Great little restaurant! Amazing salad and dessert! Very helpful, friendly staff. Can be quite crowded. We sat in their outside dining area. It was lovely.

The best thing about this restaurant is that they understand outdoor eating in Galway. Hot water bottles and blankets are the way to go. Great range of gluten free food. Lovely wine menu and a helpful staff to advise your choice. A great place to sit and people watch. Love this place

Where to stay in Galway

Stay at the center of Ireland's "Most Irish City," Galway City, by booking a hotel or hostel near Eyre Square, from which all city sights are walkable. If you prefer accommodation with more character, stay at a charming guesthouse or bed and breakfast just outside of the center, or look for lodging in the city's Latin Quarter, a bohemian neighborhood lined with cafes, galleries, and pubs. If you want to explore Galway County, book accommodations in the city, since it's a tourism and transportation hub on the West Coast. If you prefer the quiet countryside, seek out small, family-owned guesthouses on the Aran Islands or a cottage on the Connemara Peninsula.
