The g Hotel

Welcome to GEO our newly designed restaurant. Experience ‘Never Ordinary’ dining. Geo means earth. It can also mean the world. Our inspiration comes from around the globe, but our ingredients come from just around the corner.

Ireland has an embarrassment of culinary riches, with some of the world’s best seafood and produce pulled from our local farms and coastlines, just minutes and miles away from where you sit right now, and when you sit down at our table, that’s what you’ll get. In a more cheffy mood, we might use words like “provenance” and “terroir” to talk about our menu. But what we really mean is food that captures the energy and excitement of being right here, right now, in this exact place.

Savouring the moment, the experience, the taste, and the company.

The Hardiman

The Hardiman has been a meeting place for locals and visitors for generations. This historic hotel first opened its doors in 1852 to cater to well-heeled Victorian travellers and to this day it’s at the heart of Galway’s social scene. The grand features and sumptuous furnishings evoke memories of an era of elegance and romance.

The Hardiman, there are plenty of dining options to choose from. Enjoy Afternoon Tea in the Parlour Lounge, cocktails and light bites in the stylish Oyster Bar or spoil yourself with dinner in the Gaslight Brasserie
