GALWAY ARMS MILLSTREET nothing more to say

Lynch's Cafe, Shop Street is my favourite. They sell Colleran's pudding which is very tasty and it is not expensive.

Yummmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Hey some mates coming to Galway for a weekend and they are wondering about a few thinks, since I used to be a student and now dont drink I haven't got much experience of recovery fry ups in town. Any recommendations?

The Trappers Inn on the Tuam road makes a beast of a fry up , you can also get omelettes in there with whatever you want inside them - my personal fav being bacon, sausage & tomato!

In town itself i liked Finnegans (across the road from City Tribune) , huge portions in there so you wouldnt leave hungry anyway.

Ficheall

Homeplate.

Wouldnt go near Finnegans or its sister restaurant Riordans, serving up manky 'Irish' food to tourists. Had bad food in both on more than one occasion and will never be back.
Kellys on Bridge St is good, Revive Cafe on Eyre St do great breakfast options from Scrambled Egg with Bacon and cheese, Frys, Breakfast Ciabatta etc.

Hyperbullet

The big breakfast in The Cellar. Delicious.

Shanley

City centre the Galway Arms on Dominick St would be my suggestion

Has to be Feeneys in Salthill also

chickenbutt

Finnegans, hands down.

stevecrow74

homeplate, the cellar bar, jalapenos or freeney's cafe out in salthill

B00MSTICK

I'd go Trappers Inn or the Homeplate if ye're in town already.

Whatever you do,do not go to Finnegans, please you will only waste your money. Its muck, i hate how they serve up tasteless 'Irish' slop to tourists and thats how we come across.

Everyone, please feel free to mention good places but keep the negative comments for some other site.

Fair enough but its just an opinion.

barone

shouldnt you be able to warn others of bad service/ food also ?

without slandering the place like,seems only fair to me.

anyway, i was in table talk earlier today.. after singing its praises earlier on the thread i can say today it was rank,

7.95 tho and you get plenty, the beans were hard and rashers undercooked today

This is not directed at ben.schlomo nor anyone in particular, just a reflection after seeing this so many times in the forums.

The problem is that so many people slag a place for all kinds of reasons.
One bad review can mean others won't go there, even after whatever was wrong has been corrected.
It's too common for people to not have the guts to speak to the manager about a problem they may have.
Instead they go home and write the place down on internet forums.

How would you feel if your business was mentioned in this forum and some guy you never heard of was going on about how bad it was?

Remember that what you write here will last a long time. If someone googles the place in 5 years they'll read your comment here, but since then maybe the management/staff has changed once or twice.

And at the end of the day it's all opinions, the same place can get both bad and good reviews, then who should the reader trust?

Ok, that's my point of view as responsible for this forum.
If anyone wants to discuss it further then start a thread in feedback, thanks.

I too am a friends junkie, any time i am up in galway early, only thing on me mind is getting in for the fry up, would set any man rightly up for the day. Mouth is watering thinking about it.

biko

Yeah Frends ftw Also sometimes they have meatballs for lunch, fantastic meal.

Shlippery

Eh, its a bit outside the city..but I reckon ya get the best fry in the arches hotel in claregalway, a fiver gets you pot of tea, few slices of toast and pretty much self service all-you-can-eat fry..(doesnt charge by the item!!) absolute bargain...served until 12 every day

biko

Sounds like a good option if you're heading out of the city for a day.

Frends FTW. That was until I tried the Arches last weekend. Tae, toast, brown bread, 6 sausages, 3 rashers, 2 eggs, 3 hash browns, White pudding and beans. For a fiver! Couldn't finish it, everything was delicious bar the rashers which weren't great.

Trisha's down by the backdoor of the Eyre Square Shopping Centre can be quite nice too and pretty cheap.. €6.50.

Damn you. Damn you all. Now I seriously want a fry.

Trisha's seems to have gone now and is replaced by something else. Haven't been in yet but will post when I check the breakfast.

Its called Venice Cafe now.

BhoscaCapall

Massimos do a "Full irish" and a pint for €11.50 (pints can only be Guinness, Bulmers or Carlsberg)

Fry was okay but way too up its own hole. I love good food, I'd go as far as saying I'm quite 'cultured' when it comes to eating but a full irish is a full Irish and doesn't ever need to be pretentious. It was bout the size of a half/small breakfast in most other places, couple rashers, a sausage, 2 fried eggs on ciabatta (ffs), no beans iirc, 1 black pudding (no whjte) no mushrooms. Didn't even come with ketchup, so I asked and waited 10 minutes (had eaten most of it by now) before the silent waiter brought over the most ridiculous ketchup I've ever seen. It was in this minuscule little fancy bottle, about 4" tall, absolutely freezing cold, and not even ketchup! Some sort of homemade tomato sauce. Service was pretty poor too.

I get the impression the food offers they do on other days is probably very good so I will be back for that, but I would avoid this place for a breakfast. I guess if you actually fancy a pint with it then it's decent value. I was surprised there was no option for tea/coffee or anything though.
