Sophie’s Rooftop Galway

Located on the rooftop of The Dean Galway, Sophie’s brings “New York energy, Italian soul” to the city, combining downtown Manhattan restaurant culture with the convivial spirit of Italian aperitivo. From breakfast with a view and weekend brunch to golden-hour cocktails and dinner with friends, Sophie’s is designed for every part of the day.

Their menu is built around seasonal Irish produce through the lens of Italian hospitality. Enjoy 72-hour sourdough focaccia with rosemary and extra virgin olive oil, Yellowfin Tuna Crudo, handmade pasta and wood-fired pizzas. Standouts include the Mortadella Pizza with pistachio pesto, stracciatella and pistachio mortadella, Seafood Linguine with prawns, mussels, clams and white wine cream, and Sophie’s Chicken Parmigiana. For dessert, the Tableside Chocolate Mousse is finished with olive oil and salted caramel, while the Limoncello Meringue Pie is made with Sophie’s house-infused limoncello.

The cocktail menu takes inspiration from Italian aperitivo culture, with creative serves including the Triciclo, made with Prosecco, Cynar, San Pellegrino and grapefruit soda, the raspberry and lemon-infused Lamponi, and the Swing Drop Martini featuring homemade limoncello, Cocchi Americano, and Malfy Limone with a sugar sour rim. For those looking to skip the alcohol, the Zero Boozini menu includes refreshing serves such as the Alba Spritz with Tanqueray 0.0%, elderflower, apple and lemonade.

One of Galway’s most recognisable rooftop destinations, Sophie’s has been refreshed with a new identity across its Dublin, Cork and Galway locations. With sweeping city views, an all-day offering and a lively atmosphere, it’s a stylish spot for everything from a leisurely breakfast and brunch to cocktails at golden hour, dinner and drinks with friends.
