The best restaurantsof irish in Galway

29/12/2024: Lovely relaxed restaurant.. good staff and food perfect .. presented lovely too.. will definitely be returning .. chicken wings starter was big more like a main and roast beef dinner full of flavour and a Yorkshire pudding is a bonus!

13/12/2024: Called in for lunch today. There was a good few people in restaurant. I was shown a table straight away and given a menu plus the specials of the day. I chose the fish pie special and a pint of orange cordial. Food and drink arrived promptly. The fish pie was out of this world, nice creamy mash with no lumps and plenty of fish in it. There was also serving of veg on the side which were how I like them, not overcooked.This was a good hearty meal served on time by lovely staff. Will definitely be back for more. Congrats to the owners and staff on the running of the Arches.

25/07/2024: The best lunch I had on the island - nutritious, beautiful and delicious! So nice to have fresh tasty salads. My only criticism is that hot drinks are served in disposable cups, even if you're not taking away. I personally find this unacceptable from a sustainability point of view and for me it also ruins the quality of the drink.

23/03/2025: We stayed here for 2 nights for a wedding. Nice, well maintained hotel with great attentive staff who were always happy to help and answered the phone very quickly. Leisure facilities were good, clean and looked after, you need to wear a swim hat but these can be loaned from leisure reception or brought for 2.50 euro. Only very minor gripes were that the shower in the room was a bit temperamental with the hot and cold and it wasn't that powerful. Also breakfast was pretty average, did the job but nothing to write home about. If it wasn't for these two points then it would have been 5 stars.

19/03/2025: Reception staff very friendly, room was basic but lovely clean plenty towels and tea/coffee biscuits. We booked a time for dinner as we were told it be safer we arrived down and seated very quickly, but it went down hill after that the waiting to order and for food to come was very slow. Very slow to clear table i had bring up glasses myself as i was afraid the child would break one. Bar staff had no interest in being there they were so slow to take order was left waiting at least 5/6 minutes every time one off us went up to order and it wasnt busy 2/3 sitting at bar. From a publican to another they need more training in dealing with customers or new staff hired that want to do the job. Pool facilities were lovely. Overall it was a lovely stay just need new bar staff.

04/12/2024: One of the top restaurants in the locality. Renown for its menu and exquisite dishes.

26/10/2024: Need to say this restaurant is absolutely fabulous and always has been. The normal choices are always available and to an excellent standard but the specials are often to die for. Excellent soups and chowder. The portions of veg and potatoes are generous and to a high standard as is everything. The only place where Cre na Cille has fallen behind is on price. As others increase the cost of eating out to a ridiculous level they have continued to hold prices reasonable and offer great value for money. You will always note the regulars coming back there again and again which points well to the excellence of the establishment. Well done Anne and Paddy
