips to every little decoration. Everyone was amazed by how stunning it looked, and even more impressed by how delicious it tasted! You can tell she puts her heart into every creation. Thank you so much for making something so special and memorable — you truly went above and beyond. 💖🎂👏 Elite Cake Boutique Galway — pure talent and perfection!

27/10/2025: My first experience with this bakery and I've absolutely zero regrets. They made THE BEST cake! Every guest loved it. A wee bit pricey but at the end of the day it's worth each penny of it! Keep up the good work!

07/01/2026: By far the best coffee in Galway City. David is a fabulous man who has such a passion for coffee. The effort he goes to every day to pour “perfection in a cup” has to be applauded. It’s certainly not an ordinary coffee shop, expect something different and be pleasantly surprised. A great coffee experience & one you will remember.

19/12/2025: Had a excellent coffee here this morning, Top notch😁☕️

29/08/2025: Amazing! I placed an order from Spain and couldn't be happier with both the product and kindf_olk. I recommend it. Thank you very much!

01/07/2025: Georgia is amazing!! Thank you so much for making our group laugh and giving us so many amazing recommendations. Next time we come through, we’ll make sure to visit you first for suggestions on how to maximize our time. You’re cool af. #skinnyjeansforever

22/11/2025: Fantastic Pizza, and the owner is very friendly

23/10/2025: Best pizza in Galway. Quality of ingredients is top class. Service is super friendly and fast. Been ordering regularly, every time food is perfect. Definitely recommend!

30/09/2025: Best coffee to be had in Galway. Excellant pasteries. Great service.

06/12/2025: Got sandwiches for a an event about month ago so fresh and great value.

18/08/2025: Excellent pastries, sandwiches & service!

29/01/2026: Never peeking up the phone , calld in like 20 times in the roll no body even bother

21/01/2026: I often go to Capones with family and it's a great choice! The food, service, and atmosphere are great. Personally recommend their Fusilli Al Pesto and their Homemade Lasagna.

01/04/2026: Delicious vegetarian dishes, a spectacular flat white, friendly people, and it would have been worth stopping here just for the excellent flapjack. Lovely, highly recommended, and a bit off the beaten track from Galway's tourist hotspots in the Latin Quarter!

05/03/2026: Had a lovely visit to Jemi Lighthouse Cafe, a fully vegan café located close to AIB. It’s a cute and an Instagram-friendly spot with a cozy vibe. I tried the Terryland Reuben sandwich and the Salthill Squash Salad, and both were tasty. The only downside was that the portion sizes felt a bit small for the price. The place was quite busy over the weekend, but we managed to get seats on the high chairs along the window aisle. Overall, it’s a good little spot for a quick vegan snack, and I would recommend stopping by if you’re in the area.

22/10/2025: The best breakfast I’ve ever had! Breakfast bagel and pancakes were amazing! Had to come back the next day! 100/10

19/10/2025: Delicious Irish coffee and breakfast. Great prices

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 !

31/10/2025: We had a great 3 days here in October, hotel is a 15 minute walk from Eyre Square, easy access to other points of Galway. Family rooms were a great size and the breakfast was really good too

30/10/2025: Good hotel, very convenient location for touring around Galway. Lady at breakfast each was fantastic. Good for a short stay.
