The best restaurantsof irish in Galway

09/02/2026: If I could give them 10 stars I would - the food was GREAT we went back the next day for more. The manage, Louis, went out of his way to make our eating experience in Galway unforgettable! He was so kind and thoughtful.

09/02/2026: Very good, the quality of the Antonio and Jeizan dinners

02/02/2026: Delicious and pleasant atmosphere!! Delicious gluten-free bread :)

27/01/2026: We had a really excellent brunch here, the breakfast burger was fantastic as was the vegan breakfast. Coffee also very good

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.

15/02/2026: The food was delicious and the staff were incredibly helpful. A great find for a restaurant in Galway!

15/02/2026: Fantastic dining experience at Rúibín! The food was beautifully presented and full of flavour, and the atmosphere was stylish yet relaxed. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout. Definitely one of the best spots for a special meal in Galway — would happily return.

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: Such a lovely place, food was amazing I got the hot honey burger and it was delicious, very messy though 😆 and very big portions couldn’t finish it off. Staff were very friendly and checked in on me a few times which you wouldn’t get in some places.

23/01/2026: Delicious beef stew and very kind staff🥰

21/01/2026: On their menu online, they spelled Lunch wrong. Spelled Launch

17/02/2026: Really beautiful place, the indecor is impressive. The service was really lovely and attentive. The food was super tasy and fresh .

12/02/2026: Top restaurant experience in Galway. Fabulous food and perfect staff attention. It cost more than your average Galway restaurant but you do get what you pay for. It's down a little lane at the bottom of Shop street.

07/02/2026: I really had fun with my lads. Great experience, wholesome waiters. The portions were a Little small, i Will come back! 🍀

07/02/2026: Brilliant place to drink. Great craic. It's a must when in Galway.

01/01/2026: The food, mood, service, and everything else you'd expect for a fine dining establishment was there. But nothing blew my socks off and it was a bit on the pricey side. The most noticeable thing for me was the service because everyone was so friendly and accommodating for me as I brought my 6 and 8 year kids to dinner. The chef spent a few minutes at each able to chat with the guests too. This is a great thing but also maybe not so great if it is more memorable than the food.

24/11/2025: Amazing expierence. Highly recomend.

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

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.

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.

31/12/2025: Delicious seafood. Caters to gluten free/ celiac. Highly recommend swapping the fries to mash. Amazing service

27/12/2025: Delicious and fresh seafood selections and wonderfully decorated in a whimsical nautical style!

15/02/2026: Great customer service by Yehor

17/01/2026: Kelcy was fantastic server, food was phenomal, bottomless brunch is 100% worth every penny i would recomend this place to jesus if he walked the earth today

25/02/2026: The service was quite good, and the fish and chips were plentiful with a nice béarnaise sauce. The live traditional music after the meal was a great way to experience a taste of Ireland.

25/02/2026: Excellent atmosphere, good music concerts.

31/01/2026: Great wholesome food, And a nice drink to wash it down.

26/10/2025: This place was so good we went back a second time while in Galway. We had the Irish Rib Steak Sandwich both times and the taste and flavor were spot-on. Prices were reasonable. Only thing they didn’t have was music but the good and drinks make up for that.
