The best restaurantsof irish in Galway

24/02/2026: This is by far the best burger place in Galway

22/02/2026: Great burger, got the B.O.B. Casual set up and quick, friendly service.

07/03/2026: Exceptional night for our party of 27. Every course was superb. Sincere thanks to all in Dela for a wonderful experience

06/03/2026: EXCEPTIONAL! 5 stars all around. All the staff were extremely attentive, well informed and went above and beyond. Then the coffee came out and blew us away. Such a cool design but also so tasty. We love speciality coffee and this didnt disappoint, then to find out the owners roast their own coffee! So cool. But the final star was the food. EXCEPTIONALLY fresh using only the best ingredients. Highly recommend. ❤️

03/01/2026: Great vegan food served by very nice people.

30/12/2025: A very, very nice place. Great food. Great atmosphere with fairy lights and plants. The service was very friendly despite the large number of guests. It was really great. I think it would be better to have one more staff member during peak hours or when the city is busier.

05/03/2026: Nice cafe with good options on the menu, more than in other places. Service is fast and friendly, with good coffee and food.

01/03/2026: We received a very warm welcome from the staff before opening time, given the very poor weather conditions outside. Valerio took our order and was very friendly; he speaks English, French, and Italian. I highly recommend him. The meal was hearty and delicious.

14/03/2026: Went for lunch and was blown away by the experience. I had honey butter fried chicken and the chips and it was fantastic. We both had the chocolate mousse and blood orange sorbet for dessert and it was so well balanced. Service and location are great. It’s expensive compared to an average lunch spot but it’s so worth it, would absolutely go again soon!

12/03/2026: beyond flawless. The best bloody mary and bowl of chowder I have ever had! The dining room is stunning with a view over the bay. The only thing that rivals the food is the genuine warmth of the whole Front of House team. Can not wait to come back

04/03/2026: Very nice place. The Guinness Stew was AMAZING!!!!

22/02/2026: Great spot for music and food, pints and craic

23/03/2026: Great wine selection and the best mussels I've ever had!

17/03/2026: Very nice experience with the staff and the food was amazing. Must visit for sea food.

28/02/2026: Fantastic experience. Food was amazing & staff were so friendly. Very relaxed environment for this type of restaurant which added to the atmosphere.

20/02/2026: My wife and I had an absolutely exceptional experience. From the moment we arrived, everything was outstanding. The food was incredible—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every bite captured the true taste of the sea, and even the next day I could still remember and almost taste those amazing flavors. The drinks were just as impressive, perfectly crafted and a great complement to the meal. The service was equally remarkable—attentive, welcoming, and genuinely warm without ever feeling intrusive. It’s rare to find a place where the food, drinks, and service are all this consistently excellent. I honestly couldn’t recommend this restaurant highly enough. An unforgettable and unbelievable experience from start to finish.

09/03/2026: My favourite pub atmosphere in Galway but then it gets too crowded.

04/03/2026: We called in for a couple of drinks before dinner. We loved the trad music. Staff were friendly and the atmosphere was deadly. I'd love to have a place like this near home. It was a small but cosyy pub.

05/03/2026: Had a lovely visit to Jemi Lighthouse Cafe, a fully vegan café located close to AIB. It’s a cute and an Instagram-friendly spot with a cozy vibe. I tried the Terryland Reuben sandwich and the Salthill Squash Salad, and both were tasty. The only downside was that the portion sizes felt a bit small for the price. The place was quite busy over the weekend, but we managed to get seats on the high chairs along the window aisle. Overall, it’s a good little spot for a quick vegan snack, and I would recommend stopping by if you’re in the area.

06/01/2026: Everything is delicious, original dishes, a spectacular coffee offering and very professional service.

09/09/2025: The Skeff is part of the The Skeffington Arms Hotel. Food was very good. The Seafood Chowder and a couple of (non!) Stout beers from other parts of Ireland were a welcomed change of pace. IPA's, actually. One from Letterkenny, and the other from Kill, County Kildare. Other than the service being just a tad slow, it was (overall) very good. And the live music was magical this night. Okay...Not exactly magical, but covers from bands/artists that everyone knows, sung by a group of a youngish band of 3 called The Groev. They did a great job, actually.

09/09/2025: Authentic pub with fantastic food! Service was rather mediocre.

04/03/2026: Food was amazing!! We were in a booth that was very tight, but the restaurant and the bathrooms were very clean.

14/02/2026: We visited on Valentine’s Day evening, and they kindly seated us quickly. As visitors to Ireland, we found this restaurant on a whim and were not disappointed! Everything tasted amazing and all very fresh: Highly recommend! Pictured: Mussels in garlic sauce, grilled fish and chips, seafood linguine

25/03/2026: I recently had a Full Irish breakfast at the Hyde Hotel in Galway, priced at €18.50, and found it to be fairly average for the cost. While the presentation initially seemed decent, it was disappointing to discover that the 5 or 6 rashers—hidden beneath the bread—were undercooked and really didn’t feel properly prepared. Overall, the experience didn’t quite justify the price. Service was good, albeit a slightly long waiting time.

24/03/2026: Honestly I cannot recommend this place enough. It’s rare places get the aesthetic, vibes, prices, drink and food all right by The Hyde absolutely does. Went there for cocktails the first night of my friend’s hen do and then for brunch the day after. Laura who booked everything couldn’t have been more helpful and our server Natasha was fab on the day. Portions were generous, drinks were amazing, food was delicious. We also were all dressed as Fr Ted characters and they were not snooty about his at all, if anything they embraced us! They even let us bring out and cut a special Fr Ted “jumper cake” which they kindly disposed of 🤣 Everything was just amazing. The pace is really chilled and lovely, can’t wait to go back again.

17/03/2026: Very hospitable and helpful, excellent food and good value for money.

13/03/2026: I love the vibe. Great for meet ups

26/03/2026: The atmosphere is wonderful when the live music starts. We also had dinner there prior the food was very good and the staff was super nice. Would go back for sure

26/03/2026: What a place ! , great guiness , food and service with a smile 😃.
