The best restaurantsof irish in Galway

19/01/2026: Dead quite at between 1 and 2 today, 1 other table. Got sat, someone walked by is several times, after 15 minutes sat we left, felt like we were been ignored Also the menu was so restrictive, u can’t make any changes Been here lots of times before, things can be slow, but in this case it was ridiculous.

17/01/2026: I ordered the smoothie bowl, and the raspberries were mouldy. Incredibly disgusting. Not once did a server come to check if food was alright, and the table was so far in the corner that I wouldn’t be able to get out without getting the others at the table to get up (not that it is ever a customer’s job to chase after staff - they should have checked). When the waitress came to take our plates, we complained that the raspberries were mouldy. She apologised and said she will let the kitchen know. Shortly after, one of the people in our group got the bill and brought it back. They had not only charged for the two dishes with MOULDY raspberries, but they had charged a gratuity. For what? Nobody came to check if food was ok, which should be standard everywhere. After some hassle, I managed to get those removed from the bill. I was in face told by the waitress: “You kinda should have said?” regarding the mouldy food. However, I DID say, as soon as she bothered to stop at our table, and quite frankly it was too late. Maybe the staff ‘kinda should have’ checked their food for mould before giving it to a customer. Absolutely unacceptable to receive mould on a plate, a serious health risk. I would recommend anyone to avoid this place like the plague. Update: After reading other reviews, I’ve seen multiple people saying they received bruised or mouldy strawberries/raspberries.

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

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

13/01/2026: This place had the cosy local atmosphere I was looking for and best coffee I had tasted since leaving Australia.

02/01/2026: Staff are so kind & helpful food always top notch

17/07/2025: Franchement , ambiance sympa , personnel sympathique … on a super bien mangé … on recommande pleinement… bien placé en ville … la musique pas trop forte ce qui rend ce moment très agréable et tout ça avec le sourire des serveurs

29/06/2025: No reservation. Welcomed and seated immediately. My husband had the burger and I had the beef and Guinness stew. Both were delicious as was the apple pie dessert that followed. Friendly staff. I would recommend and return!

28/09/2025: Very good restaurant, fast service, one problem however: the aperitif is served at the same time as the starter, but this does not change the quality of the food.

27/09/2025: This place is surprisingly unstable. We visit occasionally, and are usually satisfied. Yesterday we were thinking about visiting during the oyster festival, but the prices are high. We get them delivered to our home, and with delivery, they're a third cheaper. A full dose is 18-24 euros straight from the farms. Nearby, at the Japanese restaurant, they were offering a gift tasting. Free. What a treat! Overall, maybe, but not great.

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! 🙌

28/12/2025: Terrible, the duck had probably been dead for some time.

17/12/2025: We couldn’t find a table at other good restaurants as it was a very busy night in August and, unfortunately, ended up here. I ordered the dry-aged rib eye steak and it was terrible! I told them medium and it came rare. They didn’t care that much when I told them, put it back on the grill for a few minutes and came back still on the rare side. The meat itself was tasteless and felt like a poor quality steak. My wife got a burger and it was mediocre at best. 100 euros spent on a bad meal! Spend your money elsewhere and make reservations for dinner in high season.

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

31/12/2024: Muy, muy decepcionado. Visita anualmente @xmas pero nunca más. Gnocchi no comestible, hamburguesas secas, patatas fritas tan fuerte rebotó cuando trató de comer con un tenedor, la merluza era horrible. Platos muy desnudos, sin ensalada de acompañamiento en cualquier plato. Los ñoquis solo tenían un pequeño trozo de pan de ajo, las porciones eran extremadamente pequeñas. No demasiado ocupado así que no hay excusa. Quedó esperando años para ordenar y de nuevo para pagar. Dije que la comida no era buena, pero le dije que no le diré disculpas al chef. No volveré.

08/10/2024: Good for a pint of Guinness to wind down the evening while sitting out front to watch the people. There are bouncers at the door checking ID's but they could clearly tell that I am definitely of age. Inside, loud with music at 8pm on a Saturday night. So it was outside with the pint glass and thankfully, no one smoking out there. Great to sit for an hour and watch the idiots peel out from Eyre Square in their fancy cars. And watch the taxis make the u-turn to the stand directly in front. And when someone did decide to light up, finish off the pint and head onwards. Lots of tourists in town this evening so it was busy all around.

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

29/12/2025: Another, and final, woeful visit to Supermacs Salthill. Years ago it was a well run fast food place. Today, seems anyone coming inside is an inconvenience to the staff. As on a previous visit recently, no member of staff acknowledged me queuing to place an order. I understand that they have previous orders to prepare, but a minor acknowledgement would let me know I was not queuing in vain. The six visible staff went round in circles with no communication to each other. Nobody leading, nobody prioritizing and nobody noticing when I walked out the door.

24/12/2025: Four weeks in a row I’ve had my burger order sat waiting not being handed out for no reason usually for 10-15 minutes for no reason, and each time the ingredients have either been missing or different all together,

30/12/2025: Ordered 4 medium pizzas. They arrived 30 minutes late from the time given, were lukewarm, and we're a smaller size than were paid for. Tried phoning the restaurant multiple times and each times was hung up on.

05/11/2025: Ordered a regular beef burger meal for a seat in. After having my fries which where actually very tasty and my drink, I was so full. So I decided to bring my burger as take away, only to find out later that I was actually served a chicken burger instead. I was very disappointed. Even though I was disappointed I will still recommend eating there because the food is tasty and fresh, but maybe physically check your order at the till upon collection to avoid any disappointment.

31/12/2025: 1 meal for 2 people is enough, huge portions

24/12/2025: Delish breakfast, lovely service x

31/12/2025: Lovely cosy cafe real Irish Breakfast loved it boys loved the pancakes.

22/12/2025: Just happy with this place. It’s the first place where I had a coffee and Irish breakfast last year. Went there several times. Today I came here again with friends. The service was great and all of us were happy with the food and drinks. Thanks!

29/12/2025: I’m new to the city, but McCambridge’s already feels like it’s going to be one of my favourite spots. Amazing deli and grocery selection, great quality produce and local treats—and the café upstairs is a lovely bonus. Always worth a visit.

21/12/2025: I came in here looking for some oriental tea bags. Unfortunately, to my horror I seen the Derek Chauvin working there. Now I'm not much into the culture stuff myself but I've been thoroughly educated by my niece, who is a barista. So she knows all things politics in her career. That man took a knee for BLM but not in the correct way. A solid gold coffin wasnt enough.
