Kai
Galway
08/12/2025: The best seafood I had in Ireland. The seafood tower is a must try and great for a special occasion.
06/12/2025: The food was bland, unimaginative, and tasteless. We had a starter and a main course, but after these, we decided to skip dessert. There were only one size of wine glasses available, so we had to drink the Pinot Noir from a very small white wine glass. The service was inadequate and showed little interest in us, including our criticism. We felt that the service was somewhat arrogant and snobbish. We certainly won't be returning.

Finnegan's
Galway
15/12/2025: Found it by a local’s suggestion for dinner. SO NICE.
Staff super kind and smiley. Good food, good beers and atmosphere.
We took Irish lamb stew and veggies curry both tasty and comfy food.
We truly enjoyed spend our time in here.
Perfect if you are looking for something simple and cozy in Galway! Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed by the amaizing staff and food!
Ps. The largest and tastiest onion rings ever ;)

An Pucan
Galway
29/12/2025: Amazing young woman behind the bar professional ,efficient ,knowledgeable & above all service with a smile , unfortunately i didnt catch her name
29/12/2025: An Púcán has a great atmosphere and friendly service, and the outdoor area is a big plus. Just a heads-up: on match days it gets very busy and loud—if you’re after a quiet, relaxed pint, it’s better to visit on a non-match day.

Cellar Bar
Galway
08/01/2026: A Galway classic you can always rely on
The Cellar is a Galway staple and one of those places you know you can always depend on. It’s an old reliable in the best possible way.
The food is consistently excellent, the portions are generous, and the prices are fair, which isn’t always easy to find anymore. Whether you’re dropping in for a casual meal or bringing someone who’s visiting Galway, it never disappoints.
It’s been doing what it does well for years, and that consistency is exactly why it’s such a favourite. Proper comfort food, a solid pint, and great value.
04/01/2026: Classic pub... good service and good food

Craft Shack
Galway
31/10/2025: Called in here for lunch during the week, was seated and had my order in front of me within 10/15 minutes.
Their toasted sandwich, chicken pesto sandwich and chips were all super delicious and extremely well priced.
Highly recommend stopping in here if you're in Athlone and looking for a tasty and affordable meal.
26/10/2025: Lovely place with good food. This is downtown so of course you can have some problem with parking but it worth

Salthill Hotel
Galway
11/01/2026: Great staff, lovely food, and amazing rooms. Treated my daughter like royalty when they found out it was her birthday.
09/01/2026: Outdated and overpriced. This hotel is not worth ‘4 stars’. In my opinion, they have some neck to charge customers their prices. The signal is nearly non-existent on the first floor. I wasn’t acknowledged by staff at the table during breakfast - you have to ask them to bring you toast, heat up croissants/scones etc and order coffee separately as it’s not accessible at the buffet, plus there’s a price menu to pay for coffee even though I already paid for breakfast included in my room rate.
I could go on and on, like the steam room wasn’t working and the button to release bubbles into the jacuzzi wasn’t functioning properly. The food was bland and lifeless. The only benefits were the gym as the equipment was a decent standard and free on-site parking.
Do yourself a favour and save your money for another hotel.

The Universal
Galway
19/09/2025: Reservation required for dinner. Great food & wine!
13/09/2025: Don't ask for a pornstar martini.. They tell you they'll give you something similar but the only similarity is the price. Horrible glass of grapefruit and prosecco

17/12/2025: Nice compact cafe,good food and staff.
04/11/2025: Nice café. One small change which would make it stand out above the other noisy cafes of the city would be to turn the radio off.

Gourmet Tart Company
Galway
06/01/2026: The branch I frequently visit is in Salthill.
The staff there are across the board, so friendly, obliging and courteous.
The food, (my preference are the pies,) are all delicious.
They make an ab fhab, what I refer to as a Giant Jaffa Cake.
😋😋😋
Well worth the shekels no matter what you like!
👍

Caprice
Galway
02/01/2026: I was here today with my friend and the food was brilliant really tasty the servers were really friendly the problem was the shouting I witnessed from a chef in the kitchen, he simply roared at one of the servers speaking absolutely horrendously to the server, this is simply not ok the poor server said nothing but clearly looked upset, now I have worked in a kitchen before so I understand how tense it can be and easy to snap at people but this was much more then that and ruined our experience there today.
17/12/2025: Brought my son for breakfast. Food was delicious and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Would recommend
