Our steak is different. Here’s exactly why. 🔥

Meet the Josper oven, one of the first in Ireland. It’s not a regular grill, it’s a sealed chamber that grills, roasts and smokes all at once. That’s why the outside gets this perfect char while the inside stays juicy.

Not grilled. Not roasted. Something in between, and it’s unbelievable.

This is the fire we cook with, every single day.

Stop guessing when it comes to w**e 🍷

White with fish isn’t a rule, it’s chemistry. The acidity works like a squeeze of lemon and keeps everything fresh.

Red with steak comes down to tannins binding with the fat, which is exactly why a Malbec next to something off our Josper oven works so well.

And the one nobody expects: chicken liver pâté with a dry red. The fat in the pâté softens the tannins completely.

Save this before your next visit, you’ll thank yourself at the table. 🥩

One family. One street. Since 1902. 🍷

Long before the dining room, the w**e and the steak, Martine was selling home brewing kits from her family’s shop window on Quay Street. Then she opened Ireland’s first w**e bar outside Dublin.

Today that same idea lives in the kitchen, where our head chef has spent over a decade treating every plate like it belongs on these walls.

Save this for your next Galway dinner and send it to whoever you’d bring. 🥩

A full night at Martine’s, in one carousel. Roasted and finished properly, w**e picked to go with it, cocktails that look as good as they taste, and walls that turn every table into a bit of a gallery.

This is Quay Street after dark.

Nothing fancy about how it happens, just Joy and a ladle, doing it the same way every time.
Real vegetables, nothing artificial, nothing out of a packet. This is the soup of the day at Martine’s.

Come in and ask what today’s is.

Every great dish starts with someone who’s spent years getting it right. Meet Joy Choudary, the head chef running the kitchen at Martine’s. This is where it all actually comes from.

POV: you’ve tried every wrong way to get a waiter’s attention, except the one that actually works. 😅

At Martine’s, you can skip the whole routine, we notice you before you notice us. And while you wait, take a proper look around: you’re not just at a table, you’re sitting inside an art gallery.

Galway’s coast and countryside, all on one plate. 🌊🔪

Every dish here starts with something raw and real: hand cut, dry aged beef, whole fish landed fresh, and cheeses picked from some of Ireland’s best producers. It’s treated like a craft, the same way the paintings on our walls are, before it ever reaches your table.

From the block to the pass to your table, this is what “locally sourced” actually looks like.
