The best restaurantsof irish in Galway

12/10/2026: Best place for breakfast in this area! And they have ready-to-eat meals to take away (which I still have to try) 👀

28/09/2026: Truly awful. Latte was ok. NO plates in the building to put a cake on, given cake on paper bag. Cinnamon bun had no Cinnamon on and was tasteless. Told lattes would be brought over but was yelled at to go collect it. Pretend this is an ebola site...

21/05/2026: Hotel is large with multiple restuarants and meeting spaces. Great for tour groups. Great location and nice staff. Decor feels tired and worn. We had a spacious standard room but if felt old.

28/08/2026: Fantastic chicken kebab and fish and chips, also vegetarians will enjoy their veggie based alternatives as my second half is vegetarian and really liked veggie kebab 👌

23/08/2026: worst experience ever the wait was over an hour and the food was even worse

16/09/2026: Waitress took care and checked in on everyone around us but us. Cocktails are amazing. Sole fish dinner is entire fish bone in…. Just let us know that. It was very hard to get bones off of fish.

30/08/2026: Only disappointment was the waitress. Rude at times and often not clear on what was on the menu. Putting the reserved sign for another party on the table before asking about desert was unfortunate.

25/08/2026: I was looking for a quick dinner nearby, no particular expectation. The menu is quite extensive but don't let it scare you. The food was really tasty, the staff incredibly welcoming and nice, I'd recommend 100%. Thank you for such a warm welcome!

09/08/2026: Loads of choice, including vegetarian options. All available as take-away as well as eat-in. Friendly service. Good price. Highly recommend.

13/09/2026: Good off-licence selection and good pastries and great sambos

30/08/2026: LtdMcCambridge's of Galway Ltd is a historic family-run delicatessen, fine food shop and wine shop, founded in 1925. Located in the heart of Galway City, it has been a true reference point for lovers of good food for around a century.

31/08/2026: really awful dinner and service tonight. lackadaisical staff & mediocre food at best.

31/08/2026: Very dear for what we got portions sizes are a joke plain pasta for a child 10.00 very over priced for the quanity of food we got also 8.00 for a dessert is a disgrace hence we didnt get any as would of been 36 for us all to have some wouldnt return here staff werent overly friendly either

22/01/2026: The owner’s behavior was beyond inappropriate. After I briefly used the restroom, I was confronted about forgetting to flush — fine, human error — but it escalated into being scolded about needing to *wash the sink* because I used hand sanitizer and “you don’t leave a sink that way.” I wish that were satire. What pushed it into absurd territory was the owner then **following me outside onto the street** to continue berating me. For context, this was in Ireland, where public bathrooms regularly survive far worse than a missed flush, and I was a young tourist who had literally just stopped in looking for the Wi-Fi password. That level of hostility says everything about this establishment’s culture. If you’re looking for genuine warmth, fair prices, and an actually wholesome experience, go somewhere authentic instead. Keep your “positive energy” far away from this negative environment — the branding may say serene indication, but the attitude screams bitter.

28/11/2025: Has obviously changed with new owners but not for the better. Restaurant size is reduced for the inclusion of a bakers shop. Walls are now bare. The menu and choice has somewhat shrunk. Sorry not changed for the better. Left feeling disappointed that the must have breakfast in Donegal town is no more. NOW PERMANENTLY CLOSED.

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! 🙌

15/09/2026: We ordered the grilled sea bass (fresh catch of the day), the fish stew, and the chicken pate, and everything was delicious. The draft beer and wine selection is great, and the price is fairly decent (~30$ per meal). Would highly recommend, and kitchen closes late at 10 pm!

14/09/2026: This was a weird experience. My husband got some oysters and there was a worm swimming in his oysters!!! 🪱🤢 that was horrible!! We sent the oysters back! After that we got the steak and that one was decent. This place has potential because it’s in a very good location but I wouldn’t come back 😅

19/08/2026: Cheap but good quality, simple & tasty fast food. It isn't greasy and I don't regret eating it an hour later unlike supermacks!

16/08/2026: Average fish and chip, prefer mcdonaghs fish and chips

10/10/2026: Fresh food everyday. Always fresh fried chips. Very cordial environment

16/08/2026: Ordered an never received food couldn’t get through on phone stay clear for delivery

06/09/2026: Best superman's by far always cooked fresh

12/07/2026: It has all what a fast food should have

15/09/2026: I ordered a veggie burger and ate it at the hotel. Afterward, I threw up all night and had extreme stomach pain. I hadn't eaten anything else in the hours leading up to that, so it must have been the burgers fault. Not recommended.

05/09/2026: Where do I begin, ordered food with the young one yesterday, upon finishing my chips I was still hungry so I got a chicken wrap while my daughter was still finishing hers, got the wrap, then my daughter wanted to go over 2 meters to look and pick out her ice cream for after food, we weren't there 1 minute when our food we hadn't finished was snatched and binned. I asked them when I realized why did they do that, 'oh were ye not finished', absolutely astonishing. When the matter was told to the manager, he just banged on the till screen, went to the chef and no response, i said I want my money back please, still no response or an apology from this so called manager with the chin strap for a beard. We got the ice cream and left, but when ordering the pink crunch ice cream, one of the workers tried to put one of the ingredients in the microwave as it got hard(it was still in plastic bottle), he said he'd open a new one, but when we left and on our way to car, that ingredient in the ice cream had hardened and was like hard glue, ice cream inedible. An absolute disgrace of an establishment, and eye sore to the community while taking people's hard earned money in the bin. Not a clue between them. Will never be back.
