The best restaurantsof irish

01/10/2026: Great coffee, lovely selection of food, and very friendly and helpful staff

02/08/2026: Very welcoming, lady told us how odering worked and the most popular dishes. Food was beautiful and the lemonde was so refreshing.

08/06/2026: Absolutely the best pork chop I’ve had in my life. I will never forget it—I closed my eyes for most bites so I could savor it. We asked for a recommendation for dessert and it was ridiculously amazing. The flavors were incredible. The chocolate was so rich it was plenty for four of us to split since we all were full from our incredible meals. Others in our party got a fish entree they loved and the sauce that it came in was so fantastic they used the extra bread to finish it off! 10/10 We will be back next year. (Thanks for telling us about Kai, Kelly!)

06/06/2026: We had a very odd experience here. We came during our honeymoon after several people recommended we visit while in Galway, but from the moment we arrived, the service felt uncomfortable and unwelcoming. We arrived at 6:04 p.m. for our 6:00 p.m. reservation, and from the initial interaction with the host/server, we felt as though we were somehow in trouble. After reading other reviews, it seems that unfriendly service may not be an isolated issue. I’ve have never left a negative restaurant review before, but our experience warranted one. A couple seated next to us, who arrived after we did, received their meals significantly sooner than we did. In fact, they had already finished their mains and were ordering dessert before our entrees even arrived. I ordered the steak, which was served with a single slice of tomato on top. The couple next to us ordered the same dish, and theirs came with multiple slices of tomato as an accompaniment. I understand that presentation can vary, but the difference between one slice and several seemed unusually inconsistent. My wife ordered the scallops and received only three scallops. Photos online clearly show the same dish being served with noticeably more. I understand portion sizes can vary, but the difference was substantial enough to stand out. After our plates were cleared, we sat for approximately 10–15 minutes without anyone checking on us. Apparently, the server asked my wife about dessert while I was in the restroom, but when I returned, we waited another five minutes before I finally had to ask for the bill myself. Throughout the evening, we felt largely ignored. Looking back, I don’t believe anyone ever asked how our meals were. My family owns a restaurant, so I understand that service can suffer when staff are overwhelmed. That wasn’t the case here. The server walked past our table multiple times and never once acknowledged us or checked in. Out of habit from the United States, I still left a generous tip, but in hindsight I wish I hadn’t. We left feeling genuinely disappointed by the cold and dismissive service. It was certainly not the dining experience we had hoped for during our honeymoon in Galway.

04/10/2026: Not great. Ordered chicken supreme, chicken not tasty , a lot of bones, mash was nice small bit of veg rest of plate was full of sauces. My partner got fish and chips , tiny portion of chips , tarter sauce , peas then fish was greasy and had a short black hair on it. Wasent asked once was food ok , we paid and left . Will not return again. Very over priced food portions small , over rated

29/09/2026: Really enjoyed our meal. Had the soup of the day (tomato basil) and pat's burger. Both were very tasty. Lovely sever. A stormy night outside but cozy inside.

16/09/2026: Excellent honest pub food. A hearty feed and a great selection of draught beers to wash it down with 😊

06/09/2026: Very nice old irish pub with very good food. I didn't know my mum cooked me irish stew all the time untill I tasted it here. My first irish stew abroad :). Very similar to romanian lamb stew.

05/10/2026: Had a lovely lunch here 5/10/26 service was excellent and food was great. Lovely staff polite and smiling.

03/10/2026: Amazing service, we had a lovely lunch

09/10/2026: Nice food, bit slow to arrive, server was lovely

28/09/2026: Amazing place for me, mam and our dog Charlie. Gorgeous food!

24/09/2026: We had a lovely dinner on Tuesday evening. We shared a Thai seafood dish. It was enough for the 2 of us with some extra sides. One of the nicest seafood experience on that side of Galway.

24/09/2026: friendly staff and quick service. zero Guinness was nice too.

30/09/2026: Went there yesterday. Few tables taken and plenty free ones but we got one for 1.30min only. Food ok and bit expensive. Pork belly taco amazing. Very tasty. Burger bit too juicy. Got also fish and chips. Fish nice but breading too hard. Nice atmosphere inside.

21/09/2026: Beautiful as always! Love the special menu x

20/10/2026: On the 17/10/2026 night the bouncer had a very inappropriate behaviour with a group of men.

