Fine Dining in Galway

[Fey!]

Where would you choose to eat out in Galway?

Discovered a new reatauraunt on Dominic Street a few weeks ago called Abalone, where the policy is "you don't leave hungry"! Not the cheapest, but your dinner comes with veg (something that has been p1ssing me off for years, the fact that you have to pay a veg supplement!), and there are nice touches like a duck liver pate before the starter, and a champagne sorbet between the starter and main course, both as part of the meal! Also, the bread is home made, and everything is cooked fresh.

I had the veal, which was the size of the plate; my mother had the lamb, which was mouth watering; my father had the steak, which was fantastic; and my g/f had the scallops, which were delicious, but another one or two would've been nice . None of had a starter, and none of us could fit dessert!

Main courses ran from €19 - €29, and the whole bill with a bottle of wine was about €125. Might sound expensive, but the food was top notch, the service was excellent, and the place was pristine clean. The pate and sorbet were the real finishing touches, though .

Can only recommend it highly. It's a small place (only 20 seats) and, unlike a lot of places, they haven't crammed in extra tables; they leave a bit of space, giving an airy feel and unhurried atmosphere to it .

Anyone else have other recommendations?

I've been back home in Galway for the last few weeks and everywhere I've gone out has been a huge disappointment...

I've heard that Park House is doing good food these days, also I was in the Spanish Arch drinking and all the food looked and smelled lovely so I'll be trying there.

On a lesser note - Brunch at the living room is quality. I only get the mini one and its served with wedges and toast and tea. Great value @ €7 or something like that, maybe €6 I cant remember. Their only downfall is they only serve black pudding and not white.... makes no sense!!??

I actually think Mac Swiggans foo is fantastic...although the pub is pure poo now...

Eastern Tandoori for good indian, and PanTai in Salthill - very good food, and a bit more unusual...

Oscars (Dominick Street) does great food, and has fantastic service - but is a little more expensive...

apart from that, I find that a lot of restaurants are pure rip-off these days...bad service, overpriced meals, poor quality...

Senorita Maria's (?) and Bob's Steakhouse both near Mixers are fine for cheap meal.

yeah steak house is meant to be savage uncle went there with his GF for valentines day he gave it the thumbs up

Oscars is top notch but expensive, but you have to try it. The last time I was there I was saying to myself "There is something I was supposed to remember from my last visit here". I forgot what it was until they brought out my starter.........it was huge. Thats what I forgot -> skip the starter if you want to finish your main course. The Main Course comes on a huge plate like the sort of one you would see a whole Xmas Turkey served on.
I think I will start making hints to my misses to bring me there for me B'day
