Misunderstood Heron
17/10/2024: Food was okay but the location made up for that. Gone back a bit since last visit. No toilets available.
13/10/2024: Very nice view. But you can only eat outside. The food only varies seasonally. A little expensive but friendly

McHughs Traditional Pub & Restaurant
10/11/2024: Best Sunday lunch in Galway. Tasty, excellent portions and quick service.
03/11/2024: The ambience and service were great, but unfortunately the food didn't taste good, it was pretty tasteless, the menu read better than it tasted, unfortunately.
The Guinness tasted good though

Donnelly's
Bearna
23/10/2024: Exceptional service from professional staff. Beautiful food. Huge portions. Lovely restaurant. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff.
13/10/2024: At Donnelly’s of Barna, I tried the Galway Bay Seafood Chowder, and it was delightful. This thick, rich soup paired perfectly with traditional Irish bread, making the dish especially hearty. The chowder became the true highlight of my meal at this cozy café!

Armorica
Oranmore
15/11/2024: Great French / Irish restaurant. The food and service have really improved since our last visits (we hadn't been in about a year). I had Hallibut and it was one of the best seafood meals i've ever had. Great flavour / texture to the fish and excellent sauce (cavier style). My partner had Duck and this was equally delicious. Friendly service. Nice house white wine. We will be back soon
14/11/2024: What a great find. I’m in Ireland for business from the US and have stayed at the Armorica multiple times. The rooms are very clean and nice.
The restaurant is “Top Notch” with a small but very well thought out menu.
I highly recommend both the restaurant and the rooms.
Great view of the Oranmore Castle from the window!

Town Cafe
Athenry
28/09/2024: Once we got given a table the waitresses were refusing to serve my husband and I. we waited for at least 17minutes and other people coming in way after us were getting served first. Very rude and unprofessional
14/09/2024: Nice little brunch place with all day breakfast. Very reasonable prices and a menu with something for everyone. Lovely brown bread. Only minor issue was that poached eggs were over cooked.

Adrien and his team are A1!
Food,drinks,service
27/08/2024: The rooms very nice but could do w more tea bags for my thirsty mouth. I enjoyed how much Windows it had in the ceiling which was one. It left me a happy camper.
The shower was not warm and I didn't enjoy that very much.
I was upset to see that the beds weren't together but a little push sorted that issue ehehehe.
People in the bar were very nice and smelled deleteable. Good scent.
The shower gell turned me into a marshmallow.
The room smelled delicious and so did

Paddy Burkes
Clarinbridge
10/11/2024: Paddy Burke's is a great bar/restaurant. Really nice atmosphere. The Irish stew is extremely tasty and it was a significant portion - absolutely stuffed after it!
08/11/2024: "A Must-Visit for Food Lovers!"
If you’re searching for a memorable dining experience, Paddy Burke’s is the place to go! The food is phenomenal, with a great mix of classic Irish dishes and unique specialties. Every bite was delicious, especially the fresh seafood—it’s a true taste of Ireland!
The service here is impeccable. The staff are friendly and always ready with a smile, making sure every guest feels welcome and taken care of. As for the setting, it couldn’t be more ideal. The restaurant’s location is beautiful, with views that add something magical to the meal. I can’t wait to return!

GATHER Restaurant
Tuam
11/10/2024: One of the best meals we had while visiting Ireland. The service was great too.
10/10/2024: When I am over in Ireland I always book this restaurant. It’s a little gem. The duck croquettes … I can’t stop thinking about. Would also recommend the pork belly delicious. Staff always welcoming and friendly. Can’t wait to go back again!!!❤️🤩😋😋😋

O'Dowd's of Roundstone
Roundstone
04/11/2024: Lovely setting friendly staff. But Dublin City prices
€13.50.fir a zero zero Peroni and a glass of Pino.
Did not eat here as we had booked a Restaurant in Clifden for dinner.
The setting is amazing and staff very friendly but it annoys me when you get overcharged for drinks .
03/11/2024: I ordered crab claws. Very small and quite tasteless, and I am not talking about the sauce or the recipe style, the meat had very little flavour itself. I am not an expert but they made me think they could have been frozen. Had much better ones, in flavour and size, in many other places around Ireland and for less money. They came with nothing on the plate aside a slice of lemon. Considering all this, 22 euros sounds to me like a total rip off. The crab salad my partner got, one of the specials, at 19 euros, was the same size of a starter you would get anywhere else for much less, and was the most simple in terms of flavours and ingredients. The other thing we ordered was a portion of chips, which looked and tasted like frozen oven chips. A good fast food chain would serve possibly better ones. Considering the many other incredible gastro pubs and fish restaurants Ireland offers everywhere nowadays, this is one I would not recommend. Total tourists trap in my opinion.

Finn's Bar & Restaurant
Milltown
06/09/2024: Tasty food, large portions and lots of toppings.
23/08/2024: Finns in Milltown is a top quality family run restaurant located on the N17 in the centre of the village. Comprehensive menu with a choice of starters, main dishes and dessert.
There is lots of free parking directly across the road at the Heritage Park.
Worth a visit if in the area.

The Arches Hotel
Baile chláir
19/10/2024: Very friendly staff.
Food good quality and fresh.
Good value
08/10/2024: Stephen, the "manager", is awful to deal with. Trying to organise a small family function and Stephen has been very scattered with information, doesn't know what's going on. Can't confirm times or menus. I put a provisional hold on a date, (provisional as we were waiting for menus and dining times), gave all my information, he was supposed to call a couple days later, never did. I had to chase him up, when I did, he tells us he is full that day. He never actually provisionally booked us in. This was over a matter of 5days between 3 separate calls. We have had a very bad experience, so much so, we will not be returning to the arches again.

Gallery Cafe
Gort
03/11/2024: What a great little find. The Thai curry was nicer than you'd get in a Thai restaurant. The pineapple cheesecake is the best baked cheesecake in ireland. Staff very busy.
02/11/2024: Nice place and good breakfast but expensive and the staff was not welcoming or at least a bit more appreciative for the
26€ charging for an omelette, a piece of cake and coffee!
