Hamiltons
28/09/2026: We had fish and chops and a Caesar salad. Both dishes were hearty and delicious. For dessert, apple pie with vanilla ice cream. I can say that this pie has the best pastry base I have ever tasted!!! It is extraordinary. I would say that the place offers simple but fresh, quality food at a reasonable price.
27/09/2026: A good meal and a warm welcome.

Tigh Mheaic
13/09/2026: Food was very mediocre . Staff were pleasant. In the hallway leading to the toilets there were towels left on the ground soaking up something. The toilets are very dilapidated and give a dreadful impression. The place needs to be revamped.
26/08/2026: We stopped here 2 weeks ago at random and the food was delicious (we had fish&chips). Also the waitress was adorable and has VERY GOOD music tastes (we hope you've had the chance to find your Noah Kahan's ticket concert !! 🤞🏻👌🏻).
Definetly come back here if we'll have the opportunity. Take care !

McHughs Traditional Pub & Restaurant
09/09/2026: Great grub and atmosphere, we stop here at least once a month, portions are generous and the prices are decent. Would definitely recommend to stop there on the way out of the city.

Raheen Woods Hotel
Athenry
27/05/2026: The hotel is in a quiet and convenient area. We were greeted warmly by Tunde, who checked us in and shared some local knowledge. At breakfast, the manager, Oisin, chatted with us for a bit. Both experiences were wonderful and made our first trip to Ireland excellent. Athernry is a great town!

The Boat Inn
Oughterard
14/08/2026: I had a wonderful stay at The Boat Inn and really enjoyed my experience. The hotel was lovely, comfortable and welcoming. The room was clean, cozy and well prepared, and the self check-in process was very easy and convenient. The location was great, and everything was exactly as expected. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend The Boat Inn. I would be happy to stay here again!
12/08/2026: Located in the heart of Oughterard with every amenity nearby. The guesthouse has been tastefully renovated and refurbished. Check-in was quick and easy. The rooms are warm and inviting. A really lovely stay for a weekend, or even longer to explore the Wild Atlantic Way.

Puddleducks Café
Conga
05/09/2026: We had a lovely breakfast here at the homey Puddleducks Cafe. They welcomed our little dog who stretched out on the ground beside us. Nice and comfy. Good bagel and salmon, eggs Benedict and buttermilk pancakes.
Lots of locals, young and old. Seems like a popular place. Friendly staff.
04/09/2026: Had lunch here 2 days in a row while visiting Cong. I highly recommend the Club Sandwich, probably the nicest one I have had.
The Cafe is a lovely place to eat and the Staff are so friendly.
Will definitely visit again

West
Bearna
23/08/2026: Stunning meal this Friday with friends!! Food delicious creative and filling. Very much getting the full fine dining experience with the à la carte menu with all the lovely extra mini courses, great bang for buck! The staff were warm and attentive and our 1 small piece of feedback (not much considering 4 of us and multiple courses) was received graciously. The wine was all excellent. The Czech bubbles and the Lebanese red highlights to name but two. Will be back!!
16/08/2026: Lovely afternoon, service a bit slow. Cocktails were delicious

Armorica
Oranmore
26/10/2025: Gorgeous Tapas. Better new location had a lovely evening. Great friendly service. We had a lovely evening.
30/09/2025: This place is a good option to stay near Galway, the room is fine, nothing special very simple and require some basic renovation, our stay was pleasant but for what we payed we probably could find something much better and closer to town.
The best here is the restaurant and the staff, even if didn't have dinner due it was fully booked the night we stayed, we had breakfast there next day and it was really good. Parking is small but enough, we had to wait for a while to be able to park but is included with no extra cost which is fine.

12/08/2026: Stopped here with my young daughters on a tour of Gaeltacht and asked if we could speak as gaeilge, the lovely staff switched immediately and patiently did our whole 2 hours there in Irish. Such a great experience, honestly the highlight if our trip - AND the sandwiches were amazing. I got the hawaiin melt, so so good. Thank you, we will be back in future.
