Tibhurca, Clonbur
06/08/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What an incredible dining experience at John J. Burke's in Clonbur! The food was absolutely outstanding from start to finish.
We had the burgers, which were cooked to perfection and packed with flavour. My daughter had the fish and chips, and she said it was one of the best she's ever had. We couldn't leave without trying dessert, and we're so glad we did! From the rich chocolate brownie to the freshly made cheesecake, everything was homemade and simply delicious.
Honestly, it's some of the best food we've had since dining in Michelin-starred restaurants in Abu Dhabi. The quality, freshness, and attention to detail were exceptional.
The atmosphere was just as wonderful as the food, with traditional Irish music creating the perfect warm and welcoming setting.
A huge compliment to everyone at John J. Burke's. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Clonbur! Thanks again Steven, Alison Willow from Donegal ❤️

Veldon's Seafarer
Letterfrack
11/09/2026: A wonderful and welcoming pub in Letterfrack. We immediately felt at home, and the food was delicious. A great refuge even if it's raining outside: grab a Guinness and a stew, and the fear will pass.
09/09/2026: Such a lovely place for breakfast. Everything came together really well — good food, friendly service and a great atmosphere. It felt relaxed and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Definitely a place I’d be happy to visit again.

Paddy Burkes
Clarinbridge
21/09/2026: We had a weekend stay in September and had the best time. The staff were incredibly friendly, a great laugh, quick service, even though they were busy. The Guinness was cold and lots of traditional furniture gave the pub a great atmosphere. The toilets remained very clean too. The management run a Guinness and Oysters festival and raise funds for local sports teams, which was a great Saturday night with a fabulous buffet spread and live music.
Over the course of the weekend, we had fish and chips, oysters, very fresh lobster, the fiery prawns and curry chips were awesome, as was the Sunday Roast!
We will be booking to go back next September and do it all again!
21/09/2026: Had a amazing weekend with the staff, loved seeing everyone- we will be back soon

Ardagh
26/06/2026: What an excellent stay we had at the Ardagh Hotel. The rooms were excellent, the food and service was fantastic. We had some complexity getting taxis home from Clifton and their receptionist came in without asking and picked us up. Really well run Hotel. Highly recommended!
06/06/2026: Loved our stay here so much we extended it. So relaxing from the moment we arrived. Staff are all excellent warm, attentive but always understated. You feel very well looked after but you are always given space.
Everything is spotless, decor is beautiful...a lot of thought and care has gone into it. A relaxing inviting lounge area, a big turf fire, eclectic mix of artwork, and interesting ornaments.
A beautiful dining area with views over the sea, and a delicious dinner menu made for the most romantic memorable meal.
Our dog was welcomed and we were never made to feel it was an inconvenience. Similarly the place is not overrun by pets and wouldn't disturb others.
Can't wait to to go back ...thank you to you all

Padraicins
09/09/2026: We stopped at Pádraicíns Gastropub for a quick bowl of seafood chowder while returning from Inis Mór. The location is very picturesque and the pub has a lovely setting, but unfortunately the chowder was disappointing. It was very thick and heavily loaded with sweetcorn, while there was very little fish or seafood. Perhaps we caught it on an off day, but based on the chowder alone, it wasn’t particularly memorable.
06/09/2026: Amazing Seafood Chowder. Wow. Lovely waiting staff. Most attentive . I come here whenever Im in galway for their chowder

Gallery Cafe
Gort
22/08/2026: Avoid 'Chowder' it's a potatoe chowder. Loads Halved Potatoes and green beans floating in cream. Two pieces of Fish. Dearest I've ever paid at €13.50.
15/08/2026: The brioche French toast 😳 To. Die. For. Highlight sweet breakfast of the decade for me.
