The best restaurants in Oranmore

14/11/2025: Had a couple of pints with friends a lovely spot an old fashioned pub

11/11/2025: So far we've only ordered takeaway. The pizza is one of the best in Galway.

10/01/2026: Delicious food. Very attentive staff. Went above and beyond for my Dad who had just come out of hospital. Warm and cosy. Everyone loved it.

07/01/2026: This restaurant gives my mothers food a run for its money... seriously... It is.. honest-to-god-good... really good.. I have yet to be less than really satisfied by my experience here.. Whether its bacon and cabbage, or steak... its a solid choice.. evertime... Thanks guys.

18/01/2026: My husband and I were there yesterday. I ordered the king prawn korma. Horrible. Raw prawns in a sweet sauce. The sauce was kind of bland, like eating raw prawns with pumpkin porridge. Anyway, I had a beer and a flatbread. That was the whole dinner. ((( My husband, who loves Indian cuisine, also wasn't satisfied. But at least his chicken was edible. We won't be coming back!

21/12/2025: There is a large choice on the menu; but it didn't quite hit the standard we were expecting from the reviews. It is the only Indian restaurant we've been to where we had no poppadoms or dips (something we usually look forward to as part of the experience). Instead the starter was rushed out. It had the mint dip and onion with it but both lacked flavour or spice. The mains were ok; but tiny amount of rice for 2 people. Naan bread was nice and fresh. We felt the price was high for what it was and the location (not in the city).

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.

21/11/2025: Good honest to God food . . . .

26/10/2025: Popped in here for dinner Friday 24th October. Absolutely beautiful food, well presented. I had the curry and for a bar it was good as an Indian curry. Staff are lovely

06/01/2026: Excellent place for food . Highly recommend 👌👌

01/01/2026: We had high expectations coming into this restaurant considering the authentic Italian background of the restaurant owners. My partner ordered the margarita pizza and I ordered the gluten free “Boscaiola”- the pasta was cooked great however the chicken and the bacon bits were chewy and had 0 flavour - the sauce lacked flavour and to top if off it was microwaved ! The waiter didn’t even insist to ask all was okay with the food although my food was pretty much left as it was served. My partner thought the pizza was average at best. Tomato base was nice and the mozzarella was fresh. But the dough was poor for a Neapolitan pizza and it was overcooked.

26/11/2025: Our staff night out was celebrated with Urban Fire Pizza and it is worth traveling for. We will be back. Amazing.

11/10/2025: Incredible pizza and garlic bread, 10/10 😋 staff are super nice too!

30/06/2025: We ate here on both of our evenings in the beautiful village of Portmagee. Magnificent seafood, I had hake here on one night and John Dory the second - both fantastic. We all ate well and had a visit from the friendly owner making sure all was well. As an aside, we also had breakfast here, again it was excellent. All servers were friendly, helpful and attentive. I could not recommend this restaurant/Balmore highly.

13/06/2025: We spent a week driving around eating at some really great restaurants in Ireland, but this one was one of the absolute best. An amazing surprise, considering the few choices in this town for food. Everything was done with fresh, quality ingredients and with a great attention to detail. Just a great surprise and an amazing lunch. Best brown bread I had in Ireland. The lamb shanks and the stew are highly recommended.

05/11/2025: On a rainy Tuesday in Oranmore, this was a lovely place to go for breakfast or a scone and coffee. Very clean and great service. Good food too of course!

27/10/2025: The food was really good but weird experience, I got made to feel bad when I said I have an intolerance to eggs and asked to have avocado with my salmon instead. I get that it messed with the usual price but most places are understandable when it comes to intolerances.
