The best restaurants

07/09/2026: What a fantastic experience at the Rusty Mackerel! 🌊🍀 Nestled at the foot of the breathtaking Slieve League cliffs, this is the perfect place to soak in the beauty of Donegal while enjoying great food, drinks, and authentic Irish hospitality. 🏔️✨ One thing we really appreciated was the considerable amount of space available, along with a convenient car park 🚗, making it easy for visitors to stop by and relax without any hassle. For our mains, we ordered the Traditional Fish & Chips 🐟🍟, the Rusty Mackerel 🐠, the Fisherman's Pie 🥧, and the Chicken Burger 🍔. Every dish was delicious, generously portioned, and clearly made with quality ingredients. The seafood in particular was fresh and full of flavour. We also enjoyed a few pints of Guinness 🍺, poured to perfection with that authentic creamy taste you'd expect from a traditional Irish pub. A unique touch that stood out was their iconic practice of painting a design on top of the Guinness foam 🎨🍻, which added a bit of fun and character to the experience. It's great to see that they've also introduced accommodation options 🛏️ for visitors who want to stay longer and truly experience the traditional Irish pub culture. With live music happening every evening 🎶🎻, it creates a fantastic atmosphere where locals and tourists can come together, enjoy the craic, and make lasting memories. Excellent food, great pints, friendly service, live music, accommodation, ample parking, and an unbeatable location beneath Slieve League. The Rusty Mackerel is a must-visit when you're in Donegal. We'll definitely be back! 👏😊🇮🇪🍺

06/09/2026: We stayed at the Rusty Mackrel based on a recommendation and found it to be brilliant, the room was a bit small but fine for a short stay. We had dinner there and the food was top notch, freshly prepared and quality ingredients, our waitress Ava made sure my wife had the exact food she needed for her dietry requirements. Very impressive, I had the fish and chips which was delicious. We then had a few drinks in the bar and again the staff were friendly and professional. The prices were ok for a tourist destination and I will be returning as theres lots more to explore in ghe area. I have no real negatives to say but I personally recommend the Rusty Mackrel as a brilliant plase to experience

It’s definitely one of my favourite places to eat in Swords. Highly recommend it to anyone who loves good Indian food at a great price! ❤️

10/08/2026: Five stars all around. Popped in for late lunch / early dinner for a family of four this evening and we were greeting by friendly staff and a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food was delicious - the menu is extensive, including lots of gluten free and vegan options and great mocktails. Highly recommend the open house chicken burger!

10/06/2026: We were warmly welcomed and greeted. We spent a week at Rolf's Countryhouse and felt completely at home. The room was lovely and equipped with everything we needed. The property is very quiet, so there was absolutely no noise – pure relaxation. Breakfast was perfect. Dinner was also fantastic. In short: we will definitely come back again. Warmest regards, Michael and Bianka

22/05/2026: Great food. The breaded fish is delicious.

09/08/2026: Really nice coffee and fresh scones.

22/07/2026: Just ok to be honest. Not a single leaf of lettuce or vegetable available on any breakfast. I've ordered a full breakfast made of eggs and bacon only. I've got one egg and one slice of bacon. It didn't stop them from charging me 12€ for it. No one on this place knew what poached egg is🙃 staff was very friendly in fairness.

13/09/2026: They served my dinner, never received any cutlery.The time someone came by and I asked for cutlery my dinner was luke warm.Very disappointed, never asked was my dinner ok, felt like only a number there.Would I go back, definitely not.
