About Us

  We booked this restaurant on line 3 weeks ago as it was Saturday 14th December close to Xmas and we knew the restaurants in Galway would be busy. We were... read more a party of 8 who had traveled from England to Watch Gloucester Rugby play Connaught. The only times we could get was 9.15 pm which is a little bit late for us but as most of the restaurants were full, we gladly excepted the booking. Aren't we glad we did. We were welcomed into the restaurant by the host who was very friendly even though the restaurant was very busy. The Barman was brilliant and poured our drinks whilst we waited for our table. Once seated we were entertained by the waitress who extremely charming. We ordered the food and drinks which came without a long wait as it was very busy. None of us had a starter as it quite late but I really fancied the crab. The Mains and Deserts were Excellent and the menu was quite varied. The Brasserie on the Corner (Blakes) deserves the 5 star Excellent rating we gave it, all 8 of us can thoroughly Recommend it. Well Done Brilliant!!!

  We were booked in today at 6pm
OMG this place is fantastic
Great food specially LAMB
fantastic atmosphere
Staff is doing their best
HIGHLY recommend

  One of our best meals in Ireland, the steak was well prepared. You choose your cut of beef, whether you want the chef to grill it or cook it yourself... read more on a stone, the level of heat or doneness, and the sauce you would like. My husband got the pepper sauce which was great, and I got the red wine sauce which was also good.

  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.

  Nice spot food was lovely handy location. A bit pricey went for anniversary as a treat. Staff were lovely

  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

  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!

  This restaurant was a great find and it was a really great experience in these Covid times ...we as a table of four felt very comfortable and safe. The Brasserie... read more is warm and welcoming with lovely lighting . Staff sevond to none a shout out to "the twins" a really asset to the restaurant as they have great personalities..
As for the food just delicious and presentation was stuff of a good cookbook...

  What a lovely night we had on Saturday 14th December. The food was amazing, the staff were friendly and attentive and there was a great atmosphere. Sometimes Christmas party nite... read more can be hit or miss but this was not the case in Brasserie On the Corner. Highly recommend this restaurant.

  There were four of and three of us were very pleased with our food. One had vegetarian (lentil sausage) which was very bland and lacked taste.

The service was... read more very good and friendly.

I had been there several times and would certainly return.

I also thought the prices were quite reasonable ( by Irish standards)

  Always come here for special occasions and have never been disappointed! Food is delicious and always perfect, every staff member is as friendly as the next and super helpful! The... read more atmosphere is really lovely too. Definitely recommend coming here if your looking for a comfortable, cosy and classy meal!

  Beautiful food and wine sitting in the window watching the world go by.. couldn’t recommend enough.. very friendly staff..

  Saw this restaurant while on a hop on hop off bus tour and had to make our way back for lunch. It did not disappoint. We started with a seafood... read more board... yum. Then on to the main courses. All of which I wouldn’t hesitate to eat again. But the thing I’ll dream about... the sticky toffee pudding. Best I have ever eaten. Period. If you go you have to try it.

  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!

  Booked dinner here last night for three friends and hadn't been here in a couple of years and the service and standard of food is still top class in Galway.... read more We had a lovely table near the window, there was plenty of social distancing between tables and their new lay out is lovely. The service should be applauded and management and the team should be proud, they are very attentive and check on you through out your meal and are so friendly. The manager who has been there for a long time runs a tight ship and it is clear when there is not a single thing you could or should fault this restaurant on.
The food then also is fantastic- we all ordered three Fillet Steaks, mine was a little more pink to what I would like- No fault of the kitchen but of me because I am only learning to be brave enough to not order a steak that is not well done- they brought it back for me and cooked it a little more- out of this world- chips delicious and a fabulous selection of sauces to choose from.
Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable meal and we will be back again soon to treat ourselves to a nice dinner.

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

  Had the most amazing meal to finish off 2019.the steak was just out of this world. And the friendly staff just topped it off. Can't rate the experience highly enough.

  This is a restaurant well away from the more touristy areas such as Quay Street. The food is excellent. They do bar food during the day and more formal food... read more service in the evening. They had an extenive a-la-carte menu and also a set pre-theatre menu(E23.50 for two courses) which is good value. The two of us shared a starter and desert and had different main course - it was plenty food and very tasty.

