The best restaurantsof irish in Galway

23/08/2026: A truly excellent place. Authenticity, quality service, a warm welcome, generous and delicious dishes. Connemara mussels and fish soup. Excellent cheesecake.

23/08/2026: We’ve eaten there twice over the past month and the food is excellent as well as the service. Seafood chowder, fish and chips and soup of the day all were delicious. There’s a car park a few blocks away which is convenient and much easier than trying to park in town.

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 ❤️

28/07/2026: Beautiful setting Food ok too much fries food. The bread is amazing

18/08/2026: Superb whiskey bar. A welcome change from the usual pubs. A huge selection and a very helpful staff. I highly recommend it for the early part of the evening or late evening, as there's no food service.

11/08/2026: Beautiful pub right in the city center with a terrace in front, delicious beer🍻

30/07/2026: Awful, no idea how this place has a 4/5. Might be the worst service at a restaurant ever. Food was mediocre at best.

27/07/2026: Eat here 3 times while visiting friends in Barna. Great food and service. Very friendly atmosphere.

03/06/2026: Excellent service and friendly staff!

02/06/2026: Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, great food and coffee. The staff go above and beyond and always have a smile on their faces. Will definitely be back . Thank you Scott and Team

07/06/2026: We've had an amazing stay in this beautiful and authentic Castle, I can't thank you enough. Brian and all the staff are the real definition of "warm and welcoming", rooms are cozy and comfortable, restaurant with truly high quality menu. I wish we could stay longer than one night. See you again soon xxx

25/05/2026: Great first time experience in a castle! Beautiful castle and grounds, great bar and dinner was fantastic! Try the local lobster it is so sweet! Definitely stay here again.

18/08/2026: Very fast and delicious. We had luck to get a seat. It is lovely decorated. They have fresh fish from near by and it is very tasty. Lovely side salad and you have to taste the garlic butter fries hand cut.

17/08/2026: The crab tian and fish and chips were incredible! It's a shame the young woman's welcome was so appalling, and luckily she took over the table next to ours (where her lack of friendliness and smile continued). Our waitress made a much better impression. It's a pity such a lovely establishment is ruined by this kind of attitude.

22/07/2026: At a funeral in local church ⛪️ food was beautiful good portion travelled back to Dublin full stomach 😋

21/07/2026: We stopped here at the weekend on our way home. Plenty of parking at the back. We hadn't reserved a table but the staff found us a table for 6 of us. Very much appreciated as we were all hungry. Ordered steak Sambos and kids got gougons & chips. Everything was delicious, must say was the best Steak Sambos we had in a very long time. Everything cooked perfect. When came to desert unfortunately wasn't what was advertised. The kids preferred the waffles and Nutella but when came it wasn't Nutella but rather some chocolate sauce out of a bottle seems like, but on the menu it said Nutella & waffles. For the adults the deserts are overpriced to be honest @ €8.50.

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

06/06/2026: Thoroughly enjoyed every part of our stay, rooms were fantastic, staff extremely friendly and couldn’t do enough for us, food was 10/10 especially the seafood. Highly recommend and will be staying again. Looking forward to it.

10/08/2026: A wonderful discovery, excellent cuisine. We hadn't booked and a large group was expected, but the very friendly waitress found us a table, apologizing in advance for the wait. We were finally served quickly. Everything was delicious, with generous portions. A bonus: €1 billiards.

01/08/2026: The cheesecake was exceptional and the food was of high quality. The atmosphere was lovely

02/08/2026: simply everything you could want in a quaint irish pub. perfect

01/08/2026: Seafood chowder was loved by my 5 year old who finished his bowl and tried to lick it clean. Nothing is over salted which I really appreciate. My other son had pizza and though it looked like your typical frozen pizza they must have added extra cheese bc it was so wonderfully cheesy. I had the soup of the day which is the vegetable soup and felt the price and quantity reflected a fair exchange. Most restaurants make the veg soup to salty to give it more flavor so I appreciate being able to taste the blend of vegetables. The cheeses garlic bread was small and would be a pass for us when we come back.

15/08/2026: The brioche French toast 😳 To. Die. For. Highlight sweet breakfast of the decade for me.

07/08/2026: Fab food , wine and artisan produce. Unique, creative and quirky setting. Great coffee. Lovely friendly staff and great service. Great Art Gallery. Just off motorway and in central Location in town. Local seasonal produce. Love the place.

02/07/2026: Best restaurant, delicius food and beer

17/06/2026: So glad we picked this stop on our way across the country. The staff were amazing, and so kind advising us on our travels. The hospitality is unmatched! Our group had the curry, burgers and salad and all were great!

14/07/2026: Super Fish & Chips, and a pint of Galway Bay, quality, perfect.

14/07/2026: Nice hotel and restaurant, standard room that does the job for an overnight stay, breakfast, plentiful but basic

02/08/2026: Great lunch break with quality products, efficient service, and a peaceful atmosphere. The covered terrace is very pleasant!

25/07/2026: The most amazing coffee and baked homemade goods by Alissa in her kitchen. Cafe staffed by her family and friends … the best on the land of Ireland … would recommend the chocolate brownie and actually everthing is so delicious… a big 5 star from me
