The best restaurantsof irish in Galway

12/07/2025: Located in the Bohemian Westside area of Galway city and while there why not drop into Poblacht(Republic of Hair) for a tidy up!

12/07/2025: This restaurant lives up to its name

14/06/2025: My wife and I were there for lunch. Good fusion food. Interesting spot with some liquor and seasoning infusion decorations. It felt very transactional.

05/06/2025: After dodging lots of tourist traps around the city, we were very pleased to stumble across this Ruibin gem. The waitress was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and the wine selection was huge. We would definitely return!

20/07/2025: Had a fish and chip meal and the whole experience was awful the chips were terrible the mushy peas were horrible I complained twice to response and when I tried to not pay for the chips he was adamant I pay if full. And said I should have said something earlier which I did to you. He couldn't answer me. I will never go bk there again. Should have went to the the chippie instead.i just want my girlfriend have a nice seafood meal which hers was nice she even said my chips look disgusting never going back. Worst experience I've ever had

09/06/2025: Aniar is a creative culinary immersion from which you will emerge imprinted and inspired. Truly life changing. A journey through the West of Ireland’s unique flora, fauna, sea and wildlife in 24 courses, you are a traveler held in the welcoming hospitality and generosity of the entire team, chefs and servers alike. Each course is a chapter an epic of the land, each taste its words lovingly woven together into a captivating narrative. Indeed, the meal is like the Seanchaí of old. Like all classic stories, you will traverse the spectrum of emotions while dining, astonished gasps, even tears, and for those of us who have ancestral connections to the West of Ireland, a genetic remembrance of her offerings - to have never tasted something before but to know it intimately. If you are able to, also add the wine pairing to experience unique offerings that enhance and expand each course’s flavors. So as to avoid living life with eternal regret, be sure to pace yourself to allow for full enjoyment of the jewel box desserts - an olfactory ornamentation and sweetness symphony. What a privilege to dine here and experience Ireland’s culinary history and future being written and re-written nightly.

02/06/2025: Anair is one of the best restaurants I have visited while traveling. The food was incredible, and the service was excellent and efficient. All of the dishes and decor are from Western Ireland and were very creative. I will be going back the next time I am in Galway.

07/07/2025: Friendly, cosy, tasty and/or healthy vegan food. Mushroom burger was filling & flavoursome.

06/07/2025: Such a lovely place! Cozy place, calm background music, all vegan, super friendly stuff - convinced the kitchen making pancakes for us though we were running late. Pancakes were perfect and the chickies as well! Best Cafe / Restaurant in Galway so far. Will come back!

04/08/2025: Love the french toast with berries and mascarpone! No.2 scrambled egg with tomato salsa is lovely as well 🤤

22/07/2025: I loved the place, too pretty and the food was very good 🙂‍↕️💖

07/08/2025: Great atmosphere. Authentic Irish bar and music.

07/08/2025: Love their music, amazing tap and a wonderful selection of whiskies. Their food always pleases.

14/07/2025: A beautiful place has a real authentic feel to it and the waitrons are really on the ball. Well done

11/07/2025: Perfect spot to pop into after a late dinner! 🍻

27/07/2025: Honestly the poorest experience I’ve had dining out in Galway! The standard has dropped dramatically in this is so called award winning establishment. I had my 17 year old niece with me who is a real plain eater and doesn’t eat much I asked for the kids menu to see if there was anything she would eat of it, chicken goujons was on it. The waitress come back and decided to tell me after handing me the kids menu that my niece can’t eat of it as she’s over 12! First thing wrong here don’t hand me a kids menu to then tell me she can’t eat of it! With disgust I asked for the manager to explain she’ doesn’t eat much in general, the waitress come back not the manager to say oh she can’t eat eat of it now as I made it very clear I was angry that she would be refused to eat of it! As some one who worked in hospitality for many of years I found this quite appalling. The fact the manger sent the waitress back to do his dirty work instead of dealing with me by request didn’t speak volumes that’s for sure! Just to add the kids chicken goujons were the most processed chicken goujons I’ve ever come across not really standard for an award winning restaurant! They weren’t eating and clearly left on the plate. I didn’t want to embarrass the waitress anymore but when plates are cleared and food not eating clearly there is a problem, should of been reported to back to the manager, inexperienced manager it seems he just looked busy scrolling through his phone and didn’t interact once after he sat us! He actually sat us with out menus we waited for a few minutes before he sent a waitress over with menus he didn’t look to be proactive at all from what I seen and experienced! What a let down

25/07/2025: We went in because another restaurant we were going to was full, good luck for us. The service was fantastic and the food was very good. It's in a busy area; to say the area isn't touristy is a bit bold. There was a good atmosphere on the street and an excellent atmosphere in the pub. The mussels were cooked to perfection and the sauce was good. The stewed meat was excellent. They served tap water straight away, which was appreciated. Guinness is the Guinness of the island. We've been on the Wild Atlantic Way for six days.

07/02/2025: Pedí el "Pastel de los Pastores" y estaba extremadamente decepcionado. Demasiado ajo en polvo y dudoso "puré de patatas". Muy seco a pesar de añadir una jarra de "jus". Me fui 1/2. Si un restaurante tiene una cocina abierta, entonces los chefs al menos deben actuar profesionalmente. Fui testigo de tantas infracciones HACCP que fue aterrador. Picando comida y comiendo sin lavarse las manos. Rascarse el cabello sin lavarse las manos.

26/07/2025: One of the most iconic places to eat, dine, or have a beer. I recommend a pint of Smithwich Red Ale.

26/07/2025: Great pub everything was just Irish

13/07/2025: Excellent seafood restaurant in Galway with a nautical theme. Good food and excellent oysters. Decent wine selection. Reservations required. Highly recommended!

12/07/2025: There's a reason we returned three nights in a row! The fish was delicious and simply cooked. The online reservation and one of the waiters who speaks Italian are a plus!

24/07/2025: Nothing spectacular about the food, the menu is purely touristy. The pork loin is very dry, bordering on acceptable. Very limited beer selection, almost no Irish (besides Guinness, only a pale ale). Other breweries and pubs in the area offer a wide selection.

24/07/2025: A great pub with friendly staff and loads of space...their crisps are delicious....

24/07/2025: Stopped in to try some seafood. Ordered the chowder and was not disappointed. Cool atmosphere here. Great service from Kaydi! Definitely would return.

23/07/2025: Juneida nos atendeu prontamente, pois não achávamos pub para 7 pessoas. Foi atenciosa e querida. Atendimento ótimo! Gracias.
