By We tried a variety of food and drinks in Galway. Very little of what we had was typical Irish fair. Breakfast was at the hotel and then Keltin and I made a deal: he get to pick lunch and I got to choose dinner. Keltin likes to try Mexican food in different countries, so we found a burrito bar. We might have over estimated the heat of the hot sauce. I managed to record our reactions.
We had eaten lunch early and needed a snack later in the day. We came across the churros and coffee shop. Apparently the afternoon pick-me-up we needed was fried dough covered in sugar and caffeine. It had rained earlier in the day. The air was heavy and just a bit too cool. Jokes aside a hot cup of tea did wonders.
For dinner I picked Trattoria Magnetti (I think, I didn’t actually take a picture), an Italian restaurant across the street from The Quay pub. I love some fish and chips but needed a change, so I got the mushroom risotto and it was exactly what I needed. For dessert we split a cannoli with pastiches and just the right amount of sweet. After dinner we headed across the street for a beer and some live music. Yes, we did get to hear a cover of Galway Girl in Galway. Check out the full Ireland playlist here.
Galway was full of history, a relaxed setting, good music, and good food. What is your favorite thing to do in a new city? Let me know in the comments. Remember to leave no trace and safe travels!

I think, if I were to mention the first thing to do in a new city, I’d have to say visit a museum. Food, would definitely be on that list…I’m a sucker for local cusine, and mostly every place has some. Great post Laci!

Thank you! We wanted to visit the one museum that was with walking distance but it was closed the day we were there.
