Sheridans Cheesemongers

Top choice in Galway City


Heavenly aromas waft from this fabulous cheesemongers filled with superb local and international cheeses. But the real secret is up a narrow flight of stairs at its wonderfully convivial wine bar. Sample from an Italian-influenced wine list while nibbling on platters of cheeses and charcuterie.
