I got a tip about the place from an attendant in the tourist office as good for seafood, which is what I wanted from my trip to Galway. I was not disappointed. I ordered from their set menu of two courses for €19. I had a tasty tomato and basil soup to start and an amazing baked cod piece with... More

A great restaurant on a bustling street. We had a window seat and so could watch the world go by whilst we waited for our freshly cooked meal. We had the two course set meal for 19 euros and a carafe of wine and the whole meal was delicious. The service was good and the staff friendly. The restaurant gets... More

I was in Martine's in December 2012. I had a beef stake cooked at perfection! The beef was tasty and very tender, could tell that it was seasoned I'll go back

We ate here at the recomendation of a bartender, wish we would have chosen somewhere else. The service was very good and our little bistro table outside afforded a great view of the busy ped street. The food was a disappointment. We shared 2 apps and a main and everything lacked flavor. Wish we would have eaten at Quay Street... More

Martine's is a superb owner managed restaurant on the pedestrian street in Galway. The food is absolutely brilliant. We had the E20 special and we got a wonderful apple and celeriac soup followed by a delicious dish of oven baked cod. Topped off with a great wine list we had a fantastic meal. Highly recommended

Excellent meal with 3 others. We had no reservations and everyone got steak. Service was excellent, the food was excellent. I would say the quality of the food was similar to NY Steakhouses. Not quite elite level steakhouse but still very good, and better than many NY steakhouses. It was costly, however. About 40 euros for a steak. If it... More
