The G Hotel is one of the few 5 star hotels in county Galway. Conveniently located just 1km from the city centre, over looking a lake and decorated in a smart, fancy but vintage style.
We have had food here before, as an omnivore and twice now eating vegan.
Last May I ordered my vegan menu in advance and got to choose what I wanted to eat beforehand. I was not disappointed:
- incredibly great tasty pea soup (served with extra raw peas)
- Great grilled mushroom with vegetable gnocchi
This time I called and wanted to order my vegan meals in advance again however they informed me that now they have new menus: Vegetarian Menu and Vegan Menu. So no need to book in advance!
We went of course for the vegan menu.
(the allergen icons were a typo, which the restaurant apologised for, of course none of the dishes has dairy or egg)
So we went for the Potato and Leek soup and Vegetable Spring Rolls followed by the vegetable penne pasta and the vegetable wellington.

Asserted desserts: hazelnut and chocolate truffle and coconut cake with a ball of mango sorbet.
Everything was superb, delicious and presented in the most wonderful way. The staff was very nice, friendly and knowledgable about their food and wine pairings.
It just could not have been any better...! Oh wait, it could. Because we mentioned at reservation that we were celebrating we received complementary coffee and an extra treat!
5 star service and felt very pampered. The G Hotel never lets you down. If you have something to celebrate be sure to go to Gigis for dinner. And the best part: without wine the vegan dinner for two was 55 euros.
Thank you ! Thank you ! Thank you !
