The best restaurants in Donegal

27/03/2026: Was overcharged. Scrambled eggs 2 sausage tea toast i normally pay €7.50. But was charged €10. As a regular customer I not be back. And it's not the first time it happened. So if your paying by card make sure to check before leaving.

03/03/2026: Beautiful fish and chips tonight-this restaurant never disappoints-and of course great service with a smile from Adele

08/08/2025: While on our honeymoon in Ireland, Ireland by Bike suggested we dine at Yellow Pepper. So glad we did, the atmosphere is so cozy, the food was amazing. We had the opportunity to meet the owner Kieran who is a gem! Chris and Kerrilee

05/08/2025: Visited Letteykenny in Ireland for a short break, had seen reviews. Definitely have to book so popular. Lovely options to choose from. Decided to go straight to the main, I had the lamb shank special of the day, The lamb just fell off the bone, buttery mash with good selection of vegetables, some as purée,and a tasteful jus to bring it all together. My husband had the cod with fish pie, a beautiful chunky piece, definitely a hot pie with creamy mash. Both our plates were completely cleaned. I had the meringue with fresh fruit and compote, meringue crispy and chewy just the way it should be. A lovely atmosphere in the restaurant. Staff were very attentive and polite. Very good value as well. Would definitely recommend The Yellow.Pepper

23/09/2025: Great for the price. Location can’t get much better! Lady working the front desk was kind.

16/09/2025: Spent 3 days at this Inn and love it. They even put a fridge and microwave in the room for us. The staff and owners couldn't do enough for you. And the Trans night is a must

10/02/2026: From start to finish top class service was great anything you wanted was.not a problem food was beautiful and very well priced

31/01/2026: My mother's favourite place to get fish and chips, decent price and great portion size too

20/10/2025: Great for cocktails. Can't comment on rooms as didn't stay here. Nice wee seats outside. Great location in centre of town.

15/10/2025: We stayed at this hotel due to it being "wheelchair accessible" (it wasn't) i rang in advance and was told they were a wheelchair friendly hotel. 1st off to get in i was met with a step that i needed help to get up and down. Someone had to hold the doors for me as they were too heavy to push/pull, the lift to get to the room was big enough for me and 1 other person. Room was quite dated and the carpet was a struggle for me to push about on (that was even with help from my motor mover), the bathroom had enough space to turn my chair but did not have handles or any help aids around to assist with using the facilities. The shower was not wheelchair accessible but the staff brung me up what looked to be a standard chair so i cud shower (with help from my husband i got moved from my wheelchair to the chair) i could not reach the shower controls so my husband had to adjust them as needed. I couldn't see in the mirror in the bathroom as it was too high & the sink was a struggle to use. I did go to reception after arriving and they stated that the room was what they called a family room and had the bigger bathroom to accommodate a wheelchair although it did not house anything to aid the wheelchair user. As it was only for 2 nights and because i had my husband and daughter with me to help, we made do, If myself or another wheelchair user was there on their own they definitely would have struggled severely and would need constant help from staff. The staff are great and couldnt do enough the food was 10/10. It is very well based to all attractions, shops and beach with parking outside, price was reasonable its a pitty it wasnt designed with wheelchair users in mind, hopefully in the near future the hotel will meet the standards to fully accommodate wheelchair users.

10/05/2026: Absolutely amazing food, steak on the stone was the best steak I have ever tasted, highly recommended that you visit this restaurant if ur in Donegal Town.

03/05/2026: Super Dinner and fantastic service

06/03/2026: The most beautiful fish I have tasted! Visited Dunfanaghy from Derry with my family. We had takeaway. The staff were just so friendly and polite. The cafe itself was lovely and warm on a beautiful but cold day, and it had a lovely warm atmosphere too. A great menu if you don't like fish, my son had chicken goujons and loved them but the fish was stunning. Thanks all at An Chistin x

15/08/2025: Service with the biggest smile. Martin is an absolute joy, so friendly chatty and funny. Lovely coffee and chocolate brownie and a bakewell tart.

26/04/2026: First class Hotel very comfortable, spotlessly clean,friendly staff ,excellent restaurant foods delicious

04/04/2026: What truly stands out about this hotel is the wonderful hospitality and helpfulness. Emily and Mark are a very friendly, funny, and open couple who have created a very cozy atmosphere in the hotel and restaurant. Dinner is perfectly fine, and the atmosphere is the main factor that makes it all the more enjoyable. Thanks to its proximity to the beach, nature lovers and surfers in particular will be delighted.

25/03/2026: Had a lovely meal here with a group of six. Very friendly staff, in particular the owner who we had great chats with. Food was reasonably priced and portions were a good size, the views are lovely. Cosy spot for a meal while also having a nice bar area. Overall a gem of a spot that we really enjoyed.

10/01/2026: This is a takeaway only place. They do have some seating outside and can be seated based on weather.

06/01/2026: All great..lovely efficient staff

27/10/2025: A very homely wee cafe. Eggs Benedict was very good and arrived very quickly. Service was friendly and fast. Couldn't ask for more at these very reasonable prices.

18/09/2025: Have a Good day everyone! Looking for a place to eat deliciously and have a great time? Everything here is simple, yet interesting, and most importantly, heartwarming! The cooks, waiters, and staff do a very difficult and routine job so that even the smallest bread crumbs taste incredible. Thank you for your hard work, which earns us respect and a desire to return again! You can bring your pets here, and you don't have to worry about anything else. Yes, you can use Aldi's parking, but that's not a minus, but rather a plus! Overall, it's a very good place. I recommend it!

19/09/2025: I had such a great experience ! The burger was fresh and delicious, full of flavour, and the shawarma was juicy and so yummy. My son is usually very picky with food, but even he loved it .and that says a lot! The whole family enjoyed the meal. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to. Highly recommend! The best think I like as mom ,the kitchen and the shop is very clean, normally I do t eat outside but I really love to eat or order from here 😁

15/07/2025: Hello. We’d like to share our disappointing experience at your café. We approached a staff member (not sure if they were a cashier or a waiter) to ask about the price of the tiramisu. Unfortunately, they didn’t know and just ran off saying “one moment” — we ended up waiting for about three minutes while they were gone. Eventually, they came back and told us it was €3 for a portion of tiramisu served in a plastic container, around 200 grams. Sadly, the dessert was very disappointing: it was hard in texture, had an overpowering smell of alcohol, and the taste was unpleasant — we couldn’t finish it and had to throw it away. Moreover, no one told us if we were allowed to sit anywhere, so we ended up eating on a worn-out bench in the shopping centre. We also had to ask for spoons separately. Overall, there was no proper service and the quality of the food was extremely poor.
