About Us

  We had a group of 18 pilgrims in Galway for three nights and visited The Brasserie on our last night. Everything about our dining experience was truly special. The service... read more was impeccable, the atmosphere was classy (and classic Irish) yet relaxed, and all three courses were delicious (in particular the 1st course mussels).

However, the highlight of the evening was the surprise Irish Coffee demonstration put on by Ulick. Ulick was absolutely fantastic as he told the history of the Irish Coffee and showed us how to make them. Very informative and entertaining. Not to mention the best Irish Coffee we ever had! If you get the chance, don't pass up a visit to this great establishment.

  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!

  Fantastic night all round, fantastic food and wine, steak was cooked perfectly. Superb service from Joey, who went out of his way and sorted a birthday plate for my... read more boyfriends birthday! The lady, maybe the manager? Was also lovely! Will definitely return the next time...we're in Galway! More

  Brasserie on the Corner is our absolute favourite restaurant to go to when we visit Galway. The quality, the ambience and the staff are phenomenal.

  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 .

  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.

  My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We shared mussels in a beautiful white wine cream sauce and smoked duck and duck spring roll starter. The mains were excellent-... read more fillet steak cooked by the chef to perfection, and the chicken from the a la carte which had the most amazing chorizo croquettes and mushroom sauce! Can recommend the NZ Sauvignon blanc! Service was impeccable, unfortunately did not get our main waitresses name- she had blonde hair and was extremely attentive. A massive thanks to Eimear for looking after us so well too! We will be back!

  We had an amazing meal at this restaurant. We shared appetizer and dessert and each had main course. Food was awesome and portions were big. Even with shared dishes we... read more were full at the end of the meal. We went for the set menu that...More

  Just outside all the hustle and bustle of the city centre we found this gem of a restaurant. It was early and they were able to accommodate us, but booking... read more for Thu/Fri/Sat/Sun is advisable. The service is friendly, the wine list is good and the atmosphere is relaxed.
The food is great - well prepared and plentiful. We ate a couple of different starters between us. The house soup was excellent. Portion size just about right for a starter. The mussels were fresh and cooked perfectly in a traditional white wine sauce.
Mains were their vegetarian special and the roast lamb. Both excelled in their own way. The lamb was well cooked and not fatty. It was prepared three different ways - all of which were spot on! The vegetarian option was great too. Artistically presented and well cooked. Neither of us was disappointed.

  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,

  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.

  Me and my husband always celebrate our birthdays together somewhere away. This time we decided to escape in Galway. My birthday was yesterday and my husband’s was today. We didn’t... read more book this place and just called in. The staff was very professional and friendly. While we were waiting for a table the bartender made me a lovely cocktail and my better half had a pint of Guinness. The food was absolutely unbelievable!!! We ordered carpaccio as a starter and Lamb as a main course, all cooked to perfection. We also got complimentary desert at the end. Place is clean and nicely designed. Special thanks to Aoife, Conor and Niamh. Guys you are the best! Xx

  We visited from Limerick after hearing lovely things about this restaurant, and from the minute we walked in we couldn’t have been happier! Even prior to visiting the lovely hostess... read more rang us to let us know that the table booked before us had cancelled & if we would like to come earlier it was no problem. The food was absolutely divine - particularly the chicken and potato gratin! The kind blonde haired waitress couldn’t have been more accommodating- she even dropped out a happy birthday plate for my boyfriends birthday. Really reasonably priced also! As a waitress myself in a very popular restaurant I know what good food and service is and this place exceeds every expectation. We can’t wait to return!

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

  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.

  Unbelievable food here, although it looks like just a regular pub from the road the interior is fantastic! The food and service is 5 star restaurant quality.
If you... read more are around here you need to drop in!!
Perfect steak and gorgeous lamb

  After a long day visiting the Cliffs of Moher, driving through the Burren, and dealing with a flat tire on the hired car, we were warmly welcomed with no reservation... read more and treated like family. Every single staff member we encountered was marvelous, from the hostess to the bartender to our waitress and additional servers who were very solicitous. The Irish Whiskey recommendation of Green Spot from the bartender hit the spot! The food was absolutely delicious. It was an absolutely perfect ending to our day in western Ireland!

  Went for dinner with my wife for our anniversary. I had the Pre Theater menu and my wife of course the Ribeye. Unreal. I thought I had lamb before, I... read more was wrong. This was simply amazing. Ask for a spoon for the most tender and flavoursome meat in the world.

  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.

  This place reminded us of a high end New York Steak House, with standard of service to match. The bar side is more informal but staff still top notch with... read more that perfect balance of friendliness and professionalism. We ate in the more formal restaurant adjoining and everything about our meal was as good as it gets

  Stunning food (steak was to die for and don’t even get me started on choc brownie!), delicious wine, gorgeous atmosphere and wonderful staff (especially our lovely server who was so... read more accommodating- he created a fine dining experience for us despite us having two small children with us). Thank you. Can’t wait to visit again!

