Where to Eat
Galway's culinary options are decidedly less global than those in cosmopolitan Dublin. The
upside, though, is that it's much easier to find real, authentic Irish cuisine. Of course, the
Saturday Market (see previous page) is a great option on weekends, and definitely more
lively than an ordinary restaurant! But Galway also has plenty of restaurants serving a vari-
ety of Irish favorites:
Oscar's Restaurant (Upper Dominick St.)
Unassuming little place, but it packs in a lot of flavor. Particularly well known for its local
seafood, Oscar's offers a piled-high seafood platter that's great for sharing.
Lohans (Upper Salthill)
One of the more traditional restaurants in Galway. Serves local favorites such as Guinness
stew, bacon & cabbage, and of course plenty of sausage and mashed potatoes.
McDonagh's Seafood (22 Quay St.)
You want great fish & chips, and you don't want to pay too much for it. You go to McDon-
agh's.
The Galleon (Monksfield Rd., Salthill)
The best burger in Ireland. Tender and juicy, made with high-quality Irish beef and served to
order with a selection of toppings. OK, the hamburger is maybe not the most traditional of
Irish foods, but it's quite popular on the island, and no one does it better than the Galleon.
This small restaurant also serves a pretty diverse menu of Irish, American, and internation-
al dishes. For the most Irish experience, put the chef in charge by ordering a mixed grill or
seafood platter.
