Galway (Ireland): Quay Street Kitchen




The Quay Street Kitchen is a small restaurant in the heart of the city: located on Quay Street (like the name suggests) and strategically near the Spanish Arch. 


I was surprised to find vegan option on this menu so we decided to eat here. We ordered a sharing platter with 
Hummus, Falafel, salad, grilled courgette and aubergine, olives and pita bread.


Then they have two vegan main courses: a bean burger and a tofu wrap. We tried the bean burger with sweet potato as side dish.


It was really tasty and filling !! The burger was big filled with some more grilled peppers and hummus. The sweet potato were perfectly grilled.
We were happy and quite satisfied and usually don't order dessert because well, when you are lucky you find vegan food a la carte but almost never vegan desserts (unless you want plain fruit or sorbet)

But wait on the dessert menu they had a chocolate cake "for our vegans...", we had to try this!!
And it did not disappoint:


The ice cream was delicious (I suspect Swedish Glace vanilla flavor ;) ) and the cake was moist and well just amazing ! I surely would recommend any vegan visiting Galway to go here - but be sure to arrive early enough as this seemes to be quite busy at dinner time (and I don't believe they take reservations), well I understand why !

I rate this
10/10 for the quality of food
9/10 for the decoration
9/10 for staff's friendliness 
9/10 for the price*

* The cost is around 25 euros per person (3 course dinner with a glass of wine), the tables are a bit small for tall people and it unfortunately took 45 min to serve the bean burger because the restaurant was packed.
