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.

And the staff is very attentive. The menu does change throughout the day and they serve breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. I recommend getting the pea risotto which was creamy and comforting with the perfect crunchy bits of bacon. The sea trout was also delicious. Crispy skin on the fish and the freshness from the gremolata brought the dish together well. The cod and mussels were a miss for me. I found them both to be a bit too salty for my pallet. The side of broccoli & cauliflower was just roasted veggies with a dollop of curry butter on top nothing fancy.

The menu consists of a pretty large selection of small plates and all of their food is locally sourced. They pay a high attention to detail to allergens.

We then wandered past Martine's and despite our initial misgivings about the relative emptiness of the place, we decided to go in. Great Choice! We were treated so well during our dinner and enjoyed the leisurely pace and comfort of our meal, with great service, menu advice, and nice wine pairings. I went for the delicious and chunky Fish Stew, as did Don. Gayle chose the Hake, while Fern went for the Roast Supreme of Chicken. All well prepared and quite tasty. The wine list was good, with my choice being a nice Vinho Verde and Gayle with her favorite Chardonnay. It was a great and leisurely night out! If Gayle and I are ever back in Galway, Martine's would also be a great date night choice.

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.
