Best Restaurant on Way to Galway

fighterman

Driving to Galway tomorrow and looking for a pub/restaurant to stop at on way up from Cork. Somewhere on outskirts of city.

Outskirts is Oranmore, a few nice places there. Keanes for one.

But tbh, you should ask in Limerick, it's halfway and a nice stop before you do the last bit.

BhoscaCapall

Hoped this thread would be about a Nandos opening up

Cerulean Chicken

There's Paddy Burke's and Claire's Tearooms in Clarinbridge.

Pearlamara in Oranmore. At the 2nd roundabout take the first left and its on the right at the bottom of the hill.

Rafterys Rest in Kilcolgan. Good food, good service and value for money.

It's a two and a half hour drive...why don't you just eat before you leave?

as you said it a 2 and half hour journey. (id say 2hours 45 if your keeping to the speed limit)
maybe if the leave cork at 3pm it would be to early for dinner whereas in galway could be well after 5.

i always see a big sign for a place in gort, just after you get of the motor way. well priced, never ate there though but heard good things.

could be o'grady's

I'd recommend Paddy Burke's in Clarinbridge. Lovely grub.

Every time I am up that way I enjoy the food in Jack B Yeat's Bar, in the Lady Gregory Hotel in Gort. Just delicious

Oranmore to Bishopstown is two and a half hours, inside the speed limit because carrying three children in back of car, do it every few weeks

Op also said on the way up to Galway, not in Galway.

I would definitely recommend stopping off at The Gallery in Gort. The food is fantastic. Couldn't heap enough praise on the place

Thanks folks, didn't get to see a lot of these replies.

In the end I stopped in The Creamery in Bunratty. Thumbs up, exactly what I needed.

Not the outskirts as I had initially said.

Thanks again
