About Us

  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!

  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.

  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!

  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. More

  A Galway classic. Before and after the pandemic. Good atmosphere and excellent food. Meat and fish dishes equally good.

  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.

  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.

  I booked Brasserie on the Corner for a Birthday dinner last Thursday, 10th September. We were on a week's staycation from Cork and without doubt, it was the best meal... read more we had during the whole week. The service was second to none, we were looked after by the very efficient and bubbly Aoife, from Meath - thank you for such good service! The atmosphere and ambience was really wonderful and we had a lovely table with plenty of space between us and other diners. I would also like to give a special mention to Eimear, who when I accidentally rang the Brasserie instead of the Hotel we were staying in, looking for a recommendation for a hairdresser, promptly gave me her own hairdressers contact details. So not only can you phone and get a dinner reservation, but you can get recommendations for hairdressers too!!! Thank you Eimear for "going above and beyond" the normal call of duty. I cannot wait for my next visit to Galway, when we will definitely be returning.

  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!

  A warm equipment and a great staff/Service welcomes you at this wonderful restaurant.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  We had a pre-theatre dinner here before going to the Town Hall Theatre which is less than 5 minutes walk away. 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.

  Thoroughly enjoyed Brasserie. Excellent menu (steaks, seafood, chicken, pasta, oysters, salads, sandwiches, dessert) to choose from. Had a wonderful steak & my wife had the best scallops we've ever had.... read more Terrific wine selections as well as a full bar. Dessert was fantastic as was the Jameson Black we paired it with. With two sides of the house - Brasserie is great for those interested in getting a couple of drinks & others who are in the mood for a fine dining night. Service was the best we had in Galway!

  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!

  We had dinner last night. Staff were fantastic as usual but the food was very disappointing. We had the Carpaccio and the Crabcake for starter and they both were amazing.... read more I had the chicken for main and I thought it was very bland and even the sauce was bland. The chips were very greasey. My wife had the shoulder of lamb which she said it was lovely. For dessert we had the creme brulee which was awful. No flavour and even the sugar on top wasn't even crunchy. Why put ice cream on top of warm sugar is crazy. I'm only being critical because of the price we paid, if you charge so much than your food needs to back it up but unfortunately it let the restaurant down

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

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

  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.

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

  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.

  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.

  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.

  Been here many times and will no doubt be visiting again. The staff treat you like a personal friend, the food is always top notch, love the variety of choice... read more available, always a lovely roast dinner on the specials too which can be hard to find in the city.

I had Steak cooked to perfection and very tender it came with onion rings which were great. It also come with French fries which were cooked in old oil and tasted very greasy. Actually the fries really spoiled a good meal for me.

  We were staying in Galway and came across this restaurant. We were very pleased with the quality of food and service! We were served fresh bread to start. The restaurant... read more sources excellent wines, cocktails and spirits. I had the chicken with a beautiful stuffing, croquette and gratin potatoes. My boyfriend got a steak and mash with a whiskey peppercorn sauce which he gave a 10/10. For dessert we had creme bruleé. The staff were very friendly and attentive. This is the best restaurant that we ate at on our trip. I would highly recommend it!

  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.

  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.

  Loved the food in here and decor was lovely too!

We had steaks which were cooked to perfections with delicious sides!

  We came in here for a drink before an event in The Town Hall in Feb 2020 and glancing at the bar menu we promised ourselves we would come back... read more for a meal sometime soon. Then lockdown happened. It was the first place we went to when things opened up again, and we did the same after subsequent lockdowns. Most recently last Sunday. Every meal has been a delight and for Sunday lunch incredible value. Recommend their delicious mussels and I have always enjoyed the fish dish of the day which is accompanied by unique and delicious vegetables such as butter beans in a ragout with kale. Himself veers towards the lamb, or the beef, and has raved about his choices too with great and generous sides! Aside from the wonderful food we must commend the delightful staff who are warm and friendly with no false friendliness or pretentiousness. They are either super well trained or just born that way! Anyway we will continue to return, it is worth the train journey from Co. Clare!

  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.

  Ate here over the weekend...just had main courses...chicken and pork belly. Both were really tasty and well presented...cant fault the food but the service was the reason for 4 instead... read more of 5 stars. Service was mediocre...waited quite a while when we walked in for anyone to even acknowledge us. When seated we were given menus but again left too long before anyone came over. After clearing the table I said we would skip dessert but no one came with a bill so had to try and flag someone down ..eventually got the bill and again left waiting so we just went up and paid at the bar. Food, decor and ambiance was nice but service was a bit chaotic.

  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.

Thank you for letting us have this experience on a short booking notice.

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
