Cappuccino & Maple/Bacon Pancakes
Kate D.

I really like this little place! I wandered for absolutely ages to find something exactly like this-- a cafe with single seats and a good menu of food. I was so delighted to find this. I had the pancakes which are actually crepe style but thicker with the syrup and bacon, and a mocha. Also got a lemonade and it was all about 9 euro I think. The service was really good and my food came out pretty quickly but it was quiet when I got there. Became quite busy around lunchtime so I'd be aware of that. There's one place by the door that definitely has a socket but I forgot I needed one until I'd sat down and been served. I'll definitely be back here next time I need to get some work done though.

Nice cozy place with vegan options. Food is very delicious. Very friendly staff. Few sittings outside.

Vegetarian breakfast, with its constituent coffee and toast.

Cute friendly place on the water with excellent service - boy are they busy there! I'm not sure…read morewhere the kitchen is because there was food coming from all directions! I wish I could give Ruibin 5 stars but the items we ordered were not all 5 star items although I'd go back for the seafood ceviche alone and just eat that and the tomato salad and call it quits. - bread and butter provided at no charge were excellent - 5/5, soft chewy bread with a nice crust - sweet potato and split pea puree with pistachio and pita - 4/5, yummy and a solid offering - seafood ceviche - 5*/5 this was truly the star of the night. Deliciously fresh with two large round fresh tortilla wafers so so good! - duck breast - 5/5, this was my partner's outstanding dish - the duck was perfectly done and with a crisp skin. Wish I'd ordered this one. Instead (having had fish for the last seven meals!), I ordered - pastrami bavette (sliced steak with a very heavy crust of very salty spicy pastrami seasoning). The server did warn me it would be spicy and it definitely was - a bit too much so and salty too - perhaps if they had seasoned it a bit more lightly / the end piece that were mostly pastrami seasoning were almost inedible they were so salty. The potato side that came with it was delicate and crisp and delicious, I did eat a lot of the steak just around the pastrami crust and I did not have the bleu cheese since I don't care for bleus- that may have softened the saltiness, maybe - tomato salad - 5/5, this was excellent and light with juicy tomatoes, radish slices, some greens We didn't see anything appealing on the dessert menu so skipped that part, We're glad we tried Ruibin and would definitely go back for the ceviche alone!

In two weeks of eating around Ireland, this was the standout. Great food, great service and great…read moreambiance sitting in the bar area ( which is in several rooms). Where to begin? Every dish we ordered was good: oysters with rhubarb salsa; sweet potatoes/split pea dip with pita; tamarind beef skewers; mushroom dumplings; beet salad and the amazing ceviche. All are small plates perfect for sharing. Everything was excellent though the dumplings were under spiced. One fun note: they sell glasses of mystery wine, high quality wine not listed on the menu and you guess what it is. We had a few! Padraic o conaire, the Irish author that Galway likes to talk about, lived where the restaurant is based now. The rooms are filled with plants and photos; as well as jars of liquor being infused for future cocktails. Reservations are mandatory but not too hard to get in the bar. We compared menus and actually preferred the bar menu. It's pricey but a great evening

Things like fried egg, chips, rashers, bangers, sausages, fried fish, black and white pudding, bacon, and ham seemed to be a part of every meal. When we arrived in Galway, we decided to find something a little lighter/healthier, so we were thrilled when our search yielded the TGO Falafel Bar. A cute little vegan takeout place, that does a brisk business. The service was top notch, and the open kitchen allowed us to creepily watch as the food was being prepared. I liked that I watched them cut the falafel balls in half, so that even though my wrap had two balls, they were distributed evenly throughout. I was also impressed with the amount of food that was shoved into our wraps/pitas. The pita seemed to fall apart a bit from the liquid, so wrap is definitely the easier one to eat on the go, while the pita gets you more food for only an extra euro or so. If we lived here, this is where we would get most of our meals from.

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.

This is such a fabulous farm-to-table brunch spot and a must if you're ever in Galway. The service was wonderful and we went with the two dishes their staff recommended which are their brunch burrito and smoked salmon eggs Benedict. Both were insanely good, but the real showstopper was their famous Bloody Mary! The decor is so fun with funky light fixtures and brightly colored art on the walls making it so welcoming. Pro tip is to come later in the afternoon to squeeze into their last seating of the day and skip the long queue at prime brunch hours!
