Kai, Galway
Set on Galway’s Sea Road, its welcoming shopfront unbolts up into an atmospheric cosmos packed with bare stone, diverse pieces of wood and wacky niceties like jam pots over well-lit bulbs, outlined cans of Minerva mackerel, or an ancient Salter domestic scale. The pastoral, boho tone makes you feel at once thrilled and at comfort. Kai in Kai Cafe accurately reads, into ‘food’ in Maori.
An indigenous New Zealander, the chef, Jess Murphy, has established cheer for this unique eating spot. The menu differs each day, bestowing Celtic Kiwi dishes. Yes, Kai is resuming Irish stick on, but with a completely contemporary take. Recommendations go all out for the devilled eggs, smoked mackerel, and remoulade…. humbly fabulous!
