Daróg Wine Bar

Outstanding. Excellent service, nice atmosphere and superb food. We ordered five dishes and two desserts. All wonderfully presented and not a single miss in taste. We cannot pick a favorite. I suppose the single fault would be the price per portion size. But this is supreme food and well worth experiencing.

Our experience was so satisfying. Everything we tried was so delicious. Service was very good. Everyone was so friendly and chatting away, explaining dishes and wines. If you see Tuna Tartlets on the menu you must try. Oysters were amazing too. And of course Hamachi Crudo was another great one. For wine I tried Etna Rosso it is such a good wine, might not be best pairing wine with these dishes but great balanced red wine.

Our group of three, no reservation, was very kindly accommodated on a busy and summery Saturday eve. The staff was very pleasant and informative, spending time with us to describe and recommend wines. Even replaced and refilled my wine when a fly dropped in my glass! Great spot for an aperitif/pre dinner bites or a small plates style dinner. Would love to come back!

It is not a very big but quite a cozy place with a vibrant atmosphere, and there are two experience tracks here. Either you can enjoy the cheese and wine tasting, or you can choose the food tasting with wine. We went for the second option consisting of three meals plus desserts. Each of us ordered three dishes, which was around 60 EUR for food only per person. This included oysters, crab, beef tartare, cheese selection, poached cod, pork and mushrooms, plus desserts. The nice thing is that you can ask the sommelier to suggest which wine is more suitable for your dish. We did this, and we were very happy with the suggested wines. We also learned more details about the origin of the wine and each cheese. This was a bit of a gourmet journey, experimenting and trying new wines. Overall, we had a great and enjoyable evening there.

I went here some time ago. Food cooked with heart. Every dish is exquisite and thoughtful. From the selection of ingredients, to the design of dishes, to the cooking and seasoning, it is full of thought and perfection. As a diner, I can feel the chef's effort. A little fly in the ointment suggestion, the mushrooms we ordered at the time were a bit salty. I can't fault anything else. I'm not a professional drinker, but I love the orange wine recommended by the owner. Please accept my respect 🫡

A perfect evening. A cozy, relaxed vibe. A wine lover’s paradise, amazing wine list with rare, older vintages. The food was absolutely stunning. We were speechless, this is 1 Michelin star level without the fuss. The staff is lovely and Iseult is exactly the sommelier you want, or at least I want: knowledgeable, sure, but fun, relaxed, down to earth and truly engaging. Cannot recommend this place enough. Le Soula 2015 was a great discovery and the Emidio Pepe Montepulciano was beautiful. Thank you for having us!

Stopped by for a quick bite and a glass of wine while in Galway last Saturday afternoon. Absolutely blown away by the quality of food and flavours. Really knowledgable staff, they definitely know their wines - you can find out so many interesting facts and stories about any wine that's on the menu. Lovely and cozy spot + great and super friendly service. Can't wait to visit for dinner and spend the whole evening there!

I would leave this wonderful place more stars if I could! Zsolt and Edel have created an amazing addition to Galway's food scene. The room is such a comfortable space with a great ambience. The service offered by Iseult was friendly, attentive and so knowledgeable. The wine selection is the best in Ireland that I can think of and the food, dear God, the food! Attila has produced an amazing selection of such delicious dishes! NOt at all surprised by the Michelin mention. I wish this gem was closer. EAT HERE!!!

Daróg was probably THE best meal I had my entire time in Ireland. A lot of people talk about Cork being the foodie capital of Ireland, but Galway really surprised me in the best way starting with Daróg. As the name would imply, the place offers an incredible selection of natural wines. The food menu uses fresh, seasonal ingredients so I'd recommend perusing it in advance since it changes frequently, from what I could gather. I sat at the bar this particular night. My one qualm about Daróg is their bar seats. Let's just say they're not really made for people with hips on the wider side and I felt a bit uncomfortable. Other than that, everything was spectacular. The bartender, a very nice but serious man from Germany (I learned), had incredible recommendations and judging by how spot on he was, I would trust him with my life. The kingfish crudo was the best bite I had during my ten day trip. The pork chop almost outdid the kingfish. The oysters were good as well and the presentation was beautiful. I even made a friend at the bar and she agreed to eventually split the steak tartare with me. She revealed that she used to be vegan and red meat, especially RAW red meat, is not something she would've ever considered eating before but she loved it. That's how good that steak tartare was. I would come back a thousand times if I could. It is well worth the price and I highly recommend anyone in Galway check it out.
