The River God is located above Neachtain's, the oldest pub in Galway, and commands great views of busy Quay Street. The menu is persistently eclectic, with an emphasis on southern French cooking. The starters are slightly more successful than the main courses, but usually the dishes combine surprising flavors to good effect. Yummy desserts are baked on the premises, and are well worth it. The portions are generous, the prices reasonable and the staff is attentive. The River God is highly recommended by Bridgestone's and other food guides.
