About Us

  Both my partner and I enjoyed a lovely meal with some drinks here on a Sunday afternoon. I enjoyed a lovely chicken dish with a proper good creamy pint of... read more Guinness while my partner had the steak cooked to her liking along with some delicious cocktails. Neither of us could fault one thing as the place is just fab. The staff were very efficient, super friendly and very welcoming. I'll be looking forward to coming back in the future.

  I've been going there for years. I did reviews in 2013 and 2014...the last one being very positive. I pop in every now and then for lunch and the food... read more is decent without being wow, to be fair but in the past year the level of service has dropped quite a lot. About 2 months ago I went in for lunch and was about to sit down at a table, to be told I couldnt sit there. I pointed to another table and was told it was graduation ceremony day at NUIG and tables were required. Several tables had reservation markers. The two I suggested I might sit at, did not have any markers. The place was half empty - it was 1 oclock. Obviously they expected to or anticipated filling all tables and have maximum capacity at each table and the idea of one person taking up an entire table was not maximising profit! I went in on my own, but had two friends coming to meet me. It was a bit embarrassing, having to walk out - people at other tables could clearly hear the conversation I was having with the guy (waiter or barman) behind the bar.

I definitely won't be back...and while I'm at it, the steak is overpriced and too small.

  I had a phenomenal dinner here. The food was excellent, as was the service. I was dining alone but there were couples as well as larger groups. The restaurant is... read more very comfortable. I highly recommend it.

  Great food and service - Amazing food, great service. Specially Colm who very friendly and professional! Thank you so much for a lovely evening

  Fabulous menu in city centre location meat, fish, veggie - something for everyone at a reasonable price. + Lovely staff, comfortable seating. - No parking, music too loud.

  After a long awaited and needed night in a nice restraunt we booked into The Brasserie (known as Blakes locally).

They had a great variety of food on the... read more menu and the premises are extremely well decorated with such a beautiful ambiance.

We both had the sirloin steak and it is one of the nicest steaks I've eaten. I ordered mine to be medium/pink and it was still a little under done for me. I was still okay to eat it and it was just as nice as to my preference for a more well done steak. The onion rings are a delicious combo to have with it.

I went for the garlic butter and my partner had the pepper whiskey sauce, slightly a little watery but tasted delicious.

I ordered from the wine menu and went with the staffs choice. It was quiet a nice wine and the selection on the menu was brilliant.

Usually we only have dinner as we do be too full for dessert but the mains was that good we chose dessert too.

Both of us went for the creme brulee and it was that good I'll be back again just for that.

The staff could not do enough for us and where so warm and welcoming. We enjoyed chatting away with them.

For a nice night out or a special occasion, here is worth a visit.

  Our group ate here one evening. The food was delicious---served hot and fresh, and it was beautifully presented! Sometimes meals for groups can be a bit dull---this was not the... read more case at all! I would absolutely eat here again without hesitation.
Delicious--no wonder they have so many awards!

  Food was lovely ..hot and plenty of it .was asked many times if we needed any thing more Staff friendly and helpful Place was spotless

  Just found the restaurant on google, nice old world charm place, very good food with a nice glass of red wine for late lunch "yummy"

  My wife and I had dinner tonight at Blake’s. Make this a must stop for dinner when in Galway. She had the tempura fish and I had the sirloin. The... read more meat was perfect. The root veggies were really good and the big onion rings were also very good. Ask for the peppercorn sauce with this meal, it’s so good you could drink it with a straw. The fish and chips was also very good, according to my wife.
Service was right on time too. Christoper and Evan(?sorry I didn’t catch). Very strong dialects in this area, which we love.
And, as every good bar in Ireland the Guinness was perfect and poured perfect.
Perfect dining experience. Thank you

  The brasserie in galway is my favourite place to go, the food is great yes but it’s the staff that are the highlight of the place. Aoife is superb at... read more her job, she is so helpful and knowledgeable. She is the friendliest person and always...makes a visit to the brasserie one to remember 🙂 I can easily say I would not go as often if it wasn’t for her! The twins are also superb! More

  From the moment we came into this fabulous Restaurant we knew we were in for a treat, it was warm, spacious,very clean and the gentleman greeted us was very nice.... read more Well where do I start,I had the Sirloin steak (cooked to absolute perfection) and my Mum had the Seatrout and chips and to finish off we both had the Vanilla Creme Brúlee, absolutely out of this world! Staff were so friendly too. We will definitely be back.

  Excellent night all round, from the food, to the staff and the setting.
Enjoyed a lovely roast chicken with garlic potato gratin on the side. Very tasty. Chocolate brownie... read more for desert w/ice cream was a lovely way to finish off the evening. Guinness from the bar at the front of the premises is very tasty too. Staff and service was excellent. Highly recommend if you're thinking of a nice meal in a cosy setting all at a reasonable price too.