16/10/2026: I was pleasantly surprised by the extremely good fish tacos. You could tell it was fresh with the first bite. They also made excellent Espresso Martinis and the most delicious dessert. Large portions and very incredibly friendly and fun staff!

24/10/2026: Very disappointed! Ordered four meals. When I cut into the burger it was raw and cold in the centre. Server took away. No offer to change choice, as another in my company had also ordered same, everyone was put off their food. As all others were nearly finished he returned with another burger. As we were all hungry, I ate what I could of it. Tasteless, flavourless and way too thick with poor presentation. A small side of regular Ketchup and skin on processed fries, not the thick home cooked chips as stated on the menu. Terrible presentation and poor food quality or flavour. Not to be recommended.

11/10/2026: We went to a sugan after visiting the miniature village, and it was a great experience! The place was very clean, and Dennis, who looked after us, was friendly and kind. The food was delicious, and the portions were generous. We’re so glad we decided to stop by!

07/06/2026: Perfect position midway on the main street with a large free carpark at the rea. Very busy for food starting with breakfast, good menu

31/05/2026: Love this hotel and the breakfast was lovely would recommend.

27/10/2026: The bar is beautiful, absolutely stunning in all of its architecture, art and history. The food was hearty, filling and tasted fresh and homemade (the Irish Stew was the highlight). The music was exceptional with a talented band and great dancers. We loved the music. Our server seemed grumpy, rude and annoyed. We stopped asking her for basics (like a spoon for the stew, or milk for the tea). That part was odd as the rest of the experience was great. Other than the server, we had a perfect time and still enjoyed our time.

27/10/2026: We stepped in on short notice Friday and had an amazing time, great food and perfect drinks. Even we only had time for about an hour and a half, we enjoyed ourselves and have to congratulate you on the location, the quality of the food but especially the waiters and the amazing team serving us.

17/08/2026: We came here for dinner and a couple of pints. The waiters did forget about our food a little and we had to wait some time before we got the food. But once they realised it they took it really seriously even though it honestly wasnt a big deal, so honestly, I was still very satisfied with their service. Food was great and the place itself is really lovely. Keep up the good work guys and gals :)

14/08/2026: Lovely food ,great portions and lovely staff

19/05/2026: Luggage service was provided at check-in and check-out. Changing rooms was no problem, as we were unable to use the stairs due to mobility issues. Breakfast was excellent and the service throughout was superb. Best regards, Beate and Marie

18/05/2026: Stayed here with my parents to celebrate my mother's 80th birthday. The team couldn't do enough for them, everyone was so friendly and helpful. Ross carried all their luggage from the car to their room - both parents have walking sticks. Leanne was also a smiling helpful lady. Karen our waitress had such a lovely way with her and kept the one liners coming which charmed my parents. They love the banter! The rooms were fantastic, comfortable, well appointed and recently refurbished. The supervisor at breakfast was excellent too, we didn't catch his name but he was another real asset. We caught him about to head out to the car with my parents luggage in the rain, just stopped him in time - we had coats he didn't! This has got to be the friendliest hotel in ireland! Well done everyone, you aced the customer journey 👏🏻

03/09/2026: My wife and I enjoyed our stay at your property. The highlights of our stay included: 1. Room 178 — We looked forward to sipping tea while taking in the view of the sea.The air conditioning unit in this room worked. The bed was very comfortable and it was great to have extra pillows. 2. Dining — Another of our favorite thing to do was to order breakfast and enjoy it at your Brass bar and cafe. The delicious fruit scones warmed to perfection, the perfectly done scrambled eggs, and the best tea on the planet. The sourdough toasts were also amazing. 3. Staff — We had the pleasure of meeting and engaging with many of your staff members. The ladies at the front desk — Maneesha and Anu, the servers at the Bar — Anna and Raquel were a delight. The young man who served us on the Sept 1st was equally terrific. They are so polite, courteous, and sweet. 4. Location — The location is terrific, especially the bus stop right next to the hotel and across the road.

26/08/2026: We stayed at this hotel for a week with our family, and overall, we had a very pleasant experience. The rooms were spacious and very clean, and the bed was especially comfortable. The breakfast was also excellent, with a great variety of options to choose from. My only observation is that the hotel does not provide luggage carts. The distance from the reception to the rooms can be quite long, so having luggage carts available would make the experience much more convenient for guests, especially families with several bags. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend this hotel.
