Dinner in Galway

Tonight we decided to go out to dinner for the first time in Galway. We went to a place called Finnegan's which offered good traditional Irish food and some other favorites, such as pizza. It was a very non-touristy atmosphere. There were locals there who knew the waitresses and it was very small. The food was pretty good and very cheap. I got Traditional Irish Stew. I would not go so far as to say it was a great meal, but I enjoyed the stew itself. The mashed potatoes left a lot to be desired and the cabbage was tasteless. The definite benefit, though, was getting a ton of food for 9.90 euros. Each entree came with mashed potatoes, baby potatoes, cabbage, carrots, and turnips.

We could have gotten dessert at Finnegan's too (the Bailey's Irish Cheesecake sounded tempting) but we were so stuffed we opted to walk around a little bit before getting dessert. We ended up at Zatsuma for "lovely crepes." They have a wide variety there: dinner crepes, dessert crepes, dessert waffles, hot drinks, etc. I got a Melted Marshmallow crepe which had marshmallow, hot fudge, M'n'Ms, and ice cream. It was very tasty.


Zatsuma claims to have lovely crepes. They do.

After dinner we went back to Niland House and watched Grease. It was definitely a very low-key night but it was good to stay in. Tomorrow if the weather is nice I'm going to take a bus tour to the Cliffs of Moher. It's going to take up most of the day, so I need to be rested! Have a lovely day.
