The best restaurantsof irish in Galway

09/12/2025: One of the best Gastro pubs in Ireland. Food is exceptional, staff are very friendly and its always welcoming.

24/11/2025: Excellent small town pub you can rely on! Delicious GF vegan shepherds pie. Best gin and tonic we’ve had as well. Friendly staff!

25/10/2025: A traditional pub with live music and excellent food. Great for families with children.

19/10/2025: Really lovely country pub. Visited with the Irish Subaru Drivers Club as a final stop in our Doolough valley run. The food was immensely tasty, and there's a huge amount of room in the back for dining, as well as a huge terrace overlooking the beautiful scenery as a smoking area. I got roast lamb and spuds, and it was absolutely beautiful. Well worth the spin.

08/12/2025: Loved this bar. Friendly staff. Old world charm with authentic traditional decor. Comfy booths with candles on tables.

28/10/2025: Terrible experience. We went to this pub just after church time on a Sunday. The lady at the bar was really unfriendly. We order two Irish coffee… well the were really bad. It seems like juste burnt coffee without any whisky inside, I have to admit she puts coca powder on top. I will definitely never go back to this pub again.

29/11/2025: Absolutely fantastic…. The staff here were wonderful, and the breakfast was truly delicious with plenty of healthy options to choose from. I’ll definitely be returning, and I’ve already recommended this place to several friends. Highly impressed!

27/11/2025: I was recommended here by a university of galway Professor. She said it was not to be missed. She was right. The preparations, the service was exceptional. The meal's components were fresh, perfectly seasoned, ample, precisely cooked and delicious. Eve if you have to drive a hour to get here, it's a bucket list experience you didn't know you needed.

13/11/2025: Unbelievable experience! Management & staff are so good! November 14th, 2025: I need to say more as I didn't do it justice with the brief comment above. We simply loved this place. If we were ever to visit Ireland again, Abbeyglen Castle Hotel would be on the TOP of our list of places to stay!

13/11/2025: Our stay at Abbeyglen Castle Hotel was wonderful. The castle has so much character, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff were warm and attentive throughout our visit. One of the absolute highlights was the evening talk. Hearing the history of the castle and the surrounding area brought the whole experience to life and made the stay feel even more meaningful. It was engaging, fun, and something that set Abbeyglen apart from any other stay we have had. We would love to return on our next trip to the area.

27/10/2025: Cozy pub/restaurant with a great view. The mussels were fresh and delicious, the seafood chowder was creamy and rich, and the crispy buttermilk chicken goujons were also really good.

02/11/2025: Perfect! Large, comfortable, well-equipped, well-located, with helpful and available staff.

09/08/2025: Don't let the rather bland exterior fool you as behind the facade is a 5 star family run hotel and restaurant serving some of the finest food I have tasted. Lovely to relax in the Green room with lovely views after your meal. Pet friendly a real deal maker!!

14/12/2025: A bit out of town but well worth the walk. Lovely quiet location with amazing views. All of the staff were so pleasant to deal with. Very happy with my experience in this hotel and would definitely stay there again.
