The Olde Glen in

Some of the best food I have ever eaten - a must vist for anybody appreciates good food!

Been looking forward to this for a long time and it didn't disappoint. Ciaran sweeney tended to each and every plate before they went out with artistic flair. His team work tirelessly and with no shouting that i sometimes see in open kitchens. The food is world class. Cormac and floor staff were fantastic. Gorgeous destination restaurant, attached to my Grandads favourite bar. Make it your business to book and go.

Fantastic meal at Olde Glen Bar. Couldn’t fault it. Food and service 100 per cent.

Definitely the best meal I have ever enjoyed in my life . Wonderful staff who clearly enjoy their work . Amazing food , beautifully prepared and presented . We shall try and return sooner rather than later . I was so impressed

Possibly one of the best restaurants in the country. Food and service was amazing.

I went here tonight for a meal with my mother. We both agree it was the best dining experience we've ever had. Upon initially entering what appears to be a small and quiet bar, we were directed through to a busy restaurant, and were warmly greeted and promptly shown to our table. The decor was warm and homely, yet stylish and very tasteful. The service was excellent- warm, friendly, polite, and attentive. The waiters and waitresses were alert and made sure to clear the table well before the next course. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection, a blend of modern, and traditional Irish cuisine. The many and varied flavours didn't overwhelm each other and could be appreciated individually, and we particularly enjoyed the almost turf smoke flavour to some of the meat and vegetables. We weren't expecting the bread (you could pick one of two different kinds), the three delightful amuse-bouches, or the selection of mignardises after our dessert, of which you could choose any one you liked, and so it's safe to say that although it was a fine dining experience, we left the restaurant full and satisfied. It was also a treat to watch the chefs at work. It's clearly a tightly run ship, but with a great atmosphere in the kitchen also. I don't write reviews often, but the Old Glen Bar definitely deserves 5 stars. It has everything that so many restaurants now unfortunately lack, which is an excellent standard of cooking with consistent quality throughout the meal, and properly trained staff to boot. My only two very minor gripes would be the use of "guys" a few times by the staff (we just find it brings the tone down a bit. Folks is fine, ladies would be great, but it definitely wasn't used to the extent it's used in other restaurants I've been to), and perhaps the music could use some nice traditional songs mixed in to suit the atmosphere. But then again, it was so low and very much in the background (which is a huge plus), that we didn't mind at all. These by no means detracted from the excellent experience we had, and we will absolutely be recommending this restaurant to out friend and family. A real gem.

From the moment you enter the restaurant till you leave you’ll be overwhelmed with the overall dining experience. I don’t want to spoil it for you but what you order on the menu is only part of what delights await you. This restaurant cannot be faulted. I can promise you that will be back here again and again. Oh and as a bonus the attached bar has the locally produced Kinnegar Scraggy Bay craft beer on tap. It’s an absolute must to try if you never had it. .

My partner and I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Olde Glen Bar & Restaurant, and I can honestly say it was one of the most memorable experiences we've had in Donegal. From the moment we arrived, we received a warm welcome and were shown to the cost dining space. Every dish felt like a love letter to Irish ingredients, beautifully prepared and full of flavour. From the freshest seafood to perfectly cooked meats, everything was a delight. We shared a few plates, not wanting to miss out on anything, and each bite was better than the last. Beyond the incredible food, what made the evening truly special was the service. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They made us feel like old friends rather than just guests passing through. If you're looking for a place that delivers not just a meal but an experience, one that lingers long after you've left, The Olde Glen Bar & Restaurant is it. We’re already planning our next visit!

Great gastro pub to go to after glenveagh national park

What absolute gem. Dined here as a party of 7. The attention to detail that goes into their dishes is amazing. I strongly recommend the scallops (the best I’ve had) and the duck for main. Great friendly warm atmosphere. We stayed next door in Clara’s cottage. Warm, modern and very comfortable. Can’t wait to return.
