The best restaurants in Donegal

29/09/2025: Good banter at the bar. Decent to watch sports and good pint

10/09/2025: Visited the Railway Bar on a lads golf trip to Buncrana and had a fantastic time.....lovely Guinness and staff looked after us very well.

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

21/10/2025: Very good Chinese food! We had the chow mein and the duck! We forgot to take pictures we were so hungry and it was so tasty!

30/08/2025: Tourist trappings for hotel guests. Not a pub anymore. It's only open for tour buses. Impeccable on the inside but there is nothing authentic left.

16/06/2025: Quaint pub, an evening with cool live music brilliant

07/12/2025: There is parking outside but it’s a bit hit and miss if a spot is free; there is a big car park at Slevins so you could park there and walk back up. There is a step up through a manual door. On entering I was greeted by a very friendly and polite lady who took my order. I was told I’d have to wait about 15 minutes which is about the norm. There were three people waiting for orders and several people came in to collect orders and the phone didn’t stop ringing with people who had the sense to ring ahead. It was nearer 25 minutes before I was called for my order but judging by how busy they were you could understand why; I had my kindle so I was happy. They put a piece of cello tape to keep the box lid closed/ secured and wrapped and secured the bag around the boxes; nothing was going to slip or spill out whilst I was driving home. I opened the box to see a good portion of chips but also a HUGE piece of battered fish. Also Inside the bag was plastic cutlery, sachets of vinegar/ ketchup/ salt and serviettes. I really enjoyed my fish and chips, can’t fault it. Definitely worth the wait but I’ll probably call ahead next time.

05/10/2025: Sometimes, it’s the simplest of dishes that are hard to get right… Take that age old takeaway favourite, Fish & Chips, for instance… intentions are usually good but invariably gets served as some insipid tasteless piece of is-it-or-isn’t-it-cod with a mediocre batter on top of a congealed mush of soggy chips. Sound familiar?? Enter AJ’s in Ballyshannon. The chips (…and they were PROPER chips) were plentiful and that lovely combination of fluffy centred and crispy outside, and perched on top of this potato perfection was a slab of the finest flakiest fishiest feed, swaddled lovingly in a blanket of the tastiest crispiest batter this side of Batterstown! I can’t begin to describe the joy that deep fried fish can bring, all that it was missing was being wrapped in a sheet of yesterday’s news. AJ’s are definitely doing fish the way fish should be done, light and lovely… I’m not codding! Treat yourself to a day off cooking with a takeaway the way takeaways are meant to be taken away. 15/10 for crispy coddiness!!

26/10/2025: Fantastic food and great service.

18/10/2025: Lots of options, always fantastic quality and staff are amazing. Probably the most consistently good Chinese in LK

18/07/2025: Food was delicious 😋 I did wait quite a long time for it .

26/04/2025: On purchasing a family meal deal which included pizza, garlic bread, chips and Popcorn chicken and a bottle of drink, on collection I was presented with a 500ml bottle, I'm not sure how a family can share out 500ml between them total cost €27 I then had to buy 3 cans costing €6 extra , total cost €33 Inc recycling fee, note the bottle and cans did not contain the return symbol to get the deposits back. Food was ok but feel I was ripped off by a sneaky move!

16/11/2025: A very comfortable hotel - slept really well both nights! It is in a great location for exploring many beautiful places in Donegal. Breakfast was fine - a small selection of cereal, fruit, juice, yogurt and then the usual cooked breakfast of fry, scrambled egg etc to order. The receptionists were very friendly. A few other reviews mentioned the road and our room was on the roadside but I can't say that I heard much traffic, its in a rural location so even on a weekend night there wasn't much going on so it wasn't noisy at all. I would stay here again; the only negative comment I have to make is they could do with cleaning their windows both inside and out!

19/10/2025: Wonderfully comfortable hotel in county Donegal in Ireland. Friendly staff and reasonable rates. I took this hotel as I had a flight from Donegal Airport and there was a bus stop just outside the hotel to the airport. Bed is very plush and soft and the hotel is clean and good service. Breakfast is included as well.

16/08/2025: Gets Very busy . Food is cheep and alot of it . Pizza is best choice all freshly made . Sit in is available for no more then 6 .

06/08/2025: Superb food takeaway. Very friendly. We got kebab superb, Madras chicken curry, awesome and lovely and spicy and fresh tasting. Chips were good - chipper style, not too oily but nice and crispy and decent potato feeling. Chicken goujons were awesome and the chicken nuggets were surprisingly high quality. Like McDonald’s But a little richer feeling in chicken quality. Peshawarri naan was also good quality. Can’t complain it was nice and tasty and fresh enough tasting (wouldn’t be a master myself in that regard; but it was good enough.)

12/10/2025: Very tasty fast food. Nice friendly and helpful staff.

01/10/2025: The food was absolutely disgusting from this place and I'd never eat from here again,pure and utter disgrace

05/10/2025: My partner and I were here over the weekend. Food was amazing wonton soup delicious and the spring rolls are fab. Look like battered sausages but taste delicious. Had main courses and they were delicious highly recommended.

11/09/2025: One of the best steaks I was ever served.

20/05/2025: This was one of the best hotels on our tour, and we had great ones. The rooms were cozy and elegant. We were treated like royalty and self service laundry facilities were available. I wish we could have stayed a second night.

20/05/2025: It’s a beautiful place! You feel like a princess in that castle. The rooms are very spacious and lovely, and the bathroom floor is warm, so it’s super comfortable to walk around barefoot. The service from all the staff is excellent. And the massage we got at the spa was extraordinary!

29/08/2025: Fancied a Chinese and this was quick service and both the chicken chow mein and chicken in black bean sauce were a good size portion and tasted great

22/08/2025: tasty fresh ingredients great Chinese takeaway.
