What User likes about Riordan's:
Very pleasant staff and tasty seafood. What seemed to me a questionable choice is serving mussels in reinforced cardboard. But hey, it worked! Give it a visit. You'll eat well for a tenner and even better for double! I'll be coming back! View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Riordan's:
We came here in search of a traditional Irish coffee. It was raining heavily outside! The staff weren't overly friendly but they were polite. The Irish coffee was delicious and we had a great time. View all feedback.

Riordan's is a city-centre cafe offering average food but a good pint of Guinness. Grumpy staff and lukewarm, subpar food turned one customer off, but another found the staff friendly and the seafood tasty. While the service can be hit or miss, the prices are affordable for a satisfying Irish street food experience. The cozy atmosphere and delicious breakfast make it a hidden gem worth visiting. With polite staff, quality food, and a warm welcome, Riordan's could be a top spot for Galway gastronomy.
