The Forge Gastrobar — Restaurant in County Galway

A superb dining experience. Having used the customary hand cleansing station at the entrance, my wife and I were were ushered by friendly, helpful staff to a suitable table. The venue was clean, light and spacious with plenty of room between tables. The seats were the most comfortable we have ever sat on, in any restaurant - ever. We joked we wanted to add a couple of their chairs to our order.

I had the beef, with roast vegetables. My wife chose the rack of lamb. Both meals were utterly delightful. Cooked beautifully, the meat was tender and the accompaniments similarly delicious.

The bill, including cranberry juice drinks, came to only 45 Euros. Wonderful value for such an excellent meal.

I heartily...

Really enjoyed our recent family gathering here. Plenty of parking around. The atmosphere/background music for small family gathering was perfect, not too loud not too low. The staff were very friendly and efficiency with the table service. The food was delicious. There was hand sanitizer everywhere and the place appeared clean throughout. I would definitely book there again for a small occasion. I dropped a star just because it was quiet cold upstairs in the function room, but, perhaps I could have chosen something warmer to wear and more suitable for the time...

What a pleasant experience. We stopped here on the way to Clifden. As we were already booked into the hotel for dinner we had a snack & as my companion had no Covid certificate (83 yrs & lost) we ate outside. He ate potato & leek soup, I had a smoked salmon open sandwich on brown homemade bread which was so generous & delicious. We were served by the loveliest Bulgarian girl who made us really welcome. She smiled continuously! On our way back from Clifden we also stopped in to eat fresh fish & chips & a pickled fennell salad. Do try The Forge - you won't be...
