The Prom Restaurant at Salthill Hotel is one of Galway’s finest dining destinations, offering locally sourced Irish cuisine with breathtaking views of Galway Bay and the iconic Salthill Promenade. Our award-winning chefs craft seasonal menus that celebrate the best of the West of Ireland’s produce, from fresh Atlantic seafood to premium Connemara lamb and artisan Irish cheeses.
A Dining Experience Like No Other
Perched along the famous Salthill Promenade, The Prom Restaurant offers a dining experience that pairs exceptional food with one of Galway’s most beautiful settings. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic views of Galway Bay, creating an atmosphere that is both elegant and warmly inviting. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a romantic evening, or catching up with family over a leisurely meal, The Prom Restaurant provides the perfect backdrop for every dining experience.
The restaurant’s contemporary design blends seamlessly with the natural beauty of its seafront location. Soft lighting, elegant table settings, and the ever-changing colours of the Atlantic sky combine to create an ambiance that is uniquely special. Many guests tell us that watching the sunset over Galway Bay while dining at The Prom is one of the highlights of their stay at Salthill Hotel.

The Prom Restaurant is open for dinner from 5:30pm to 8:45pm daily. We also serve brunch from 10am to 12pm every morning, making it the ideal way to start your day in Galway.

Seasonal Menus Featuring Local Ingredients
At The Prom Restaurant, we believe the finest dishes start with the finest ingredients. Our head chef works closely with local suppliers, fishermen, and farmers across the West of Ireland to source the freshest seasonal produce available. Our menus change regularly to reflect what is at its best, ensuring every visit to The Prom offers something new and exciting to discover.
Our dinner menu features a carefully curated selection of starters, mains, and desserts that showcase the rich diversity of modern Irish cuisine. From perfectly seared Atlantic salmon and succulent Galway Bay shellfish to tender Connemara lamb and aged Irish beef, every dish is prepared with care, creativity, and attention to detail. We are equally proud of our vegetarian and plant-based options, which are crafted with the same dedication to flavour and presentation as every other dish on our menu.
Starters at The Prom might include Galway Bay chowder with freshly baked brown bread, a seasonal salad of local organic leaves, or our signature crab cakes with a citrus aioli. For mains, guests can look forward to dishes such as pan-fried fillet of hake with a herb crust, slow-braised beef cheek with root vegetables, or a seasonal risotto that changes with the best available produce. Our dessert menu features indulgent options including warm chocolate fondant, pavlova with seasonal berries, and a selection of artisan Irish farmhouse cheeses.
Brunch at The Prom
Our popular brunch menu offers a wonderful way to start the day in Galway. Served every morning, brunch at The Prom features classics with a contemporary twist. Favourites include eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, fluffy buttermilk pancakes with seasonal fruit, avocado on sourdough with poached eggs, and our famous full Irish breakfast made with the best local ingredients. Whether you’re fuelling up before a walk along the Prom or settling in for a lazy weekend morning, our brunch is a highlight for hotel guests and Galway locals alike.
Wine, Cocktails and Beverages
Our sommelier has assembled a thoughtful wine list featuring carefully chosen selections from Europe’s premier wine regions, including France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, alongside exciting New World discoveries from South America, Australia, and New Zealand. Each wine has been selected to complement the flavours of our seasonal menus, and our team are always delighted to suggest the perfect pairing for your chosen dish.
Beyond wine, our beverage offering includes a curated collection of Irish craft gins served with premium tonics, artisan cocktails inspired by the West of Ireland, locally brewed craft beers, and an excellent selection of Irish whiskeys.
