Amazing oysters and the fish pie was jam packed with decent pieces of salmon, smoked haddock and the mash was great.
Friends loved their fish and chips (I tried a bite and the batter was one of the best - so light and crisp!) and veggie chickpea burger.
The Palestine cola was really nice!

Amazing oysters! We enjoyed the fish pie. There were plenty of mussels in the stew but they had a slightly different flavor profile. We had a reservation in advance and it did get quite busy after our arrival. Service was wonderful ☀️

We ordered the Crispy Salt ‘n’ Pepper Squid, Ali’s Seafood Chowder (half portion), and the Monkfish Risotto – and every dish was nice.

The squid was a real highlight with well-seasoned batter with a light crispiness that didn't overpower the squid itself. The texture was spot on as it was tender, not rubbery or mushy, and very fresh-tasting. Honestly, I didn't know salt and pepper squid could be this good.

The seafood chowder was equally impressive – rich, flavourful, and balanced with 3 different types of fish. The monkfish risotto was good too.

If you're visiting Galway, this place is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended!

Great Place for a quality bite. We had a few items on the menu. Oysters are fresh and I suggest seafood soup. That really hit the spot.

Very tasty food! Best fish and chip we had so far! The oysters were delicious too! We didn't make reservation and were able to get a seat on a week night (earlier side, before dinner rush). Great experience overall.
