The best restaurantsof irish in Galway

07/04/2026: Terrible experience. The manager is rude, don't look at customer faces and don't give any kind of experience. Never going back there, specially at salthill. There's plenty of other coffee stores to go. Also the owner, Michelle, is not a friendly person at all. Horrible coffee, dirty coffee machine, steamer completely filthy. Bad experience.

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! 👍

09/03/2026: Best restaurant in Galway, in fact best restaurant in Ireland hands down. Has been consistently brilliant since it opened thanks to Conor the owner. Atmosphere is buzzy and great people watching. I would highly recommend.

03/03/2026: Disgusted. Was hoping for dessert and wine at 10pm to finish the evening. Were rudely seated and then completely ignored for a good while despite trying to catch the waitrons attention. The restaurant was empty and 3 waitrons just chatting Really unacctable given the amazing options around the corner. Turned out to be a blessing in disguise as we stumbled accross Augustin next door. Amazing!!

29/01/2026: The best scones in Galway and always impeccable service💕

17/12/2025: Nice compact cafe,good food and staff.

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.

20/04/2026: Awful experience. We both ordered fish & chips (we had it here previously and it was nice) and this time were we surprised. The fish was 100% frozen it was easy to tell as both plates of fish were identical the batter held the exact same shape which wouldn’t be the case if it was freshly battered and the piece of fish itself was tiny exactly how you get in the frozen section in a supermarket. The chips were horrific, cheap and also frozen. You would think being right beside salt hill fish & chips should at least be a dish that they served well. €20 per meal for something that came straight from the freezer in their kitchen 🤮

09/04/2026: Lovely food, would recommend,Lovely staff,all around happy 😊

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! 🙌

22/12/2025: Waited for over 5 min while 2 staff members walked by the counter ignoring people wating. When Deliveroo driver came in he was seen to. I was then ignored while the gentleman who came in after me was served. 0 stars, no atmosphere or customer service.

20/12/2025: This curry cheese chips was promised to me 3000 years ago

15/04/2026: Mixed experience at this restaurant. Average service, very slow in any case, relatively expensive but good dishes, but it's mainly the atmosphere that is very different from the other pubs on the street.

07/04/2026: Pleasant food and wine, and very friendly service.

27/03/2026: The staff are incredibly friendly and the food was amazing. Would definitely recommend the Nutella & Banana Pancakes

23/03/2026: Best. Breakfast. Ever. Small. Quiet cafe.

03/04/2026: Came back here for the sake of nostalgia (I came here often as a student). Was pleased to find out that the chilli beef udon stir fry was just as amazing as I remember it to be lol xD Patient and friendly staff who helped my in-laws with their order. Highly recommend.

23/03/2026: Had a Very Good Cajun Chicken Quesadilla at MixGreens. Recommended Quality Service.

18/02/2026: Love this place, staff are lovely and friendly. The kebabs are fabulous. Just this evening the chips were so undercooked I had to pop them in the air fryer when I got home. Still love the place though

18/12/2025: This is the second time I buy from them, the second time the same problem, they don't pay attention to what you order and make your food the way they want it not the way you ask, the staff is very rude, disrespectful, and they are paid from our money, if you want your business to continue to run, change the staff and give your customers what they ask for, I'm sorry but I will never buy from you again

09/04/2026: I am commenting specifically on the selection of local whiskey and spirits. They have a very large one, including lots of mini bottles or good Irish whiskey. They let you try a bunch or local whiskey and gin for free, along with some competent explanations. Overall, I'm very impressed with this store and will definitely be coming again the next time I'm in Ireland.

05/04/2026: What a great place with lots of yummy irish brands and kind workers

08/03/2026: Takeaway pizza. Everything was ok. Very busy so must be doing well

22/02/2026: Horrible dirty tables Ketchup self-serve area disgusting unhygienic Service slow and make you feel like your disturbing them from doing nothing Toilets stinking and dirty Chicken on the bone dry and looked like it was knocked down and reversed over Chicken strips ok Chips undercooked and cold cheese didnt even melt on them I like supermacs but definitely wont return to this branch

12/04/2026: The steak is absolutely amazing! Perfectly cooked and seasoned,and the onion ring were phenomenal!
