Superb breakfast at Mr Waffle. I had the Breakfast Crêpe and it was absolutely delicious. Packed with fillings, cooked perfectly, and served with a tasty tomato relish on the side. 🥞🍳
The staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive throughout, and the service was quick without feeling rushed. The restaurant itself was spotless and had a lovely relaxed atmosphere.
A great spot for breakfast and one I’ll definitely be returning to. Highly recommended!

Friendly staffTasty foodAtmosphereBreakfast
Mr Waffle is simply amazing!
The atmosphere is exceptional,very cozy and perfect for relaxing or meeting friends. The wrap was, without a doubt, the most delicious I’ve had in Galway, full of flavor and very well prepared.
On top of that, the staff are extremely friendly and attentive, which makes the whole experience even better.
I’ll definitely be coming back more often!
I was seated immediately and the staff member who seated me was incredibly friendly and helpful with my questions about the menu, I ordered the chocolate pancakes and they were fabulous.
While eating, I watched as the staff were taking care of all of the guests and how their service was impeccable to each customer.
If you love sweet treats and amazing service then this is definitely somewhere you should go!
