The best restaurants in Galway

09/09/2025: Its such a shame this place is so hidden!! Hopefully we can make it less 'hidden gem' and more 'fan favorite.' I've never had a better cup of coffee in Galway and the deals they have on are insane. If you want the CHEAPEST and BEST cup of coffee you've had, its worth the trip. Not to mention the owner is so incredibly kind and knowledgeable about what hes doing. There's an outdoor seat and and the food was so good for such a cute little sandwich. I genuinely wish them the best success and if anyone in the park hasn't checked them out, they should!

09/09/2025: Brilliant coffee and a great place for lunch

21/09/2026: I always have this place for Irish breakfast. I like it here. Friendly staffs.

07/08/2026: Traditional Irish food, I highly recommend!

01/09/2026: They need to work hard on keeping the food consistent. One dinner chicken sent back because it was red in the middle, they brought the same chicken back burnt!

30/08/2026: Got the lamb doner kebab lrd dish, not the meal. Doesn't come with rice, heads up. The meal size does and with a drink. If you don't eat large portions, this is a good size meal, the bigger size is good for sharing for 2. I did not find it spicy, for those sensitive to the heat. Perfectly seasoned. Would recommend.

23/08/2026: Tasty food good service staff were very helpful and friendly

22/08/2026: Bustling and cosy for mid morning coffee and cake on a Tuesday 😃I had an excellent oat cappuccino with a delicious slice of lemon drizzle (gluten free). My Mam had a latte and flaky croissant. It was all lovely and the servers were friendly and helpful 😃

13/09/2026: I highly recommend it. Super nice service, cozy ambience and very tasty food. We would definitely come back! 💛

17/08/2026: Lovely restaurant with amazing staff.

18/06/2026: Perfect place for Pasta-lovers and vegans♡

09/05/2026: Had the vegan bolognese and vegan pistachio pesto, both were fantastic, pesto was the standout. Vegan garlic bread also delicious. Nice cosy vibe and quick service. Highly recommend!!

11/09/2026: Quaint cafe right across the street from thd ocean. Excellent view. The servers c were very friendly and corteous. Good coffee. I had a full irish breakfast. The black pudding was delicious as were the pork sausage and beans. My wife ordered a porridge scones with fruit, she loved it.

01/09/2026: Class cafe … does a fabulous classic omelette 💚 super staff and a pure local Vibe

17/09/2026: You cannot visit Galway's Latin Quarter without stopping at McDonagh's! We ordered the traditional fried cod and chips, and the portions were absolutely massive. The fish was incredibly fresh—perfectly crispy and golden on the outside while remaining light and juicy on the inside. I loved that the chips are cut fresh right on the premises rather than being frozen. You order at the counter, and the food comes out remarkably fast even though the place is always packed with energy. It has a great, casual, historic maritime vibe with shared picnic-style tables. Fast service, great prices, and delicious tartar sauce. A flawless, authentic Irish chippy experience that I’ll be dreaming about until my next trip back to Ireland!

14/09/2026: The fish & chips is good and the serving is considering fast. The environment may be coming busy during dinner time.

30/08/2026: Very good, but we waited a long time.

29/08/2026: I got takeaway, expensive Chinese, not good food.

28/07/2026: I had the Tuna Melt, lovely. Very good service but this was just after the lunch period. Very friendly and very polite.

23/07/2026: A delicious brunch at this lovely café in Athlone. We ordered an iced coffee and a salmon bagel, and it was a great choice. The service was very friendly and attentive, and you could tell the food was fresh and very well prepared. A highly recommended spot for a relaxing and high-quality brunch. We'll definitely be back!

26/06/2026: What a gem of a hotel! Centrally located on Eyre Square and so easy to find. The rooms were super comfy and had great amenities. The staff is extremely welcoming, friendly, courteous, and helpful. Short walking distance to the train and bus station. Highly recommend!

17/06/2026: I don’t think there’s a bad thing I could say about this place! Stayed in June 2024 for 2 nights. Location is great, staff were more than friendly, the two twin beds were fairly comfy (I hate a hard bed) and it was nice to be a part of the action with the bar so close below. When booking (like 8-9 months in advance) I asked to reserve a room in a quieter area and they fulfilled that request. We couldn’t hear anything from our room (above the closed night club, at the back I believe) and they provided us with earplugs just in case! Only thing we personally struggled with was the parking at the mall… could have been the jet lag though lol. When I come back to Galway (one day!) I’ll be staying here again. Thanks Skeff!

26/08/2026: Highly recommended, delicious food, good wines and a very nice owner.

21/08/2026: Great place where we could enjoy local fish and cheese as well as incredibly original Hungarian wine (and great music!) - highly recommended!

31/08/2026: Simple. Get there. Authentic...

29/08/2026: My fiancee enjoyed the pizza, the ambiance was lovely. Contrary to Google however, there are no vegan options listed on the menu.
