Aniar (; translating to "From the west") is a restaurant located in Galway, Ireland. This upscale dining venue earned its first Michelin star in 2013 and has successfully upheld this distinction ever since.
The Michelin star was initially awarded under the leadership of head chef Enda McEvoy. Following his departure in 2013, Ultan Cooke took over the kitchen and preserved the star for the 2014 rating. Subsequently, in June 2015, owner JP McMahon stepped into the role of head chef after Cooke left, continuing to maintain the restaurant’s Michelin recognition that year.
