Monks is located in the town of Ballyvaughan, a 15 minute drive from the house. They have a wide array of seafood available and also do takeaway. I highly recommend the chowder.
The home of seafood in Galway Bay for more than 40 years. Traditional, rustic and local. Fresh, flavourful and full of goodness. This is what Monks food is all about – because we bring you ‘local’ at its best."

L'arco is nestled away on Ballyvaughans main street, They make great pizza and pasta and also do takeaway. Great for large groups as the restaurant is spacious or order a couple of pizzas and starters to take home. My personal favourite is the bruschetta to start and the huntsman 's pizza. portions are large, so perfect for sharing.
