The best restaurantsof irish in Galway

06/07/2026: I found this place while deciding where to have brunch during my day trip to Galway. To start with the conclusion, the staff were very friendly and nice, but I should have ordered the Eggs Benedict or pancakes instead. I was debating between the Mushroom and this one, but since it came with a poached egg, I ordered this one. It was really tasty, but the egg was really, really bad. The yolk was a runny yolk that was almost fully cooked, and the egg white had a chewy texture due to the egg white skin, which wasn't good at all. The fries were just okay. The cutting was also poor, and they were fluffy, so if you're planning to order the mushroom toast, I think ordering a drink is a must! I saw some Korean reviews and decided to visit. I really loved the service—it was warm and thoughtful. But the food was a bit disappointing… Did I expect too much? 🥹 The poached egg wasn’t really poached—the yolk was almost fully cooked. That said, the mushrooms were nutty and had a really nice texture. I actually enjoyed that part.ᐟ.ᐟ They(on review) had eggs Benedict with bacon, I think! If you want to try something, go for it—or get the pancakes 🥞

06/07/2026: Disappointing, fry was less expensive than a small breakfast burger and had to pay extra for an egg. Seating uncomfortably close to next table. Coffee was late. Staff very pleasant however.

09/07/2026: Absolutely love Greens & Co! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. There are plenty of healthy and delicious options to choose from, and everything tastes like it’s made with care. The coffee and specialty drinks are amazing too. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and provide great service every time. The atmosphere is cozy, clean, and perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a relaxing meal. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food and a wonderful experience!

09/07/2026: I came here for a nice vegetarian meal, where I could relax and sit after my long outing at the cliffs of Moher. When I walked in, I was planning to just order at the counter and take my meal somewhere else, but the lady practically forced me to a table. I had studied the menu online and tried to tell her that I was ready to order without seeing a menu, but she told me to consider. I looked at the menu for 30 seconds before calling her over and ordering. I asked for the Wi-Fi and she turned around and looked at her coworker, rolled her eyes and then pointed at a sign in the back of the restaurant. food did come out, surprisingly quick and tasted fine. I ordered the curry, which came with fried tofu, and I was expecting it to be seasoned like regular Asian tofu, but it was spiced like barbecue ribs. maybe that was on me, I probably could've asked more questions. Anyway, besides the rude lady who served me her coworker was actually quite kind and came over to bring me more napkins when she saw I spilled. atmosphere was great though, nice little restaurant with good vibes.

12/06/2026: The food here was delicious. A casual local dining experience. Pretty prompt service.

11/06/2026: Lovely staff and delicious burger. Vegetarian and vegan options available which is a plus. House sauce is okay. Garlic Aioli is excellent.

03/07/2026: Nice full irish breakfast. Seating filled up very quickly. Popular with the locals. No access for wheelchairs.

02/07/2026: I actually gasped when I saw the prices. You'd get much larger portions for better value in many other places near by. I feel sorry for tourists who wouldn't know any better. We were still there for 15 mins after being seated with no sign of anyone coming to take our order. We ended up handing menus back and leaving.

05/04/2026: Great vibe, great atmosphere, gets a bit crowded but most places do, very nice people.

04/04/2026: My friend and I stopped at Monroe's for lunch. We were blessed with the appearance of Remi, a friendly giant, who patrols the pub & check on guests (and their plates sometimes haha). The pub itself has a good atmosphere and very interesting signed posters on the ceiling! It was busy, but not chaotic busy. The staff was super friendly. We both ordered beef burgers, which were really really tasty, and of course, a pint of Guinness. We have also noticed the place hosts many gigs and other events, which is awesome!

18/06/2026: The place is central location near docs and good atmosphere. It offers delicious food with some asian vibe and excusite desserts

17/06/2026: Walked in for an early dinner at 5 pm and sat downstairs in the bar for their small plates menu. Food was exquisite, the oysters, ceviche, fried chicken, and seaweed butter were our favorites. Excellent experience, recommend reservations if you’d like to sit upstairs for their course menu.

22/05/2026: Excellent!!!!!! We had five separate dishes, three starters and drinks. Everything was spectacular and prepared to perfection. Wonderful! Thank you!

