Recently we talked about the Best Restaurants in Dublin. Now here is Galway! No matter what kind of food you’re in the mood for, here are ten best restaurants in Galway you’ll have to try.

For real, delicious, authentic Thai food, WhoseView contributors agree, it has to be Thai Garden on Portmore Spanish Arch. “it’s a diamond in the rough” says member Evey. All the other reviews agree. If you like Thai food and are looking for a new place to try, give this a go- you won’t regret it.

For a wonderful, reasonably priced meal, Galway-goers should eat at Padraicins. Diners can look out at beautiful water views at this lovely country restaurant, while enjoying an extensive array of items on the menu. Everyone agrees that the seafood is definitely the best choice here though. Lisa says “their sea food chowder is the best ever and there’s some competition for it in Galway”

The potato takes center stage at Couch Potatas on Abbygate Street Upper. The humble potato never seemed so fancy as with all the toppings and fillings available here! Couch Potatas is a favorite of Galway area students for their big portions and free wifi, but Michelle said it was just as she remembered it 10 years later! Amanda gives a shout out to the Hawaii 5/0, a potato with ham, pineapple, and cheese, but we bet anything you try is going to taste great!

Great Italian food finds a home at Basilico on Main Street. Many members raved about the pizza, as well as the prices. One other plus to this restaurant’s great food and service? It’s family friendly. Reviewers tout large portions and great dessert, so save room and come often!

Da Tang Noodle House

This small, relaxed Chinese restaurant on Middle Street offers great food in an intimate setting. Maura recommends the dumplings, while P.B. suggests bringing a date! The food is authentically Chinese, and the service is friendly and quick- what more could you ask for?

Finally! A burger place you can bring your vegan friends to! The menu at Boogaloo Burger (which is on Lower Abbygate Street) features wonderful burgers, ribs, and vegetarian and vegan options. Delicious burgers are the specialty here, and the array of options is just fantastic!

If it’s large portions and tasty Italian food you’re looking for, try L’osteria Da Roberta on Upper Salthill Road. The food tastes authentic and the prices are fair. Reviewers raved about the vegetarian ravioli!

For affordable thin crust pizza, those in and around Galway should try Apache Pizza on Lower Dominick Street. Great for eating in or for takeaway, Cian says it’s much better than the chains! Apache Pizza offers meat as well as vegetarian toppings for their pizza. Delicious!

For a good meal and a great night, The Front Door Bar and Restaurant on High Street is the place to go. Offering multiple courses for a fixed price, the food is reportedly great. The atmosphere can’t be beat either “I’ve never had a bad night in here” says Amanda. Though many caution of crowds, particularly on weekend nights.

And don’t forget to head to Griffin’s Bakery on Shop Street for dessert. This place has been around for ages, and at you’ll know why as soon as you taste it! Reviewers posted many wonderful things about all the special occasion cakes available here. Stop in if you’re in Galway City shopping or for lunch. You can get a table and people watch while enjoying your lovely treat.
