The best restaurants

17/07/2026: Really excellent food accompanied by good wines; a really enjoyable evening. We started sharing the Crab Caesar Salad and the Scallop dish - both really tasty and inventive. Main of lovely John Dory followed. Great service from a lovely team. We highly recommend and we'll be back

14/07/2026: Wonderful spot for dinner and a drink. Great food, service and ambiance. The food, from the starter to the desserts were outstanding for our group of four.

10/06/2026: The desserts are delicious, only the seating area is cramped and small.

01/06/2026: It has the best espresso in Dublin

08/08/2026: Great pub. They had a fund raising event happening when we popped in with friends. 🎾⛳️ & a rodeo bull out the back!! It was brilliant & absolutely packed with people. I ordered a pizza from the mobile van & it was gorgeous. Great night.x

10/07/2026: You'll never beat this true local Irish bar, for the craic and banter😍

27/07/2026: Lovely little hide away cafe. Very reasonably priced food with exceptional service. My wife and I will be returning on our next visit to Ireland

24/07/2026: I highly recommend this place. The food is delicious and beautifully presented, the atmosphere is lovely, and the staff are very friendly. I have never been disappointed whenever I’ve visited. They also have a great selection of cakes, and the coffee is excellent too. ☕🍰 Thank you! 😊

18/07/2026: A fine burger, but the location and atmosphere make a return unlikely for me.

15/07/2026: 5 June 26 - we found this through a search and were delighted to eat here rather than trying to find somewhere to park in Letterkenny proper. This is so much more convenient. Don't be put off by the location, through an industrial estate. // Katsu Chicken Burger - very tasty with good sauce; Gambas Pil Pil - tastes as good as it looks in my pic; Donegal Steak Sambo, and sweet potato fries. // Also discovered 'Football Special' non-alco drink for the first time (check the internet for that too). // Very good quality, well cooked, and very tasty. We would have gone for breakfast when we moved on from the area to our next rental, but they don't open Tuesday & Wednesday.

08/06/2026: Rock bar with pool tables always a good atmosphere when I'm here. Open till late throughout the week Recommended

06/06/2026: Great place to go for a night out any night of the week

20/07/2026: Appalling service. Average food. Would never go again.

20/07/2026: It's a cute place, but our waiter took a very long time to come up to us. We came in when there were 3 groups other than us, so it could not be that the place was busy. She just avoided us for no reason. She then had trouble hearing us (despite it being very quiet) and each of us had to repeat our order several times. Our food took an extremely long time to come and arrived cold, bland, and badly made. I ordered calamari and received rubbery at best, mostly shriveled, calamari inside over fried and overly oily batter. Not a speck of the promised seasoning was on it. One of our party ordered mashed potatoes and received fries instead too. We ordered 6 oysters as well and got only 2 of them. Overall a very disappointing experience, and I think we were right to leave no tip.

03/05/2026: Lovely carvery with excellent food and service. What impressed me most was how accommodating they were with someone who came in with limited mobility.

14/04/2026: Delicious Sunday lunch. Great service. Plenty of choice

03/07/2026: Not good, frozen food I believe, just being honest

03/07/2026: Delicious food and excellent service!

23/10/2025: €16 for a 9” pizza Charging different prices at the till to which is advertised on the overhead menu. Definitely not recommend

22/10/2025: €18.60 for a 7 inch pizza and a drink enough said a big board when you come in with different prices as to what they charge ridiculous

04/08/2026: Huge portions,wholesome food,very tasty , very obliging staff..

27/03/2026: Lovely food, fast friendly service. In a lovely casual environment. Budget friendly

05/08/2026: Just I wait the food I think it’s the best food very very delicious 🤤🙏🏻💯💯

14/07/2026: Best Italian food in the town. Try their desert.

28/05/2026: The best Bruschetta Caprese I've ever eaten! The antipasto was also delicious and fresh. Very authentic Italian cuisine. I went back to Passatempo for lunch today. This time I had the Ragu Bolognese and it was simply outstanding.

26/05/2026: I’m Italian, I have been living in Ireland for 3 years so far, traveled everywhere and this it the first authentic 100% excellent Italian food. Feels like home

14/07/2026: Great breakfasts and good food! The girls Lisa and Ali are so lovely in the cafe, always so welcoming and great service

03/07/2026: We had a lovely breakfast, service was friendly and nothing was a problem, lovely place

26/06/2026: Unfortunately we are forced to leave a bad review. When we first arrived, we were seated immediately at a front table by the window, and it seemed like it was going to be a great experience and meal. After we ordered our food and drinks, we were served bread and waited for our appetizers (one caesar salad and three chowders). After about 20 minutes, someone came by to ask us if we wanted another round of drinks and some more bread, to which we passed on the drinks and agreed to the bread. After about another 25 minutes, our server came over to say that the kitchen had overlooked the ticket with our appetizers on it, so it would be another 15 minutes or so until our appetizers arrived. As a family who owns multiple restaurants / is in the industry, we tried to be understanding, as we know what it is like to be a busy restaurant on a Friday night. However, once the appetizers finally arrived, there were fish bones in the chowder, and the soup was unfortunately average. After about another 30 minutes, and our entrees were not anywhere in sight, we asked when we could expect our food and were told “it will be coming out soon”. By this time, we had been at our table for about an hour and 40 minutes, and the manager/bartender offered to buy us a round of drinks to appease us. We passed on the round of drinks and asked when our food could be expected. She told us that it was “being plated just now”. Again, we waited about 15 minutes and our food had not arrived. At this point, we asked for our bill and said we didn’t want to wait for our food anymore. The bartender apologetically brought our check over, while continuing to blame the kitchens error, however, did not comp any of our drinks or appetizers. The whole experience was extremely disappointing and we would not recommend wasting your time, or spending your money here.

17/06/2026: We had a lovely dinner at Ashes. Fish was fresh & delicious, service was friendly and wine selection was excellent! I would definitely recommend.
