About Us

  Ate here recently for graduation meal. Food and service was excellent, despite being booked out. Steak was perfect!

  We had a table booked for 8pm and arrived a little early so had a drink in the bar which was nice. From the moment we got our table we... read more felt rushed. While the waiting were very efficent they were not overly friendly. My husband had the soup which he enjoyed but while he was eating his soup the waitress came over 3 or 4 times and looked into the bowl to see if he had finished we found this uncomfortable as we were trying to chat and had to keep stopping. He ordered the steak (28 euro) which was small and rubbery. He had trouble cutting it as it was tough. Certainly not worth the money. I had the platter while it was nice it was not anything special (20 euro) the smoked salmon was fine again nothing special. The prawns were tiny. The crackers were hard and pretty tasteless. And again the same waitress was looking into our plates every 10 seconds. Not what i was expecting at all overpriced and we left feeling disappointed rushed and still hungry.

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

The Brasserie is comfortable and has plenty of tables... read more - not obvious from the outside. Menu for pre- theatre was good with several choices of starter, main and dessert. Service very friendly and food tasty. I had sea bass and my husband had lamb shoulder which he enjoyed. Starter of goats cheese and beetroot was tasty although it was billed as having candied walnuts. We couldn’t see or taste any and on asking were told that some walnuts were grated over the dish. Good wine menu available.

Great food specially LAMB

  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.

  Fantastic night all round, fantastic food and wine, steak was cooked perfectly.

We are in the bar area and the menu was delightful, service was quick and the food was presented to a higher level... read more than normal, it’s not pub grub, it’s better. I had the 10oz steak which was cooked to perfection and my partner had the monkfish which was declared as amazing.

  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!

  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.

  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.

Thank you. Can’t wait to visit again!

  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.

  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.

  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

  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.

  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.

  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 .

  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.

  My partner and I ate here yesterday. I have been to the restaurant numerous times and have never been disappointed.

  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"

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!

Perfect steak and gorgeous lamb

  We visited this restaurant recently and can only say it was the worst meal I've ever had. I and my wife had salmon and it was pure tasteless, running with... read more water,no substance to it,It was just served with mashed potato which was also tasteless, cheap watery potatoes used.No vegetables at all. I contacted the manager the following day who was rather rude, I asked him to check this dish that day and he said he would call me to discuss, I've yet to hear back from him....Never again will I ever visit this very poor quality restaurant.

  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.
