Ruibin
Galway
17/08/2025: Excellent restaurant, but for me dinner was ruined by a table of six very loud, screaming people who weren't aware enough to realize that their noise made it impossible for the other diners to talk normally. Too bad they didn't realize the difference between a low-class bar and a fine-dining restaurant. Maybe restaurant personnel should be attentive to the needs of the other diners at times like this.
In any case, an expensive dinner--a disaster.
16/08/2025: Wow what a wonderful meal and experience, the food was simply stunning and they cater for everyone.
I cannot wait to go back!

The Seafood Bar @ Kirwan's
Galway
22/08/2025: Absolutely loved our dinner at Kirwan’s. Just off the busy main road, this gem of a restaurant offers some wonderful seafood dishes. We had oysters, hake and seabass. What really stood out for us though is the service! All waiters and waitresses were incredibly attentive and kind. Though we didn’t book they made an effort to find space for us. I’d hightly recommend this restaurant.
21/08/2025: The service was great, beer, wine- awesome. But chowder with some strange stuff inside, like the thickener(can be wrong), and the risotto its just like an oatmeal, not the original italian risotto. But tasty. So overall 3 from 5.

The Skeff
Galway
17/08/2025: Great pub with great food, helpfull staff and real value for money. Only downside is they don't hold tables for bookings so when you arrive if there isn't a table you need to wait and almost keep walking around to you find a table but it's a large premises and there is nearly always a table free. There was live music most nights and a table quiz one evening. Lovely interior and a great location.
17/08/2025: We can upon this restaurant by accident. The reviews were so so, but we thought we would take a risk since so many of the restaurants in the area were fully booked. We were pleasantly surprised. The food was simple but good, better than expected. It was good value for the money.

Aniar
Galway
19/08/2025: Good dinner in a tiny restaurant where everything is prepared with Irish ingredients. Tasting menu to travel through the tastes of West Ireland with Irish drink pairing. Crab, fish, duck, tomatoes, mash potatoes with mushrooms, see weeds, cheese with a fig, forest strawberry dessert, ice apple wine and so much more. However, the service is too intrusive and feels too commercial so we liked the food but not really the overall atmosphere. I don’t think I would go again
17/08/2025: How did this restaurant received Michelin star?

John Keogh's
Galway
24/08/2025: Very nice pub in Galway, we were lucky enough to wait just 5 minutes before sitting at the table. Food was good and beer too..
24/08/2025: Come here and eat.
Good beers.
Sweet waiters.
Pub food...but incredibly well done.
Want chicken presented with an edible flower? Go elsewhere.
Want to eat real local products?
How do the Irish eat them?
Come here.
PS. The vegetarian selection is also very respectable.
P.S. The fries, however, could be improved by using hand-cut ones, but that's the only flaw I don't feel like lowering the review for.

Hooked
Galway
12/08/2025: Hands down the best food I had in Ireland! Ordered takeaway while passing by, and their Cajun Salmon Po' Boy was amazing. Fluffy brioche buns, fresh salmon and lettuce with a great dressing. Had to come back on the next day for dinner where I had their seafood linguine that was brimming with mussels, squid, and all kinds of seafood. Worth every cent I paid and more, shoutout to the friendly staff too :)
11/08/2025: Great food, away from the hubub of the center. I'd book a table though

Quay Street Kitchen
Galway
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.

The Kings Head
Galway
26/08/2025: The service was wonderful, but the food was overpriced (though it did taste good)
26/08/2025: The place is very nice! The waiters were very kind and helpful, and offered us several suggestions when we were ordering. The meat was very good, and I also really enjoyed the soups. They also had a children's menu...the only thing that left me perplexed was the children's meat (a thin slice cut in half). The desserts were good. The prices are fair. Recommended!

The Universal
Galway
17/08/2025: Great restaurant that reconnected us with Irish cuisine. Very efficient service and inventive cuisine. We highly recommend it.
06/08/2025: Hidden gem! The food is local and outstanding! The cheese plate starter has a great assortment of local cheeses paired really well with jelly and honey. The steak and lamb entrees were top notch! The cheesy bread, spuds and cabbage were delicious accompaniments. The chocolate tort at the end with a heavy cream and cherries was so good. Only issue was the table that wobbled. Highly recommend this restaurant!
