McCambridges is an institution in Galway. It is a family owned (going on 90 something years) shop and restaurant. Expect excellent food and service. It's also a great spot to purchase locally produced food products and wine!

This place is so delightfully dainty I can barely handle it. They have their own range of teas (make sure to try the Dreamy Creamy Galway tea) and the food is fresh and delicious. Definitely one not to miss.
