Bethlehem
Portumna
10/05/2026: A takeaway place with the option to eat in.
The ambiance is therefore rather simple and functional.
The service was quick, the food (pasta) was hot and very generously portioned.
I wouldn't go there for my wedding anniversary, but we'd happily come back for a casual dinner.
03/04/2026: Lovely spot for food. Lots of choices. Needs to be signposted a bit better as you wouldn't even know it's there if you just pass through.

02/05/2026: Authentic Irish Pub. When you’re in the area, stop by for a pint. Very kind staff. We got a flat tire on our roadtrip from Connemara to Galway. Bryan got us in touch with someone in town who changed our tire. Thank you Bryan!!!

Nokshi
Maigh cuilinn
02/05/2026: Honestly, this Indian food wasn't really for Indians. It was quite mild and didn't have much flavor. The portion size was also pretty small. The food and service didn't really match the atmosphere of the place either. The service was very slow, and the staff seemed a bit rude.
01/03/2026: The Indian cuisine is simply superb. We visited this town in the off-season, and this was one of the places open after 6:00 PM, and we were right on target. The waiters are super nice. They're helpful and informative. The food is beyond praise. Our souls and cheeks were on fire, in a good way. We were very satisfied. A must-have recommendation.
P.S. The music adds a special charm.

China Palace
Athenry
16/05/2026: We visited this tiny village by accident and instantly fell in love with the people and quaint town. I saw the Chinese restaurant and we decided to take a chance. Boy, Howdy!! It was fantastic.
The restaurant is very clean and elegant. We were next to a cozy heater and we're attended to right away by friendly servers.
We started with these airy crispy delicious light savory chip things that appear like pillowy clouds but have a light texture. I didn't detect the prawn flavor so had to stop where my husband reminded me of my shellfish allergy but I almost risked it anyway because they were so perfect.
The crispy won tons are so pretty. They look like a button of filling with a pretty twist of flaky dough tied up like a scarf and quickly fried to a perfect golden brown. They are like a little present for your mouth and the rice filling was sweet and a perfect soft and chewy texture . The duck sauce is a lovely compliment for dipping. I had to force myself to stop so I'd have room for the entree.
My husband said he loved the hot and sour soup. He asked to bring the leftovers back with us so that's a high endorsement.
I ordered an Irish beef and green pepper in black bean sauce and some noodles . They arrived in short order and were presented like a sizzling fajita in a steaming platter on a wood base. The smell had me giggling with anticipation.
The stir fried noodles were delicate and cooked to a perfect texture. They weren't gooey with sauce but lightly tossed so the flavors and seasonings coated but didn't smother the string sized noodles.
My husband got the Thai prawns and curry. A platter arrived with my entree and nested beside on a heating gadget.
We dug in deep. I knew from the appetizers that the food was going to be top notch. I wasn't wrong. The beef was tender and cooked to perfection. The sauce had a great kick but was eased by the richness of the black beans and peppercorns.
But it was the green peppers and onions that impressed me. They weren't overcooked but sliced easily and I swam a bite in the sauce and bit into the most well cooked green pepper. It still had a fresh from the garden crispness but hot and juicy going down.
We were already in love with the village and such open and kind people that we would have happily eaten pub food, again. But what a treat this restaurant is. If you're lucky enough to be in Ireland, especially within a 100 km of Galway then do your mouth a favor and get dinner here. They also do take away but the service is so good you deserve to treat yourself and some loved ones to a sit down service.
If there were ten stars I'd pick 11.
27/12/2025: Excellent restaurant 👌. Great food and excellent staff. Would recommend. Will definitely call again 👍service is spot on. Very busy restaurant and extremely busy takeaway.

Cookhouse Galway
An cheathrú rua
05/10/2025: Long day walking the Cliffs of Moher and we were looking for someplace to eat and rest our feet. Gatto Rosso let us do both.
I have an extreme dairy allergy so Italian restaurants are always a challenge. Add to that our server was very new and I ordered a no cheese pizza. Not gonna lie, I was worried. I shouldn't have been. Either the manager or the owner came out and confirmed that I wanted a no cheese pizza and assured me it would be free of any dairy. What I got was one of the best pizzas I have ever had in my life. I ate the whole darn thing because it was so good. SO got pasta and loved it. Oh and the beer was excellent.
We sat outside in the beautiful weather and people watched. When we are back in Galway not in a heat wave I will gladly sit inside.
Great food, great location and exceptional service. Thank you!
26/09/2025: Food was ok the pizza was a bit raw and the prices high even considering the location still a bit to much (Margherita 17.50) Service was ok a bit slow but friendly. All in all acceptable but not really good
