Traditional Sweet Dishes
Irish Soda Bread
Galway's Irish soda bread is a speedy, rustic loaf leavened with baking soda instead of yeast, and families traditionally cut a cross on top to bless the loaf and keep mischievous fairies at bay.
Barmbrack
Barmbrack is a sweet, fruit-studded loaf often eaten at Halloween, and it's famous for sometimes hiding a trinket inside to predict the eater's future, like a ring for marriage or a coin for prosperity.
Carrageen Moss Pudding
Carrageen moss pudding is made from local red seaweed, and its silky, set texture was prized in coastal kitchens for centuries as both a dessert and a nourishing tonic.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Seafood Chowder
Galway seafood chowder showcases the bounty of Galway Bay, combining tender fish and shellfish in a creamy broth that began as a fisherfolk's way to cook whatever came in from the nets.
Boxty
Boxty, a traditional potato pancake from the west, mixes grated and mashed potato to create a crispy outside and pillowy inside, and it has been celebrated in Galway as a humble dish with deep roots in peasant kitchens.
Irish Stew
Irish stew, typically made with lamb or mutton, potatoes and onions, was simmered slowly over the hearth and became an enduring symbol of Irish home cooking for its simple, nourishing ingredients.
Traditional Beverages
Irish Coffee
Irish coffee blends hot coffee, Irish whiskey and lightly whipped cream, it was created to warm travelers in the west of Ireland and quickly became a worldwide symbol of cozy hospitality.
Guinness
Guinness is poured with a careful two-part technique in Galway pubs to create its signature creamy head, and its roasted barley flavor has turned the stout into an instantly recognizable emblem of Ireland.
Irish Whiskey
Irish whiskey is often triple distilled for extra smoothness and matured in oak casks, which gives it a mellow, honeyed character that made it a cornerstone of Irish hospitality and a focus of modern craft revivals.
