Boathouse Restaurant in Killybegs

6 of us stopped in for a meal last Wednesday night. Great local restaurant with plenty of well cooked seafood on the menu. The arancini was bursting with flavour and the crab claws were the biggest I’ve seen in years! The restaurant is spotless, warm and welcoming. All the staff were excellent, great to be seeing genuine hospitality that comes naturally on show. Nothing was too much trouble with the service being friendly and professional. Drinks were spot on too!! Thanks to all at the Boathouse, Garry, Gary, Molly - and the rest - we’ll see you again next time!

Simply the best fish I ever had in my life! Great to see and have a quick discussion with the chef after eating his incredible food. Really one of the best restaurants in Ireland!

Fabulous dining experience. Lovely to meet Mairead and chef Garry afterwords. Lovely apartment upstairs also. Overall experience was excellent.

The service was exceptionally friendly and made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. The food was exceptionally tasty, featuring well-prepared ingredients and thoughtful flavors. However, all dishes were quite heavy on the salt, which was slightly disappointing and overshadowed some of the flavors. Despite that, I would still recommend this place if you are in the area, especially for the warm hospitality and delicious menu options.

Gorgeous place, beautiful views, amazing fresh food and great service. Went there a year ago, was completely in love with the food, came back and it did not disappoint. Natalia was so kind, funny and efficient! Chowder and creme brûlée are always my favourites, but everything there is stunning. Will definitely be back!

Another amazing visit when I brought my beautiful wife for an early mother's Day 💐 dinner along with my sister and we'd a lovely meal 🙏.

Had an amazing meal after walking in without a reservation. I'm gluten and dairy intolerant and any thing on the menu could be adapted without a problem. There were a lot of gluten free options. The chef came out at the end of of meal, a simple but nice gesture. Highly recommend

I visited from Dublin with some friends and stayed at the boathouse apartments, which are above the restaurant. Hospitality doesn’t get more hospitable than the boathouse apartments. Every detail has been considered and the space feels like home the minute you walk in. The views of the bay are stunning and possibly the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on. We ate at the boathouse restaurant on Friday and right away you are met with a team of smiling, happy staff, who could not do more to make you feel comfortable (a special shout to Molly, who was terrific). It’s always the sign of a well run restaurant; a team who are enjoying themselves. Every dish was perfect, The hake with samphire one of the best I’ve ever had. I’ve been managing restaurants for years and it’s very rare to find somewhere I can’t fault in some way. Beautiful homely accommodation and one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The boathouse is truly an unforgettable experience for anyone visiting this part of the world.

Myself and a friend had a wonderful experience dining at the boathouse. Front of staff were excellent and very welcoming. I had chorizo and mussels which were delicious and for desert I had Tiramisu, which was to die for. Gary came out of the kitchen to chat with guests which was a nice touch. 5 star all round, can’t wait to return

Had the sea trout for mains - exquisite! My wife had 2 starters. Best food we’ve had in as long as as we can remember. Lovely house wine also!
