The best restaurants in Galway

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.

19/01/2025: Got takeaway from here. While the food was very tasty and of good quality ingredients, it was a lot more sauce than sustenance.

28/12/2024: Do not use there online ordering system , as it will scam you out of your money without a refund option (restaurant closed Wednesday 11 December 24 online said ot was opened put order in through online, company took the money , restaurant was closed then had the cheek to ring on Thursday saying ordered was ready , still waiting for refund) update refund has being received 27 Dec 24

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.

06/11/2025: I recommend Friendly staff and great restaurant. 👌👍

03/10/2025: The Coach House Hotel is in a good area close to Galway and has pubs, cafe and gas station within a few steps. We had an issue with our room as the drains were completely clogged for the sink and shower which made it very hard to use and our heat wasn’t working. We mentioned this to the staff in the evening and again to a staff on the overnight shift. No one offered help and asked us to ask someone else on the next shift. We only stayed one night however I would say the service is very poor here due to our room issues. The breakfast is also an additional 15 euros per person which we opted not to get.

10/11/2025: Had dinner here the last day and was surprised at how clean it was. Everywhere including the bathroom was spotless and it made the experience a 10/10. Service and food were excellent.Will go again!!!

10/11/2025: Clean and hygienic restaurant with lovely and helpful staff 😊

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

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

26/07/2025: Fast food, fast cars in car park. Be nice to have options that weren't heart attack inducing.

26/10/2025: Why is Griffins not serving alcohol??

30/09/2025: Just popped in for a quick one. No complaints.

17/12/2025: I took my grandfather here for a nice lunch out. We had booked and when we turned up we had to wait 5 minutes at the host stand until someone even acknowledged us. We were finally showed to a table where we sat for 30 minutes until someone showed up to take our order, without even an apology for the wait. 15 minutes later our drinks showed up. 1 hour after we were first sat we received our food. The food was good and hot but unfortunately the wait and lack of communication overshadowed the good quality of the food. In the end we just wanted to pay the bill and leave.

16/12/2025: Unfortunately the food fell short of expectations this time, roast potatoes came out cold and the veg also. On a plus note the beef was very good, the service was very good also

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.
