20/04/2026: It has a wonderful "home kitchen" feel, and the decor is absolutely beautiful very clean and comfortable. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The vegan dishes are so good. They are so flavorful and unique. I initially thought it might be overpriced since it's located near a tourist attraction, but the prices were actually very reasonable. Highly recommend this cozy spot!

19/04/2026: I had the pleasure of visiting this cafe in 2024 while on a trip, and I was thrilled with the entire experience! The location is stunning, the atmosphere was everything I could ask for! I am not a fan of raspberry anything, but the Raspberry cake that I had here was absolutely delectable! Paired with a fresh Guinness and a local island pup to keep me company was everything I needed to experience to know that this will be my first stop next time I visit the island.

16/06/2026: Beautiful hotel with breathtaking view, super friendly, accommodating and professional team. Anne-Mary and staff made our stay fantastic and unforgettable from addressing dietary restrictions to chaperoning the kids during the event and packed breakfast for the road. Thank you everyone!

16/06/2026: A review like this just won’t do Renvyle justice. I have been coming for over twenty years for holidays, spending time with family and some great weddings. Firstly, the setting is stunning. When you leave Galway city behind and drive out through Connemara, you feel yourself switch off and start to relax. Secondly, the staff are second to none. They run a brilliant hotel and they are a large part of its success. Thirdly, the food is delicious. It’s consistently always been excellent and there are options for all appetites and palates! Dog friendly as well for those with a four legged friends. I always love my stays there, and I always love going back. Renvyle holds a lot of special memories from over the years and it’s a place I’m incredibly fond of.

07/06/2026: 12 years ago it was different managers and it was very good. Now the waiter was unfriendly; they served the starter and main course at the same time. It's a disgrace to sell such small mussels. Avoid this place.

02/06/2026: Very fresh and tasty seafood. Highly recommend. I got the fish pie but everything great on the menu. Worthwhile stop on the way to Connemara National Park

10/08/2025: Excellent place to stop for lunch. We were particularly impressed by the quality of the food. The service and the welcome we received was 2nd to none. Overall, the standards and professionalism of this café is a shining light for others in the industry to aspire to We shall definitely be making a return visit.

22/05/2026: We stayed at the Foyle's Hotel and had dinner at this restaurant, followed by breakfast the next morning. The service was impeccable, very friendly and efficient. The food was truly excellent, without being overpriced. The setting is beautiful; a very pleasant surprise indeed.

03/09/2025: Absolutely amazing little gem. We stopped here on our way through and it was absolutely amazing. Very good value for money, amazing cakes, scones and exquisite crepes. The name tells it all, its small and cosy and has loads of character. The coffee was amazing and the service was absolutely top notch. Would 100% recommend to anyone passing through or staying in Athenry.

25/08/2025: We stopped here on the way back home from Westport and I have to say one of the best cafes I have been to. Coffee massively on point it was epic hot chocolate epic and a special request for an iced chocolate was not problem. The crepes were out of this world I had the streaker wife had the nookie and the kids had the ham and cheese all were amazing and the boss lady and locals in the cafe were so nice and welcoming. Definitely recommend stopping here if you're ever in athenry I know we will be back
