The best restaurantsof irish in Galway

23/06/2026: Very helpful staff in Salthill branch (when I had forgotten to order my bumblebee birthday cake on time!) Delish 😃

16/06/2026: Definitely worth trying! Very good coffee and bakery for a low price! Delicious cakes and buns, please give it a try! I will come back next time if I visit Galway again. Please support this nice cafe, very friendly staff - leave a few tips for them too. Thank you!

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! 🙌

23/07/2026: The food wasn’t too bad… However, the hash brown from the full Irish seemed like it wasn’t fresh and the mushrooms were quite dire. The iced coffee was also made wrong - it was warm so I imagine the ice was added in at the end making the drink just watery unfortunately. The service and atmosphere is also lack luster. The lads serving/ waitering need to be a bit more energetic or vocal… maybe even approach customers as they come in rather than speaking at them from the counter or sounding uninterested. It’s not the worst place to go to eat, but there’s definitely much room for improvement

19/07/2026: Popped in here yesterday for breakfast with my husband. Fantastic little spot. Staff super friendly. Food was absolutely gorgeous. I got the scrambled egg and husband got full irish. Was absolutely delicious 😋 and a great price too. Compliments to chef. Will be back soon .

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.

17/06/2026: When visiting from Canada a check list item for my sister when in Galway for Chips and a 99.

03/06/2026: The girl i think she’s the manager or supervisor is so lovely and good at her job. Treats everybody so well staff and customers even when they’re rude to her.

15/07/2026: I came in with my friend on a hot evening looking for something small we were greeted by an Indian man at first after waiting 10 minutes to be seating and no que he then gave us one menu and took another five minutes to bring the other menu to us, we looked at the menu and decided we wanted a toasted sandwich because we seen other people getting them and we were then greeted by this Indian women who was extremely ignorant and unprofessional she refused to let us order sandwiches when they were flying out the kitchen and a man beside us was having one she was extremely rude and has an attitude avoid this restaurant!!!! All the staff were standing around twiddling there thumbs Terrible staff with no manners if I could give it no stars I would !

06/07/2026: My only experience is a great local place for breakfast in Salthill.

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.

18/07/2026: Everything was great. A delicious fish stew for €20. And very good fish and chips for €15! Very cool atmosphere. Welcoming service. Excellent value for money. I recommend it.

18/07/2026: Cool place aesthetically but the service was horrible, the food was entirely hit or miss, steak was way way undercooked, and we were charged a service fee or tip that wasn’t included on the receipt or mentioned at all. Will never be dining here again and will recommend most people avoid this place when visiting Galway.

21/05/2026: I visited Galway for the day from Cork City and happened upon this wonderful café. I had the Cubano sandwich, paired with a small bottle of Brisa Merlot and a chilled San Pellegrino. Everything was exquisite — simple things done beautifully well. Upstairs, the view overlooking the main thoroughfare was the perfect finishing touch: sitting by the window, watching the world drift by, with the rhythm and charm of Galway unfolding below. A truly memorable little escape.

11/05/2026: Had a wonderful experience at McCambridge. The store has such a warm and inviting atmosphere and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Everyone was happy to chat, offer recommendations and make the experience feel personal and relaxed. The hot chocolate was absolutely delicious rich, smooth, and easily one of the best we’ve had. The whisky sampling was also a fantastic touch and made the visit even more enjoyable. It was a great way to try something new in such a comfortable and enjoyable setting. A lovely shop with amazing products, great service, and a genuinely pleasant atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit when in Galway.

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

08/03/2026: DIRE! Food was awful. Inedible rubbish !

11/05/2026: Chips reheated left over from previous orders but only small hard pieces I didn't enjoy, chicken tasted old. Worst I ever had. Can of coke was good. Not recommending anymore.

07/05/2026: Waited 2 hrs for delivery, I live 15 mins away. Food was really not good

09/07/2026: Fantastic prices, very reasonable

10/06/2026: Burnt chips and a joke of a quarter pounder. Guy behind the counter looks a you likes he hates you.

30/06/2026: Supermac’s on Newcastle Road, Galway is a well-known stop for quick and familiar fast food, and it generally delivers on food quality, but the overall customer service experience could be significantly improved. The food itself is what you would expect from a traditional Supermac’s outlet—hot, fresh, and consistent in taste. Burgers, chips, and chicken items are usually well-prepared, and it remains a reliable choice when you want something filling and convenient. The ambience inside is also quite good, with a decent seating area that works well for both individuals and families. However, one of the main drawbacks is the service. Customer service feels lacking at times, with slow response, limited engagement, and a general sense that the customer experience is not a strong priority. This is something that many visitors tend to notice, especially during busy hours, and it does take away from the overall experience. Parking is another area that could be better. While available, it can be limited and inconvenient, particularly when the restaurant is busy, making access slightly frustrating at peak times. Overall, it’s a decent option if you’re looking for quick, standard fast food with good taste and a comfortable seating area. But there is definitely room for improvement in service and customer care to match the popularity of the brand.

03/05/2026: Excellent food, superb milkshakes, friendly staff. Very good atmosphere.

12/07/2026: Very busy today. Loads of tourists inside . Chips hot and tasty out . Happy kids

26/06/2026: Not very tasty, even for a fast food chain. The fries were okay, but the pizza was one of the worst I've ever had. For that price, you can eat much better in Salthill; I don't know what possessed me. Most of the tables were dirty, even though the restaurant wasn't crowded. The security guard was very insistent about making sure the kids inside had actually ordered their food. Although he was polite, it really ruined the atmosphere. At times, I was afraid they'd ask me to leave too, either because I hadn't ordered enough or because I was sitting alone at the table.
