Simpson's Bar & Restaurant in Carndonagh

Great place. Character and good service

Exceptionally delicious food!! Highly recommended

During our recent trip to Inishowen, my family and I had the pleasure of dining at Simpson’s Bar and Restaurant, a well-known and highly recommended spot in the area. With a history dating back to 1911 and a charming collection of antique showpieces, the restaurant offers a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Despite being a busy place, the service was impressively quick and efficient. The food lived up to its great reputation. We started with Taco Chicken Tenders, which were incredibly crispy and fresh. For the mains, I had the Crispy Italian Chicken, which was packed with flavor—the roasted pepper and tomato sauce added a delicious kick to every bite. The portion sizes were generous, making the meal even more satisfying. The kids’ menu was also impressive, both in portion size and taste. I was pleasantly surprised by the chicken curry with rice, which had the perfect blend of spices—so good that I couldn’t resist trying it myself! To top it all off, we indulged in the cheesecake for dessert, which was absolutely delightful and made our experience even better. Overall, Simpson’s Bar and Restaurant exceeded our expectations and truly lived up to the praise we had heard from the locals. We left with full stomachs and happy hearts, knowing we had made a great choice. If you’re ever in the area, this place is definitely worth a visit!

We had a Lovely Valentine's meal there.. Food and service alway 100%

Went there for a wake just after Christmas and the food and service was brilliant.

The carbonara is so creamy and the service was quick and The atmosphere was beautiful

The squid Starter was excellent. Very fresh and tasty. A little spicy kick with the jalapeño sauce but not too spicy. It was a perfect combination of flavors and not too heavy of a meal. I ordered this as my lunch. My daughter had the kids battered cod and chips and also very fresh. The batter was excellent. Very generous portions on the kids meal. We also had the Irish breakfast here and it was excellent. I highly recommend this place for great food, great service and a very cozy spot.
