Coffee shop
👍👍 Cannot recommend this place enough! Such a terrific hole-in-the-wall cafe that’s a little outside the bars and crowds of Galway. Coffee was perfect and our barista Áine was so friendly! She provided so many local recommendations for food, more coffee, and things to see. You won’t regret coming here.

It’s a very small & cosy spot so would recommend booking in advance. Great advice from Ger on what food & drink to order. Loved every minute & will abso...

Tribe Coffee Shop
Vegetarian cafe and deli
👍👍 Nowhere in the reviews dose it say that “this coffee is so much nicer than tescos mellow and smooth instant coffee” so let me say just that. No but for real this coffee is insane and bares no comparison to that mud jar.

TAPA&GO
Tapas restaurant
👍👍 Knowing my friends visiting Galway, and knowing the town has a distinct Spanish influence, I just knew they had to have at least one outstanding Spanish tapas food truck delivered without fail! The food is amazingly delicious and the know Javi’s is so gracious and warm. They hit top marks across th...

👍👍 My body was sore and my back was in a bad state because of all the driving I do for work. I knew I needed help. I contacted fat Tony’s and signed in for an hour in the groom room.

Fairhill Coffee
Coffee shop
👍👍 I can safely say: best coffee I've ever had in Ireland in 3y! This place is a find. I was impressed that the croissant butter has the same flavor as the amazing Brazilian bottle butter and it was like biting into pieces of my story. In addition, the coffee comes from the Brazilian Cerrado and it is...

👍👍 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...
