Charlie's West End Cafe in Ardara

Lovely staff and amazing food with good sized portions

Was here on the 14 August 2025 as a group of four the place was so busy but we got a table quick and ordered our food.the service was excellent the food was amazing and quick everyone got their food at the same time which was great I highly recommend this place when visiting Donegal you won't be disappointed. Even the town was beautiful where the cafe is thank you for a pleasant dining experience

Warm, welcoming and very tasty. Can't go wrong here, good menu, super service. Rule of thumb: go to the busiest place in town. This is it. If you're hungry and want to refuel after being outside in a place with a good vibe, try Charlie's.

We've already eaten here twice. They have homemade food and vegetable soup every day, very good. The staff are very friendly. The prices are reasonable.

Fantastic food and people very welcoming. Our family always stop for at least one dinner when staying in the area. Chicken casserole was awesome, fish and chips is always brilliant.

Best fish and chips I've ever had

Amazing, we came here randomly. Generous portions, the taste is here, but the warmness of the people working here is on top of everything. Come here, you will not regret it!

Delicious food, large portions, everything fresh. Very nice service

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our favorite spot in Ardara – tested and approved by Polish holidaymakers! 🇵🇱❤️🇮🇪 We’re a Polish family that comes to Ardara every year for our holiday, and let us tell you – Charlie's West End Cafe is an essential part of the trip. It’s not a real vacation unless we’ve had at least one meal (usually several!) at Charlie’s. The food? Absolutely delicious – fresh, flavorful, and always hits the spot. The portions are generous (no one leaves hungry!), the cakes are homemade and heavenly, and the coffee? Strong and perfect – just what you need after a Donegal walk or drive. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, and the staff makes you feel like family – always smiling, helpful, and up for a friendly chat. Charlie's is more than just a cafe – it's a place with heart. Whether you're a local, a tourist from abroad, or a regular like us, you’ll feel right at home. We recommend it 100%! If you're in or near Ardara and you haven't been to Charlie's... you're seriously missing out!

First customers in on a Thursday morning. No idea what to expect, and the owner welcomed us warmly. We ordered the Charlie's breakfast that had great sausage, ham and "white pudding" along with beans and an egg. Unusual breakfast for an American but delicious. Good coffee, too. The lady chef came out to ask us how everything tasted and we both expressed our pleasure. Family friendly atmosphere. All the customers and staff knew each other. Special place.