  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

  Had a table for 26 for a leaving meal for team member. I cannot fault the service waiters were helpful and friendly. The food was spot on, the whole party... read more commented on the food. It was so good no one had space for dessert. If your in Galway go here you will not be disappointed

  Turned away lots of people. Crab salad starter was great. Mains venison & lamb very door. Nice atmosphere and service was very good. Expensive but worth it.

  Nice decor and good fare but the continuous loop of Hits from the 50’s and 60’s playing in the background and the Warsaw Pact customer service offered by their Eastern... read more European staff detract from what could be a great dining experience.

  Being newly diagnosed as coeliac I was apprehensive about eating out for the first time as a coeliac. Didnt want to be a "nuisance". I mentioned to the waitress that... read more I was coeliac and she told me virtually all the menu could be adapted to meet my needs. She was going to bring me some gluten free bread and without being prompted she knew my wife would need a seperate butter ramekin. My starter only needed slight modifying, it was chicken and chorizo terine, it was absolutely delicious. My main was a lovely steak with gluten free batter onion rings.
Thanks to all who work there, will definitely call again next time I am in Galway

  Picked this restaurant from the reviews. Walked in without a booking and seated straight away. Staff were very pleasant. We chose from the theatre menu which offered a 3... read more course meal for 27 euro. Had seafood chowder to start which was very good with plenty...More

  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.

  The food and service in this restaurant is second to none. The starters of mussels and goats cheese with a choice of in house brown bread were delicious and mains... read more of lamb and hake were both cooked to perfection. Sides of fresh vegetables and chips were piping hot. The staff were very friendly and have safe comfortable guidelines in place in the restaurant and bar during covid. Reasonably priced. Will be back again and soon

  From the reviews we expected something quite special, so we were a bit disappointed, although ‘average’ may be a bit harsh.
Large menu and large portions and the staff were... read more friendly and engaging but aspects of the food were disappointing.
Chowder was bland, under-seasoned and far too creamy, but the scallop starter was good.
Our sea trouts were well cooked and came with more than enough potato and vegetable accompaniments but we were recommended to order more potatoes and broccoli - which were then hardly touched. Overall that dish should have been simpler to get the full benefit of the sea trout.

  Had lunch here during the week with a friend. Would have to give an all-round 10 out of 10 for this experience.
The food was fabulous and the desert was... read more to die for. It was a Knickerbocker glory and we both agreed it was the best weve ever had.
Let's not forget the staff as they were friendly and extremely efficient. The chefs and those working in the kitchen are obviously amazing too.
Will definitely be back again. Well done to all who work here.

  Absolutely fantastic place. We tried to get a walk in table but couldn't as they were at full capacity (great sign!) so we booked a table for the following day... read more and it didn't disappoint. The service was impeccable and the food was amazing. Definitely one to have on your list when visiting Galway.

  First family lunch out in months due to covid. Food was beautiful and quality was amazing. Staff were so attentive and so lovely. Hygiene was impeccable, place is spotless. Highly... read more recommend.

  After staying overnight in jury's.... Not a good experience! We decided to go into town to eat and we found blakes brasserie and what a gem. Lovely homely place, extensive... read more menu and great service. We were looked after by Ulick and he couldn't have done more. He made us feel so welcome and the food was devine. Will definitely be back
Thanks for making our trip to Galway so much better.

  Very good service and the food was delicious no room for complaints ! The interior is nice and cozy though elegant we liked it.

  Excellent dinner meal with a wonderful bottle of wine too! The scallops were “melt in your mouth”. Steak perfectly done! But the best was the scalloped potatoes - OMG!

  Our group decided to give the Brasserie a go based on what we saw on Trip Advisor, and it appears that the positive reviews are on target. The first... read more impression was not the best, as they seemed unreasonably concerned as to whether there were sufficient...More

  I have been eating in this restaurant for years with my family’s as I am from Galway and I have never been disappointed. Great food and great staff.

  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.

  Ordered the roasted cauliflower which is clearly under the "comes with veg and potatoes" heading, so was very disappointed when it came with just a bowl of couscous. Who likes... read more couscous more than potatoes?! When asked about the promised potatoes was handed a bowl of potatoes but had to pay extra. The menu says everything but the cow steak comes with veg and potatoes, and makes it clear it comes with chips instead. So the menu needs updating to make it accurate/clear. Food and staff were nice but this left a disappointing and negative taste.

  Crab salad for starter small but delicious. First time I tried Monkfish and was good.
Was with a party of eight and everyone enjoyed there food. Service and staff... read more were excellent!!
Definitely recommend it!

  Fabulous supper. Prompt service. Tender scallops. Tasty halibut. Wife had veggie cauliflower steak. All good.
Nice atmosphere.
Must book: lots of turn-aways.

  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!

  The name of the place may have Brasserie in it but it definitely feels like a pub. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It is located on a side... read more street off the main drag so it’s quieter. We had the smoked salmon salad and a duck breast salad. It was very good and the service was great.

  The are many fine restaurants in Galway city but be sure to visit here - the food is to die for and the staff are so knowledgeable on the menu... read more and wine and have a genuine interest in chatting
