Great lunch in a very cute cafe…read more Places like the Hungry Monk are easy to love: comfort food with with locally-sourced ingredients in a very charming little town. Just by looking at the menu and the way the food is served you can tell that the owners take pride in what they do. I have a nice piece of leek quiche with a side salad and a piece of their homemade brown bread. It was great and I wish I had the chance to try more.

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.

We stumbled into the Connemara Greenway Café & Restaurant purely by chance, and wow... what a gem…read more Our group of four adults absolutely loved every bite. 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.

Freddie's brings a fun Italian neighborhood feel to Galway's food scene. The exterior has bright…read moreorange eaves blending into the lively Quay Street around it; once inside, you'll find a relaxed, slightly bohemian space with artful décor and comfortable seating that feels like a polished local favorite. The vibe is upbeat and casual, loud but not overly so: great for group dinners, laid-back evenings, or a hearty meal after a day of sightseeing. At around 6:30pm on a Sunday night, our group of eleven needed a dinner option close to the station before our bus back to Dublin. There was no seating inside the restaurant, but plenty of space on the heated patio outside. The menu has something for everyone, with small plates, sandwiches, pizzas, and pastas, and there's also daily specials and a fairly affordable drinks menu. I ordered their Beetroot & Goats Cheese Salad (€15), which was a fresh salad of mixed leaves, beetroot, vinegary-pickled onions, acidic-sweet marinated tomatoes, rich warm goat cheese, mixed nuts, and extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze. This was a wonderland of textures and flavors, with crunch and softness, acidity and earthiness; for me, the true standout was the generous portion of two sizable pieces of melty, creamy goat cheese with just a slight hint of tang. I also appreciated the fact that the salad wasn't drenched in dressing, but thoughtfully drizzled with a light EVOO and mild balsamic glaze. I initially thought it was a bit pricey, but it was a large portion, and I found the goats cheese made a great substitute for a more traditional salad protein; additionally, the freshness of the vegetables made me willing to pay more of a premium. Other great dishes included their Spicy 'Ndjuja Pizza (€16 - a thin crust pizza topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella, spicy 'nduja sausage, Cashel Blue cheese, and a drizzle of honey), Primavera (€16 - pasta with roasted chicken, sundried tomatoes, and red onion in a creamy Parmesan sauce), and their Bailey's Tiramisu (€8 - the classic Italian dessert spiked with a splash of Bailey's...it was absolutely as delicious as it sounds). I will note that the pizzas seemed to be a better value than the pastas, as they were larger portions at similar prices. All in all, Freddie's is a fun Italian-inspired (if not entirely authentic) restaurant in a heavily-flocked area of Galway, service is friendly (if a bit slow when it gets busy), and prices are reasonable for the location, portion sizes, and tasty food. It's an easy pick for anyone in the area wanting an enjoyable night out!
