The best restaurants in Galway

29/06/2026: A gem , a must visit. Great coffee and offering in a scenic setting

19/10/2025: Delicious food, fast service, nice atmosphere and all the staff super friendly and attentive.

04/09/2025: Manager/owner? was quite rude when I tried ordering a half and half pint. Came back to our table and made a snide comment about how nice that the ice cream we ordered was just one flavor.

17/05/2026: Our waitress Bev was lovely and made our experience. Friendly & professional- asset to the company!

16/05/2026: The food is good . The staff are abit unatentive . At 4.30pm on a saturday the floor was unclean, tables not cleared away after people had left them. The site itself is need of new cleaners and or a make over as its just grim . The gents toilet room and doors are not nice . The more you look the more you see its run down.

02/04/2026: Couldn't be more positive about a place in regards to food, service and atmosphere. They are brilliant and always look forward to going back

23/03/2026: Had dinner here tonight pad thai was perfect and green curry delicious

07/05/2026: Always a good meal,good value with nice people.

29/03/2026: I really like the food here but no card machine and can't order online at this stage it's inconvenient

05/06/2026: Chicken was very dry, kept warm too long.

20/05/2026: I was very exited to see the first supermacs, I went in to a foul smelling restaurant, waited at the till for about 5 minutes while being ignored, in these 5 minutes I witnessed a worker drop a cup and then use it, people putting their hands in bins and then touching food. The level of hygiene is very low. I would not recommend going. I am a major fan of supermacs and made the 4 hr journey to see it and it was massive let down. There was a picture of a human pig on one of the computers, it amused me.

05/06/2026: Great portion sizes and the food is good for a aupermacs. Small location,Loud and a little chaotic

04/05/2026: **Edited** Fair play to them they seem to have given this some attention and have significantly improved their delivery service :) ---- Supermacs is great I love it - but the delivery service is really slow in Athenry. I know it's probably busy as hell, but 1.5 hours is too long to wait for an order to arrive. It's annoying because I want to order, I like Supermacs, but we don't wanna go out and grab the food sometimes, but it's literally not worth it unless you order like 2 hours in advance. We won't be ordering online anymore - Will still get collection sometimes because let's be honest - Supermacs is the best

01/11/2025: I’m a regular customer & the team here are absolutely lovely!! Always warm & welcoming!! Keep up the great work guys!! ❤️

08/10/2025: Best coffee around Oranmore. Shop is usually busy but always served quickly

05/05/2026: Ordered 4-1 sunday. Chicken was not cooked! I rang and sent photos women said the chicken was cooked😂❌🤮🤮

22/01/2026: Home from home. Going to stir fry for nearly 20 years . The food is always good. And the service top class

28/05/2026: Really nice, and the owner and servers are very friendly.

24/05/2026: A typical pub. You can't go wrong coming here. I'd even say that the locals come here.

04/04/2026: The servers were very friendly and the food was very good, homemade and full of flavor with fresh vegetables.

06/02/2026: I've had Chinese food all over Ireland, England and America and this is my favourite Chinese out of everywhere. The House Special curry is the most delicious curry I've ever had (ask for it extra spicy). It's been great for years.

18/12/2025: Fabulous hotel, great staff, pet friendly, the food was amazing!

