Kirwan’s Lane broke new ground in Galway and – along with its sister restaurant, O’Grady’s On The Pier in Barna – it remains up there among the best dining experiences in the county. While there’s meat aplenty on the menu, seafood is the thing here, with local fish being lovingly prepared and served in season under the direction of chef-owner Mike O’Grady. The selection is impressive, including Galway Bay Rock oysters, Connemara smoked salmon and steamed mussels alongside other more wide-roaming creatures of the deep! There’s lovely desserts and a great atmosphere too.

Best Dish: Seafood Linguini with Gambas Prawns, Mussels, Clams, Fresh Chili, Garlic, Lemon & Parsley – €19.95