  Food and drink were all fine and one could not complain about those but towards the end of our dining the table next to ours was cleaned down and whatever... read more was used had us all coughing. It’s now the morning after and I’m still feeling the effects of this on my throat. My two friends felt the very same.
Definitely this product needs to be changed for something milder.

  Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, tasty food - Mussels were very tasty, my salad was fresh and

  We had one of our best dinners in this fine restaurant. From start to finish the service, food, drinks and ambience was perfect. I had mussels and my wife had... read more the scallops for starters both excellent. . For mains we had monk fish and have both cooked to perfection.
No room for desert but I had a cocktail to finish.
We will be back and if in Galway make sure to dine here.

  Booked a table for our first night of our "staycation" this evening. We could not have been happier with everything. The food was amazing, I had Mussels (starter portion -... read more which was advised by our server) and rightly so the portion was huge - they were the freshest, nicest mussels I've ever had. My boyfriend had the fillet steak which just melted in the mouth. Not only was the food amazing, but so was the service. The staff were wonderfully friendly and very attentive, our server was such a lovely girl she was super friendly and made us feel very welcomed and comfortable. The ambience with the dimmed lighting was perfect for a nice meal, and they played great music too.

Will definitely return when we're next in Galway.

  Last Saturday evening we had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant. Its rare I take time to write a review but the staff here have to be commented.i had... read more such a feeling of elation leaving there which nowadays is a rarity.The 2 twins and Aoife are a credit to you and need to be minded in cotton wool as the efficiency and goodwill plus life stories make you feel we knew them all our lives.To the bar men who we met on been ushered from the restaurant to the bar I enjoyed the homely feel.Finally Well done on a lovely meal.If there is another place in Galway that makes magic with food let me know.regards Martin.

  My family and I are here for my sisters post graduation celebration and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We had a wide array of what’s on... read more offer and every last bite was delicious. Great selection of wines and cocktails on offer to wash it all down with and the value for money was unbelievable. All this was matched by the friendly and professional service of Rachel who took wonderful care of us. Will definitely recommend to all going to Galway and can’t wait to come back. Thanks again for looking after us!

  Thoroughly enjoyed Brasserie. Excellent menu (steaks, seafood, chicken, pasta, oysters, salads, sandwiches, dessert) to choose from.

I would definitely return

  My wife and I went to Galway for a few days to celebrate our 40th. wedding anniversary. We made bookings for meals and one of them was with Brasserie On... read more The Corner.

The staff and facilities are good, but on this occasion, the food was a huge disappointment.

I went for Goat’s Cheese for starters and Fillet Steak for main. The steak was quite small (given the price of €36.95) but was cooked as requested.

My wife had Soup Of The Day, which was nice. For her main, she opted for Monkfish. The Monkfish was inedible. It was tough, and hard to cut.
My wife complained to the manager about the Monkfish and they agreed with her and offered her Hake instead. She refused, as she had “completely lost her appetite” by that stage.

The restaurant did not charge for my wife’s Monkfish.

Definitely won’t be back.

Our general view is that it is nice surroundings, but overpriced.

  We visited this restaurant on our last night in Galway for a romantic meal as we had seen it had such good reviews. The restaurant seemed to have more of... read more a pub vibe but that didn’t bother us too much. I enjoyed my meal and the portion size was just enough but my partner ordered steak which was cooked rare rather than medium. He wasn’t overly bothered about this as it was still edible but it would’ve been nice to have it cooked how he asked. The menu is quite limited to options, don’t know if I would go back here if ever visiting again but what food they had available was very nice.

  Very pleasant staff. Its casual dining at its best. Part of a pub. The chef knows about food and gives a twist to traditional dishes. We enjoyed all courses.
The... read more helpings are very generous,

  It was my birthday and looking at the reviews we picked this restaurant. The food was excellent. The problem we ran into was the waitress was obviously new and she... read more definitely had problems. She never came back to check on us. My brother-in-law went to speak to the manager. He made sure everything was taken care of and made sure she had some assistance. He took care of everything and thats all one could ask for. We would definitely go back. Because we left satisfied that's why I gave it 5 stars. It was a Friday night and quite busyI would definitely get reservations .

  Walked in off the street with no booking and were lucky enough to get a seat. Covid certs were checked and we were seated at a nice table. Waiting staff... read more very pleasant. Food was some of the best we have had this year. I had...the slow cooked lamb which fell apart with just a fork, incredible flavour. Would highly recommend. More

  Patricia & Lorcan - We took a long time to choose a restaurant and our research was well worth it.
Food & service were excellent. I had mussels and monkfish and my other half... read more had goat's cheese & lamb. All very very good. We were looked after by Colum & Laura who couldn't have been nicer. And a special shout out to the barman who mixed a great Tommy's Margerita even though he hadn't done one before. We will be back.

