The best restaurants in Donegal

04/11/2024: Good food and drinks in a central location

12/10/2024: Nice cafe. You can make breakfast and eat well. Great employees. You can pay in €, pounds and EC cards. 5 stars from me 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

22/03/2025: Great experience, food was delish, staff were super, friendly and keen, really enjoyed our brunch, couldn't fault it

14/03/2025: If you are at a teacher training day in Dublin West Education center you are strolling here for food. The interior is deceptively cavernous with various sections atwix bar and lounge. The lounge decor is nice Irish pub style. Food is decent but they get busy at lunch so there might be a wait for the teas and coffees.

27/03/2025: Lovely breakfast ciabatta & veggie one too! The carrot cake & coffee were delicious… highly recommend. Staff lovely & friendly, place clean etc. Can’t wait to go back 🤗

24/03/2025: Nice place, nice menu. Terrible tea. It was grey and undrinkable. Mediocre food. Wouldn’t be in a rush back.

04/04/2025: Stoped on route from letterkenny to killybegs on a Thursday evening at 6.00pm. Couldn’t get over how busy the hotel was. I had a fab chicken Maryland , a dish that is making a welcome come back. That come back is now, this hotel does it with perfection. My partner opted for the vegan burger and to be honest there are better ones out there but they have assured us they plan to make their own as from next week. We will be back to check. Great clean hotel , staff were tuned in and switched on. Definitely worth a visit.

03/03/2025: We went for my mothers birthday dinner today. Staff are so polite and helpful, even lighting the fire for my folks. Food was 10/10 . Steak was cooked to perfection. And very reasonable price. Loved the hotel/restaurant.

12/12/2024: Epic pies from this gem behind the The Diamond. Top notch Ital-grade pizza—great crust and sauce cooked properly. Lovely truck and excellent friendly chef!

15/10/2024: The pizza was delicious better than one I got in Italy. The chef was really friendly and helpful. I will definitely recommend to family and friends

14/09/2024: For a Friday night it was dead. Only a few people in. I'd one drink then left.

11/07/2024: Weekday touring Buncrana and stopped in for a quick pint as an out of towner. The place was spotless and the bartender was quick to give me service. Nice spot and would visit again.

12/04/2025: The food, and location are great. Lots of screens to watch matches/ sport .

31/03/2025: Food and entertainment top class. Very friendly staff.

21/03/2025: Outstanding food, atmosphere, and service. Superb desserts. Highly recommend! Right across the street from Apartotel where we stayed...also excellent.

18/03/2025: Very generous cuisine! Excellent value for money. I recommend for a typical Irish experience ☘️

24/03/2025: En: We love Mexican cuisine, it's really delicious here, tacos deserve your attention, the only downside is that a couple of times they forgot to put guacamole in my takeaway order, even though I paid for it, I noticed it at home and didn't want to go back for it, so check your orders on the spot Ru: We love Mexican cuisine, it's really delicious here, tacos deserve your attention, the only downside is that a couple of times they forgot to put guacamole in my takeaway order, even though I paid for it, I noticed it at home and didn't want to go back for it, so check your orders on the spot

06/03/2025: Decided to have a Burrito Locco Takeaway this evening for the family. Couldn’t get in contact by phone, (continuously ringing and no answer), to order ahead and decided to call in instead. My husband waited 20 minutes before order was taken, as to be fair the place was very busy. When we opened the takeaway it could only be described as awful. The three burgers were cold and the chips were so overcooked that the only place for them was the bin. Have had takeaway from Burrito Locco before and was good, but to serve what was given out this evening was just unacceptable even when busy. Extremely disappointed .

05/03/2025: Cheapest fill up I've seen that week.. 👌

01/03/2025: Grand all spot service was helpful and fast food is good what more could you ask for

25/12/2024: A very classic Irish pub, with great music and a great Atmosphere. If you have the time, do pop in for a drink.

13/09/2024: Quaint pub with great live music.

06/04/2025: Friendly staff, a pool table, Gaa and great food.

01/04/2025: Great bar and restaurant food was great we all enjoyed our variety of meals. Staff were so pleasant and couldn't do enough for us.

15/01/2025: Wonderful pub doesnt serce food. darts, pool, duke box, live music.

29/09/2024: Unreal pub owner is lovely. We will sure be back the next time!

07/04/2025: Well done to Robert on his absolutly amazing refurb of the Tara Hotel. The wow factor and some. Roberts' vision and direction, with the support of his dedicated manager Dymphna and all the staff, has come alive like a magical nautical and almost gilded visual magnificence. There is something to ooh and AHH about in every nook and cranny. The attention to detail from the outer facade to the toilet facilities is a sight to behold. The menu selection plentiful and anyone who has visited their sister pub The Rusty Mackerel 'In-Thru', can expect the same award winning service, and I am sure that The Tara will be as successful during awards season as The Rustys' array of successful endeavours. The locally sourced produce guarantees fresh and flavourful mouthwatering nourishment, and of course the seafood is sensational. I highly recommend the prawn and monkfish gratin. A special mention for the seaweed brown bread and the onion rings, those bad boys are out of this world. The chicken and chorizo pasta is as fine as you'd get in any Italian eatery. I've been eating in the Tara for many a year now and my most recent visit was like stepping into a brand new world. I can imagine that this place is going to cement Killybegs on the foodies map, in a town with a lot of culinary masterpieces, The Tara literally and figuratively shines through 🌟 Best of luck to Robert, Dymphna and team, wishing you every success ✌️💚🌟

31/03/2025: Lovely new hotel in the heart of Killybegs.

16/04/2025: First timers and 3 generations had a bite to eat here after over 2 hours in Tropical World. We had cooled down whilst waiting for the children to run themselves ragged in the covered but outdoor play area. On entering the cafe, it was warm and inviting until we spotted people leaving a table and went to make a move to get it and were informed of the queuing system for a table by a staff member and a couple in front of us who would get the table. We waited probably about 5 minutes for another table to be vacated: it felt quite long with 2 children aged 6 and under who were hopping from one foot to the other. In the meantime, we ordered a latte €3.50, cappuccino €3.50, 2 fruit shoots (€1.50 each), one chocolate brownie €3, one coffee cake €3 and a slice of lemon meringue €4.95. Coffees and tray bakes were very good but star of the show was the lemon meringue which was DIVINE. Overall, I thought here was quite reasonable given the climate. We thawed out, warmed up and got our sugar hit and rolled out of here. We would return maybe for some quiche next time and definitely some lemon meringue 🍋😋.
