K. S.

Best food we ate in Galway, gorgeous atmosphere in the restaurant, BUT slowest service I've ever had at a restaurant. So just don't expect to get your food quickly, but I would still recommend this for the quality of the food and the ambiance. Order the smoked salmon and the olives!

D. M.

Some of the best food in Galway and great service. Well made coffees and pastries/cakes, delicious sourdough and home made butter. Came here for breakfast (twice) and dinner during a short stay. Good value and highly recommended

S. H.

Best date night we’ve had! Beautiful food, lovely atmosphere, gorgeous knowledgeable staff .... dying to return!

A. D.

The best tartare I’ve had, goes so well with the charred toast. Great oysters too.

C. V.

Small place in the west side of Galway. The food is excellent, perfect to have lunch.

D. Ó. C.

One of the best restaurant experiences in Ireland. From the very first moment we entered the restaurant, we felt so welcome. The service is beyond special and the food is wonderful. And a special shout out to Yvonne who made our evening more fantastic than we could imagine.

B. D.

Fantastic overall experience. Service was so attentive and caring. Food was spot on, inventive, and flavorful. Wine suggestions were all new for me but excellent. The custard dessert was maybe the star of the show. Highly recommend this cozy place for a night out.

E. T.

Absolutely surreal. If you're thinking about going, stop. Just go.

H. H.

Really tasty food, great selection of wine and friendly service. Unfortunately it was the slowest service I have ever experienced with long pauses between dishes. You almost forget about it with the wine and the company but not quite.

M. C.

Small & perfectly formed cafe/ wine bar/ restaurant. Have been for dinner before....small plates of locally sourced produce - divine. Today i went for breakfast, had a wild mushroom and Durras omelette. Delicious.

L. H.

Fabulous chic eatery without any pretentiousness. The produce is locally sourced and it really shows – every dish was so fresh and crafted to perfection! Plenty of vegan/vegetarian friendly options and a lovely wine list.

G. C.

Lovely little place. Staff really friendly and the potato and leek soup was gorgeous.. I loved the butter with the salt on top it was a nice touch. Highly recommend this place

C. B.

We LOVED this place, and plan to go back frequently. Also bought some delicious elderflower salt and lavender vinegar. Add Tartare to your must-try list.

K. R.

Beautiful place, lovely food, locally sourced and all wine is organic and delicious. Most helpful and wonderful staff. Would definitely recommend a visit if you love those charming little cafés serving fine foods and wines and specially selected beers.

T. D.

Understated, tasty and creative food from Aniar's sister across the street. Experienced professional staff, with solid recommendations. Carefully curated wine list. Did I mention the buttermilk-oysters?.... nuff said !

A. G.

Great food and coffee, cozy interior space, and friendly staff. Highly recommend! 😊☕️

Y. K.

Excellent ambiance! Delicious coffee and deserts. Will definitely come back for a meal.

T. E.

This place is reasonable prices and has a mark from the micheling guide that it is worth eating here. You can find cheaper lunch but it is hard to find better. I can particularly recommend the beef tartare. The beef cheeks are also worth a try if you're a little more hungry.

J. D.

One of my favorite spots in Galway. The staff, food, interior - everything is on spot on! Hamhock and cheese omelette is my breakfast fav. Love their coffee. Staff is friendly, attentive and always with a smile on their faces. Can't wait to come back and try evening menu with some great wines they have. Really can't recommend enough.

K. T.

Creative food, good wine selection and superb service! Oysters w trout roe was my fav.

m. b.

Very cozy and tasty place!! Must eat tha chicken and the meat sandwiches!! Bravo!!!!

A. S.

Great spot in Galway to sample through a variety of delicious and interesting small plates that highlight the west of Ireland.

M. M.

Top Class. Have heard of & read great reports of J P McMahon 's group of eateries : Aniar, Cava Bodega & the latest, Tartare Café & Wine Bar. This was our first opportunity to visit one of these on a visit to Connemara as we left to head home. And wow! What a superb little gem of a place. Loved the quirky, contemporary vibe. Great staff. Small, and appetising menu. We chose a sublime Potato, Leek & Dillisk soup. One of the best soups I ever tasted. There followed a wonderful Smoked Tuna Salad. We will return

N. K.

Great wine list, amazing food and wonderful staff!! Must try Tartare (I guess the name gives it away…)

D. L.

Their menu is incredible, constantly changing, and like nothing else you'll see in Galway. There is no wrong thing to order because it is all amazing. When you're allowed to dine-in I would 100% recommend it as it is the cutest and cosiest spot. Also, by far the BEST MOCHA IVE EVER HAD.

P. P.

Excellent brunch service, staff are friendly and talented. Had the tartare and it was very tasty, would recommend to anyone and all for a good price.

C. d. C. M.

The food was outstanding and the staff was very nice. I strongly recommend it.

J. M.

Excellent, friendly (but not overbearing) staff, great food

S.

