The best restaurants in Donegal

02/11/2025: Great experience altogether! We did the (Halloween) jail break solving puzzles and opening many locks. Our jailer did a fantastic job keeping an eye on us, leading us along without giving too much away and adding a bit of history at the end. And although the kitchen was about to close, we were able to sit down with a quick snack and lovely cappuccinos and hot chocolate (trying to escape from a jail cell makes you very hungry). We say thank you to all the staff to give us this fantastic experience!

28/10/2025: We had a great time at the Halloween jailbreak (we were pretty useless but we had a great guard!) fascinating authentic and fun! Great food with a licensed bar too - all very reasonably priced. Free parking. Highly recommend! 1adult & 3 teens all thoroughly enjoyed! Thank you!

19/10/2025: Lovely food. Great atmosphere. Lovely setting. Service ok. Efficient pleasant but not overly friendly. One Negative. We were given the bill but hadn’t asked for it. Felt being rushed out. Lots people still there and no one wait for our table.

17/10/2025: Tasty and reasonable with great customer service.

01/09/2025: Great food and good price lots of street parking 👍

12/08/2025: Lovely country estate house that has been refurbished beautifully inside, food in the nearby restaurant was fantastic as was breakfast in the morning. They were a bit short on staff, probably as quite quiet to reduce overheads, but they were all fantastic and really friendly.

03/08/2025: We recently stayed at Rockhill for one night, having been influenced by the many positive reviews on Google and Booking.com. Unfortunately, our experience did not align with those expectations. Our check-in time was scheduled for 3:00 PM, but we arrived at 5:30 PM after returning from Sliabh Liag. Despite arriving well past the official check-in time, we were still made to wait for an additional 45 minutes before receiving our room keys. Upon entering the room, we found the bathroom had not been properly cleaned—there was a used razor left behind. Furthermore, only one set of towels was provided for two guests, and there were no tissue papers in the room. The sleeping arrangement was equally disappointing. Although we had booked a double room, the bed consisted of two single mattresses pushed together, resulting in an uneven and uncomfortable surface. The hard mattress edges made it difficult to sleep properly, and the overall night was restless and uncomfortable. The following morning, we were asked to wait another 15 minutes for breakfast, which we did not mind. However, my husband’s Eggs Benedict arrived with a strand of hair in the food (photos attached), which was extremely off-putting. To the staff’s credit, they were courteous and did apologise for the inconveniences. However, by that point, the damage had already been done. For the price we paid for a one-night stay, the overall experience was disappointing. The only redeeming qualities were the hotel’s scenic surroundings and the aesthetically pleasing decor in the reception and waiting areas. Regrettably, we would not recommend this property based on our experience.

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

22/08/2025: A great pub with a great atmosphere. Shows lots of sport and has traditional live music. Has a beer garden out the back. Is enjoyed by young and old. Relaxing during the day but can get very busy and noisy in the evening at weekends but that's not a bad thing. Staff are always very friendly.

21/04/2025: It's one of the best bars around. Great atmosphere and the service is excellent. It's worth a visit. Amazing Guinness, too. All round great pub.

13/07/2025: a great stop lots on offer sometiing for everyone highly recommend

31/10/2025: Ordered takeaway from Zee Zees absolutely delicious! The pastas were amazing, portions generous, and the reusable containers were a great eco-friendly touch. Fresh, tasty, and highly recommended!

19/10/2025: Great staff but really struggling to see how this place is so highly thought of. The pizzas we got were absolutely awful.

23/07/2025: Great wee local pub with fantastic food.

20/07/2025: Lovely little gem. Unassuming at first but lovely staff and great food.

20/08/2025: A bartender named Garreth is the most rudest man ever. Shocking. My step mum came to letterkenny for the night and asked for his name as he was serving us so she could leave a good review and he just kept giving her dirty looks and refused. Fair enough. Later on that night my step mum accidently knocked her pint over and he sighed and gave her another dirty look, she asked for a tissue and he completely ignored her and went on to serve other people. My friend had to go around the bar looking for tissues to clean it up as garreth clearly cant do his job. Weird man.

14/08/2025: Brillant hotel. Every part of the hotel was spotless. Room was well decorated and very comfortable. The staff on reception were very friendly and helpful. Food and staff in the restaurant were great. Will definetly book here again.

09/09/2025: Lovely Establishment 🥰 Great Spot For Lunch / Dinner 🍽️ Delicious Dishes & Excellent Service! I Definitely Recommend 👍

01/08/2025: We had gluten-free lasagna. Delicious. We were surprised that the menu said "Homemade gluten-free lasagna."

23/09/2025: Lovely folk running a cracking diner. Great for an early morning Irish fry, pot of coffee or a nice wee tea!

28/06/2025: Can be hit and miss here. Sometimes the food is great and other times your sorry you've went. Recently had a burger from here that was quite nice. However the kebab in a small pitta pocket was pretty miserable.

10/09/2025: Was in for breakfast as paying customers and asked about the health spa and felt so belitted by member of staff will never be back. Nothing from Managment.
