Has a vegan option! 1, but I took it. Coffee was fine. When you're vegan in Ireland, you'll kind of take any options available!

Food 4 Thought - Vegetarian Breakfast Platter & Chai Latte (with oat milk)

Our wedding officiant brought us here for some café americano and sweets, following our little tour…read morewith him around Galway. I loved the outdoor seating that allows you to take in the air, the narrow streetways, the buildings that have stood here for centuries. While we could only do outdoor seating at the time due to the COVID-19 lockdown measures, this turned out to be quite the good fortune. Where we sat was a nice spot to see the various people walking down the street, engage in conversation, all the while enjoying a cafe Americano and some tasty baked goods like brownies and shortbread with chocolate on top. If you know where to walk from the Eyre Square, it's a great find, moderately priced, and very tasty eats. Hopefully, the next time I can have some of the hot dishes they also offer when we return to Galway.

Was roaming around the Saturday market and discovered this cafe nearby. Ordered a vegetarian…read morebreakfast platter (+ avocado) and a Chai latte (with oat milk since they were out of soy). Both were excellent and very filling. The cafe is located just off the busy street and has some some outdoor seating. The window seating is great for people-watching. They have both books and newspapers as decorations/available for reading around the cafe. There's also two small restrooms (men and women, but they're individual rooms anyways). The staff were nice and the place was very comfortable. Highly recommend!

Very eclectic atmosphere! A little bit rustic and little bit artsy. Service was great and staff…read morewere friendly. The food was great and menu changes depending on time of day. The place can get a little cozy, and there can be a wait. Recommend making reservations.

Ard Bia was one of the absolute highlights of our time in Galway. The staff here are incredible --…read moregenuinely warm, friendly, and so welcoming from the moment you walk in. 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.
