Charlie's West End Cafe in Ardara

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!

We had a great breakfast here. Highly recommend stopping in for local food.

EXCELLENT VARIETY AND GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY. FRIENDLY AND EFFICIENT STAFF. ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO EAT THERE

The right place for a traditional breakfast

I've been going to Ardara for 20 years and love this cafe. Great cafe food. Staff are lovely. Plenty of food for the money. Nothing is a problem and are very helpful. Love the breakfast, plenty of tea and toast. 👌😊

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.

Called in on passing. Ordered a fish supper, fish was fantastic, chips were great, and customer service exceptional definitely worth a visit for anyone in that direction. If Carlsberg made fish suppers, this was probably the best fish supper in the world!
