Sangria, Latin cuisine in the heart of Galway

Thu, Jan 23, 2020

We are told by TripAdviser that there are about 450 restaurants in Galway city and no sign of new openings stopping just yet. Here is one more 'must visit' for your list. Sangria has just moved from a small space on the corner of Buttermilk Walk to a new culinary oasis around the corner on Middle Street, not a stone’s throw from the bustle of Quay Street. Brilliant splashes of turquoise enliven the walls of this restaurant which has a dining room full of character, casual wooden tables, and interesting upholstered chairs. It is a dark, restful, space punctuated with dramatic pops of colour.

Since its opening, this restaurant has quickly made a name for itself in Galway and beyond. Owned by husband and wife team, Guatemalan native and head chef Byron Godoy and New Jersey born Mary Carroll (no relation) pulled up their Latin roots and moved to Galway and found a location for a new restaurant. There is no doubt that Guatemala's loss is Galway's gain, this warm and welcoming restaurant fits right in to our diverse food scene. Sangria has nailed the unusual tapas list, less formal than a traditional restaurant and with a simpler menu and wine list. The menu has ingredients sourced from Irish suppliers and reflects well-informed care and enough adventure to make it stand out from most of its peers in Galway city.
