The best restaurants

26/05/2026: Fine traditional Irish bar, small log fire burning (a rainy day in May). Fine pint of Guinness.

24/05/2026: Lovely family run bar in lower Main Street of Buncrana Has a unique interior with every wall decorated with wine corks There’s a couple of bars inside the pub and a nice outdoor beer garden with nice flowers and shrubs They have music on weekends and we saw a couple of good singers and band grew during the night as more musicians turned up and joined them as happens in good Irish pubs open in the day till late

17/08/2026: Food was delicious and very well thought out Wine explained and very good too lovely fish gougons and real chips for children A good venue wish them well

15/07/2026: Excellent experience! I had two starters, which were more than enough for me, and both were absolutely delicious—the crab salad and the scallops were outstanding. Of course, I still had room for dessert, and the dark chocolate pavé with raspberry sorbet was the perfect finish to the meal. The service was excellent throughout—attentive, friendly, and very knowledgeable about both the dishes and the wine, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. If you’re ever in Waterford City, be sure to treat yourself to this fantastic restaurant. Highly recommended!

28/04/2026: they are the best in speed and kind and quality food I don't think there is anyone in Monaghan better than them, they are the best

21/04/2026: What to write here, the food is very good, I sincerely recommend

09/09/2026: Delicious food, always so fresh and tasty.

25/08/2026: Unprofessional staff, we went for meal, not really welcomed, won't recommend

30/07/2026: I stopped in just to see what it looked like and ended up ordering a bowl which was amazing. I have no clue how those flavor combinations came together but it was delicious. The food came out very quickly even though there was a family that had ordered before me for takeaway and in no time it was done

28/07/2026: Nice food abit slow to serve us but that’s ok I think they could update the chairs just seem very flimsy

27/09/2026: Popped in on our west coast tour a couple of weeks ago.... Excellent

26/09/2026: Guy with blue glasses that worked the till was very rude. We walked out instead of waiting for a table as we were not made to feel welcome at all. It was disappointing as we were really looking forward to trying the place and had waited a year to go.

07/09/2026: Great nights entertainment, food is absolutely gorgeous and friendliest of staff

11/08/2026: Great might out. Good food a plenty of fun having a bet. Looking forward to going again.

06/08/2026: Overall, this is a lovely place to visit but there’s some missed opportunities: The items in the shop are very expensive - as a family with 3 kids we are the target audience but nothing is enough value for money to buy anything (eg a non branded sheep for €16.60 - if this was a Jellycat for €25 you might do it). Maybe other tourists are buying but I’m not sure. A farm shop section would be amazing too - bread, milk, local produce. Secondly, when we visited, it’s mostly families or people with an older demographic but the music they’ve got on is 00’s pop, dance and rnb. It just doesn’t cater to this audience whatsoever and creates a busy, hurried vibe. It needs more chilled out, folk and ballads that are more in-keeping with the stunning surroundings. Finally, they’ve got a wasp problem which is really annoying. They could easily get some wasp traps. We’d have stayed longer if not for this. Otherwise, it’s definitely worth a visit and the staff themselves are lovely and helpful.

10/07/2026: We were passing through and didn't stop, but we would have liked to because the place is super beautiful 🤩 there's a sauna, a playground, mountains, a lake, a forest with a waterfall, it's perfect 10/10

13/09/2026: Very good pizza, and I ordered hot sauce, which was also excellent. Nice place.

11/09/2026: Extremely wonderful place. Very chilled out, ambient music, very reasonable and satisfying food. Absolutely fantastic staff. I will be returning again. And I do recommend this place for anyone, who wants to try a good pub grub with a hint of finesse.

04/08/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars – A Hidden Gem on the Cooley Peninsula! Ferguson’s Bar & Bistro in Gyles Quay is an absolute must-visit. Whether you’re calling in for a meal, drinks, or an evening of entertainment, it never disappoints. The food is consistently outstanding—beautifully presented, full of flavour, and made with quality ingredients. Every meal we’ve had has been exceptional. A special mention has to go to Edelle, who is simply the best waitress. She is always so warm, friendly, attentive, and nothing is ever too much trouble. She goes above and beyond to make every visit enjoyable and is a real credit to the team. If you’re a cocktail lover, you have to try the frozen coconut martinis. Ruari makes the best we’ve ever tasted—perfectly balanced, refreshing, and dangerously moreish! The atmosphere is fantastic too. Friday night bingo is great fun with plenty of laughs, and the live music creates such a brilliant buzz, making it the perfect place to spend an evening with family or friends. Ferguson’s has it all: fantastic food, amazing cocktails, first-class service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We always leave looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended! 🍸🍽️🎶

02/08/2026: Great place, great food and the Guinness was even better

11/08/2026: A great spot for a little lunch. I had a BLT. Would def return , good service too

31/07/2026: You think a cheese and ham sandwich is a plan choice wellll.. not in this place nothing added nothing removed absolutely delicious would highly recommend

19/08/2026: Very good pizza; a carafe of water was served with the meal (unfortunately, as everywhere else we've had in Ireland, it was chlorinated). Very friendly service and a very cozy atmosphere.

16/08/2026: Excellent cappuccino and delicious desserts! To start your day off right!

01/06/2026: A bit dated, but we were only there to sleep. The staff were always incredibly friendly, but the food in the restaurant was very mysterious, and the staff seemed overwhelmed and helpless for many people. Breakfast had everything you could need. Would gladly stay again.

31/05/2026: I cannot speak more highly of Vijay. He was so obliging with caring for our athletes staying in the the hotel. Supplied us with ice with no issue. We arrived back late & we were never felt unwelcome he was a very good host. He was managing the bar on his own & we were never made to feel nuisance.

22/08/2026: Never a bad dish here. Fabulous food. Great service, friendly staff. Best takeaway in town.

06/07/2026: Drove out from edenderry to try this restaurant and it’s on another planet to the places we have

14/07/2026: Here every morning. Katie is amazing.

22/06/2026: The coffee was absolutely amazing, and the cinnamon bun was packed with flavour. Some people might find it a little on the dry side, but I loved the delicate layers and the rich cinnamon taste. Definitely worth a visit!
