The best restaurants in Donegal

21/08/2026: Early evening visit, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff

20/08/2026: There aren't many restaurants in the area, so we were all the more surprised when we walked in. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and a good selection of food and drinks. The food we ordered was excellent, the coffee was very good – we were completely satisfied. The price-performance ratio was absolutely perfect!

19/08/2026: Absolutely delicious fish & chips! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming.

14/08/2026: We’re on holidays nearby & when I asked locals where we should eat we were collectively told The Narrow Quarter. So we’d dinner here the other night & it was fantastic!!! Our daughter said it was “yummy delicious” which speaks volumes. I also wanted to say how inclusive the child’s menu was, as it had visuals of the food which allowed her to order for herself which thrilled her & us to bits! On the back of the “yummy delicious” we called back in today for breakfast & it was superb. My only complaint is we’ve to go home today 🙂 But next time we’re passing you can guarantee we’ll be back in. When you’re on holiday & don’t know the area It’s such a time saver knowing where the food is consistently good! 10/10

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.

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.

14/08/2026: It's rare for me to review anywhere these days but this gem in Buncrana deserves it.

08/08/2026: We were a mix of vegans and omnivores. Amazing food, generous portions and absolutely lovely staff. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this restaurant.

19/07/2026: With my friend I visited the Donegal, and had a meal in the restaurant. We were served by Sean, he was friendly, and knowledgeable about the dishes on offer. I had the steak with garlic & potatoes, it was the best steak i have ever eaten in years. When I return to Donegal, and I will, I will dine in this restaurant again. Friendly service by the waitresses, thanks to all the team, especially in the kitchen on a hot day.

10/07/2026: Nicest meal I had in Donegal. Service was very good. Food was excellent. Highly recommend the cheesy garlic bread as a starter and either the seafood linguine or garlic steak for a main.

21/08/2026: This is a gem of a place. Great food, staff are very friendly and helpful, there's trad music and dancing on a regular basis

14/08/2026: Was early and was in for pint with some Italian friends . So it was quite and for me gave time to look around the walls at some fabulous photos. #clannad

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

28/07/2026: Unreal rustic pizzas, great menu and prices. Place was jammed. For a Monday night boys. Gary, Muff.

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

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.

14/08/2026: Great service from a dedicated crew, it was very busy but they found me a table for one very quickly. I ordered their famous Chowder and I was not disappointed. Very generous amount of fish in the stew, tasty and very colourful. Chased down with a pint of stout...A real Irish meal...Thank you

10/08/2026: I tried seafood chowder for the first time and was thrilled. I highly recommend this restaurant.

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.

05/08/2026: Very friendly staff, clean environment

04/08/2026: Extremely fast service and tasty food. Really enjoyed our meal here in Letterkenny. Staff were very pleasant and helpful.

22/08/2026: A lovely restaurant with delicious food. The curries are very good with plenty of flavour. Relaxed, staff are friendly, easy-going atmosphere and a nice place to for either a take out, or sit in.

22/08/2026: My favourite Indian restaurant in Ireland! Will return time and time again.
