Fara's Restaurant and Wine Bar
Ballybofey-stranorlar
22/08/2026: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely unbelievable food. I got the nachos with taco mince and they were honestly some of the nicest nachos I’ve ever had. Perfectly done, loads of flavour and, best of all, they weren’t ruined by throwing a load of fancy stuff, onions and all that shite on top 😂 Just simple, proper food done absolutely perfectly. I could genuinely eat them for the rest of my life.
The chicken tenders were also amazing — perfectly cooked and full of flavour.
On top of the food, the hospitality was brilliant and every member of staff we dealt with was so friendly and welcoming. Couldn’t fault a single thing.
Thank you very, very much. We’ll 100% be back!
30/07/2026: Great gluten free options!
Stopped off for some food in the town, and tried the bar in Villa Rose.
Staff were so friendly and helpful, and gave us huge confidence that there was no cross contamination in the kitchen.
Plus the food was delicious !

Ahoy Cafe
Killybegs
15/09/2026: Haddock Tacos 🌮 — Ahoy Café, Killybegs
When you’re eating this close to one of Ireland’s biggest fishing ports, ordering the haddock feels like the right move.
Beautifully fresh haddock in a light, crisp batter, loaded into soft tacos with fresh salad and a creamy, slightly spicy sauce. The fish was the star — chunky, flaky and cooked perfectly, without the batter overpowering it.
Fresh, simple and exactly the kind of lunch you want on the Donegal coast.
Ahoy Café, Killybegs — go here now

An Grianan Hotel
16/06/2026: Very nice hotel in a great location. The staff are very nice. The rooms are comfortable. The food is great and there’s lots of nice nature walks nearby.
07/05/2026: A very beautiful and interesting hotel, especially the chapel with its small museum showcasing various Celtic tales. It deserves an extra star.

Allingham Arms Hotel
Bundoran
13/07/2026: Stayed in this magnificent hotel a few months ago everything was amazing, rooms was spotless clean I can not say how gorgeous it was, going back soon, 🇮🇪
14/06/2026: Difficult to rate accurately. We only stayed one night. However, there's a clear need for renovation. On the way through the dark hallway to our first room, I remarked to my wife that it looked more like a two-star hotel. And that's exactly how the room felt. After an upgrade, we got a room with a sea view in a renovated section. Breakfast was okay. I'd advise against booking the brightly colored rooms. It was still okay for one night, but lacked a welcoming atmosphere.

The Taproom Rathmullan
Rathmullen
27/03/2026: The hotel has a great location however the nightly rate of €300 B/B per night I thought was over the top for the standard, the hotel is tired and needs some upgrades
05/01/2026: Beautiful place to stay. Food excellent.
Staff very attentive and friendly.
Only thing that was lacking was the Christmas decorations inside and out. It was between Christmas and New Year we stayed a few days.

Smugglers Creek Inn
08/07/2026: Lovely sea view and great customer service. Opportunity to sit inside and outside. Food and drinks was good.
20/06/2026: Superb location. Party of 6 with 2 guests fussy about seating arrangements. Staff very accommodating. Samples of red wine provided. Food served after about 30 mins. If busy expect much longer. Worth the wait except for prawn dish which one guest thought to be chewy. Decent Guinness and some 0% alcohol options. Well definitely be back.

Chandpur
Donegal
20/09/2026: Pathetic services, the guy on the reception(manager maybe) is so rude and didnt attend us well.
They declined to offer the table by saying that we dont provide tables if you are only ordering samosas.
There were so many tables available but he declined to give us a table. So we had to take away our food.
Gave no tissues or chutney
If I had an option, I would have given minus(-) five stars for the services.
DONT COME HERE IF YOU ARE HERE IN DONEGAL
14/09/2026: My husband and I found this restaurant an absolute gem. The service was polished, the recommendations were spot on to suit what we would like, and we were not rushed. We set a reservation for 6:15 on a Monday and had no problem getting in. We walked 3 min from the Abbey Hotel. We enjoyed the bottle of Pinot Noir wine from New Zealand and especially loved the garlic and cheese naan. We were so impressed by all the awards the restaurant had won, and enjoyed the food, flavors, atmosphere, and service immensely. A highlight of our trip to Ireland.
