    Stew in garveys looks good. Never had it though.

    Chowder, the fisherman in the galway shopping centre is delicious!!

    They can make colcannon themselves sure. Easy as pie.

    Would you not just take them somewhere good rather than somewhere doing gimmicky Oirish food a la Riordans. Tribeton do a great chowder. Fisherman too as has been mentioned but they are takeaway really.

    Probably should have worded that better actually. Not looking for gimmicky stuff. Looking for good examples of these kinda dishes

    For a real old timey irish restarant experience i'd recommend Cooke's or McSwiggans. Haven't been in a while but Busker Browns always has a good variety for good value and used to do a damned fine stew.

    Moran's Oyster Cottage or Monks in Ballyvaughan are quintessential Irish experiences for our visitors (Guinness, mussels, brown bread). Padraicins in Furbo is another safe bet for tasty chowder with a view.

    Don't forget to take them out for a few pints followed by a traditional doner kebab or garlic cheese chips. Follow that up with a breakfast roll in the morning and their culinary adventure will be complete (shortly followed by death by gastric misadventure).
