The best restaurantsof irish in Galway

15/04/2026: Good gluten free options in a town where it is a little trickier to get a GF meal. V helpful staff, cute decor, and a damn good lamb dinner! Glad to report that thatch cottages are much cosier, warmer & dryer on the inside than they look from the outside, too.

14/04/2026: Best food I've had here in Ireland. Service was fantastic.

15/04/2026: The perfect pub to experience the magical atmosphere of Ireland: an absolutely fantastic whiskey bar and servers who are happy to make you any cocktail you want! A perfect experience!

11/04/2026: One of the best pubs in Ireland. A trip to Clifden and a visit to Lowry's are a must. Even better in the evening.

05/04/2026: Beautiful meal here with something for everyone. Welcoming family atmosphere. No complaints.

19/03/2026: Authentic Irish pub with great food and beer

20/04/2026: Authentic old castle hotel. Timeless, great service, clean & today. Beautiful spacious bedrooms & unbelievable bathroom size with shower & seperate tub bath.

18/04/2026: Yup, it’s a castle, 🏰 it’s a fairy tale come true! So so beautiful! And I love how green the walls are!

02/03/2026: Visited during my stay in the area and I loved it. A tuesday evening and the place was hopping. Great atmosphere and really good food at reasonable prices.

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

14/04/2026: The best restaurant of our road trip!!! It doesn't look like much from the outside, but honestly, we highly recommend it!!! The fish was of incredible quality!

14/04/2026: Nice place, typical fisherman's decor. Classic but tasty and very generous portions. The men's toilets outside smell terrible and give a bad first impression. But don't let that put you off. The Guinness Zero is nice and cold 😉

29/03/2026: Absolutely love this place. The food is amazing. Michael and callum are lovely and full of chats. Had a lovely takeaway coconut cappuccino 5 stars always the lads know what they are doing

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!

08/04/2026: Gorgeous food, venue and service. We had brunch this morning and both of our meals were really well seasoned and tasty. I also got two cakes to takeaway. My only criticism is the price of the cakes - they were quite expensive. But otherwise I’ll definitely be back.

06/04/2026: Excellent sausage rolls, cool interiors. Disorganized, inexperienced table service.

12/04/2026: We had a very nice stay for 2 nights. We ate at the restaurant both nights. Food was very good. Joel went out of his way to make sure everything was good for us. We can’t thank him enough for his excellent hospitality.

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

30/04/2026: Gotta stop here for lunch. Incredible chowder.

29/04/2026: BEST chowder ever, whit a great service!

25/04/2026: Everything was DELICIOUS, very friendly staff and gorgeous location!!

21/04/2026: Has to be the best garlic bread I've ever tasted, and the peppered sauce was out of this world. Adding to the food quality was excellent service and the friendliest staff you'll ever find. I'll definitely be back.

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.

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 .

02/04/2026: A great place for a dinner in the Balinasloe area. We went for a lunch and the staff were excellent, food was speedy and great quality. I know Balinasloe isn't exactly a bustling city but if you're in the area it's a beautiful stop off and I'd recommend you have lunch here for sure!

08/03/2026: Lovely breakfast and great service.
