Tartare Café + Wine Bar

Tartare Café + Wine Bar Tartare is a café + wine bar in Galway's Westend, serving natural wine in a cosy atmosphere. Local Irish food, artisan sourdough & Wild Atlantic oysters.

Tartare is a new cáfe and wine bar located on lower Dominick Street in Galway's Westend. By day, it serves the best sourdough sandwiches, soups, organic salads and coffee. By night, it transforms into a hip wine bar focusing on organic, biodynamic and natural wine. The food offering at night changes too, with plates of oysters, Dexter beef, pickled fish and cured meat and artisan cheese boards. Great for a nibble and a glass of wine or something more substantial.

Full Statement:
Press Statement from JP McMahon & Drigin Gaffey, Eat Galway

It is with sadness we must announce the closure of our café and wine bar, Tartare, on Dominick Street in Galway. Over the last five years Tartare has been an outlet for our culinary creativity by being a younger sister to Aniar and being awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand, a hub of social connections through the hospitality our team are known for and a promoter of local arts communities through our Theatre Talks and Wine and Design series.

The lease at the premises was coming up for a rent review which became a catalyst for us to refocus our attention.

JP: Running our three restaurants has been difficult since COVID-19, and I particularly found the shortage of good quality chefs challenging. Energy and labour costs have spiralled in 2022 and the sustainability of our business is challenging. With having the other two restaurants, running Food on the Edge, alongside other commitments, I felt we had to consolidate and focus on the bigger picture.

Drigin: Tartare was a passion project and we are proud of what we achieved in 5 years. I will particularly miss the cultural events we ran there. Of course it is always sad when a business closes but we have other passions we want to focus on. I am happy that we have been able to integrate the Tartare staff into our other restaurants.

Alongside running Cava Bodega and Food on the Edge, JP will be focusing on creating new experiences in Aniar and building on his new consultancy services, while Drigin will continue to develop her life coaching business and manage the operations and finance functions of Cava Bodega.

Tartare will close on Dominick Street, Galway on September
4th.
