DISH THE DETAILS…
For some reason, it makes an odd kind of sense that this gem of a restaurant would find itself nestled between a church and a gay bar. There is a sense of it feeling like a focal point within the Galway community. A place for the meeting of minds. Breaking of bread.
kai:
1. (verb) (-nga,-ngia) to eat, consume, feed (oneself), partake, devour.
Kai is the Maori word for food and in 2011 Jess & Dave Murphy opened the door with a simple promise:
What’s in season will be on your plate.
The space is simple; a rustic lunch deli by day and a more elevated, romantic eatery by night. The team exude a cool sense of confidence, effortlessly gliding from table to table in a spot that I suspect is rarely quiet. Battling storm warnings to be there, our meal was the warm hug we needed. Wholesome, hearty, fresh and flavourful. If you are looking for a slice of revitalisation you will find it in the careful and thoughtful dishes in Kai.
