Have been here every year for a long time. A tipical pub food venue. Prefer the restaurant to hectic small bar. Views from upstairs coffee shop great.

O'Dowds offers a great range of eating and drinking in Roundstone. The seafood is amazing, but if you're a meat eater, you won't be disappointed either - the steaks are excellent.
Friendly staff and good service complete the picture.

Stopped in for a snack after driving on some winding narrow roads and walking about a quaint little town. A shared seafood platter and Galway Hooker ale hit the spot!! The almond kiwi tart was also very delicious. Great atmosphere. Super friendly patrons and wait staff.

I recommend to sit upstairs for fab view and good coffee.
Presents itself as internet cafe (wifi charged) but so much more. Good menu, including vegan options, served until 8.30pm but we didnt know that until we had coffee there at end of holiday.
