Ambience was muted and elegant, wait staff were friendly and patient and the food was superb, truly. An unexpected gift to find creative and delicious appetizers and entrees after a few days of solid but predictable soda bread, seafood chowder, and chicken fillet rolls in the Aran Islands. We tried two crazy sounding appetizers and they were both out of this world good. Shiitake donuts yeah?? Wish we'd had a chance to try brunch for some breakfast burritos and Bennie's eggs. Also dig their philosophy on food and farms, our family in Taiwan are organic farmers and the care and work that goes into producing food with that ethos is no joke.

I had the Dela Fry, which was a ton of food but 100% delicious and worth it ...especially paired with their outstanding house roasted coffee. I basically didn't eat the rest of the day. Mom had the Bacon pancakes which was also a lot and she's tiny but she went after those like a champ. I was impressed. I tried a bite and they were also outstanding. Service is lovely... great vibe and decor, super nice folks here. Would visit again without a second thought.

Hidden gem in Galway, from interior design to food on the plates, that place knows what they are…read moredoing. And why is it not busy as crazy? I don't know!!! They make their own bread, I swear you just carbload when you start tasting it. It's so delicious. With our soup we got carrot bread and poppyseed bread, both unique and perfectly fresh and crunchy. The soups are delish, one soup of the day - no fuzz around them, just vegetable but holy shot, so yummy. The one I had was spicy and very peppery, great taste. For mains on the lunch menu (very seasonal) they only offer a few choices, speciality is fish in that restaurant so I suggest trying it too. I had smoked and fresh salmon pasta with a creamy sauce. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the salmon was too,. Couldn't leave anything behind on the plate even though I stuffed myself already with the bread... No space for desert but what we had where matcha lattes - you can choose between vanilla and coconut. Healthy and yummy at the same time. Great restaurant all together, must try for everyone when you are in town.

It was extremely refreshing and would pair well with nearly any drink. I ordered the veggie plate, see picture below. I asked for it to be made vegan of course! I unfortunately can't remember the exact name of the dish because i can't find a full menu online. This dish was extremely delicious! All of the vegetables were fresh and nothing was too salty. If anything it tasted a little on the bland side in terms of saltiness. But I loved it!!!! This dish truly made me feel as if I was nourishing my body with wholesome pure foods. See pictured a wrap as well, which I also don't know the name to. However, I didn't try this dish. So I can't speak of the taste of it. I recommend checking out the museum attached to this restaurant because it's FREE and has great history of Ireland! I loved this entire center center and am so happy with the plethora of vegan options all around!

My first meal in Galway and it's a winner, big time…read more I had the crispy curried chicken salad - roasted and fried chicken that comes with a crispy potato skin salad, pickled courgette with Moroccan harissa... enough said ;-) Oh, let me attach a picture of the best salad ever, you know... just to invoke feelings of jealous among other Yelpers. And it only cost €9.70... I rest my case. Service was excellent too - they did bring out a chicken wrap by mistake but rectified it very quickly with plenty of apologies. If you manage to nab a table outside, you'll have a fine view of the Spanish Arch and the Corrib River - and then walk your meal off at the adjoining fantastic Galway museum!

The space itself is small and cozy, with just a handful of tables and a private room, which gives it that intimate, tucked‑away feel. I'd 100% go back. They offer two specialty cocktails and a wine list, and while the cocktail selection is limited, the wines are unique and fantastic -- definitely worth exploring. The food was outstanding across the board. The monkfish scampi isn't what you might picture, but it's fantastic -- super crispy and full of flavor. And you have to get the bread: tomato focaccia or brown bread, then topped with the fennel, thyme, and maple butter were all unforgettable. The bavette steak was delicious, and the mashed potatoes were truly out of this world. The sea trout was incredibly fresh; just a heads‑up that the gremolata is spread over the whole dish, so it ends up almost poached in olive oil -- worth noting for anyone sensitive to that, but the flavor itself was excellent. Definitely end the night with the affogato and the shortbread cookies (chef's kiss). Who doesn't like to dunk their dessert? Highly recommend, would absolutely come back.

I ordered the Herterich's Full Fry but asked if they could half it as I also wanted a scone and also ordered a tea. The atmosphere of the place is very cute and has a hipster-vibe to it. There was a minimal wait for my food and it all arrived hot. The food was amazing, seriously. They even had their own homemade ketchup. The scone was good, but nothing spectacular. It was filling and the jam was really nice but not sure I would get it again as it was a little dry. I would still highly recommend this place. The staff is great, the atmosphere is cute and the food is really really good.
