Frequently Asked Questions

Is a food tour in Galway worth it?

Absolutely! There’s no better way to experience the beautiful city of Galway and its culture than a food tour with a local guide.

What is the most famous food in Galway?

It can be hard to choose with so many delicious dishes in Galway, but many locals and visitors agree that some favorites include fresh seafood, such as Galway Bay oysters, fish and chips, and smoked salmon. Traditional Irish dishes like hearty stews, boxty (potato pancakes), and locally sourced lamb are also very popular. Galway’s vibrant food scene combines fresh, local ingredients with cozy cafés, lively pubs, and family-run restaurants, making it a perfect destination for food lovers.

Are tourists welcome in Galway?

Yes, absolutely. There’s an Galway tradition, the passeggiata—the gentle evening stroll to see and be seen. It’s about enjoying the city’s beauty at a relaxed pace, and it’s a feeling we believe every visitor should experience in Galway.

You’ll find the spirit of the passeggiata from locals when you connect with the city respectfully. It’s found when you support the family-run trattorias in Trastevere, help keep the ancient fountains pristine, and learn to navigate the beautiful, organised chaos of daily life. This is the authentic Galway experience.

It’s this connection we create on our Eating Europe tours. We step away from the crowds and take you to the places locals truly love, introducing you to the people behind the food and the stories that make this city one of a kind.

Do the tours accommodate vegetarian or gluten-free diets?
