Food Scene

This is my favorite restanrant in Galway. I think it serves the best food and I love the atosphere. Its not a very formal place but the service and food are second to none. Its also lovely for a really nice lunch. Essential to reserve any night.

This is my favorite restanrant in Salthill. The food is realy good and atmosphere is lovely. Its not too formal and is family friendly. Its also nice for a quiet dinner for two (which is how I usually do it!). Good idea to reserve at weekends and during the summer but its not always necessary.

This is definitely my ‘go to’ local place for coffee & pastries or take lunch. Unfortunately they no longer offer seated dining but a great place to pick up a picnic to take to the beach.

This is a small place with nice tapas style food and good wines. Open for lunch and dinner. Probably a good idea to book although not always necessary.

This is a similar style restaurant to Kai and is located on the Spainish Arch bang in the middle of the city. The food is impressive and it a very cool atmosphere. I love this one also. Essential to reserve at weekends.

This is a proper french restauant and all the staff are french. The menu is tiny – a selection plate of starters, steak or fish or vegetarian for main courses and desert. A really fun night out. Food is good and great value. Great wine list.

This has been a favorite with locals and tourists alike. It’s a great spot if your in the city with kids and if the weather is nice you can sit outside and watch the world go by – and in summer you could see anything on Quay Street!!

This is a small little fish restaurant off the beaten track owned by the daughter of a Galway fishmonger. It’s a great family restaurant and really great value. The food is lovely and fish is always fresh. They take bookings or you can queue for a table.

This restaurant and Bar beside each other offer good quality Asian food. I prefer the bar as its more casual but the food is equally good in both. Bar is suitable for kids in the early evening.

Drinks & Nightlife

This is well worth a visit as it is a very old family run pub which is in the O’Connor family since 1942. The amount of memorabilia in the place is mind boggling and they have live musinc most nights. Althoguh it is a very popular tourist spot there are still a lot of locals who count it as their ‘local’.

This is probably the most popular pub in the city amongst 20’s 30’s & 40 somethings. It is open late most night and is very big so you may find the older age group towards the front off high street and the younger age groups upstairs where the disco music is blaring. Definitely if you’re single this is the place to be but full of couples also.

Another great spot for a night out – usually very busy and plenty of people to meet. There is a live music venue upstairs. This place will be rockin on the weekends and a great Sunday night venue.

Have a pint in Neachtains and preferably outside if the weather is good. This is a great spot and still a favourite with locals all year round. Positioned in the heart of Quay Street you can see all sorts here.

A great pub down ‘the west’ which is very famous as a live venue. The pub is to the front and the venue is in the back. Worth checking out the listings online as they get a really impressive line up of acts – also a lot of comedy and every Thursday night they run a Comedy Club which is great.

Sightseeing

Walk the Prom – if you want to be a real local Ever local person in Salthill walks ‘the prom’. I do it almost every day with my dog and its usually the best part of my day – that doesn’t say much for my life does it? If you want to be a real Galwegian you will walk to Blackrock (big yellow diving boards) and kick the wall, turn around and come back. As your on holidays you can stop and buy an ice cream if the weather is nice.
