The Butterbean Restaurant in Carndonagh

30-Nov-2025: had lunch today. Staff as excellent as ever. Food was really good. Note: The specials board never includes prices; it really should. Downside to my visit was a table with around 5 kids who were allowed to wander around the restaurant shouting at each other; climbing on the back of the partitions, and whacking christmas decorations with a pen. Their mothers sat there chatting, not caring about other customers having their lunch. A staff member did at one stage ask a little boy to go back to his table, but he was up and about again in 5 minutes. Overall, I do enjoy the restaurant and will return occasionally. Nice staff, and comfortable surroundings. Had the Roast Beef lunch special. Would probably revisit when I'm Carndonagh again. Its been a while since my last visit. Standards are still high. Just had the full Irish breakfast here today. Really tasty and filling. Good value for money. Sunday 3-Mar-2024 UPDATED: Phoned today around 11:45am to ask what time they started serving lunch, only to be told by the young lady, after she asked another staff member, that they don't serve lunch on a Sunday. Doesn't sound like a good business model. Came to Google to update my review only to find another review giving feedback on their lunch last Sunday!

Nice lunch and good value for money with great service

Food was ok but for the price I felt there should have been some vegetables. €24.95 for a slab of meat with mashed potato and sauce was crying out for some nice colourful veg. My wife’s dish ( veg curry) looked and tasted like the sauce was out of a packet.

Beautiful food,very friendly staff and excellent service, I would highly recommend the Butterbean.💯

Every time we have been the service and food have been beautiful - thank you

Very good food. Had the lamb burger (daily special). Also had full irish breafast fry the following morning which was very good.

We came here for dinner with our three young kids. They were very accommodating for our family, very kid friendly. Service was fast.

Stayed in Cardonagh for a night and had lunch and breakfast in butterbean. All food top class and the place is very clean. Would definitely recommend it. Thank you for a lovely service
