Restaurants and Coffee Shops

There are several restaurants in Tuam and a couple in Claregalway. Most restaurant will close by 9 pm. Some are open 7 days a week but smaller local restaurants are only open Thursday til Sunday.

For local restaurants, I would highly recommend either of the following, however, these are only open only open from Thursday till Sunday.

  • Gather: High St, Tuam, Co. Galway (093) 27739
  • The Abbey Lydon's of Knockdoe, Claregalway, Co. Galway (091) 797 666

There are several other options, open 7 days a week.

  • The Ard Rí House Hotel - Popular for it's carvery lunch on Sundays.
  • The Arches - Good offers on children's meals.
  • The Westwing - A large restaurant, suitable for a quick and convenient stop off but not an intimate night out


If you are heading into Galway, then my personal favourites would be:

  • McSwiggans Restaurant - Traditional Irish and world cuisine
  • John Keogh’s The Lock Keeper - Grasto Pub
  • Finnigans - Casual Dining at reasonable prices.
  • Dough Bros - Wood Fired Pizza Have a van in one of Galway's busiest pubs, O'Connell's. You order your pizza and they give you a pager. You can then sit in the pub and they will page you when it is time to collect your food. Open Friday, Saturday and Sunday


I have inserted Google place links for each of the above options below.

These are just my own choices, however, there are plenty more to choose from.

Wherever you choose, we hope you enjoy!
