Lemon Tree in Letterkenny

This is an excellent restaurant. Despite a rather unpreposessing location (looks like it's next to a car park in a shopping centre), the food is of the highest quality, and the service very attentive. The amuses bouches are well executed, and the wine list well thought out (two New Zealand Sauvignons!). We had the scallops and the crab tartlet starters (both very good), and the monkfish & pork belly and hake mains. The monkfish was lovely, the pork belly a bit underwhelming (a la pulled pork) but the hake (not an easy fish to get right) was absolutely perfect. Dessert (salted caramel tart, but more like a pave) was also sublime. Way above expectations.

Only word to describe this place is PERFECTION

We went for our anniversary meal and were so delighted we chose the Lemon tree. The atmosphere was lovely, and despite it being busy, it wasn't too noisy. The waiting staff were very attentive and friendly. The food was excellent. Even down to the butter for the bread! (It was blended with honey and treacle..wow!) We also got mocktails which were so tasty. Would highly recommend it.

So glad we found this restaurant after a quick Google search. Interesting dishes, well presented and above what you would expect. Don't be put off by the location tucked away at the side of a shopping centre. Once you are inside it is so good. My only negative was that they use paper napkins and table coverings. With food as good as they were serving it cound have done with something nicer.

I always visit the Lemon Tree when I'm in Letterkenny. It's a cut above your run of the mill "Steak and Chips" restaurant which can be found in every Irish town. The amuse bouches of Vegetable soup and Courgette tart showcased the chef's talents. I had crispy fishcake for starter and Beef cheek Bourguignon for mains, which was melt in the mouth. I didn't have room for dessert. Believe me, this place is worth a visit and for the quality of food and service, the prices are only slightly more than you pay in your run of the mill steakhouse.

What can way say about The Lemon Tree that has not been already said. Top class fine dining. Superb menu with great service and a fabulous selection of wines. Family run. Great for #GlutenFree options . Booking essential

Amazing service, great food! Richard gave great recs around the town, there weren’t many vegetarian options on the menu but the lady server competently helped us and got out a great ratatouille courgette! Can’t recommend this place enough!

Absolutely outstanding in every way. Sheer perfection. Amazing food and wonderful staff.

Best in the North West! I make sure to make a reservation every time I'm in Letterkenny. Service - flawless. Professional yet not stuffy Food - never disappoints. Seasonal, local and creative. The Lemon Tree never misses
