  Staff appeared happy, knowledgable, confident, warm and relaxed which really contributed to positive atmosphere within Aniar. As someone who is allergic to dairy and doesn't eat red meat, eating out can be precarious and nerve-wracking even if I let restaurant people know about this in advance. But right from when I alerted them to my needs when booking through to the end of the meal, the staff were so kind and understanding. I would recommend Aniar to anyone as the quality of the food is so high but especially to those who have allergies and need a wee break from the raised eyebrow 'ara would you cop on to yourself' attitude of restaurant staff in Ireland.

  Amazing meal with amazing service. We had the ten course tasting menu with matched drinks and it was just incredible. Everything was perfect! Quite hard to pick a favorite dish even. The only sad part was leaving. Can't rate it highly enough for a great dining experience.

  My husband and i did the 8 course tasting during our irish honeymoon. It was delightful! You dont get to choose what you eat, so you should only do this if you have a wide-ranged palette. I suggest the wine/drink pairings with dinner, it really is paired so perfectly. Overall, for 2 we spent approximately 400 euros.

  Booking in advance is essential. Small 30seater or so restaurant. From pigeon to venison - your taste buds will be tested! A wonderful German Sommelier is ready to guide you in wine pairing and the wait staff are knowledgeable and engaging in what was a wonderful culinary experience.

  If I could rate the food separately from the service, I would give the food 5 stars and the service 4. Unfortunately I can't rate them separately, so Aniar gets 4 stars. The food itself was amazing (especially the mountain strawberry dessert which was incredible). My girlfriend and I had the 8 course and it took pretty much exactly 3 hours as was promised. However, the pace felt off. We got "snacks" before we were able to order drinks, the bread (which seemed to be treated as its own standalone course) course overlapped with the following one, and it seemed like people around us were getting courses served at quicker pace despite arriving after us. There was also a moment where we were asked if we wanted a break which seemed odd since it was at a time in the tasting menu where things were feeling very slow. I'd venture to say that the 3 hours could be condensed to 2.5 with great success. The waitstaff themselves were very friendly though so I'm not that upset. I would still come back here to eat the next time I'm in Galway.
