Crepes seem to be one of their specialties, so I had the Mediterranean crepe (€7.50) which was filled with a nice selection of Med veggies - peppers, aubergine, courgette, olives, and onion, combined with feta cheese. The veggies were well cooked and very flavorful and I'd definitely have it again. My brothers had a bowl of creamy soup (can't remember what type - perhaps butternut squash?) and a chili quesadilla, both reportedly very good. The coffee (they use Puro beans) was also very good - they make a nice flat white. I'm giving them 4/5 "green stars" for social and environmental impact. I didn't get around to asking for details on their ingredients and sourcing, and unfortunately there's not a lot of information available online. The only thing I know is that they do have a lot of vegetarian options on the menu and their veggies were very fresh and delicious. Perhaps the fact that they choose to serve Puro coffee says a lot about their ethos. Puro (which was nominated for a Guardian sustainability award) supplies shade grown, Fair Trade certified coffee (some organic) and are on a mission to preserve rainforests. Working with the World Land Trust, they have used proceeds from coffee sales (at least 2%) to purchase and conserve more than 16,000 acres of tropical rainforest, including orangutan habitat in Borneo. They also have social initiatives, such as their Trees4Schools project in South Africa and providing supplies and coffee plants to Fair Trade farmers in DR Congo. So, if you want a well-made cup of coffee where proceeds go to a good cause, An Pota Caife is a great option. The one story I found online about the café was about a man who had left an envelope of money behind one day, which turned out to be his entire disability allowance. The staff kept it in their safe for three months until they happened to spot him back in the café again, and presented him with his cash. So they appear to be good folk :-) Interested in writing green star reviews? If so, contact me! (greenstarsproject)

The staff are always incredibly pleasant and helpful, and you can tell they work hard, long shifts. I will return again and again!

However, we came here to grab a quick lunch to eat before our walking tour. The idea was to eat these crepes while on the tour to save time. (Sit down meals are a 2-3 hour affair in Ireland). Unfortunately, there were only 2 women working with only 2 crepe stations and even though there was nobody on line, it took them a very long time to make our crepes (waited about half hour). We ended up missing our tour. Hubby liked the the beef crepe with the included veggies and spicy sauce. I tried a chicken crepe but there were lots of gristle or something else hard in the chicken. The combo meals with bubble tea are a good deal at around 7.50 euros with bubble tea (or 6.50 without the tea). Bottom line, avoid the chicken and expect a long time to get your order.

The room was well updated and cozy. Each morning we had full complimentary breakfast across the street at the Barracks restaurant that was included with our room. Scott runs a very hospitable business and his passion for customer service shows through his staff. Michael was awesome, not only was he the one received us at 7pm, checked us in and showed us our room, he was also working each morning in the restaurant and helped us plan our daily journeys around the Galway area. Everyone we met were very attentive , kind and helpful. Next door to the Lodge, The Stone House Pizza had awesome food as well and is the one place we found that serves a true cocktail. I highly recommend staying at the Lodge at The Old Barracks to anyone who likes a local vibe and hospitality. After our fantastic experience I would never consider staying anywhere else when visiting the Galway area.
