So have any of You eaten at The G Counter?? In Wellpark Galway?? The G Counter is situated just behind The G Hotel. We have been before and it’s one of Our favourite places to eat in the city. The last time We ate there was back in February I think just a few weeks before We got married. We went for breakfast and I was well impressed with the place.

So two weeks ago while getting a break from the hospital canteen We decided to stop by The G Counter again for a bite of lunch. There’s always a relaxed fun atmosphere in the place, but they are serious about food. I actually spotted Pat Divilly while We were there …starstruck!!  

We got a table straight away, it was busy but not too packed either. We had a look on the menu. They have a great range to choose from. There’s everything from salads to burgers to rotisserie chicken to all day breakfast, a good few veggie options too.

So I decided on the duck noodle salad, I was being good to myself so I had chips on the side. The chips come with “chip sauce” this is a mix of brown sauce & vinegar so the friendly waiter told me. Mr Dillon chose the belly pork burger. This looked amazing, when it came. It was basically shreds of slow cooked belly pork shaped into a burger and served in a brioche bun with chips on the side. I had to have a small taste and it was delicious.

our yummy lunch

My duck and noodle salad came with fresh orange segments. The combination of flavours were to die for. The duck juicy and full of flavour while the salad was fresh and zingy from the bursts of orange.  There was a bed of noodles too so this would have been quite filling on its own.

We also had tea & coffee and I had a sparkling water. The desserts looked amazing but I had to decline on this occasion as I had indulged in the chips.  I think the bill came to €32 or something near that. We thought it was very good value for such a gorgeous meal, a lunchtime delight.

We love The G Counter and hope to return again next time We are in Galway. It’s an easy place to get to and there’s free parking which always helps. The G Counter also serves wine & beers although We weren’t drinking on this occasion. It’s a great spot and definitely worth a visit. They also have a delicious range of bakery goodies that looked amazing. Oh and the coffee is great too.

great coffee

Bye for Now,

Hi Everyone,So We are making an effort to try out a new “foodie haunt” once a month. I think We are so lucky in Mayo as We have some great places to eat. The quality of the food on the west coast is amazing & its good to go around and try new places. I really enjoy going out for dinner, more than going out for drinks. Im showing my age…   We really enjoy going out for a meal, as its a great way to spend quality time together. Sitting down to chat while facing each other is great for communication. Sometimes life can be so busy and its lovely to enjoy some relaxing time away from all the drama. So this month We decided to try Pat Cohan’s Gastro Pub in Cong. Its about a thirty minute drive from our house, so it was perfect. Mr Dillon agreed to let me have a glass of wine so He drove. I had a bit of a tough week to be honest so I had two glasses of pinot gricio  with my meal to unwind a bit.
