So I waited in the (fast moving) queue inside Sherdans, looking over the crackers, cured meats, sauces, jams and the other treats before I was helped by a very pleasant young woman behind the counter. I provided my wants - a firm or hard cheese not from cow milk - and she instantly knew what was available. A sample of the first one and a sample of the second one, and I took a small wedge of each. Reasonably priced and wrapped properly. They lasted in the bag for about an hour or so until I shared them with my friend for a picnic in Eyre Square.

We had two spicy beef casseroles that were packed with flavor, along with two sandwich-and-salad combos that hit the spot perfectly. I grabbed a cup of the ginger carrot soup, and it was fantastic. Do yourself a favor and save room for dessert -- the cinnamon apple piece is an absolute must-try. And honestly, the lattes and coffees alone are worth pulling over for. If you're in the area, please give this family-run place a visit. You won't be disappointed. It's such a treat when you unexpectedly discover a treasure like this one.

I'd certainly recommend eating here if you have the chance to explore outside of Galway.

With an extensive deli counter with any cured meat you can think of, plenty of cheeses and salads, a butchers and fish counter too, a bakery as well as plenty of high-quality food ingredients, this has anything the food lover wants. It's been said that it's an expensive shop, you can't really deny that compared to a filling station or more generic grocery shop, but I definitely feel that it's worth it for the product you get. Great little shop!
