The best restaurants in Galway

01/06/2025: Traditional pub. Great music. People of all ages and friendly.

29/05/2025: Wanted to visit but live music only started at ten so we went to nearby Guy's.

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.

14/05/2025: Un excellent restaurant bistronomique dans une petite localité irlandaise. Les produits sont frais et locaux pour beaucoup et bien travaillés Un petit conseil : optez pour le saumon. Un accueil et service aux petits oignons complètent le tableau. En conclusion, ne cherchez plus une autre adresse, vous l'avez trouvé

14/05/2025: Excellent restaurant bistronomique. Les plats sont simples mais excellents. Je vous invite à tester le saumon. L'accueil est également au top avec des explications in French. En conclusion , ne cherchez plus un autre restaurant dans cette localité, vous l'avez trouvé

17/05/2025: Great experience! This hotel is one of a kind, a beautiful Castle with unique rooms. The two brothers who run the hotel treat you like family. The bar has music, food, and drinks. The restaurant was phenomenal with professional staff. The place has a lively and welcoming feel. During a trip where we traveled to many spots in Ireland, this hotel was a complete gem in the middle of an amazing trip. This place made you feel so welcome. In a world where service and hospitality are no longer the norm, this Staff proves there are still places that value that. I cannot stress enough how much I enjoyed this hotel, thier staff, and the town.

14/05/2025: Exceptional environment, cosmopolitan but friendly and efficient staff. The place is pseudo-medieval (it actually dates from the 19th century), a bit kitsch in terms of decor. Overall, a very friendly welcome, everything started well. The website is a bit misleading, because the "five courses dinner" (5-course meal) includes, in addition to the classic starter-main course-dessert, only a trou normand (a small scoop of sorbet) and coffee or tea. The treatment center (spa, massage) that we assume is integrated is actually a separate establishment about a hundred meters from the establishment. The first evening, after dinner, no more cold water in the family's 3 rooms (so no toilet and no shower). This will be restored the next morning, around 9:00, but neither that day nor the next day, the day of our departure, will we receive an explanation or an apology from the management. For an establishment of this standing, this is more than regrettable. I therefore cannot recommend it.

18/05/2025: Not only is this the prettiest cafe you’ll ever see, they also just happen to serve the best carrot cake you will ever have in your life. And I am a carrot cake fiend! A huge slab and so moist. Perfection!

13/05/2025: Great food, incredibly welcoming people. Loved being here.

18/05/2025: Just had dinner today with the family, was excellent start to finish and will be back.

12/05/2025: An insider tip: absolutely delicious food, friendly staff, and a cozy pub. We've eaten here three times and were always satisfied.

15/06/2025: Quaint ambiance. Very good food, especially the seafood. There's often great live music in the evenings.

10/06/2025: Excellent seafood restraurant/bar. Cozy ambience

06/06/2025: This is a great restaurant in the pretty town of Clifden (a word of advice: make a reservation!). The decor is chic and welcoming. A menu that emphasizes seafood, but we also enjoyed some very good Irish meat, accompanied by a delicious whisky sauce, of course. Not to mention a great wine list from Europe, South America, New Zealand, and more.

03/06/2025: Very good fish restaurant. Restaurant atmosphere, not pub atmosphere.

25/05/2025: A nice place to eat well, the salmon with mashed potatoes is worth it.

17/05/2025: Great food,great service and good atmosphere. The chowder is absolutely delicious (and gluten free as well).

02/06/2025: My family and I had an excellent time at O’Grady’s on the Pier. The food was delicious, service was top-notch, and the view was stunning. Highly recommend.

26/05/2025: Absolutely Fantastic Food Here
