Moran's Oyster Cottage
13/06/2025: One of our best meals in Ireland. Do the Oysters - even if you don’t typically like oysters. Daily catch was fantastic as was the fish and chips. Team at Moran’s even had a vegan curry option for a member in our party which was delicious. Honestly though, the best thing on the menu might be the chowder. We visited Moran’s on the way back to Galway from exploring the Burren and Cliffs of Moher. If you’re not there early (17:00) on a weekday, best to book in advance.
12/06/2025: Amazing seafood, lovely friendly atmosphere and staff

Abbeyglen Castle Hotel
Clifden
20/06/2025: Great stay in a historic location. Our room was comfortable. Staff was friendly and welcoming. The owner has a nightly welcome event in the on-site pub where he details the history of the castle. He is a convivial host and he take pictures of the guests which he presents as keepsakes at dinner. Very enjoyable.
The owner is a friendly guy; however, it felt like his friendliness was more performative with us than others, which took some of the fun out of it for me. I guess we were too old and not pretty enough to be fascinating like the younger group of Canadians he seemed to fixate on.
19/06/2025: Owners were fantastic and it was a wonderful stay!!!! I will be back!!!!

01/07/2025: 2yrs ago I visited Weavers and had scone&coffee and as I had eaten dinner there 3 times in few months and wasn't impressed, I decided never again.... So two years later...On end june 2025, myself and a friend called in for dinner and the place looked lovely and more cosy, the staff were very friendly, efficient and helpful as they always are and the food was delicious. I had beef stroganoff with rice&chips and my friend had beef with gravy, chips&salad. (Chips here are moreish) Both dinners were Yum! We then ordered chocolate cake,icecream,cream and tiramisu,icecream,cream and coffee. Both again were delicious. Really delighted that Weavers have upped their game and I will be meeting more friends there soon.

Connemara Greenway Café
Oughterard
15/06/2025: My teenage daughters and I had one of the best meals in a long time for lunch. Their hake mornay was melt in the mouth. Garlic cheese bread according to a fussy teenager was " the best she ever tasted". We were welcomed by a lovely hospitable man who was genuinely interested in welcoming us. Service was excellent and pleasant. I hope to return here sometime soon again.
14/06/2025: Everything was absolutely perfect. The restaurant owner was very friendly and spoke French. You can feel the attention to detail and perfection in every dish. It was one of the best restaurants of our stay. We highly recommend it.

Sheridans
Milltown
11/06/2025: The tables were a little small and I kept banging my shins on the miniature table we were allocated. Te lasagne was tasty but the chips were from frozen I think, which was disappointing. Friendly staff but the place needs a little updating inside.
07/06/2025: Stopped in on the way from Galway to Sligo and had a lovely lunch! Food was delish and staff was lovely

Mitchell's Cafe, menu
06/07/2025: Very few rooms to visit in the main residence, so it doesn't offer a generous glimpse into the family's life in this house at the time.
The church is under renovation, but the main open area was magnificent to visit.
The botanical garden is good, but a few more interpretive panels would have been interesting to see life in the past and the use of this garden.
The shop is very good, and there's a small restaurant in the garden and at the entrance as well.
06/07/2025: The gardens are stunning and the Abbey is even more picturesque than the what you see in photos.

O'Grady's on the Pier
Bearna
05/07/2025: I was invited there – the fish is perfect. I would have eaten everything I saw in a heartbeat. Very good Pinot Grigio. Beautiful view of the pier and water.
04/07/2025: Had a big gang of people for the night before my wedding meal. Food was absolutely amazing, but the staff and management made splitting the bill very difficult and very awkward for everyone, made an unfortunate blemish on what was a lovely evening. Very unhelpful and not a smile or friendly hello to be seen.
