Best places: Irish restaurants in Galway, Ireland

👍👍 Spectacular cocktails! Dennis is an absolute treasure. Everything was delicious, and the Salted Caramel Rum and the strawberry gin cocktail (I forgot the exact ingredients) stood out especially.

👍👍 Very cosy, intimate restaurant. Lovely staff, very laid back, but good service. Menu wasn't big, but had good options for all. Only wines, bottled beer and cider, no hard spirits. Seafood chowder and lamb shank was absolutely amazing! Very big portions, next time I'd go just for mains. Very convenie...

🫤 Disappointed😔 I was quite disappointed with this experience. Whenever we passed by this restaurant there was a big line so we thought it would be a good place to eat. We had to wait about half an hour in a line. We had our hopes up and we were excited. Upon entering, the restaurant was packed wit...

Festive cafe/restaurant with a quirky interior, serving creative Irish dishes with global pzazz.

Seafront, nautical-themed eatery serving dishes using fish and seafood caught daily, plus views.

👍👍 Nice cosy atmosphere with great food and top class customer service. The prices are also very reasonable and the staff are very friendly. Would highly recommend, particularly for lunch as this is when we visited. Baby bowls and a kids menu are available. We had the baked salmon and chicken wings.

Traditional pub featuring all-day dining & hefty meals, plus a large whiskey list & sports on TV.

High-end dining in a bright, homey interior with creative, farm-to-plate Irish menu and many wines.

👍👍 Great pub in the iconic Latin quarter of Gallway. Good food and drinks, with an amazing atmosphere and live music. Service is helpful and friendly. Can recommend if you wish the Irish experience.

👍 They messed up our order so knocked off 10% total bill. Food although not as ordered was still done nicely and good portion

Relaxed spot hung with chic modern art, serving locally-sourced dishes with a global twist.

😐 Disappointed to be honest, I've heard good things and It was just an ok dinner. The service was good but we felt the food quality wasn't really worth the prices. All my friends said they'd had cheaper and better food in Galway. I will go again as I've heard good things and so it may have just been...

Family-run bar/restaurant offering global classics all day long, plus live music on Saturday nights.

👍👍 Excellent breakfast, very good value too, lovely fun and friendly staff. Not too fancy and new, but a more traditional Irish style, it has plenty of charm. The best spot for a decent full Irish in Galway

👍👍 The first time I had Pratai was from the food truck during the Galway Christmas market. The freshness of the chips, unique sauces, and flavours blew me away. I was excited to hear about a pop up shop opening on shop street and went there as soon as it was possible and the food was still as amazing a...

😠 So here’s the thing... this is SOOOOOO NOT WORTH €11.90!! It was not only swimming in grease but the meat was not fresh either. If this was made from a naan, maybe it would be more worth it but this pita isn’t doing it. The chips were decent but kebab was horrible.

Snug bistro with an outdoor terrace, offering Modern Irish dishes made with local ingredients.

👍👍 Incredible 5 course tasting menu. Undoubtedly one of the very best restaurants in Galway. Loved the surprises and every course was amazing... as were the wine pairings! Fergal and the staff really looked after us too and made it a meal to remember!
