The best restaurants in Donegal

01/02/2026: Cash only but they can process Revolut if needs be. Honestly the best Chinese Takeaway I've had in years. I ordered Sweet and Sour Pork, Spring Rolls and Chips. All top drawer. Quite simply the best Chinese Takeaway food I've ever had in Ireland if I'm being honest. Side note - beware the Kaifeng of the East! (Nothing to do with the restaurant!)

21/11/2025: Absolutely delicious roast duck. Friendly, attentive service. Great atmosphere. Good prices. Highly recommended.

01/02/2026: We were at the hotel 24 th.of January. Lovely place,nice food,the bar staff and expecialy one young waitress her name begins from A........,can't remember some foreign name,lovely girl she is in the right place,very professional,we really felt welcomed.Good memories from this place.

08/01/2026: Had a fabulous stay here...staff were super friendly and the food was perfect the room was very clean and well furnished thank you for a wonderful break

18/09/2025: Great cafe, good food, great service, a bit too loud atmosphere for me

17/09/2025: A great place for fresh seafood with a few gluten-free options. Jealous of my sister’s fish taco but the crab and avocado sandwich on gluten free bread was great. The unexpected find of a bit of cling film in my sandwich was quickly rectified by their gracious staff. Accidents happen. Highly recommend.

16/11/2025: Great place for a good meal. Very large servings, and service was brilliant.

03/11/2025: Popped in here today for a bite to eat and found it to be top notch. Service with a smile, food came out quickly and was excellent whilst reasonably priced. I really enjoyed the grub, good home style cottage pie, really tasty. Would definitely visit again if in this neck of the woods.

04/01/2026: We had food here last Monday 29th December in the front bar/lounge across the road from the bay. Absolutely superb. Food was excellent, great value for money and service was extremely fast for our large group of 17 diners. We had not booked in advance, and our arrival of such a large group was handled efficiently, professionally and we were made to feel most welcome. A worthy alternative to The Bridge Bar, where we would normally dine over Christmas while at home in Fermanagh/Donegal visiting relatives. Well done!

03/01/2026: A lovely venue for country music and dancing

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.

19/10/2025: Fab. Lovely food. Setting. And service excellent. Very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely night and highly recommend.

12/09/2025: Very good Italian restaurant, great service. The pizza and pasta were excellent. I highly recommend it.

27/08/2025: Family run Resturant, Staff Welcoming,Great selection on menu for dinning in or taking out.Seating inside and out,central to all visitor attractions.

13/01/2026: Very tasty fast food. Nice friendly and helpful staff.

27/12/2025: i came from miami just for this

17/06/2025: Busy busy busy but this small eatery was well worth the wait - absolutely delicious chicken pie and Quiche but served with a lovely mixed salad - very reasonable and very tasty. Will definitely be back and would recommend - remember it was busy but that's a good sign

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 🍋😋.

05/12/2025: Chicken Nuggets and Chips Was Delicious I Bought It For Delivery Today 5th December 2025 The Delivery Driver Is So Friendly and I Had A Medium Meal. I Would Order Here Again.

01/08/2025: Popped in to Have Chips and a Tea ☕, before a visit to the Regional Culture Centre. It was a nice and quick service and always good to be there. For My Latest Visit I got a back on the Menu Pork Rib Sandwich with Chips and a Tea and the Item is still Great Since it was last on the Menu and well Recommended.

09/01/2026: We stopped into Roses for some food when passing and visitors to the area, we arrived 15 minutes before the restaurant area was open so we allowed we would get a drink in the bar while we waited. The staff brought down menus to us and took our order really quickly, which was appreciated. Food came really quickly, very tasty and real good portions. Cosy bar and restaurant. Would definitely return if back in the area. Highly recommend.

02/12/2025: We called in on passing for food, it's a cosy wee bar, fire lit, upstairs restaurant was surprising, food was tasty and friendly staff, would go back.

27/10/2025: We thoroughly enjoyed our evening here. Staff were friendly and welcoming and atmosphere was cosy and ambient. Great selection of background music, not too loud. Food was delicious, fresh and full of flavour. We both had starters and a main and we were not disappointed. A lovely Sunday evening in Carrigart 😊

23/08/2025: Sadly a very disappointing experience. Ordered a roasted butternut squash risotto. What I got was rice in cream and cheese with carrots, potatoes, courgettes, peppers, onions. Vegetables were steamed not roasted. Extremely odd!

17/12/2025: My fiancée, myself and our 2 friends had a lovely meal together at a very reasonable price. We went with the midweek offer, 2 course meal deal with pint/glass of wine €25. Everyone was very happy with their pastas, pizzas, focaccia, chicken wings. I even made a special request which I was more than satisfied with - I had been waiting 10 years for someone to grant my wish - Calzone Bolognaise not at all easy to make but it was beautiful. Very friendly service and very obliging. We have been before and we will definitely be back. Zezze’s are doing all the right things and I wish them the very best going forward. Also very nicely decorated for Christmas 🎄

25/11/2025: myself and my friend ann marie ate this evening absolutely beautiful food great service and owner so friendly definitely be back

11/01/2026: Tasty late night pitstop for some takeaway food to soak the pints up

16/09/2025: Very nice food and for good price would recommend
