Aniar
A Michelin-starred restaurant in Galway offering exclusively tasting menus that change daily based on local, seasonal ingredients.
Aniar, meaning "from the west" in Irish, is helmed by chef JP McMahon and has held a Michelin star since 2013, retaining its one-star status in the 2026 guide. The restaurant offers only a tasting menu, priced on the official website at €175 per person, with optional wine or juice pairings. The menu changes seasonally and is finalized daily based on the ingredients delivered; the Michelin guide highlights the squid with nettle, and some dishes are served to the table by the chefs themselves. Open Tuesday to Saturday evenings, reservations must be made directly with the restaurant. Located at 53 Lower Dominick Street, just a short walk across the river from the Latin Quarter.
