The best restaurants in Galway

19/08/2026: Love it for my daughter, your child will have fun and you can take a break and coffee or tea depending on ur preference and just watch them play

10/04/2026: Been coming to busy bees for years and the staff are always wonderful! It's clean and well organized even when very busy with birthday parties. Liz was absolutely incredible. My son is very shy but she was so great at speaking to him he was absolutely delighted with himself playing in the play center. We booked a party and couldn't be happier with how it went. Staff were top rate but I can't thank Liz enough for being there for the parents but also with the kids who were celebrating. Recommend to any parent looking for a party place.

04/09/2026: Food was average at best. We went here for dinner. The service was awful. The was waitress eating whole working then took and phone call lasting 15 min. She made eye contact with me as we waited over 30 minutes for our check. I finally stood up, left money on the table and walked out. Horrible service- I know it's difficult to

27/08/2026: Excellent daily special: a crab duo served with a small salad and potato salad. A great find!

27/05/2026: A charming old historic hotel full of character and authenticity. It is very centrally located right in the heart of Clifden, which naturally means there can occasionally be a little bit of street activity already early in the morning. However, the unique location and atmosphere more than make up for it, and the prices are very reasonable and fair. We especially enjoyed the breakfast — the homemade plum compote and homemade apple compote were absolutely delicious. The hospitality from the entire team was excellent, and we felt very well looked after throughout our stay. We were very satisfied and would gladly return.

21/05/2026: The room and bathroom were spacious, very clean, and warm. There were plenty of breakfast options, and the restaurant was excellent with friendly, attentive service. Highly recommended!

23/08/2026: Stunning meal this Friday with friends!! Food delicious creative and filling. Very much getting the full fine dining experience with the à la carte menu with all the lovely extra mini courses, great bang for buck! The staff were warm and attentive and our 1 small piece of feedback (not much considering 4 of us and multiple courses) was received graciously. The wine was all excellent. The Czech bubbles and the Lebanese red highlights to name but two. Will be back!!

02/09/2026: Chef's Cafe in Craughwell (located just off the R446) is a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic, delightful cafe experience. The team behind this lovely hotspot stand out for their warmth, patience, and attentiveness. Each dish is crafted with genuine care - prepared, cooked, and served to be visually impressive, delicious, and competitively priced. Whether you dine in or take out, the quality and presentation are excellent. Through consistent hard work that looks easy, they have mastered the art of building customer loyalty. Unit 8 Chef's Cafe is my number-one favourite spot, travelling from or towards Dublin. 🎯

24/05/2026: Might be the best food I’ve ever had. Not even joking

10/09/2026: Delicious takeaway that hit the spot!! Wanted an easy meal for tea so googled takeaways in the area and found this one. Easy to order online and was ready when I collected it. Food was piping hot and good quality ingredients. Good value for money. Had the chicken biriani which was tasty.

10/09/2026: Booked this venues for a large group which had a lot of different dietary requirements. The chef and staff couldn’t have been more helpful and we all had a delicious meal. Loved the vegetarian platters for starter and the very tasty curries. Would highly recommend

12/09/2026: Everything you want in food , great seating area. Very clean.

27/08/2026: Love dolans. The place is never not busy. Their deli rolls are divine. And their baked goods section ie apple loaf is unreal. Staff are top tier and always friendly and helpful.

26/10/2025: Gorgeous Tapas. Better new location had a lovely evening. Great friendly service. We had a lovely evening.

30/09/2025: This place is a good option to stay near Galway, the room is fine, nothing special very simple and require some basic renovation, our stay was pleasant but for what we payed we probably could find something much better and closer to town. The best here is the restaurant and the staff, even if didn't have dinner due it was fully booked the night we stayed, we had breakfast there next day and it was really good. Parking is small but enough, we had to wait for a while to be able to park but is included with no extra cost which is fine.

13/07/2026: Lovely little cafe with kind staff and great coffee. Worth the stop!

09/07/2026: The restaurant smells bad. The coffee is terrible. It's nothing like any coffee I've ever had. Awful. The tea is tasteless and has no aroma. A disappointment, not to mention a rip-off.

04/06/2026: The food regularly changes, can pretty much ignore reviews from 6 months ago. Pizza only at the moment
