The best restaurantsof irish in Galway

18/03/2026: We arrived 8 adults 7 kids and 2 dogs with no reservation. We were seated very comfortably in the courtyard with blankets and hot water bottles provided. Amazing good and service.

14/03/2026: I really don't want to tell you how great this place is, it's hard enough to find a table sometimes as it is. But let's be fair, it's a great craic. Owned and run by lonely locals.

11/02/2026: Well worth a visit. Great food, atmosphere & staff.

18/03/2026: We had a deluxe room, which was amazing. Our daughters' room was more basic and rather musty. The whole place was very charming. Food was mid, at least dinner. I might eat in town if I had to do it again. The crowd was definitely older, and that's saying something because I'm 60.

17/03/2026: Attended a wedding on 13th of Feb. One of the best venues I've been at for a wedding. Such a beautiful venue, food was delicious, staff were very friendly and helpful, rooms were gorgeous with incredible views. I'll be back again for a stay!!

29/03/2026: Great food and good service. There is a sit down restaurant as well as a bakery / coffee shop.

07/04/2026: I had the pleasure of dining at this gastro pub during my stay in Cong and it genuinely exceeded expectations. The atmosphere strikes that rare balance between cosy and refined. It feels authentically Irish without trying too hard, with a warm and welcoming energy that makes you want to settle in and stay a while, especially welcome on a rainy evening. The food was the real highlight. Thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, and most importantly, full of flavor. You can tell there's real care in the kitchen, with quality ingredients and a menu that elevates classic dishes without over complicating them. Service was equally impressive, attentive without being intrusive, friendly without being forced. The staff clearly take pride in what they do and it shows. All in all, this is exactly what you hope to find in a gastro pub but rarely do. If you are in Cong do not over think it. Just go.

02/04/2026: I arrived very hungry and late, and spontaneously decided on the Dish of the Day – perfect! I was almost surprised to receive such a juicy, delicious salmon steak on couscous with excellent vegetables and roasted potatoes. Great beer recommendation: Kilkenny Red Ale... Thank you!

27/01/2026: Beautiful food lovely staff. Very clean and tidy. Have their own car park straight across the road. Would definitely recommend.

14/12/2025: The food was delicious, the Chowder was one of the best I've ever had, the beef eye steak was amazing, everything was great, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was fantastic, there are TVs to watch the games and they have a terrace upstairs.

07/03/2026: Lovely seafood chowder and cosy welll presented cafe

22/12/2025: Love this place! It's always on our list to drop by turning off the motorway! Even post Covid 19 sitting out front or in the rear gardens. Just go once, and you will be back!!!!

25/03/2026: Lovely little pub, hadn't time for food unfortunately, looked delicious. Bar lady got our order mixed up.

17/12/2025: June 2025: A great traditional pub in Leenaun just south of the head of the fjiord; nice pint of Guinness and a half of the Zero too. The food was a tasty fish and chips and the goat cheese parcel with salad. If you are in a Motorhome or camper van you can park overnight opposite in the public carpark for free which comes with a great view over the waters of the fjord.

19/03/2026: Off-street parking. Delicious food, friendly staff, and excellent Americano coffee. We sat in a private booth in a charming pub.

17/03/2026: Great seafood chowder, good beer selection wonderful atmosphere excellent staff especially Joel 👌 👍

04/03/2026: Decent food but beware of extra charges on your bill. As a party of two we ordered 2 gin and tonics each only to find at the end of the night we were charged nearly $6 for tonic on each drink on top of the $11 for gin for each drink. Our server never mentioned the extra charge when ordering and was conveniently no where to be found when we went to pay the bill. They do not list prices for standard drinks on the menu so we had no idea it would be this high. Would not recommend based on this experience. Plenty of good pubs in the area that won't rip you off.

01/02/2026: Top class service , when we arrived lady said kitchen had just closed, she went very quickly to kitchen to see could we order & came back promptly & took our order , such friendly staff & food fabulous .

06/03/2026: Very enjoyable place to stay, open fires with comfortable seating. Breakfast staff were extremely friendly and efficient. It is out of town so a car is needed.

05/02/2026: This hotel faces the sea. The two-part dinner was wonderful, with views of the ocean and herd of white horses at sunset! I ordered a seafood main course, which was quite sweet. The bread and butter were delicious. Breakfast was also great.

26/03/2026: Called in on the way back home to Cong, great little restaurant and bar... in a beautiful little seaside village, lovely food, would definitely return...

18/03/2026: Absolutely lovely. We went off season and it was very quiet. Nice for a lunch with a beautiful view
