The best restaurants in Donegal

06/09/2026: Excellent, welcoming, traditional pub with friendly, dynamic staff. Easy to get to from Malin Head. Fast service and simple, yet tasty food. A couple of gluten-free options are also available. For the price, it's excellent value.

29/08/2026: Great pub. Live music and a pool table!

22/09/2026: Lovely spot. Friendly staff Quality food Would recommend 👍

08/09/2026: excellent and a dream for those gluten free. Loved every single thing we ate.

09/09/2026: The highlight of our Letterkenny trip was our dinner here. From the complimentary appetisers to dessert, the food and service was impeccable. Would go again!

08/09/2026: Once again superb, always with new tastes and very good wine. We'll be back for sure.

22/09/2026: Excellent service, food and venue. Be prepared to wait for a table if you haven't booked, this restaurant is clearly popular. The food quality and presentation is 10/10 even when they are extremely busy! Highly recommended.

21/09/2026: Simply fantastic. Super friendly people, great food. I had the lamb stew. For those from Swabia: expect something similar to Gaisburger Marsch. I wouldn't have expected to eat such a good stew outside of Swabia.

14/09/2026: What a beauitful restaurant . The food was delicious, the staff were so friendly there was 12 in our party, there was no delay in been seated and nobody was left waiting for the meal. A great spot for a particularly nice dinner

13/09/2026: Friendly attentive staff,and delicious food. Will be back

13/08/2026: One of the best seafood chowder i have had. Ate there 3 nights in a row but avoid Wednesday when the pub fare is not available and a pizza company takes over for the night. Unless of course you like pizza but i thought they were rather bog standard.

07/08/2026: Just the perfect Irish Pub. Great bar; lots of small rooms making an excellent, but intimate, atmosphere; wonderful beer and very good food. The service is as friendly and helpful as you will find anywhere. I had the fish and chips with mushy peas which were very good.

10/09/2026: Great Guinness food was excellent, good pub grub. You had to wait a while but definitely worth the wait. No music when we were there, but friendly welcoming staff.

07/09/2026: Exceptional king prawn curry, loads of big prawns in a lovely curry, top marks . Great selection of CROITHLÍ whiskeys

15/09/2026: Rosatos is by far the best restaurant we’ve eaten in on this trip. Great food, amazing service and a quirky atmosphere. 💯recommend

11/08/2026: Booked a table for 14 and landed and they said they thought we said 2. Didn’t even have room for a table of 14. 14 doesn’t even sound like 2. A women stopped me outside saying they did the same to them last week. Got told tonight they turned away another table of 12 after making a booking also! Ridiculous

13/09/2026: Lovely food, portions are very big, almost too big. Staff are lovely and accommodating. Would recommend

30/08/2026: I found Nancy’s Barn on Google Maps while looking for a place to have a late lunch after a day touring the Northern Irish Coast. We are on holiday from the USA and places like Nancy’s Barn are making our trip special. It’s a gem that’s off the beaten path and just down the road from Malin Head. The menu is creative and the chowder is definitely a star (with a rich history). The fish tacos were quite tasty and prepared perfectly - they go well with onion rings. And I really enjoyed the apple crumble to finish off the meal. The staff are friendly and fast. We got to meet Kieran (the owner) on the way out and that made our visit even better. He’s so energetic and nice and really proud of his restaurant. Do yourself a favor and stop here if you’re in the area.

05/09/2026: Very very lovely pub. The food's great and the staff very friendly and welcoming. We came here two nights in a row because we loved it so much! If you're more than 2 people, I would recommend a reservation. Definitely would eat and drink here again.

05/09/2026: We had a very nice afternoon here . There is a nice beer selection. Staff are friendly. The chowder is excellent.

01/09/2026: Disgusting burger €9. 50 and no harsh brown in dirty louisanna burger

30/08/2026: Best hotwings and chicken I got here.. very tasty and quick

11/07/2026: My family and I went for afternoon tea today and we were shambolic and didn’t know where we wanted to sit and were generally being very annoying! So I wanted to say thank you Killian and Emily for their patience with us today! Killian especially had the patience of a saint with us and was so lovely to my mammy who was on crutches and the two young girls we had with us. Thanks for being so delightful to us, we really appreciate it!

09/07/2026: Fabulous hotel. The food is amazing with a great selection for breakfast, cookery demonstration and wine tasting. Staff are lovely and so helpful. Beautiful views of Lough Eske and the Bluestack mountains.
