Ernies

After a few days of pub food in Galway, we popped into Ernie’s Grocery for something healthier. Ernie was super friendly and helpful. It was the perfect spot to grab some lighter, tasty options. Definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a break from the usual! Ernie is a legend

One of my favorite stops on my entire 2 weeks trip to Ireland. Great fruit and veg for our picnic to cliffs next day. This is the spot, not Dunnes. Love the kids stopping in after school for candy and ice cream.

Friendly traditional shop which has won many awards over the years. Ernies is a much loved shop by the people of Gaway. He is a good humoured decent family man, trained as a chef which explaines the exceptionally high standard of the produce that he sells. He chooses with great care products from Europe and is always well stocked with organic fruit and veg and free range hen and duck eggs. I love his wines which are really well priced. Watch out for focaccia from Kai, pre order and pre pay to avoid disappointment.

Ernie’s an absolute legend. He offers basic produce (onions, garlic) and “dried” goods (pasta, oat milk) if you’re crunched and can’t do a proper shop. Great guy.

A local Galway family business active for many decades, Ernie Deacy runs this grocery with care and attention to quality and customer service. In some ways, it's like stepping back in time; you could easily imagine this place in the 40s or 50s supplying the locals on The West with their daily or weekly supplies. But the range of product available now is definitely 2024 😀 A fine selection of pastas, sauces and antipasti? Yes. Local fruit and vegetables. Yes. Authentic Mexican corn tortillas? Si! You don't need Ernie to tell you the fresh figs, the bread, the olives, the coffee and the curry paste are excellent because Ernie and his team would not stock anything they wouldn't love themselves! Keep it up Ernie and co, you're a credit to the West!

Just love the place!! Popping into Ernie's since the age of 12; sweets at school❤. Always great banter. They were the original Galway city shop for French, Italian and all continental foods; unusual fresh herbs, smoked salmon. Also, now French and Italian wines and water. His fresh fruits line the path outside - a different experience from a bygone time. You'll always call in when back in Galway....

Nice selection of fresh produce, the shop keeper is very nice and they have alot of authentic spices and condiments.

We are here in Galway for just a couple of days and popes in here to grab a few things. Really nice fresh fruit and veggies, some wine, small collection of other items and one really nice store owner! Thanks Ernie for telling us where the good local music and breakfast spots are.
