"The long-standing, sustainably minded Kai is really two places in one. At lunch, they take walk-ins only and serve one course followed by homemade cakes and pastries (they also have their own bakery). Things ramp up a gear at dinner, with a 3 course à la carte heavily guided by the seasons and the local area. Dishes are often understated in appearance, but just a handful of ingredients are needed for plentiful flavour; keep an eye out for the specials, like a super 'conference pear tarte Tatin'. Excellent wine pairing suggestions will enhance your visit." - Michelin Inspector

"At Green Star (and Bib Gourmand) Kai, vibrant dishes are served with a side of sustainability. 75% of waste at this local favorite is recycled, with the remaining 25% used to produce energy. Add to that a menu that focuses on local and organic produce and you get the perfect spot for a laid-back brunch or a date night out." - Kevin Chau

Hands down the best meal in Galway. Fresh ingredients, lovely staff, and a beautiful inside. The detailed menu is written on a chalk board above the kitchen and it may be small but it's mighty. Every dish is wonderful and the desserts are a must. We had the most divine Key Lime Pie. Can't wait to come back and enjoy another meal. Wish I could give it 10 stars!

This may be the best restaurant in all of Ireland. The service is friendly and laid-back, the menu is interesting and varied, and the drinks list does not disappoint. A few weeks ago I asked ChatGPT for a restaurant recommendation in Galway, and it immediately pointed me to Kai. Thank you to our new robot overlords for the suggestion, and thank you to the team for a truly wonderful lunch experience. We had the hake fish finger feature and some gorgeous little fritters, each served with a flirty little salad and fresh-baked bread. They also have a cheeky selection of local bottled zero-proof drinks including some cute lemonades and sodas (try the Irish apple juice—or as the Irish call it, “Apple juice”). 10/10 would go back.

Disappointing. Given the many positive reviews, we had high expectations. We should have read through the reviews more carefully, as our experience was similar to that shared in about 1/5 of the reviews by others below. Atmosphere is really nice. Service is good, but nothing special given the price and reputation -- perfunctory comes to mind. The real disappointment was the food. The parma appetizer was great. The rest of the dishes, however, while cooked really well, were either remarkably bland, as if missing key ingredients, or plain off with mismatched ingredients. There are numerous better restaurants for this price across Ireland, including within a few blocks away in Galway.

My expectation was so much more from Kai. But our experience was not great. All the dishes were missing taste, a bit bland. Service wasn't great either they didn't even explain dishes much. Oysters were disappointing didn't like the sauce much. Venison tartare wasn't great either it felt like something missing in it. Monkfish wasn't bad but chowder was tasteless. Scallops served with broccoli it didnt look good at first place. Desserts were good but we had french cheese and chocolate mousse which you can't go wrong with those I suppose. So overall it was't worth the money we paid.

Absolutely perfect👌 fresh dishes, great value, nice prices. If you don't drink alcohol, restaurants could be very cheap😁 restaurant is busy- take a reservation before going ✅

The best meal we had our entire visit to Ireland. I would come back across the ocean just for the crab salad. All of our mains were exceptionally good. The beef cheek and polenta were tender and flavorful, the pork chop was cooked perfectly, and the pannisse was addictive.

The food was absolutely amazing and beautifully presented! I am still thinking about the goat cheese stuffed artichoke meal I had and the crab starter. 🤤

Not sure if the lunch menu is much better? The dinner experience was just alright.. but over price for sure. beef cheek €38and Pork chop €36 plus tiny bits of roast potato was just warm enough €7… no much Vegs and presentation come with the main course for this price. Could do much matter
