The best restaurants in Galway

30/12/2025: Nice old pub with a fireplace overlooking the Galway bay.

07/12/2025: Great little pub ..staff very friendly....good atmosphere 👌

16/03/2026: I just want to say something to people leaving reviews here. Yes, sometimes the delivery might take a bit longer than expected — it happens with many places. But please don’t destroy the rating of this place because of that. The pizza here is honestly incredible. The ingredients are fresh, the taste is amazing, and you can tell it’s made with real care. Places like this are rare. I know this spot well and every time I want to order pizza, this is the only place that comes to mind. That says a lot. Also, the staff are great — the girl at the counter is always very friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better.

02/02/2026: it’s nice and small. Love getting their small margarita pizzas.

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

08/02/2026: Service was on point, food was impecable

01/02/2026: I’ve been to this restaurant with my wife and kids three or four times before and never had any issues. Unfortunately, this visit was completely different, mainly due to the service. Our server was a young girl, so hopefully this improves with time, but on this occasion she was unfriendly and seemed completely uninterested from the start. We ordered over €200 worth of food. One person in our group wasn’t very hungry and only wanted a starter, but was told she had to order at least €15 worth of food. As a result, she was forced to order two starters just to meet the minimum spend, which felt unnecessary and unreasonable. Service was extremely slow. It took over an hour to receive our food after ordering. During that time, dozens of takeaway orders were being handed to delivery drivers. It was very obvious that takeaway app orders were being prioritised over customers dining in. After the long wait, the order was still wrong. I also brought my 4-year-old son to the toilet, and shockingly there was blood all over the underside of the toilet seat. This was absolutely disgusting and completely unacceptable, especially in a place serving food. Once the food finally arrived, the server never checked if everything was okay, never asked if we needed more drinks, and essentially disappeared. When it came time to pay, I had to get up myself to ask. I requested to pay separately for myself and for my wife and kids, and the server was clearly unhappy about having to split the bill, despite it being over €200. I will say that when the food arrived, the food itself was very good. However, the dine-in experience was so poor that I’ll only consider getting takeaway from here in the future

31/12/2025: Very friendly, warm fire, perfect little bar! Great service.

14/11/2025: Update two years on from the below: still absolutely unreal. Nostalgia can sometimes give me high hopes but Antons always delivers. The eggs are as gorgeous as they always have been and its a lovely calm morning full of clear regulars in for the best grub and relaxing start to the day. Recently revisited Antons for the first time since before the pandemic and it was refreshing to experience it only getting better. The best scrambled eggs in Ireland without a doubt, and a lovely space to enjoy them in. Loved for years and the staff are always so welcoming and friendly

08/10/2025: Very nice little café with a few seats. The cake was homemade and super delicious. Insider tip

22/10/2025: Location was wonderful. the staff was very kind and tried to be as helpful as possible… Rooms were very outdated, extremely dusty/musty, beds very uncomfortable, Wi-Fi didn’t work half the time & AC was broken with inability to be fixed. The room also smelled terribly of a nursing home which did not dissipate at all with our windows open for two days.

21/10/2025: Such a great spot! I was visiting Galway for a few days with my family, and we could not have picked a better location. All the staff were so kind. Henrique at reception in particular was incredibly helpful and very fun to converse with.

16/10/2025: Went for a morning coffee catch up with a pal. Lovely experience

03/10/2025: Amazing service and atmosphere, the owner and employees are so friendly

29/11/2025: Thanks for the hospitality! Great staff, great coffee and a nice environment to both chat and work :-)

16/11/2025: Had an amazing white chocolate with marshmallows. First time visiting. Definitely recommend 🩷

24/03/2026: Quick service, friendly atmosphere, and oh my god... it was so good!! I had the Massaman curry, and it was incredible! Having been to Thailand, I can say it's comparable to the Massaman curry the locals make there! The fried chicken appetizers were also delicious! My wife took the picture, and she had tofu noodles. She said they were also delicious!

23/03/2026: Thank you, thank you, thank you! It was delicious. A little pricey compared to what we usually pay in restaurants, but honestly... it was worth it! The flavors were the same, even better, than in Asia! It was like a culinary journey. The portions were very generous!! 🤤😋

28/12/2025: Welcoming atmosphere, highly qualified staff, very little waiting time. The pancakes are excellent, the hot chocolate is outstanding and comes with a super cute personalized design. Everyone is very friendly and helpful, but the Italian guy, Enrico, is truly exceptionally kind and courteous

18/12/2025: Top notch brunch and breakfast as well as coffee! Hands down best French toast experience I’ve had during my trip to Galway and probably ever! Flat white is on point and the value is great for portions. The smoothies are also excellent. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu!

20/04/2026: Student meal with showing ID (ISIC in my case), really quick and customizable with the spice levels and extras. (€15 with guac and a drink)

08/04/2026: We were rushing thru Galway on a tour and wanted something fast but tasty. This was the best choice the chicken burrito was spectacular, the attention was extremely good, they were so kind and helpful. Definitely worth it if you are in Galway.

17/12/2025: We stayed here for my 40th fantastic place!! They really know how to look after you would definitely recommend.

29/10/2025: I can’t comment as to the quality of the rooms as we only visited for breakfast. I was quite underwhelmed… premium prices for a very bland food offering. I felt rushed, despite the place being relatively empty perhaps best seen when the waitress ushered to clear our table whilst my wife was still eating. I shall not be coming back. Salthill Cottage is only a short drive away and offers better value, nicer surroundings, better food and nicer staff.

23/04/2026: Everyone was so lovely, everything went as it should, quizz eve is fun too!!!

06/04/2026: Tried bangers and mash, was just okay. Cozy atmosphere, not too loud during lunch time.

02/12/2025: This bakery is absolutely fantastic! They have amazing pastries, a really cozy atmosphere, and super friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit!

28/11/2025: One of most full and delicious cinnamon rolls, wow. Vanilla cottage cheese pastry was also very good.
