The best restaurants in Galway

30/08/2026: We had a wonderful time at the Menlo Park Hotel. All the staff were lovely, very friendly, and always attentive to our needs. We were particularly impressed by the number of staff available during breakfast and the excellent service from the entire team. The rooms are comfortable and quite nice. The breakfast is plentiful and good. Although at first glance the hotel might seem a bit far from the center of Galway, it's actually only a 20-25 minute walk. It's a very pleasant stroll, and you also pass by several shopping centers, which is very convenient if you need to buy anything. We also greatly appreciated the free parking. All in all, a very enjoyable stay. We especially want to highlight the friendliness of the staff, the location, the comfort of the rooms, and the free parking. Congratulations to all the staff for their excellent service!

21/09/2026: Great food. I asked for extras that were not on menu and it was no problem for them to do. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Friendly service. It's also reasonably priced for the quality that is provided.

28/09/2026: Very expensive for what you get

08/11/2026: Had an absolutely amazing experience at Tulsi Restaurant, Galway! 😍 The food was delicious, fresh and full of flavour. The Jal Frezi was absolutely amazing, although it wasn't very spicy. If you love something spicy, the Chilli Nan is a must-try! 🌶️ The naans were perfectly cooked, soft and delicious. The Mango Lassi was excellent, and the complimentary chutney was the perfect start to the meal. The music was lovely and complemented the ambience perfectly, creating a warm, relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. The staff were lovely and the overall experience was really enjoyable. Great food, lovely service and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely a place I'd love to visit again! ❤️ Highly recommended! My Ratings Ambience & Music: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Staff & Service: 5/5 Value for Money: 4.5/5 Overall Experience: 5/5

07/11/2026: Kabir was exeptional verry friendly and made us feel welcome from the minute we walked in the butter chicken was perfect and the vegetarian dish we ordered was perfect aswell 10/10

17/10/2026: Excellent service. Well thought through in every way (needs an extra bathroom though)

16/10/2026: Nice coffee and food but very expensive, i bought 2 coffees one chocolate croissant and my son had some type of eggs benedict and it cost 28 euro, 😯

18/10/2026: Bakebox is such a fantastic little spot with an incredible selection of freshly baked goodies, delicious pastries, sandwiches and sweet treats. Everything looks so tempting that it’s genuinely hard to choose what to get! The quality and variety are amazing, and the whole place has such a lovely, welcoming feel. Staff are extremely friendly and welcoming ❤️

18/10/2026: Stopped in with my girlfriend and her dad, I had custard brioche, my girlfriend had apple brioche and her dad had 2 cheesecake, we got 2 of their doughnuts for takeaway (Kinder Bueno & Pistachio) 3 coffees, we sat in and had the coffee and brioche and they were amazing, Fresh and tasty the coffee was amazing too and to top it all off the staff extremely friendly and so welcoming I would highly recommend this amazing bakery we will definitely be back here brilliant business.

19/10/2026: This place could have been great… my advice is make sure you ask to be seated in the cottage area, it’s so nice and cozy! The back area SUCKS!! What pissed me off is that we walked in ahead of another party, we were seated in the crappy back area and the people who arrived AFTER us were sat in the nice cottage area. I asked to move and was told ‘there’s no space there’. So overall very dissatisfied.

18/10/2026: We were looking forward to trying the Sunday roast, particularly as it’s cooked over open coals. The main course was well cooked and tasty, unfortunately that’s where the positives end. The dining area is awkward and feels like the space was never designed to be a restaurant. The chairs don’t fit the tables and the tables are randomly placed. The toilets open directly into the main dining area. A makeshift bar solidifies this disjointed atmosphere. Despite trying their best, there were only two waiting staff who were run off their feet and unable to clear plates in time, or bring us drinks before our food was ready. The desert was thoroughly disappointing, a cold “warm apple crumble”- completely inedible.

30/10/2026: I brought a group of 17 tennis players for our Annual Player’s Dinner on Wed Oct 28th. We always go to The Galleon and everybody enjoyed the food. There was great variety, very helpful waiting staff and very prompt service. I am bringing another group of over 20 for dinner in November. The Galleon was a worthy recipient of Restaurant of the year. Mike Geraghty

28/10/2026: We had a fantastic meal. Great fish and chips, salmon, and cottage pie. Excellent service.

25/10/2026: I asked for the bill three times before I could pay. Otherwise food was good

23/10/2026: Great atmosphere! Wonderful live music! It's incredibly crowded on Saturday nights, and it's hard to find even a spot. It's worth arriving early, as security guards monitor capacity limits, and sometimes you have to wait in line outside. I was there for the Leatsa concert—they played AMAZING!

01/11/2026: We just had a gorgeous roast beef lunch in Blakes. It was fresh, tasty & a very generous portion with lots of beef with gravy, mashed & roast potatoes and green beans & carrots and a Yorkshire pudding. The service was excellent and attentive. There was a lovely relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

20/10/2026: The place is truly authentic! The food is interesting. Nice for lunch, although a bit pricey.

24/09/2026: Food was standard and pricey. but the beer is top notch a great collection. There midweek busy with but really no atmosphere. I'd recommend cause of the beer selection

18/09/2026: I personally really enjoyed it and discovered the Ostara Stout, but that wasn't all! The bar is very large with a big room at the back. Gamers gather there and create a lively atmosphere. We enjoyed our dinner in a warm and peaceful setting.

18/10/2026: Delicious pizza, fast and friendly service.

17/10/2026: We had a lovely evening here last Saturday. Great welcome and attentive service. We had delicious penne, linguine & lasagne dishes with chips and garlic bread. There were no delays and all other diners seemed to be enjoying the experience as much as us.
