H. F.

Fabulous food and they pay great attention to quality. Good value also. Great to see such a nice spot doing well in Craughwell. Handy parking about the place too. Food is always served very hot also. 5 stars

B. C.

Food is always excellent. I had the chorizo salad which was very tasty. The service is quick and staff are very friendly. Definitely a hidden gem in Co. Galway. 👏🥗😋

J. W.

The BEST seafood chowder and homemade brown bread! In fact everything we've eaten there has been amazing! The portions are big so make sure you are hungry!

M. D.

Got cajun chicken burger and homemade chips for takeout last night... firstly it was still surprisingly hot when it got home about 15 mins later... comes in really nice recyclable cardboard box that flattens out easily to a plate.. it was just divine... soooooooo messy to eat but fingerlicking good... even the chips were still quite warm and really really good. My daughter and husband both went for the chicken goujons and said they were fab. Theirs came with a real zingy garlic mayonnaise that I quickly pilfered for my chips... glorious. Great looking menu and really reasonably priced (€12.50 for the burger and chips I had). We will definitely be making it a regular for takeaway 😋.

C. P.

Was 6 of us. I had the BLT sandwich and the sweet potato fries, which was amazing. The food is really good and so worth every cent. Only bad thing was I had to call them to get service.

l. R.

As a local I eat here fairly regularly and am always happy with the food! Very tasty breakfast menu, lunch menu and main course dishes 😋

N. M.

Food lovely. But they make awful weak coffee at the counter and it tastes like hot milk with a sprinkle of coffee. Pity.

A. B.

Great food and coffee. Staff was nice too. Strongly recommend.

D. C.

Lovely food. Friendly staff.

L. M. K.

Food is fantastic here if a little pricey. You can phone in your order for collection. No problem parking when I've called to collect. Great variety on the menu... highly recommend the Seafood Chowder 😋 ... Enjoy! 🍽🍴🍽😀

We discovered this lovely cafe yesterday on our "staycation" around Galway. It is just off the road, to the right, as you travel throught Craughwell towards Loughrea. We had the best American pancakes I have eaten in a very long time. They come with bacon & maple syrup or fruit & yogurt and even better for me, they are gluten free. There were also some other great GF options on the impressive menu and we enjoyed great coffee in a lovely shaded area at the front. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the toilets clean and well maintained. Each table was provided with it's own sanitising gel. We were very impressed with this lovely cafe and highly recommended it.

C. F.

Excellent food & service. Staff very nice & food is quickly served.

S. B.

Quality coffee and food. Good selection on the menu. Also offers ice-cream. Friendly staff. Quick service. Take-away option available. Stays open quite late and open on weekends. Free parking available at the side of the building.

S. L.

Pancakes are to die for!! 😍 I got Nutella, and my friend got yogurt & Berry compote. Also got lovely banana smootie - Delicious... Really clean cafe, super friendly staff, good value for great quality. Will be back for a second visit, would recommend giving this place a try 👍

L. H.

Fabulous food brilliant staff

s. s.

Love this little cafe, the staff are friendly and the food is delicious! Something that I always consider about a place is consistency in the quality of their food and you always get it here, coffee is good too. Had the best sandwich I've tasted in a long time here last Saturday, it was a beef focaccia..only problem is it was a special, hope to see it on the board again.

E. W. H.

We were in Craughwell getting a fire door. Young man in Green Energy recommended Chef's Staff were friendly and efficient. Place was lovely and clean. Our food was delicious. Hubby had pulled beef brisket and l had Eggs Benedict minus the bacon. The eggs were poached perfectly. The sour dough bread was beautiful and the crust so crunchy. Unfortunately one wouldn't be ready for 20mins to buy. So we bought beautiful cakes to bring with us, a brownie and 2 lemon meringue. Reasonable priced at €3.75 each. Our visit left us feeling Chef's deserved 5 stars

Great set up, top notch staff and great tasty food, highly recommended

W. R.

Had a fantastic breakfast here today. The food was well cooked and very tasty. Excellent service from friendly staff. Really great to see a busy, quality cafe in a small village. I found a new favorite.

C. H. N.

My husband went to chef's cafe and raved about it but I must say I am a little disappointed. Don't get me wrong: my daughter ordered take away chips and a BLT which were delicious....but I got a superfood salad which had no quinoa...no avocado...I feel I paid a fortune for a bit of leaf and tomatoes...

P. L.

I'd heard a lot of good things, and they were correct. Really good food, homely, and very tasty. Only minus was the terrible, scrapey plates. Why restaurants use them I'll never know. When you barely touch the fork onto the plate, and the sound makes your teeth clench involuntarily...

J. M.

Tasty food. The chowder is perfect. Good coffee .

P. A.

Tasty delicious food and a contemporary yet cosy atmosphere with friendly and efficient staff. What's not to love about this fabulous restaurant tucked away in Craughwell. Varied menus for breakfast lunch and dinner. Absolutely loved it and will definitely return. Highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed.

L. g.

Chefs cafe is right in the heart of craughwell with plenty of parking. The staff and the owner are great people very attentive and very friendly. The food is always amazing from breakfast lunch and dinner. Which they offer on a Friday and Saturday night. I would highly recommend.

D. K.

I got the club sandwich with chips, it was really good. It was busy so took a while, it was worth the wait

S. K.

Very nice, tasty menu, great to see such a popular cafe/restaurant. Clearly it is busy because the quality is good and it's not expensive.

Thank you

N. G.

I organised a dinner in The Chef's Cafe last weekend for 35 members of a local community group. We received excellent service and a lovely meal. And it was all great value (no charge for BYOB is always helpful). Thank you Matt and all your staff.

(Translated) We stopped by this bar by chance along the Dublin to Galway road for lunch. Reception area, young staff. The menu is very rich, spoiled for choice. Fresh and seasonal products. We were very satisfied (Original) Ci siamo fermato in questo bar per caso lungo la strada da Dublino a Galway per pranzo. Locale accoglienza, personale giovane. Il menù è molto ricco, l'imbarazzo della scelta. I prodotti freschi e di stagione. Siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti

(Translated) Very good food. Also quick things or snacks. No alcohol, but you can bring your own wine. I think it's great, although the food tastes excellent even without alcohol. Excellent coffee and cake. Staff quick and very friendly. It is worth stopping there and enjoying the food. (Original) Sehr gutes Essen. Auch schnelle Sachen bzw. Snacks. Kein Alkoholausschank, aber man darf sich seinen eigenen Wein mitbringen. Finde ich super, wobei das Essen auch ohne Alkohol vorzüglich schmeckt. Kaffee und Kuchen exzellent. Personal schnell und sehr freundlich. Es lohnt sich dort halt zu machen und das Essen zu genießen.