  Busy restaurant but excellent service and a first class food from an extensive menu and wine list . Good value for money.

  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!

  A group of us came for lunch and all really enjoyed our food. The fish and chips were GF and tasted amazing. Highly recommended, especially as I don't get to... read more eat fish and chips often. The rest of the group were happy with their dishes...More

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

  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.

  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

  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.

  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!

  Nice food, nice people, nice beer. Try the Galway IPA beer. It’s really wonderful. The steak was really amazing and the people were nice. I suggest to taste the seafood... read more board, really tasty

  Booked a table for 8pm, even though when we arrived early we were seated immediately by a very friendly waitress, possibly a manager. We ordered a bottle of wine which... read more was brought to us directly. The menu was small but a great variety to suit everyone’s needs. We had the crock of mussels & the goats cheese to start. Loved the homemade breads especially to mop up to sauce with the mussels!!! We also had the hake & the steak, all fabulous,!! We shared a crime brûlée, my favourite dessert. From the welcome, cosy atmosphere to the prices I would highly recommend, thanks

  My partner and I had a late lunch here on the 15th of March. The restaurant was relatively quiet which was to be expected due to the upcoming pandemic. The... read more manager came to our table to take our order. I've never been served by someone so rude. She was rushed and when we asked her a question regarding the menu she raised her voice giving us an abrupt unhelpful answer and exhaled loudly shaking her head. When we asked to see another menu she threw it on our table instead of placing it down. No eye contact, manners or even a smile. It made us feel terrible. Thought it was her manner but then heard her speak to the next table that were seated and she was so nice to them. Once we had paid our bill I asked to speak to the manager and she seemed shocked to hear we had such a bad experience with her. She said all she can say is sorry and it was probably to do with it being the time of day we arrived as that is the change over time. There is no excuse for the behavior towards a customer. Will never be eating here again.

  Every time we come to Galway we go here for dinner one night. The service is always excellent & the food is incredible, the steak in particular

  Just home from a lovely dinner in the brasserie tonight. Starters, main and desert exceeded expectations. Wine and mocktail lovely also. Have to mention our waitress aoife h. So pleasant... read more and friendly and all her recommendations proved wonderful. She even helped us with baby naming

  Couldn't believe how good this place was. We were greeted warmly by the staff and they were all very friendly and helpful
The menu had a great selection and along... read more with the specials it was very hard to choose
My husband was chuffed with his seafood chowder and duck. I couldn't fault the tempura prawns and the chicken was delicious.
I was unable to manage a dessert but my husband did full justice to the peanut butter parfait. However I can thoroughly recommend the Irish coffee here. Superb
The only draw back was the food arrived a little too quick barely giving us time to savour the food before the next course arrived
A lovely friendly place and definitely a place to return to

  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.

  5 star all the way for service, atmosphere and food. Out with my wife on a rare date night on what was a very busy Arts Festival evening. The staff... read more could not have been more accommodating.

We had the bar menu as we hadnt booked the restaurant but steaks were an option which is the signature meal of Brasserie We were not let down as the two steaks were cooked to perfection (medium well and well done). Drinks were fresh and the bar staff very friendly. One female staff member in particular who was operating the table service was an absolute pleasure and took great pride in her job.

Looking forward to the next date night!

  Anytime we visit Galway we always stop here for dining as we can never fault the food or service and it’s the reason we keep coming back. This visit was... read more no different even with covid restrictions and protocols we didn’t feel it impacted our visit . We booked a couple weeks in advance as with it being Christmas week we new it would be hard sourced . Emer who took the booking was a pleasure to deal with and explain the protocols and time limit we had , our friends also booked and they had the same thing to say . While we couldn’t sit together Emer was happy to place them close to us while maintaining a safe distance.
Food was incredible that night the steaks top class , cauliflower curry full of flavour and the brownie for desert really ended the meal on a high. Even our friends on the next table couldn’t fault a thing so much so they rebooked the next day again for an early sitting . We were served by the wonderful Aoife H that night who couldn’t be more helpful when explaining the menu wine and serving us through the evening. Even with the uncertainty and announcement of a third lockdown she was extremely professional and didn’t let the news impact her service . She also served our friends again the next day and was still as friendly as ever .
Our friends have found a new favourite in Galway and no doubt will be all back when we can.
Stay safe the Walshe’s and Kelly’s
