The best restaurantsof irish in Galway

03/11/2025: Before I get into it - floor staff were very good. Bar staff stood and talked so no odds. Music very loud - listening to loud rap whilst trying to eat and enjoy the evening. Ordered Burger and Wings. Burger bun fell apart upon its arrival ( dont think they made any effort to heat the bun). Very greasy. Cheese also a little cold but melted in parts. Wings...swimming...swimming in sauce. Ive seen this type of thing elsewhere in US etc. Paying premium prices for frozen chicken Wings swimming in sauce: cant taste the chicken...just mouth full of sauce. Didnt finish it. Felt sick leaving. Understand some ppl will just love this...but i want to enjoy my food, not drink cheesy hot suace. Also, management please could you do something about the absolute pong of weed. Im all for doing what one wants but I dont want to smelling that crap whilst paying 30 quid for food. YEP - Paid over 30 quid for two mains and both were crap. This place is a rich man's Superman's.

28/10/2025: Great tasting burgers and an incredible range of chips.

13/11/2025: Great service and lovely meal, top class service.

11/11/2025: Had accident in car park whilst exiting my car resulting in badly cut wrist. On entering the restaurant they dressed my wrist and made me comfortable. Only having one hand they assisted me in eating my meal. Exerlant service.

15/11/2025: Came here for classic fish and chips. It was ready very fast and was delicious. The person who served us was kind enough to bring us an extra plate without us having to ask, as we were sharing.

13/11/2025: Some of the best oysters I’ve ever tried. Nice atmosphere and a friendly service.

29/10/2025: Wonderful warm welcome, friendly staff and delicious, exiting food bursting with flavour. 😋 I wish we lived nearer to Galway. We will definitely be back.

27/10/2025: High quality food. Excellent option for lunch and dinner.

27/10/2025: To start with the (mostly) positive points: a welcoming place, a menu that offers something for everyone, all at very reasonable prices (~€15 per dish), a wide selection of drinks, extremely fast service, and pretty good food! As for the few negative points: the first is that the service wasn't very friendly, although nothing dramatic at all. And more subjectively, the curry was good but not entirely to my taste, so I can't give it five stars; the wait for seats also plays a role. Other than that, it's still a nice place that I could definitely return to on my next trip to Galway!

27/10/2025: We had planned to meet friends at a different restaurant but plans changed at the last minute so we arrived at a very full Di Bella without a reservation and the staff were amazing, showed us to a quiet table in a corner which was perfect for us the food was amazing and was served quickly but by no means rushed. I highly recommend the spaghetti carbonara. The Brie was amazing. Will definitely be back.

04/10/2025: Found this place on accident but so glad we did! Awesome pub!!!! We had quite possibly the best pour of Guinness in all of our Ireland experiences at Darcy's. Thank you Adam!!!!! You made the right choice leaving your old job to work here!!!! We will be back on our next trip to Ireland!

21/09/2025: Terrific Saturday night live entertainment with James D - you have to hear this young artist. Great Irish pub vibe, lots of singing along, solid selection of Beers. No food - snacks only - so eat before you get there.

11/10/2025: For some reason, the man working was annoyed that we ordered food (in a restaurant). Very sour. Slammed the card machine down. Weird.

11/10/2025: A lively pub with great live music. Had so much fun!

10/11/2025: The food at Caprice was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was lovely. We were a group of three, but unfortunately, one dish was forgotten, so one of us had to wait while the rest were served. Mistakes happen, but it did take a bit away from the experience. Overall though, the food was excellent, and I’d be happy to visit again.

23/10/2025: Frozen tasteless frozen fish for Euro 22 sold as fresh. Batter was oily and didn’t add anything. Waiter was dismissive and not interested in hearing my opinion, I then waited for the bill despite it being quiet. Avoid!

09/10/2025: Great food and atmosphere at Dock 84! 🍴☕️ We stopped into Dock 84 while in Donegal Town and had a really enjoyable experience. The place has a relaxed, modern vibe with plenty of space to sit back and enjoy a meal. Staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome right away. 😊 I ordered the grilled chicken burger 🍔🐔 and it was excellent — the chicken was juicy and perfectly cooked, with fresh toppings and a soft bun that held everything together nicely. It was filling without being too heavy, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. My wife went for the waffle with a spread of Nutella 🧇🍫 and it was a real treat. The waffle was light and fluffy with just the right crisp on the outside, and the Nutella made it indulgent without being over the top. A perfect sweet option to balance out my savory choice. The second time we went we had egg shakshuka and Tikka wrap which was good again as usual One of the highlights here is that Dock 84 has its own bakery products 🥐🍞, and they are absolute delights — fresh, tasty, and clearly made with care. It’s a lovely bonus alongside the main menu. Do note that there’s usually a wait time of around 15 minutes ⏳ throughout the day, but honestly, the food and atmosphere make it worth it. For convenience, there’s a car park directly in front of the café 🚗, though it is a paid one 💳, so keep that in mind if you’re driving in. Service was quick once seated, prices were fair 💶, and the location is ideal if you’re exploring Donegal Town 🏞️. Whether you’re after a hearty bite or something sweet, Dock 84 is a spot worth visiting. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in town! 🙌

03/10/2025: The two ladies who we always see here are great! Good craic, Great coffee and tasty cakes!

10/11/2025: Have to pay for parking never had to do that before,and took money in full a week before never did that before,most of staff helpful not all.Could not get a toasted sandwich in the bar never seen that before,would not stay there again.

02/11/2025: Would not stay there again they took money a week before had to pay for parking e5 per day that was with discount the kitchen was been renovated you couldn't get a toasted sandwich in bar the menu was the same every night some of the staff were not helpful.

09/09/2025: Many great aspects to this restaurant but more awareness of customer requirements required. Remember the customer pays for service.

07/09/2025: The conservatory was a nice spot to meet for coffee or lunch. They have a sensory cubbie for neurodivergent kids which I thought was a lovely idea.

26/10/2025: Lovely place with good food. This is downtown so of course you can have some problem with parking but it worth

17/09/2025: Banging sandwich. Like truly class, was full all day. 10% off if your a student, but sandwich is €11.50 (club sandwich) base price, so you do the maths. Huge tho, and well worth the cash. Triple decker, and they did not skimp on the chicken and the bacon. Great for if you’re hanging in the morning, or preparing to be hanging the next day. Also just tasted top class as well. Served very quickly, staff were friendly and no wait to be seated. Was pretty busy but place is big wi plenty seating. All the rest of the space in the box was filled wi crisps too, so well worth! Cheers :)

25/10/2025: Nice restaurant, there is a choice on the menu. We ate well.

19/10/2025: The best restaurant in Salthill Galway. Offering the best food the best service. The chefs Toni and stuff do great food. And young waitress Emma was so amazing with us. Fantastic. Thank you 😊

13/09/2025: The best place in Galway for craft beer. The food is also amazing!

07/09/2025: Absolutely rotten . Waited an hour for gone off food . Worst dining experience I have had in a long time
