The best restaurants in Galway

07/09/2025: We had lunch at this cafe after a walk in Kilcornan Woods and before heading to Galway. I had a slice of beetroot, goat cheese, and walnut quiche there, which was a real treat for the taste buds. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. :)

01/08/2025: I did love the poached eggs breakfast but €4.20 for a latte is a step too far. €4.00 for take away with own cup. There is a well known lovely cafe in Galway city that only charges €2.80 for a latte with own cup and has the most amazing food at great prices. Will bypass now en route to Burren to pick up a coffee from now on

12/01/2026: Whoever was on the ice creams last Saturday the 10th of January in the loughrea plaza, keep them in the job, i had a Ferrero moozie and it was the best I ever had in my 46 years of life, they did not hold back on the choclate sauce, fair game and well worth the money, in other places I have been youd need a search party for the choclate in the ice cream... please dont give poor review ratings for the workers.. put yourself in their shoes, its one of the hardest jobs dealing with tricky customers, take that into consideration when writing reviews.... rate the system, not the workers....

20/12/2025: Ordered for collection. The order took nearly an hour to make even though it wasn't busy. Order was wrong and cold. Order chicken burger and cheese burger. Got 2 chicken burgers. I went back and got the cheese burger. At home it turned out the chicken burger was a chicken breast sandwich with bacon and no lettuce? The "Just made" garlic bread was cold, just as was the pizza. What a disaster 👎👎

27/08/2025: Terrible service Stephen should be in a nursing home He has no way of dealing with the public

25/08/2025: Our family had a very memorable stay here. Rooms were very clean with a lot of space. The breakfast was excellent. The location was perfect, right in the middle of scenic places to drive. The best part was the staff who were so friendly and made sure we have a lovely stay. Thank you so much!

14/12/2025: We had to wait for ages for someone to take our oder. The soup was lovely, but we got our dinner the same time as our soup, so they had to take that back to keep it warm. This is the Roots in Oranmore. The Roots in Loughrea is lovely

27/09/2025: We had a lovely goat cheese salad, two big pieces of goat cheese, chicken and bacon sandwich and vegetable soup. All delicious 😋 cappuccino and cola for drink.

04/02/2026: I love the food here it is amazing and affordable

27/01/2026: Love this place. Food is great and staff are always friendly and welcoming. Good selection on menu. Would recommend.

24/10/2025: TOTALLY UNRELIABLE On August 10th, I booked Vaughans Pub/Accommodation (Clifden) through the Booking platform for €90, and the reservation was confirmed. On August 11th, the property sent me this message: "Hi, Sadly, due to an error, this room is not available on your chosen date. To avoid charges, we suggest you cancel this booking. Apologies for any inconvenience. Regards, Vaughans." Moral of the story: the day before leaving for Ireland, I was forced to cancel my reservation at this B&B on Booking (otherwise, adding insult to injury, I'd have to pay for it) and look for alternative accommodations, so as not to risk having to sleep in my car. I found accommodation (for €160), located in a different location and far from Clifden, which forced me to change my travel itinerary (a lot). When I complained about this inappropriate behavior and asked for a refund of at least the €70 difference, both Vaughans and Booking refused, or even bothered to respond. I contacted my lawyers, who told me that since the property is outside Italy, suing them for damages is a waste of time. Oh, I forgot: during my planned stay, the Connemara Pony Show was taking place in Clifden, so the town was full of tourists... Need I say more? I'm writing for the record.

31/01/2026: Beautiful atmosphere and friendly service.

06/10/2025: Great spot to stop and eat during our trip.

16/01/2026: We had a lovely dinner at the Beefeater (4 adults and 2 kids) - food was lovely, service was excellent! Thank you!

12/01/2026: Quick friendly staff food good came out quicky too.

31/12/2025: Not a very nice place to eat, staff are somewhat direct, especially the manager.will be avoiding in the future, portions were terrible.

30/12/2025: Mean staff, they have no clue, they'd charge for salt if they could get away with it... we'll avoid the next visit, or remortgage the house.

10/11/2025: Love this place , lovely atmosphere, Thomas the Barman is a real gem he will always greet the customers with a big smile or his cheeky wink if his hands are full , he alone makes the place welcoming and Ann a bar lady here also you couldn’t hope for a nicer greeting from either one , NO COMPLAINTS , and the people of Cong and Mayo in general are DECENT welcoming people , so definitely give Danaghers a visit , my feeling is you shouldn’t regret it Clint and Anna

29/08/2025: Came from Belfast looking forward to the quiet Man village got told about the food was really looking forward to have are dinner and was waiting in the bar area with all our kids for over two hours which we came with free families in total. There was kids everybody was hungry and looking forward to their meals. There was a foreign man behind the bar which told us food will be served at 5 o’clock which it was 3 o’clock then when 5 o’clock came, they would not serve us other people in which we seen when we was in the bar across the way getting food devastated and that happened? Do not recommend at all due to foreigners working in the bar given false information and was very rude!!!

21/09/2025: Nice place one time visit restaurant. Veg patala was good. Chicken Madrass could be more better.

17/08/2025: Be careful, the prices listed aren't the prices they charge in the end! They say it's too complicated to redo the menus!! Apart from that, the meal was okay, but a little disappointing...

12/09/2025: One of the best Indian takeaways we've had in a long time. Amazing Chicken Tikka Masala and super service.

28/08/2025: We ordered some takeout and were pleased with the quality of the food. Prices were average.

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.

26/08/2025: Very nice place to get lunch or eat a takeaway pizza in the evening. The service from staff was great, all of them very kindly. About the food, one day we got fish and chips and honestly was better than expected, not the same with homemade lemonade and ice tea, completely avoid order these. Another day we ordered few takeaway Pizzas around 9pm when every other place around is not serving food so they saved us.

23/08/2025: Ordered a salad and soup. Very little options for drinks, gin and tonic came in wine glass (couldn’t get much tonic in). Wooden cutlery ?! Food was ok. Perfect location on a lovely day. Seats outside and inside.

30/12/2025: Why is there a camera hidden over the toilets? Its hidden in a fake smoke detector. How is this allowed?

04/08/2025: Had a wonderful brunch 🤤 Kids friendly 😄 Must try 💯
