Pedros is ideally located within the Tuam shopping centre which makes it so much easier to incorporate a bit of lunch or coffee during the shopping spree. Pedros is a nice and friendly place. I was welcomed immediately coming in the door and seated. I ordered a greek salad and a cappucino. The salad was gorgeous and plentiful and the cappucino hit the spot. My only criticism is that Pedros windows/glass takes all the heat from the sun and it can get very uncomfortable. I was looking for a shaded spot in the room but couldnt find one. Shouldnt complain though, a little sun in Ireland is no bad thing. Price point was very reasonable, lovely lunch for just under 10eur.

Visited this restaurant recently with some friends. The waitress who was on duty was lovely, friendly and very helpful regarding the menu and wine list. We skipped the starter and had main course and desert. A very good choice of everything. It was well presented and piping hot. I look forward to returning again for the 'early bird' which finishes at 7 pm.

Friendly staff and fantastic place! I've eaten the menu of the day, it was a very good soup, also a tuna Sandwich served in a magnificent composition, they leave nothing away! It was a mouth-watering meal
Talking about the place it is very cute, with "obsessiveness" cleaning, it can only be a plus
I hope to be there again in future

I've tried this place many times, Sunday lunch was nice but wouldn't write home about it.
Was in there last Sunday for breakfast, as we ordered the waiter didn't even look or acknowledge us, just wrote the order and walked away, the staff seem undertrained and don't seem to care.
Food is ok but hard to get a fry wrong, won't be returning.
Doesn't cost anything to have manners

We really enjoyed our family meal here last week. The menu choice was great, we chose from salmon, steak, vol au vents, pork belly, vegetarian options etc. The meal was delicious and everyone cleared their plates! The restaurant was very busy but our food still came out quickly without any problems. The portions are very good and the food was piping hot. The Deserts was amazing, I had the reeses nut bar cheesecake which was gorgeous, I also tried the Bakewell tart & the apple tart which were delicious too. The wine options were also very good. The price was very reasonable for such great quality food. I've also been here numerous times for lunch and its always great. The staff are friendly and the restaurants itself is very comfortable. I'd definitely recommend the Corralea to others, and I'd definitely be back for dinner again soon :)
9. Emperors Palace Restaurant

Reviewed By vjmartinkai - Galway, Galway, Ireland
In order to be a good restaurant or takeaway, a place should do three things right: have great food, great atmosphere and great service. Emperors Palace Restaurant excels in the first and the last categories. The food is delicious, fresh and never a disappointment. The service is excellent too. However, the interior of the place is unpleasant and outdated if you wanna sit in to have a meal there, so if you wanna have a meal there - best way is to focus on your delicious food and ignore the surroundings. We usually end up getting take-out.
10. Lumberjacks Woodfired Pizza

Reviewed By Iano33 - Dublin, Ireland
Only after getting pizza here in the last hour. Highly unlikely to go back.
The place is obviously very popular as the queue to get in was huge. It’s clean and it’s interesting looking. The staff are pleasant.
I am terribly disappointed with the food. My pizza was on a wafer thin base which was over cooked and more like a poppadom. Sauce was scarce and cheese was scarcer. The rest of the toppings seemed like they were just dumped in on top of a margarita pizza as an afterthought. I’ve put most of it in the bin despite the fact that I am starving at the minute. The wedges were ok though.
Like I said, the queue speaks for itself so it’s possible I got a dud. Unfortunately this happened in my first visit and first impressions last.
