Always enjoy a carvary breakfast and or lunch here. Kids love seeing the food choices. Food sells so quickly therefore it’s always fresh. Can be a little €€€ and parking usually an issue.

Usually quick to get food - from ordering to paying to sitting and eating. Staff busy but chatty. Parking an issue as each unit seem to have their own private parking.

If you are looking for breakfast, lunch or dinner, Frends is one of the best restaurants in Galway. The food is consistently good, fresh and hot. The service is excellent and the staff are friendly and professional. Frends is definitely worth a visit.

I was chatting to a friend over Christmas and we got talking about how hard it is to get a good traditional Irish breakfast in Ireland these days. He recommended this place to me, said it’s the best around. So I arrived, now, to be...honest, my first impression of the area, a commercial / retail park wasn’t great but I couldn’t believe it when I entered the place. There was a beautiful fresh salad bar to the right and a carvery at the back with the breakfast on display. I made a bee line for my breakfast. The food was unreal alright. It was just as my friend discribed it. Fresh, not greasy, beautifully laid out. There was a few people in front of me but it didn’t take long at all. The staff were like military trained but extremely friendly and helpful, they had real pride in what they were doing....Would you like tea or coffee, toast? Brown or White? Boom, I was at the cash register and then walked strait ahead into another huge hidden, clean and warm room. The place was massive and it looks small from the outside. Ok, last but not least, the breakfast was better than my friend had discribed, it was so bloody tasty, I was a bit hungover but it cured that. I was offered more tea or toast but I was full. They just don’t make breakfast like this in Ireland anymore! Nice one Pádraig, fantastic recommendation!More

Went into Frends restaurant today for a take away dinner which wasn’t great to start with anyway but the price of it was €10.95. A dinner in most restaurants around Galway are €9.95 sit in & take out are €8.95. My work colleagues or I...won’t be going back there again it’l the Banx restaurant or Trappers.More