  Not impressed. Whilst we had a reservation for 1pm we arrived about 15 minutes late. The Manager didn’t comment when he took my name but just directed us to a... read more bar table. It was draughty and cool. Not the restaurant I was expecting. Service was extremely slow. The mains of chicken and plaice were very unimpressive whilst the lamb shoulder was ok. The sides were miserly and very so so. (I wonder if we even got what was due?). The staff were generally nice. During the meal I received an email to say that my reservation had been cancelled, I assume as we were considered a “no show!” I mentioned this to the manager who brusquely informed me that my table had been given away because we were late. The place was not overly busy and I think that out of basic courtesy we should have been told when being seated that we wouldn’t be getting a seat in the restaurant. We would have taken our business elsewhere at this stage!
Overall a bitter disappointment for a birthday treat.

  Recommend to a have a nice brunch with family/friends at lunch time as later is too busy.
Great food, staff and service.

  Early evening meal on a Friday and a real treat. The food was first class, the setting really comfortable, and the service friendly and professional. The mojitos were a great... read more way to finish off. Great steaks, great seafood and imaginative vegetarian options. I wouldn’t hesitate to return the next time I’m in Galway.

  Food was excellent and service was great. Our waiter Aisling was so lovely and made the trip more enjoyable. Would definitely recommend this place

  First meal out since lockdown. Well worth it!!
Got the prawns to start and the 10oz steak *medium was 10/10.
Staff were very friendly. Will definitely be back!

  Restarted trip advisor just to leave this review, booked an evening meal a few days in advance. Lovely friendly booking service, our waitress Aoife was perfect from start to finish.... read more Ann-Marie the manager ( I believe ) was friendly but not intrusive. Recommendations were excellent. Wine list good but could use a high end selection, Pomerol was excellent. Food was top class, mussels and the evening special of Scallops cooked to perfection, if a little heavy on the peas and purée. Main courses of Monkfish and Fillet Steak were cooked and served to perfection. Creme brûlée dessert comes highly recommended, finished a little under done but no complaints at all, crisped well. Irish Coffees and a drink after were well accommodated during these trying times.

Highly recommend and will visit again.

  We just happened to arrive in Galway the day the restaurants opened inside.... what luck! Especially as the weather had been amazing and then turned to rain!

From the... read more moment we walked in the staff were so friendly and attentive! Especially our waitress Aoife!
It was my 40th birthday and they brought us a complimentary glass of prosecco... the food was amazing!
We had mussels and ravioli to start followed by beef Wellington. Couldn't resist a wee cheeky desert to share. We had the creme brulee yummy!

Highly recommend this place and if we ever are back in Galway would 100 percent return!

  Excellent service and the food was fantastic! Also really reasonable prices if you go for the pre theatre menu. Look forward to my next visit

  To Gianpaolo and the staff at the Brasserie on the Corner

Just a quick message to thank you so much for a lovely meal last Saturday that myself and... read more family thoroughly enjoyed.

The food was lovely, the choice on the pre-theatre menu was excellent and the birthday cake was a lovely addition. The atmosphere was great. We didn’t know what to expect and all 11 of us agree it was very pleasant.

Thank you to all your staff who whilst they were all very busy on Saturday, we never felt that we were not being attended to. Each member of staff hasd a welcoming smile, always asked how we were getting on after they served us and added to the atmosphere with their jovial conversation.

Well done and thank you to all.

  Extremely tasty food, excellent beer and tbeautiful interior.
Had to wait for a vacant table for some time, but waiting at the bar was more than pleasant!

  Went to lunch here last week- poor choice of food and very bland. Also expensive for what we got. lastly no matter where you sit the staff ask you to... read more sit somewhere else!

  We walked in without a reservation and they were very accommodating.Fish was delicious and the wine was good too. The chowder had way too much cream though. Service was fast... read more and friendly. Nothing memorable but lovely food and good value altogether I recommend it.

  Visiting from England, we were looking for somewhere for Sunday lunch to celebrate my son’s first birthday. We could not have chosen better. The Sunday lunches were outstanding- I had... read more chicken and my partner had lamb. Both meats were tender and arrived thoughtfully presented with either a selected of roasted root vegetables or a delicious vegetable purée. The mashed potatoes were rich and smooth and my partner’s roast potatoes were crispy on the outside and perfectly fluffy inside.
The staff were extremely attentive without being intrusive, serving bread as an appetiser and bringing more drinks as required.
For two adult Sunday roasts (shared with a hungry toddler!) plus Guinnesses, the bill came to just less than €50.

  Had such a lovely experience here last night! The food was fantastic and the staff were all so lovely. Our waitress was super friendly and accommodating- Would definitely come back... read more here the next time we are in Galway!

  Great bartenders, delicious food, 14 beers on tap and bottles galore. Atmosphere is exceptional. The bar has little cubby holes for small groups of 2 or 3. Would come back in a second.