Really enjoyed the coffee and scone

C. H.

Best sandwich I have ever eaten in my life was the ham hock on sourdough here! Friendly staff and a cozy, inviting interior with lots of art and quirky details. Stunningly delicious and fresh food. Coffee was delectable as well. Was recommended to us by a local, and I’m so glad we stopped in!

M. K.

Absolutely stunning café, so glad we stumbled into it. The coffee is great, the sandwiches even better. It felt like everybody involved did their absolute best to make our experience as good as possible. And how they succeeded! Will definitely be paying a visit again the next time I'm in the area, and you should be too.

P. G.

Can't fault this place. Cool design, friendly staff. Every dish I have tried has been delicious. Reasonably priced and quirky, interesting dishes. You have to try them. Love the cheese scones and custard tarts as a small treat.

Love the food here!! Perfect mix of local ingredients and modern cuisine. A gem in Galway. The bread is delicious. Staff is always friendly

A. M.

The food in here is simply Wow! The best Oyster of my life till now I think!! And I’m trying good ones often with my parents! 🦪🙌🏼

I. H.

Very nice staff. The place is pretty small so I imagine it's always busy and not easy to find seating. I just had latte and a brownie, I didn't think much of them, I think other cafes in the area have nicer coffee and desert options.

F. L.

Galway's cosy, cultural spot with interesting food and such lovely staff. Rafa and Noeleen were so informative and interesting and gave a wonderful insight into their artistic worlds of cultivating wine and street theatre spectacles respectively. Well done on this venture Tartare. Great idea of merging the arts with food and wine.

N. T.

My wife and I found Tartare in Galway - a restaurant only four weeks old - to be a pleasant surprise. Our train from Dublin was delayed almost two hours, so all the restaurant scouting we hoped to do went out the window. We went looking for a sophisticated option and found Tartare. It specializes in small plates and wine, and has an excellent and varied menu for both. We enjoyed local oysters, a delicious venison and barley stew and an Irish cheese plate - all of which were sourced as locally as possible, according to the staff. If you want to avoid the touristy party scene on the other side of the river but still dine out in style in Galway, check out this cafe.

R. B.

Some of the best coffee I've ever had.

J. S.

a superb dining experience. each dish was so innovative. All ingredients are sourced locally and the staff were so attentive and passionate about their menu.

R. G.

If you told me you had a delicious bowl of potato soup for lunch i would have assumed it was the set up for a bad joke, but somehow Tartare have managed to

D. C.

Amazing food, diferent and superb. Highly recommended. The staff is super friendly and helpful.

M. J.

L. M.

A big YES to this place. Highly recommended! Beef tartare is a gem, staff lovely. You won't leave disappointed and you will come back.

B. Q.

Wow wow wow. GO! Fantastic food, right up there with nearby contenders Aniar, Kai, and much more relaxed ghan many. Everything was good, and the enthusiasm for their craft was pervasive. Go, see for yourself. Absolutely class

K. I.

Nice little place. Kind staff 😊

B. B.

Excellent food, brilliant staff and fantastic atmosphere! If it's open, eat here you won't regret it

F. S.

Have visited here both for Lunch and a coffee plus on occasion wine, quality of service and food are excellent, menu is interesting in a good way, relaxing environment but can get busy and a little tight for room. Not expensive but not the cheapest either but is value for money.

P. D.

Best place in Galway for a lunchtime sandwich. Great evening menu and wine list too. Friendly and efficient staff. Love this place.

(Translated) Only when she went in for a small snack, we left the restaurant completely enthusiastic. The food was fantastic. Seldom eaten such good oysters. The service and friendliness were exceptional. In addition, this street is one of the nicest streets for going out in Galway.

(Translated) Restaurant on Galway Main Street. It was a coincidence, but there was an introduction to the Michelin. The food is simple to eat on a small plate, with wine, light cocktails and beer in bottles. The tartar is very delicious. Please try it. (Original) 골웨이 메인 거리에 있는 음식점 입니다. 우연찮게 본곳인데 미슐랭 소개가 붙어있어 뭐지 하고 들어가봤는데 분위기도 좋고 직원분들도 굉장히 친절하고 좋았습니다. 음식은 스몰 플레이트로 간단히 먹기 좋게 잘 나오고 와인, 간단한 칵테일도 있고 병으로 맥주도 있습니다. 타르타르가 굉장히 맛있습니다. 꼭 드셔보시길 추천드립니다.

(Translated) Last night of the holidays. We chose 5 saucers to divide into two. The wonderful treat and the "Lamb" mouth-watering! The potatoes we didn't finish X leave room for desserts. If you are not a vegetarian I recommend concentrating on meat dishes, even if I personally would have eaten 5 tartare alone;) highly recommended. (Original) Ultima serata delle vacanze. Abbiamo scelto 5 piattini di dividere in due. La tratare meravigliosa e il “Lamb” da leccarsi i baffi! Le patate non le Abbiamo finite X lasciare spazio ai dolci. Se non siete vegetariani vi consiglio di concentrarvi sui piatti di carne, anche se personalmente mi sarei mangiata da sola 5 tartare ;) consigliatissimo.
