Vegan 1.0: a day in Galway (Ireland)


Suggestion guide for a vegan visiting Galway: where to eat, how to find vegan friendly places in a town with no 100% veg restaurant. Suggestions:



Breakfast

Have a traditional Irish breakfast at Finnegans but ask for a veggie one with only mushrooms, hashbrown, tomato, beans and orange juice (tea or coffee is served too). It is a very traditional place to eat irish breakfast and the decoration is pretty unique too.

Lunch

Conveniently located on the main street, shop street, have lunch at High Cafe. Several options are available on request such as calzone without cheese and veggie couscous.

If this is a saturday go to the market around the church and find the falafel stand, cheap, vegan and delicious.

Tea Time

Have a coffee or a tea with a wonderful raw cheesecake at PureRaw Cafe.

Dinner

For a fancy dinner with a view book a table at Raw Sushi in the sky and go for one of their veggie sushi rolls (only 5 euros!)
or if you would like to have dinner in town try some indian food at the Kashmir fine Indian Cuisine (let them know you don't eat dairy and they will show you several options available)

Go out "for one" drink

To end the day like a true Galwegian to need to go out for "one drink", even if it's more than one drink...! Go over the bridge and find a place in the traditional Salthouse pub. They have several craft beers, most of them naturally vegan, locally brewed and also several guest beers from around the world. Pick and choose.
