Hey there foodies! Are you looking for a culinary adventure in Ireland? Then make sure to add County Galway to your list! This beautiful county in the west of Ireland is a foodie's paradise, with an abundance of delicious dishes and hidden gems just waiting to be discovered.
Here are two of my top picks:
First up, we have Slow Roast Sandwiches and Coffee, located in Lough Rea. This bright yellow café may look unassuming from the outside, but don't let that fool you – the sandwiches here are out of this world! The young couple behind Slow Roast take their food seriously, mixing their own house special cheese blend and slow-roasting their ham for a full eight hours. The result? Mouth-watering toasties that are perfect for grabbing on the go. And let's not forget about the coffee – it's exceptional too! Slow Roast is a perfect choice for a quick and delicious bite to eat.
For something a little more special, I recommend checking out Lignum in Bullaun. This restaurant is one of the most exciting in Ireland, with a menu that changes constantly based on the seasons. Chef Danny Africano is a master of cooking everything over an open flame in the kitchen's wood-burning oven, creating dishes that are adventurous and experimental. The menu is so unpredictable that you won't even find a copy of it on their website – you'll just have to trust that whatever they're serving up on the day of your visit will be nothing short of amazing. Lignum is the place to be for an unforgettable Irish dining experience.
There you have it – two must-visit culinary destinations in County Galway. Whether you're looking for a quick bite or a special night out, these spots are sure to satisfy your taste buds.
