FLAVORS OF THE WEST

Experience these storied streets one bite at a time during a food tour in Galway .

LITTLE LANE COFFEE SHOP. Operated by a husband-and-wife team, the main focus is specialty, sustainable, and traceable coffee roasted just outside of Galway City in Oughterard.

TRUFFLE CHOCOLATE SHOP. Also run a by-husband-and wife team, try decadent truffles or the raspberry croissant filled. The Burren truffle is infused with wild honey from the Burren with floral and citrus notes. All truffles are named after mountains and patisserie is crafted from Irish butter.

ÉAN. Helmed by Chef Enda McEvoy, this restaurant holds an Irish “bib gourmand.” Opt for the seasonally inspired chef specialty, such as heirloom tomatoes, radish, leek, and local mussels.

WA SUSHI. A vendor of the weekly farmers market, sample the tasty turnip sushi and smoked mackerel sushi.

MCCAMBRIDGES. One of the oldest shops in the city, taste a selection of Irish spirits, cheese, and charcuterie.

KINGS HEAD. An historic pub, the building dates back over 800 years. Try the pan-fried hake with baby potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and The Blood Red Ale, a house brew.

GALWAY CITY DISTILLERY. As the first Distillery in Galway City Centre, the main focus is a “taste of the West in a glass.” It forages all botanics locally to create signature tinctures and cocktails. An on-site pot still also produces in-house gin. Try the signature gin and tonic, personalized with a hand-crafted bitters.
