How are there no reviews for you yet, you fabulous little hidden gem?! Upon my arrival in Westport,…read moreI was lucky enough to find this wonderful spot hidden around the corner on an unassuming street. I was greeted immediately by the locals, offered "the best coffee in Ireland" (too bad I don't drink coffee), and spent the rest of the night hanging out with my new friends. This place combines coffee shop with wine bar with groovy music...what's not to love. When Tom (the owner) is there, free wifi is available (no wifi when he is gone). The vibe is total hep cat meets artsy caffeinated wino. I haven't felt as comfortable in a bar as I did there in a long time. I wish this place was on the corner of my street, because I'd be there every day.

Lovely wine bar! A…read moretrue oasis for wine lovers escaping from the busy streets below. The selection included mostly light wines from Austria to New Zealand. The bottle of Australian Pinot Noir we purchased for 40ish Euro was young and didn't open much even after being open awhile. But we should have chosen differently. They offer tastes before purchase on wines available by the glass. It would be nice to see a few bolder options such as from California. Friendly staff, cozy and inviting environment. I would definitely return if in town.

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.

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

We sat near the dessert display and everyone had a hard time deciding - it was quite entertaining! After much deliberation our daughter picked the Lemon Meringue Pie. We'll be back later so we can try one of the Brownies...

We were the only ones in the restaurant for about an hour and the staff was just exceptional.

My husband and I enjoy trying local Michelin Star restaurants when we travel. Even though the…read moreservice was outstanding, the taste of the food from the 9 course tasting menu needs much improvement. The presentation was excellent, however 5 of the main tasting items were incredibly salty. We kept the mood light and made some jokes of how our blood pressure will rise after this extremely salty meal. The atmosphere is modern and spacious, the sommelier was extremely knowledgeable and the staff were professional and exceptionally polite. I'm quite genuine, easygoing, grateful and normally write positive reviews . I'm writing this review in hopes that this Michelin Star restaurant becomes aware of this issue. Hopefully Loam improves their tasting menu by reducing the amount of salt they use in their ingredients.

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.

When I first asked if I could have no vegan cheese, the waiter responded that it would not be possible to do that because the quesadillas would not stick together. Understandingly, I got it with vegan cheese. But, when my meal came out, the cheese was unmelted, the rice was in the shape of a plastic container (it had clearly been microwaved and slapped on the plate), and my salad had wilted, brown lettuce. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience, especially considering how much my meal costed.

The oysters with frozen apple and horseradish was one of the most creative dishes I've had. The duck hearts, while a bit bitter, were full of adventurous flavors.

I hope whatever is next for the Éan family is nothing but good things. Thank you for a wonderful meal!

I had my first cruffin which is a fluffy croissant. The raspberry and lemon cruffin and the chocolate and coffee cruffin were the favorites. The vanilla and plum danish was also a winner. Loved the coffee here as well as the espresso was smooth and bold. I absolutely love the ambience inside. With the stone walls and candles, it felt like you were dining in a castle. With coffee shop music and art on the walls, you could easily spend hours here with a book and coffee. Very friendly service but not the place to come if you are in a rush. It is popular and meant to be a place to linger. Lots of people coming for takeaway as well and people were able to bring their dogs inside to pick up food but not sit inside with their pets. There are a few tables outside for seating though. Looks like there is also a tasty lunch and dinner menu as well but they sure know how to deliver on breakfast.
