Boathouse Restaurant in Killybegs

Went to the Boathouse before Xmas with some friends. We all had Halibut which was recommended by the fantastic friendly chef. It was by far the best food I tasted in all of 2024 ! Service was excellant too.

Have been coming here for 4 years. Always excellent and thoughtful fish dishes, and a superb sticky toffee pudding. Took a table of 11(!) on New Year's Eve and service didn't falter at all. Get a patio table in the summer if you can. Wine list could probably be jazzed up a bit.

Without a doubt the best restaurant in Killybegs! One of the best meals I’ve ever had and service outstanding. I had the scallops to start, followed by hake. It couldn’t have been fresher. I would highly recommend this restaurant for all fish and seafood lovers, it is well worth travelling there for an amazing meal. The menu also has plenty of variety if fish is not your top option. Thanks to all the staff for the most memorable evening, we’ll be back!

Excellent food, really nicely presented. Staff were very pleasant. Not at all rushed. Nice atmosphere too

Rarely have I eaten such good fish A visit to this restaurant is definitely worth it.

On the last two occasions we visited, the service has not been to the standard I would expect at a restaurant such as this.

Bruchetta too small Pork belly good but miniature Hake not enough veg Guineas zero not draught 3 scallops starter miserable Chips with steak too small & poor quality Overall a nice meal by 4. Just needs a few extra touches We will be back

Unreal food would be hard to beat. Staff were 5 star. Lovely clean place great modern decor and amazing views

We had been looking forward to visiting this restaurant for some time. Beautifully and simply decorated inside, we were shown to our table. Staff were lovely and professional. We placed our orders and awaited our starters. One of our group had oysters and said they were amazing. The pork belly starter with black pudding bon bons were a treat and the chowder was beautiful with lots of chunky fish and a creamy thick consistency. The pea soup was sooooo 'pea-y' and flavoursome. The mains were tasty-monkfish went down well, as did the gaelic chicken. Unfortunately the order for the surf and turf hadn't been taken down properly and it was brought out as just a steak. The steak was taken away to include the 'surf' which took about 7-8 mins. By which time the rest of us had started on our mains. The steak was also returned as medium, when it had been ordered as a rare. As there had already been a delay, the member of our party ate it (obviously hungry) without mentioning the mistake. All a bit of a kafuffle. The desserts were well received as were the Irish coffees and espresso martini. Despite the mix up over the steak, it was a pleasant dinner and we appreciated the lovely staff. If it hadn't been for the steak issue, we would have been super impressed with our experience.

Group of us ate here. Really nice place, great people and great food. Lovely choice on menu including steak and wonderful choice of fresh fish super people work here
