The best restaurants in Donegal

17/05/2026: Convenient location. Good menu, hot drinks. Outdoor seating available. Good parking. Polite and friendly staff. Relatively fast service. Easy to order and pick up on the Mac Drive-thru.

13/05/2026: Got drive thru. was fast service but chips where half warm half cold and soggy seamed to be reheated.

04/07/2026: Very disappointing. We visited as a group after seeing the 4.7-star rating, but every one of us left disappointed. None of our dinners were served hot. Bella’s chicken was bland with a tasteless sauce, and the chicken and chorizo pasta had barely any chorizo and a strange sweet flavour. The gluten-free choice was also extremely limited, with only one suitable main course. Two of us ordered the apple crumble, yet they arrived looking completely different. One had a crumble topping, while the other had no crumble at all. The 3 staff were polite but young and inexperienced, and on a Saturday night there didn’t seem to be a manager in sight. Overall, we left feeling completely let down and won’t be returning.

06/11/2025: Abrakebabra franchise. Varied menu, clean, good seating area, check out the photos on the wall.

01/05/2026: I was there for the first and last time. The lady didn't have time to make me a coffee. After a while, she made me coffee on the spot, and I asked for takeaway. The service is poor.

24/04/2026: Super little cafe, great food and reasonable prices.

20/08/2025: Great service, very quick turnaround even when busy. Generous amounts of milk with the tea and butter with the bread too.

24/05/2026: I don't recommend it, the worst pizza in Ireland.

12/04/2026: Disgusting. Chicken kebab on bread, bread was soaked with brown juice. Chicken dry, hard and overcooked. Worst kebab ever.

15/07/2026: Never had a bad meal from the chinese

27/06/2026: This place used to be great. But in the last year I feel the food is not up to par. The spice bags which costs €9 was just chips and popcorn chicken ( very dry) No vegetables. AA meal never comes with the onion and mushrooms, even when you ask for them. Disappointing

02/07/2026: The rooms were nice, as was the service! Food, interior, brekfast - no complaints at all!

09/06/2026: Been there just for the breakfast. It was amazing. The staff is very friendly and the decoration is wonderful. We'll be back for the breakfast again and to try the acomodation.

27/04/2026: Don't waste your time, 9pm and no batter or breading for fish , sausage or scampi Takes 5 minutes to make batter if you were bothered Terrible service Since editing the review is my only option to reply to the "Owners" lies There's only 1 AJs in Ballyshannon I know exactly where we were There were 2 women working, we went in grabbed a menu and were told we'd be waiting 30 minutes for food which is perfectly fine When we went to make the order, battered fish, battered sausage, scampi and chips We were told by one of the women that she had no batter or breadcrumbs left and was not making any at that time of night 9pm I don't appreciate lies, laziness or bad service You sir/madam are a lier Don't waste your time with this place when the owner clearly cannot admit to what actually took place and chooses to come on here and attempt to gas light people You could have apologised or even ignored the comment but you chose to lie and gaslight To reiterate ,we were in AJs of Ballyshannon Donegal last night at 9pm and our experience there is 100% what happened

06/04/2026: Gave us the complete wrong order and then refused to deliver the correct items. We had to make a second half an hour journey back to collect, at which point we were disgusted to find that they were planning on giving us the items that had now been sitting out for over an hour. They refused to cook new ones. We are new to the area and this was our first experience of selecting a takeaway in the local area. We shall not be returning and will have to look elsewhere

08/01/2026: Lovely spot. Marking down a star because we rented a wooden pod. The website states: "private patio", which it wasn't, it also states "kettle provided" but the circuit breaker keep tripping every time we tried to boil it, so the power isn't sufficient. Also the parking near the pods should be reserved for pod occupants as they were taken by visitors or residents in the chalets.

02/01/2026: Great time at Wild Atlantic Camp for our Santa visit. Little man loved it 😀

30/12/2025: A lovely family evening with a very good meal is well worth the trip.

27/12/2025: Great food & friendly atmosphere in plush Surroundings

22/06/2026: Stayed here for 2 nights, breakfast is excellant to start the day, views over Bundoran bay, also looking across to the Dartry mountains, there is a golf course beside the hotel, 3 course evening meal excellant, plenty of free parking.

07/06/2026: Booked a two night stay with golf on the Saturday, I arrived at the hotel around 3pm on the Friday to be told that my room wasn't ready. Early that evening I decided to take advantage of the swimming facilities which I was informed they closed at 8pm when I asked at reception, the steam room was out of order was out of service. I finished my swim just before 8pm. I then went to the bar to order an evening meal at 8.20pm only to be informed the kitchen closed at 8pm. I asked what about the restaurant again this wasn't even opened. The bar staff directed me to a vending machine where you could purchase crisps etc!!! I actually had to leave the hotel that evening and go into town to find a restaurant to have an evening meal. I complained to the receptionist on my return about the lack of information of the eating times on my arrival and the inconvenience that I couldn't order food in a 4 star hotel on a Friday evening at 8.20pm. The next morning I went for breakfast which was self service, the waiting staff took my hotel room number and that was the only interaction they had with myself, no one came to my table to offer tea/ coffee or to ask if everything is ok with the service. I checked out the hotel a day earlier than I paid disgusted with the lack of customer service at a 4star hotel!!! Very disappointed guest!! Further note the general manager never contacted me regarding the complaint I left at the reception desk on the Friday evening.

13/06/2026: Staff very rude I've asked for a hot matcha with oat milk , I got an iced matcha after telling is not what I asked for, her face was so rude made the hot matcha but with regular milk not with oat milk soo sad cant even serve u and rude dont go near !

19/05/2026: Very cozy decorations and environment. Lively too. Workers are super sweet and accommodating ,tasty food too even if a little pricy but I feel that was more down to my choice of items . Would recommend the salted caramel frappe highly
