  • Java's is a small cafe that is very popular for a late night coffee/snack.

    It is a great meeting place after the bars/clubs close and is open till 4am most nights.

    We had a quick coffee here and enjoyed the music and atmosphere.

    If you need a quick caffeine or sugar hit whilst shopping in Galway, why not pop into Elles Cafe.

    Although we did not see the Super Model there, we did have a nice coffee and a tasty little treat.

    We were then able to soldier on till happy hour time!!

    We had heard so many good reviews about "Galways Best Chipper" McDonaghs, that we thought we had better see what the fuss was about.

    We ordered the mandatory serves of fish and chips, and settled down at the communal tables to wait in anticipation.

    We were sorely dissapointed........the fish was overcooked and it looked and tasted like the oil was long overdue for a change.

    It left an unpleasant taste in our mouths......and we were forced to wander up the hill to the Golden Arches for a caramel sundae!!

    The Tearoom at Kylemore Abbey puts on a great lunch.

    It is a cafeteria style set up, when you move along with your tray and select what you would like to eat. Hot dishes included a yum serve of irish stew.

    Good value for the location.

    Pretty busy too - all the tours seemed to eat here.

    The place looks rather cramped, dark and dodgy, and this impression is emphasised by the Fat Freddy's portrait on the signpost, but the food is very great (especially the pizzas). I also quite like the atmosphere in there with its wooden tables, chequered tablecloths and candles. And not to forget the cartoons on the menu.

    KILRONAN, Inishmore, Aran Islands:
    The Aran Fisherman
    Well this isn't the best restaurant, and definitely not the cheapest (Fish & Chips for 12.95 IEP!!! Well I guess logistics are a bit complicated on the island)...but it's about the only real restaurant there!

    Catch of the day.

    The "Quiet man" -pub: The most popular pub of Ireland is just a grocery

    Cong - the Quiet Man pub
    by globetrott
    One of the most popular pubs of all Ireland is certainly this one - although it never had been a real pub, but a simple grocery store.

    But in the movie 'The Quiet Man' it was used as John Wayne's pub, and a lot of tourists would like to see the 'famous pub' and they are quite disappointed not to be able to take a drink at the place, where John Wayne had to fight against his brother in law...

    It is a grocery, so you may buy also packed food and drinks there and you will also find a big selection of black&white pics of the movie !

  • This eatery has a cafeteria on the ground floor and a slightly more expensive restaurant on the first floor. They offer a nice variety on their menu and fresh baked goods. It is not the fanciest place, but great for a good quick meal.

    McDonough's Fish and Chips: Disappointed

  • I was disappointed when I had heard so many good things about this restaurant. I didn't care of the batter used for the fish, and parts of it was still soggy. You had to pay 80 cents for a very small container of tarter sauce and 60 cents for 1 packet of ketchup. It was certainly nothing special.

    Mitchells, Clifden, Co. Galway: Kids not made feel welcome
  • Satisfaction:
  • Updated By IrishAtHome on October 7, 2004
  • County Galway Page by IrishAtHome
  • The restaurant has a nice ambience but on the day we were there the staff were as wooden as the furniture. My wife, my 4yr old ,my 2 yr old and myself came for lunch. What struck us first was the prices on the childrens menu. The items were listed much the same as the items on the regular lunch menu but about €1.50 dearer than the adult option!!!! Average price for a kids portion burger and fries €11.50 ($14). We asked could we get a plain ccorned beef sandwich for the 4yrold, this arrived at a cost of €6.95 ($8.60). My wife had the burger and fries, I had fish and chips, 3 cokes....Total €35 ($45).Tip ...dont go back!!! Food was mediocre, staf were dreadful. Our feelings on leaving this restaurnat were mixed. We wondered is there an unwritten policy that kids are not welcome in this particular restaurant?, Is Ireland the most expensive country in the world to travel in? Am I turning into a grumpy old man? Our conclusions were ...YES YES and NO...not necessarily in tht order...or maybe yes. With this sort of attitude Im not sure when we'll be holidaying at home in Ireland again.

    Plain corned beef sandwich at the extortionate price of €6.95
