Aniar | Galway's Michelin-Starred Gem
📍53 Dominick St Lower, Galway, H91 XH52 The name "Aniar" (Irish for "from the west") reflects its philosophy—everything from ingredients to decor is sourced from Western Ireland. ✨ My Second Visit: What’s New? 24-course menu, but only 3 dishes repeated from last time! Seasonal surprises: Chef introduces each dish’s origin like a storyteller. Post-meal gift: A plantable menu with chamomile seeds (grow flowers → brew tea!). 🍽 Dining Experience Honest feedback welcomed (I told them sauces were saltier this year—chef promised to adjust next time!). Chef personally thanks guests after dessert. ❤️ 🌿 Aniar’s Signature Traits 1️⃣ Daily-changing menu (rare repeats). 2️⃣ Hyper-local sourcing (foraged herbs, coastal plants). 3️⃣ "Weeds" as art—edible wild greens you’d spot on roadsides! 4️⃣ Unexpected flavors (e.g., celery ice cream). 5️⃣ Creative constants (e.g., candy/ice cream formats stay, flavors evolve). 📌 Practical Notes €170pp (without drinks). Book early (3-3.5hr meal; avoid slots after 7:30pm—no buses post-11pm!). Birthdays? Note it online—they’ll add candles! 🎂 Allergies? Custom menus available. Friday bookings: Call directly. Leftovers? They pack them beautifully. ⚠️ Portions: Bite-sized (but 24 add up!). #GalwayFood #MichelinDining #IrishGastronomy
