We had an absolutely fantastic lunch at Simple Simon in Donegal Town! I ordered the vegetarian rosti, and it was outstanding — perfectly crunchy on the outside with layers of creamy avocado, topped with fresh arugula and tangy pickled red cabbage. The sides of roasted beets, feta cubes, and pumpkin seeds added the perfect balance of flavor and texture.
My husband went for the BLT, which was packed with flavor — beautifully toasted bread filled with crisp bacon, a perfectly cooked egg, and fresh salad greens. Everything tasted so fresh and thoughtfully prepared.
They also have a great selection of coffees, which made the meal even better. Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and beautifully presented dishes — can’t recommend this spot highly enough!

I found this little place by chance while stopping in Donegal—a truly wonderful discovery!
The portions are generous compared to average, and you can tell they really put their heart into it. I had the vegetable soup of the day, which was delicious.
I had lunch outside in the internal courtyard, which was very quiet and convivial 🌼

Lovely toasties and scones, good coffee with almond milk, nice upstairs area with a view of the square and sunlight. The strawberry jam wasn’t very tasty a bit commercial.

Visited twice. Disappointed on return. Ordered a salad bowl expected a selection of salads got a rice salad and carrot salad both full of sultanas no pickles as per menu. Complained and got a small plate with more of the same and small amount of potato and beetroot salad. Like ordering an Irish Breakfast and getting a plate full of sausages.
Food quality is good

Great cafe. We were a group of 9 and we were seated instantly and our orders were taken within 5 minutes. The fry’s were great. The reason for 4 stars were the coffees were okay not great and the chicken burger chicken was slightly dry. In saying that, everything hit the spot, the services was great, and if I’m ever back in Donegal in need of breakfast or lunch, I’d be back.

Went to find a dairy-free treat, and discovered a new artist. Sat upstairs and enjoyed beautiful art, tucking into delicious vegan chocolate mousse. Friendly staff. I hear the vegan black forest gâteau is to die for! Definitely plan on going back

Delicious food and kind staff. The waitress was really known with the menu and helpful towards allergies and the exact ingredients of the dishes.

Hermosa Suntrap por la parte de atrás en un día encantador. El almuerzo era bueno, pero deberíamos haber entrado y elegido qué poner en ensalada como no las mejores opciones. El tunamelt no tiene mayo, así que ten cuidado - agradable pero un poco seco. Sus tartas / tartaletas se veían increíbles - volverá a probarlos! cualquiera que tenga los platos calientes se veía súper feliz.
