The best restaurantsof irish in Galway

11/01/2026: Stopped here for our first real Irish breakfast.

25/11/2025: A fantastic little find. The cafe is at the top of the main street in Cong. The food, prices and service was second to none. We had the breakfast and it set us up for the day.

09/01/2026: The food was delicious and portions were generous. We had the Roast Beef and the Duck and we'll definitely be back!! Also the chairs are really comfy 😃

24/11/2025: Stopped in for breakfast and it was absolutely excellent. The food was fresh, well-presented, and really good quality, easily one of the better breakfasts I’ve had in a long time. The dining area was comfortable and welcoming, and everything came out quickly. A special shout-out to Radi, who was genuinely exceptional. Her service was warm, attentive, and incredibly professional. She made the whole experience stand out. Highly recommend dropping in here for breakfast and say hi to Radi!

12/12/2025: I usually love Supermacs in Gort but my bf and I thought we'd treat ourselves to festive 5ozs and they were very disappointing, the sauce was so watery that half of it was in the box, the cheese was melted to nothing and there was maybe 2 or 3 small pieces of mushrooms and onions.

07/11/2025: Great food and service here as usual. Its great to pop in and grab something fast to eat in gort

21/07/2025: Beautiful hotel. Spacious room, lovely setting. Easy check in. Friendly staff. Super clean, even the tv remote was in a plastic protector!! Used the leisure centre which was relaxing. Evening meal was gorgeous. Lovely spacious areas to sit and relax on all floors. Can not fault our stay.

21/07/2025: Beautiful hotel! The room was comfortable and clean, the staff was welcoming and very hospitable, and the food at the on-site restaurant was great. It is a bit isolated, but if you're staying for a night or two, it's absolutely perfect. Plus, many of the rooms have a balcony - a very nice touch!

13/09/2025: Unfortunately, it's closed, although Google shows it as open. Apparently, it's completely closed, not just closed for the winter (according to the landlady of PDans Pub).

06/09/2025: Lovely vegan food!! 💚 Beautiful views.

28/12/2025: I was really looking forward to trying the steak tartare at BlackThorn as this dish is for me a true indicator of a restaurant’s quality. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. Visually, it was promising: the meat was nicely chopped and well presented with onion and pickles. The problem appeared with the very first bite — the entire dish was completely dominated by horseradish. I couldn’t taste the meat, the onion, or any sense of balance at all. The horseradish overwhelmed everything else. Additionally, the texture of the meat was watery, giving the impression that it had been quickly defrosted and served immediately without proper preparation. When it comes to steak tartare, this is unfortunately disqualifying. It’s a real shame, because my expectations were high and the potential of the dish was completely wasted.

20/12/2025: Excellent food and staff. Will be back soon!

09/11/2025: Best breakfast and lunch by far to get in athenry. Quality is consistent you can tell the food is always fresh. Little to no wait on the food, excellent prices. Could not fault it.

26/08/2025: Best breakfast we have had in Ireland! Lovely cafe, very welcoming and friendly to both 2 and 4 legged guests. The breakfast was delicious and so big we don’t need to eat for the rest of the day. Really super cafe and highly recommended.

27/10/2025: Great room, very good location. The staff is really friendly and welcoming. The bar downstairs is pleasant. We had a wonderful stay! Great room, very good location. The staff were really nice and welcoming. The bar downstairs is pleasant. We had a wonderful stay!

15/09/2025: Superb lunch stop for beer and Special Toasted sandwiches. Great friendly service

02/01/2026: We are eating in this place several times per year and it always was great. After yesterday’s experience I kinda started to doubt my senses. Tasteless blank seafood chowder and fries that gave me an impression of very abused grease. Guys, what happened to your chef??? Waitress did her best to cheer me up, she was lovely but the front desk guy gave me that look that I immediately felt unwelcome. Smiles costs nothing. I know you can do better than that. A pot of mussels helped a little but I doubt we will be back any time soon. Such a shame.

28/12/2025: We went as a last minute booking of a 6 ,costly for ok average food although large portions , not always necessary. Not sure all was homemade. Staff very friendly. food was served very quickly no time to rest between courses , felt we were being rushed. Overall ok

10/09/2025: We stayed at Rosleague Manor for 2 nights recently. This is a stunning hotel. Everything was perfect. Lovely spotless spacious bedroom

04/08/2025: We stayed for a night in a family room and we really enjoyed our visit. The room was very big with a king size bed, two singles and loads of space for kids to play etc. breakfast was very nice. We spent a lovely Sunday morning playing with Johnno the dog on the lawn out the front of the hotel.

30/06/2025: We ate here on both of our evenings in the beautiful village of Portmagee. Magnificent seafood, I had hake here on one night and John Dory the second - both fantastic. We all ate well and had a visit from the friendly owner making sure all was well. As an aside, we also had breakfast here, again it was excellent. All servers were friendly, helpful and attentive. I could not recommend this restaurant/Balmore highly.

13/06/2025: We spent a week driving around eating at some really great restaurants in Ireland, but this one was one of the absolute best. An amazing surprise, considering the few choices in this town for food. Everything was done with fresh, quality ingredients and with a great attention to detail. Just a great surprise and an amazing lunch. Best brown bread I had in Ireland. The lamb shanks and the stew are highly recommended.

30/10/2025: We found fantastic food and a cosy room with a sunset view at this place for our one-night visit to Inishbofin during the off season. The ferry arrived a few hours before check-in and they allowed us to drop our bags off early so we could hike around. The bed was extremely comfortable. Adrian couldn’t have been kinder and even connected me with a book that helped me find some details about my ancestry on the island. The bar/restaurant served excellent food and even had a veggie burger for me, which is not something I expect even on the mainland! Don’t hesitate to book here.

10/10/2025: Fantastic location great staff service and food thank you for having us we will be back

26/09/2025: I occasionally get fuel here, but mostly I visit the Supermacs outlet onsite.

18/09/2025: Nice clean seating area food was great

20/01/2026: Dog Friendly in Bar Pet Suite not available to book online but very easy to book, must contact hotel directly

14/01/2026: Dog friendly, service is poor but the food and coffee are decent.
