We liked the look of this place as soon as we stepped in the door. Having had a very fine lunch in Oranmore, we limited ourselves to main courses and desserts, and of course a good bottle of wine. Rudi, the owner of The Boat House, recommended it and was upfront that he had worked there for many years. My... More

For my birthday I decided I would try kirwans lane after reading good reviews. We were greated by someone and taken to our table which was tiny table for 4, even though there were only 3 at my table. We were given time to read through our menu while our drinks( 2 processco and 3 glasses of wine) came to... More

Everything we tried was perfectly cooked, and tasted fabulous. The beautiful range of fish and shellfish, not to mention the staff and service, will continue to keep us coming back for more.

I have eaten here many times and it is always excellent. The menu offers something for everyone but it is a haven for fish lovers! The Caesar Salad and Lemon Tart are also the best in town. There is a nice cosy atmosphere and the service is always very good. I love coming to Kirwan's Lane!!

Kirwans was recommended by Ard Bia for our 2nd night in Galway. there are a few things to see in Galway, not much, but,, one should stop by for the food. Hidden in a little alley, that even the locals couldn't show us, is this seafood gem. Every morsel was made to perfection with creativity and love.

We were recommended this restaurant by a colleague. We had been to Galway many times but had not been to this restaurant. We received a warm welcome at reception and were brought upstairs to the restaurant. (There is a seafood bar at ground level serving the same food in a pub atmosphere) From the moment we sat down we enjoyed... More

The food here is superb, better than anywhere else I ate in Galway. The native oysters are amazing (if a little pricey!) but if you like seafood and want a special meal this is the place.

I enjoyed a very good meal here recently. The setting is lovely, service very good and the seafood was just delicious. While I felt the prawn cocktail was expensive for a starter, I think it was the best prawn cocktail I’ve ever had. I felt the meal overall was a little on the pricey side. I would prefer the setting... More
