The best restaurants in Galway

30/09/2026: Very nice local restaurant with very generous portions and reasonable prices. We had the Chicken Caesar Salad and the Warm Salmon Salad. Both were excellent. We also had the Bruschetta as an appetizer and the Bailey's Cheesecake for dessert. The Cheesecake was quite good, but the bruschetta was more like a mini-pizza then an actual bruschetta. We'll be back to try other dishes when we're in the area.

17/09/2026: We needed somewhere to eat dinner close to the Clayton Hotel. We asked Google what was near by. Limited choices - but we were very happy to find Bethlehem Galway. NOTE: Prices have increased by 1/3 since the last menu photos posted 6yrs ago. Current prices = €15-20 per main dish. I've attached photos of the current menu as of Sep.2026. Three of us dined. We ordered curry chicken - with 1/2 rice and 1/2 fries, chicken donair, tagliatelle Maria gratia - with the creamy garlic sauce. The food was delivered to the table so quickly. It was delicious! All three dishes were yummy 😋. It was still a good price for the meal received. Portions were the perfect size. The bathroom was clean and tidy. Plenty of parking. Vegetarian options available. Sweet dessert options looked so good - but I was too full to have some. The server was pleasant, like so nice, but difficult to understand sometimes due to the accent and how quickly she spoke. But she was really so, so lovely.

27/09/2026: We came to the restaurant without a reservation, and there was plenty of space, so getting a table was not a problem. The menu is not particularly large, but we ordered a portion of octopus, two portions of pork tacos, two cocktails, and a juice. The total bill came to €87. It felt a little expensive, especially considering that the portions were quite small. However, I have to say that everything was really delicious, and we were very happy with the food. The dishes were well prepared and full of flavor. Overall, we had a good experience and enjoyed our meal.

26/09/2026: We went to sangria for my wife's birthday had a great time service was quick and lovely food was delisous, special shoutout to Jacob who was really friendly and brought cocktails and food down super fast. Helped with my wife's birthday celebration by giving her the sambrero minus the public song. Would visit again.

17/10/2026: Love the place, great coffee, lovely atmosphere. I am coming frequently enough and was never disappointed.

16/10/2026: I ordered the honey crepe, it came out cold with cream on the side, I asked for it to be heated in the microwave, the pancake came out just as cold again and the cream hadn't melted which I knew then it couldn't have been in the microwave. When I paid I just mentioned it had been cold, the table staff member was extremely rude saying how did I expect it to be, as I was leaving the same member rudely shouted I'd like to see how you make them at home rather than apologizing.

26/10/2026: Great coffee and pastries, and lovely staff that will cheer up your mood more often than not. Their carrot cake is one of the best, if not the best I've ever had. They have good enough sitting space of all kinds: sofas, chairs, benches, stools, both interior and exterior seating. Can get busy on the weekends.

17/10/2026: I'm Japanese! The atmosphere and staff are perfect! The coffee is delicious too. It seems to be a cafe where many dogs come, and it has a very warm atmosphere. The outdoor seating looked nice on sunny days!

23/07/2026: Great service and quality stouts

02/07/2026: This is a fabulous pub! We visited when it was very quiet, on a mid-week early afternoon, so we kinda had the place to ourselves. The barman was very attentive, friendly, helpful and happy to chat and answer any questions we had. Great decor, nice chilled atmosphere. The beers we had (Smithwicks & Beamish) were absolute beauties! Quality beer, well kept! Highly recommend this place, fantastic!

05/10/2026: Been here a few times the last few weeks. Almond croissants are good, everything else is below or way below where it should be. Coffee is average, ham and cheese croissant is very greasy and this is supposed to be a chicken sandwich of some sort. Atrocious

17/10/2026: Great service! The waitress, Maddie, is amazing! She seems so kind. The other staff was so nice as well. I had the beef burger with fries: the burger was great - except for the dry bun; the fries weren’t really my thing , but that’s just preference!

04/10/2026: This place is simply superb. I recommend it to anyone who wants a delicious meal. I go to my favorite restaurant almost every 10 days.