14/05/2026: As a welcome, we received warm service and genuine smiles, accompanied by a carafe of water with an orange slice, Guinness and whole-wheat bread with seeds, and salted butter. Then, our lunch began with a sweet Chardonnay to pair with a seafood platter, bursts of flavor that lingered on the palate. A small, crisp salad, perfectly balanced in flavor, capers with tender smoked salmon that delighted my taste buds, and truly delicious dried mackerel, all finished with a squeeze of lemon—I highly recommend it! Special mention for the Roche oyster; it's a shame there was only one. I was less impressed with the shrimp, which were blander than everything else. To finish, I savored a perfectly crisp crème brûlée (the inside was a little "cold," but I'm nitpicking) and a very good cappuccino. My stay got off to a wonderful start.

11/06/2026: We were able to make reservations at Hooked the same day and had no trouble getting a table. It was an easy walk from our Airbnb in the city center. The atmosphere was more modern than I had expected—not the traditional Irish seafood restaurant vibe—but I really liked it. It felt fresh, stylish, and relaxed. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive at the start of the meal, offering excellent recommendations, particularly when it came to choosing a wine. After that, though, she seemed to disappear and we didn't see her again until the end of the meal, which was a bit unusual. Other staff members checked on us from time to time, so we were still well taken care of. The food itself was very good, with the fish and chips being a standout. Overall, Hooked delivered a delicious meal in a contemporary setting and is well worth a visit if you're looking for quality seafood in Dublin.

10/06/2026: Really good menu and the food was excellent, really tasty. Nice atmosphere and service was good.

28/06/2026: Really great, gorgeous spot Really nice staff, food and cocktails were awesome Highly recommend

28/06/2026: Bar staff was great. Great selection of gins and Irish whiskey.

13/07/2026: They say 30 minutes to everyone who walks in but Average wait an hour. Also very long wait for food. Kitchen serves 2 floors. Not bad but not worth wait.

12/07/2026: The food was very good, the Irish coffee exquisite, and the service from the Brazilian waitress Judy was unbeatable.

08/06/2026: Fabulous afternoon here with live music 🎶

04/06/2026: Came in for a few pints and some live music on a Weds evening. The duo performing was excellent mixing some classic Irish folk songs with covers of some contemporary music. Pints were cold and served quickly.

19/03/2026: Really lovely food, incredibly prepared variety of fish, and a cozy warm atmosphere. The service was top call, Noel was really fantastic, friendly and extremely knowledgeable on everything on the menu and behind the bar. Great experience overall!

18/03/2026: Everything was perfect from the food to the wines, professionalism and speed.

10/07/2026: If you need no sleep book a room in this hotel/B&B

09/07/2026: This place is awesome!! Greats vibes and music for me and my college friends. Mira is the sweetest bartender. Will be back!!

04/07/2026: I was visiting Galway a few years ago and went to renzo cafe. The place was great. So on my return last week I went back in. Still brilliant. Great coffee and beautiful food. Friendly, helpful staff. As they say, Ill be back. 😄😄

28/06/2026: Love this cafe. My friends and I went multiple times on a trip to Galway and it was great every time. The food is delicious (I highly recommend recommend the Caesar wrap and the chorizo melt) and the drinks are great. The atmosphere is really nice and the music they play was always really enjoyable. The service is fantastic and everyone is really friendly. Also, the art of the walls is brilliant and relatively affordable. Definitely recommend!

26/05/2026: Upon arriving at the restaurant, we were told there would be a 30-minute wait, but we were seated within 10 minutes, which was great. We then requested a table closer to the band and were told we could sit at a nearby table for four. However, less than five minutes later, another couple was seated there instead. Naturally, it made me wonder if the color of my skin played a role. Sometimes it’s the small things that can make or break a restaurant experience. This was our first restaurant here, and I’m sure there are better places with friendlier service. Being handed vegetable stew in a to-go box to eat felt inconsiderate and unwelcoming. I’m from Texas — we simply don’t treat people like that. See pic below We had oysters, which were delicious of course being an American from Texas. We are so used to our crackers, and apparently they don’t know what that is. She had no idea what I was talking about. However, I should be grateful that they had Tabasco sauce.

26/05/2026: The drinks are great and great craic at night. However, my husband and I stopped here for dinner one night when looking for seafood and couldn’t get in to the upscale seafood place nearby. 45 minute wait for 2 people at 7:30pm on a Monday-would highly recommended the salted caramel espresso martini-amazing! We ordered the seafood platter and scallops. The oysters had pieces of shell in them and tasted of pure salt water-I love oysters but these were just not that great. The scallops were slightly overcooked as well. I would avoid this place for seafood and stick with drinks and possibly traditional food only.
