The best restaurantsof irish in Galway

24/03/2025: Had a drink. Place full of banter.

24/03/2025: Great atmosphere …… the kind of place you never want to leave

20/04/2025: Recommended by the lovely B&B owner, we were not disappointed. It was great. The portions were generous. The burger and the fish and chips were both very good.

16/04/2025: A treat, the dishes are really very good and of good quality. Crowded but friendly and fast service, I recommend it during your visit to this small village

05/05/2025: Excellent cuisine, interesting interior with the possibility to sit both inside and on the veranda and even outdoors. The staff worked professionally. Pet-friendly. We hope to visit again. There are parking lots nearby and it is pleasant to walk from them in the original center of the town

26/04/2025: We love the Old Barracks and always stop in there when passing through or visiting Athenry. The food is very tasty and they often have something a little different to other restaurants - their new halloumi salad is a new favourite with my daughter! We've also tried their catering once at a family do and it was great, delish garlic potatoes! What makes this place so exceptional is the staff, all of whom are so friendly and seem genuinely delighted to be working there. I'd especially like to mention the manager with a beard, he is so accommodating and lovely with children. The only one tiny thing I would love to see them change is the water jug situation - the water seems to sit with fruit dissolving into it all day, so by the time you drink it it's full of bits. This has been the case every time we've been there and honestly it's just very off-putting.

27/04/2025: Booked at the last minute on a rainy day in Clifden. The welcome was 100 percent. You are made feel like you are the only ones staying there.Stepping back in time with History and class the Reception Bar and Restaurant staff especially our favorite Dermot was exceptional. Thanks to Brian for everything

18/04/2025: We spent three wonderful days at the Abbyglen. The staff were wonderful and the food was excellent. Certainly will be back.

20/04/2025: Really authentic place. It's easy to make friends, very friendly people.

16/04/2025: From the outside the restaurant looks rather small. But when you go in, a different world opens up. The front area is a bar. In the back area there are two large rooms for the restaurant. The waitresses were very friendly and the food was a dream.

02/05/2025: 2 salads bought, ingredients fresh and tasty, complimented by some lovely fresh brown bread! Service on point, very busy but all well handled… now understand why there was a queue, will be returning on any future visit and would highly recommend!

16/04/2025: Food was absolutely delicious - worth a quick pop in! The Caesar Salad was very flavorful with generous portions of chicken. The Baked Goat Cheese Filo was over the top wonderful - order two! Cheers!

05/04/2025: Great place for food and a night out, staff are very friendly and once again the food is amazing

20/03/2025: One of the best place in town for a nice lunch at fair price. Reserve parking is a big pro!

13/04/2025: Excellent welcome, a waitress spoke French and all the staff were very helpful. Top food we tried the soup, the beef burger, the fish and chips and the apple pie, very fresh.

13/04/2025: Small chowder portions - not enough especially after a hike but tasty nonetheless. The atmosphere and the whole look of the restaurant is however nice and warm.

23/04/2025: Atmosphere: The place is clean and tidy. It does have a large corporate vibe to it. I noticed a place called Leonard’s Catering owns several restaurants in the area. Staff: The staff was very friendly and attentive. They checked on us several times. After we finished it did take a while to get our check. It then took some time to find out we needed to head to the bar to pay with a card. One star off for this. Warm Chicken Caesar Salad: Lettuce tasted fresh, thick slices of bacon were well cooked. The tiny croutons were very crunchy. The dressing was creamy, but still lite. The chicken was well seasoned, and had a charred taste to them. The chicken portion size was generous. Chicken Linguini: The chicken tasted great and the perfect size portion. The linguini was very tasty. The garlic bread tasted fresh and had good flavor. Fisherman’s Pie: Good amount of seafood. The sauce was nice and creamy. The spinach was a great add. There was a large portion of mashed potatoes. It was all finished off oven baked. Very good.

20/12/2024: Nice cafe that isn't the usual chain cafe. Also has a great weekly tapas menu on a Saturday night
