Drimcong House
|
Moycullen, Co. Galway (Map
west - D11)
Phone: +353 (0)91 555115
Price:
Moderate
Opening Times: Open evenings Tues - Sat
This is the best restaurant in Ireland (in our opinion). Drimcong House is in its own grounds just outside Moycullen, close enough to drive from Galway. Run by the hospitable Galvin family, they organically grow on the land much of the produce for the kitchen, the food is excellent in a modern-Irish style, and reasonably-priced for this standard. Good vegetarian and young-peoples options. We heard a rumour they might retire soon, so do phone in advance.

Price:
Expensive
Opening Times: Open for dinner daily, Easter - Oct.
This is a really marvellous restaurant (and hotel) located on a remote headland where seals laze around on the rocks and the only sound is of singing larks. The food is superb; there’s also a Menu Degustation for those who really want to indulge.