25/11/2025: Ill start with the positives, the food was amazing. I must say props to the chef. I had a fabulous and generously portioned meal for 9 the star is for the food as everything else went terribly. Following my graduation my family of 9 persons went to this hotel to enjoy a family meal. The first issue is in regards to building maintence. The dad cut through his trousers and his leg on a sharp protruding piece of metal acting as a box cover. You can see from the images attached that the cover is missing 2 rivents and is only secured in the middle. My dad brought this to the managers attention who came over to our table halfway through our meal dispiting it with him. He did offer to reduce the price of the meal by 15% however the suit was bought only that morning and that wouldnt cover the cost of a replacement pair of trousers. My dad explained that he didnt want ot have the argiment at the table while trying to enjoy the meal but the manager continued then offering 50€ off (which was less then 15% of our bill...) He said the general manager will be in touch and took our details so we are awaiting a call. We were initally sat at a high stoll table, we asked to swap to a lower table which was done for us no problem as my grandmother was unable to sit at the higher stool due to them not having back rests. We asked a girl who explained it was her fist day if we could mood and she went to ask another person. After about 5 minutes of talking and looking at us another memeber of the wait staff came over and said we could move. There was a bit of a wait for the starters and mains but nothing too extreme we were happy enough to wait. The same lady who moved us was quite rude when we were enquiring about the startes. The menu here has a "Lighter Dishes" section, we asked if that was there starter section and she clarified this to us in a way as if to say we were stupid. "Yeah... thats the starters, is there another quesiotn?". Desserts took quite some time to be brought our. We ordered 3 desserts as the generous portion sizes had us full up. They took 35 minutes to be brought out. I wonder if they were milking the cows in the back to make the cream. At the end of the meal the bill came out and didnt match the prices on the menu at all. Ive attached images of both their menu and the prices on our bill. We were too tired and warm at this point to bother arguing as the lady taking our bill was the same lady who had been rude earlier. The final kick in the teath was the phrasing of their tips. Menu states groups over 8 have gratuity of 10% included however on the bill it is down as suggested even though it is mandatory. Its only a small thing but it added insult to ingury. Previous vists to this place have been nice. Once i was sushed while entering their upstiars returaunt however I was apologised too after bringing it the the managers attention. I love the locaiton and food here but it has really given me a bad tatse now. I dont think me or my family will return which is a shame because we love their pizzas and come rather often. UPDATE No contact from a manager as promised. Cowboy Buisness people operating in Barna. Anyone looking for a place to stay or eat - do not. Plenty of better options in Galway. Avoid this dump like the plague Update again No hope in getting any help. Management have not contacted and when calling say they have no idea what I’m on about. Avoid at all costs. Update again, years later: I still email from time to time and yet no one there cares. I have not been back since (despite being a regular before) and always suggest for people to avoid it like the plague.

11/04/2026: Hotel is lovely, staff were so friendly and helpful. Family room was so spacious. Room and ensuite was spotless and had everything anyone needed. Breakfast was lovely. Great parking at the back of hotel. We really enjoyed our time there.

26/02/2026: Staff friendly, apart from lady in bar, unwelcoming looked like she didn't want to be there. Everyone else was ok. Distinct smell of old grease as soon as you get to any of the doors, and inside the Hotel. Room is freezing cold, bathroom mold in shower tray, dirty shower head, mold along the top of the ceiling, and the glass shower door edges. The ceiling in main room had quite a bit of water damage in 2 places, room 215. Cobwebs everywhere, carpet dated. No firedoor at all. Smell of grease in room too. Had to ask to be moved, which they did. And they gave us a portable heater. Room 218, only slightly better, but again freezing, so welcomed to have the heater, no firedoor. Could see the hall light under the gap of door at night time. Smoke detector had a plaster on it, remote for TV didn't work properly at all. Restaurant, seats actually stuck to the floor, looked like the cold breakfast items were left out over night. Had some food in bar first night and ended up with food poisoning. Wouldn't eat in there again.

03/11/2025: An incredible experience! We're from Spain and have been to many Michelin-starred restaurants and other high-quality establishments, and this chef has truly surprised us. Our sincerest congratulations. Spectacular flavors, an amazing setting, and we had to have seconds of the dessert. Keep it up, and you'll achieve everything you set your mind to.

01/11/2025: From the start to the end it was an experience. A safari of dishes mafe with a chef with a salient eye for detail. The orient express carriage takes you away, enabling a step out of reality and providing the escapism we often all so crave. Led by Ian, the restaurant manager, he is endowed with his exceptional front of house team. Sophie was excellent also. She could really put a spin on the explanations and the staff seemed so engaged. The team are so well drilled and they know their product inside out. As regards the food offering, we thought this was exceptional. Service was razor sharp. From the quality of the food down to the chefs magic with herbs, the provenance of the dishes, the cooking styles and just the crockery, cutlery and general magic that prevaded throughout the experience. If you like a treat or like fine dining. This is a must do. We opted for the wine pairing. It was sublime. Take a bow.

05/05/2026: Tasty and fresh food Friendly and helpful people

08/04/2026: Enjoyed two bowls of amazing soup and brown bread. The chowder was fantastic. Great friendly service in a nice pub atmosphere.
