Pier House Guest House
Sitting on the large terrace watching the ferries come and go while grazing your way through a platter of local seafood is one of the island's joys. There's a fireplace inside for when it blows.

Quays
This sprawling pub does a roaring business downstairs in its restaurant, which has hearty carvery lunches and more ambitious mains at night. The cold seafood platter is simply a symphony of the bounty from Galway Bay. Students on dates and out celebrating get rowdier as the pints and hours pass.

Tig Congaile
Not far from the pier, Guatemalan-born Vilma Conneely adds unexpected diversity to the local dining scene, making the most of limited local ingredients. She does a fine sea vegetable soup and her vegetable-and-herb quiche is wonderful.

Ard Bia at Nimmo's
In Irish, Ard Bia means 'High Food', and that's somewhat apt, given its location in the 18th-century customs house near the Spanish Arch. Local seafood and organic produce feature on the seasonal menu in a setting that defines funky chic. The cafe is a perfect place for a coffee and carrot cake.

Druid Lane Restaurant
Signature main courses at this intimate restaurant include saddle of rabbit, and roasted duck breast. And while starters such as Thai fish cakes with lemon-grass dip have an international flavour, homemade desserts such as Baileys bread-and-butter pudding are as Irish as it gets.

Finnegan’s
Organic, schmorganic. A haven for the masses, Finnegan’s warms the soul with timeless comfort food like homemade shepherd’s pie. Look for trad standards like Irish stew, roast chicken and all-day Irish breakfasts. Rub elbows with your bus driver and find out the tricks of the trade.

Kirwan's Lane Restaurant
Happily hidden on a tiny square within steps of several busy streets, Kirwan's is not only a refuge but also a heaven for those seeking out the best of local cuisine. The menu proudly lists the provenance of the ingredients used in a variety of creative dishes. On sunny days, get a patio table at lunch.
