The best restaurants in Donegal

18/11/2025: Awesome stuff! Great “craic” with an excellently poured Guinness! I did the seafood chowder and it was incredible. Highly recommended!

16/11/2025: Great spot for refreshment and food after walking around Malin head.

30/11/2025: The restaurant was absolutely gorgeous — elegant, warm, and perfectly inviting. The food was outstanding from start to finish. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor, clearly made with fresh ingredients and real care. Customer service was just as impressive. The team was friendly, attentive, and professional throughout our visit. A special mention has to go to Richard, whose warmth and enthusiasm made our experience even more memorable. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Obrigada, Ricardo! Overall, it was a flawless dining experience — exceptional food, wonderful service, and a stunning atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a special night out.

15/11/2025: Fabulous food from a local favorite. Lovely interior yet comfortable. Family run and friendly. The lamb and beef were beautifully spiced with great vegetables. Charming potato sides. Vegetable soup was delicate and rich. Priced well for the quality of food and experience. Looks so normal from the outside! Parking is in an old structure across the street.

20/09/2025: Great pub, hospitable owner, just like an Irish pub should be, with its interior, charming little lounges, and relaxed atmosphere. Tip: For those who are tall or large, mind your head as you enter the pub with a slight bow.

07/09/2025: Holy cow! Who would think that a bar, a bar way in the hills, would produce such incredibly good food. I'd give it 6 or 7 stars if I could. It is worth the drive. A real destination restaurant. Compliments to all the staff that made our dinner for 40 so unbelievably good. Two 👍

08/11/2025: Everyone there was lovely. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was unbeatable. Would love to come back again.

29/10/2025: We love the chowder, it's the best. And the desserts are delicious. Plus, the staff was very friendly.

19/11/2025: Beautiful restaurant using local produce, really friendly, professional and helpful staff. Would recommend highly as we eat here often. Recently attended their Long Table event- superb food & wine. Maith sibh.

17/11/2025: Was recommending the Narrow quarter by a friend that recently moved to the area and it did not disappoint! Menu was great lots of lovely options. The service was nice and friendly and the food was really delicious, I had the sea bass and it was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be back again :)

27/10/2025: Grand spot. Restraunt by day and pub by night. Good service and great food in a relaxing setting. Booking needed when it's busy

04/11/2025: Beautiful little cafe on a wee side street. Always visit here with my cousins when i visit home! Beautiful interior, fresh baked goos and foods & friendly staff. What more could you ask for! A must visit if passing through Rathmullan.

27/10/2025: Gorgeous bakery, we got coffees and bakes as take away. I had a cheese and ham croissant and my husband had a Bakewell and fruit tart. Beautiful bakes! We were in a rush but if we had time we would have sat i, the dining room was really lovely with nice seating and a nautical theme.

20/11/2025: Absolutely amazing, fantastic experience 5⭐️

19/11/2025: Just a spectacular hotel nestled in the Bluestack Mountains. I've always wanted to come here and it doesn't disappoint. We have a Lakeside Balcony room with the most peaceful and tranquil view of the lake. The food and the service are superb.

22/10/2025: Nice pub. The bartender is funny and really helpful. The decoration is interesting. And the Irish coffee is really nice.

12/10/2025: The most incredible, the most beautiful, and the warmest of all the pubs we discovered throughout our road trip in Ireland. This one is a true gem, the owner's former house, which is actually a series of small rooms worth visiting, each one retaining its old-world charm, with knick-knacks, a piano, an old desk, period photos, and more. A true gem ♥️

12/09/2025: There was a place across the street at the time that had way better food, service, atmosphere & decor. Dom's Pier 1! Hopefully it reopens! This place was decent, I found it less in comparison but still a good meal. Its flashy on the outside so I guess that attracts people. The meal at Doms had way better value for the money though & the man serving us seemed to actually care, which is rather hard to find in Irish restaurants!

11/09/2025: Amazing, value for money. Outstanding food. The host, Shaun & his staff are a credit to the hospitality industry. Customer service is second to none.

03/11/2025: Always a super meal and pint here - crab toes are a must!

30/10/2025: We stayed two nights at Seaview Tavern during our Malin Head trip, and it was just perfect! The room was clean, cozy, and had a lovely sea view. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious, and the bar downstairs had a great local vibe, we really enjoyed our pints there each evening. The staff were so friendly and attentive, and Mike, the owner, is simply amazing - always around for a chat and full of great local tips. A true Donegal gem with genuine Irish hospitality. Highly recommended whether you are visiting Malin Head or exploring the Wild Atlantic Way. We will definitely be back!

04/12/2025: Stepped in for a bite with a vegan pall and wasn’t disappointed. Patatas bravas and wings nice. Lots more choice so will defo be returning
