The best restaurants in Donegal

27/08/2026: This is one of the few places in Donegal where you can get a cup of professionally brewed espresso or pour over coffee made from high‑quality specialty beans. They have good equipment, and their baristas are very professional.

19/08/2026: Omg the absolute best açai bowl I’ve ever had and I’ve been to Hawaii multiple times and Brazil !! Coffee is absolutely delicious too!! I highly recommend!! The açai bowls you can choose as many toppings as you wish.

11/08/2026: easily best fish in chips I've every had amazing chips light crispy batter with buttery fresh fish

08/08/2026: Ideal place to enjoy Irish food. Delicious two-course set menu or à la carte. Excellent roast beef! Great value for money and very friendly staff. I would definitely return.

08/08/2026: We have been coming to this restaurant for many years, and it has become one of those local places we know we can always rely on. Whether it’s a casual midweek meal, a busy weekend visit, a family celebration or a larger gathering, the food and service are consistently excellent. Over the years, we have also attended family occasions and funeral gatherings in their private function rooms, and the team have always handled everything with such professionalism, warmth and care. When you are organising an important family occasion, having somewhere you know will look after everyone makes such a difference. The food is consistently good, with plenty of choice, generous portions and a standard that never seems to change no matter how busy they are. The service is equally impressive, friendly, attentive and efficient, with staff who genuinely make you feel welcome. After so many years and so many different occasions, we continue to return, which probably says everything! A fantastic local restaurant with great food, wonderful service and a team who know how to look after their customers. Highly recommended.

02/06/2026: Fabulous breakfast & outstanding coffee. Well worth a visit

14/05/2026: Great breakfast, the coffee was excellent as well

28/08/2026: Finally, a friendly and welcoming reception from the staff and the owner at this pub/restaurant! Fresh, hearty food, nothing to complain about 🙂

16/08/2026: Great service and spectacular food, as always 😋😋😋

18/07/2026: That was the best chicken i ever had. Perfect amount of sauce and chips were legendary too. Cook was really friendly and appreciative. Overall extremely happy with service.

17/07/2026: Absolutely outstanding barbeque, I'd argue it's the best in all of Ireland and served by the most friendly guy. The brisket and burnt ends were out of this world as well as the sauces and sides. Lovely sitting area beside the brewery makes for a great meal with delicious food and pints. If you ever find yourself in Letterkenny this is a stop you need to make

11/08/2026: A beautiful place, both inside and out. Excellent local cuisine and a very welcoming atmosphere.

03/08/2026: Lovely bar/restaurant just off the main road. Food top class, and great atmosphere

14/08/2026: Can't rate this tea room highly enough. We stopped for a break on our motorbike tour of Ireland, the coffee was hot, the flapjack delicious and the apple pie and custard was declared 'out of this world' amazing. The young man who was our waiter made the whole experience even more pleasurable, he was unassuming, thoughtful and nothing too much trouble. He showed interest in where we were from and where we were going. An absolute star. Thank you for making our tearoom experience so memorable.

05/08/2026: Lovely food and wonderful staff and a friendly owner.

03/08/2026: A beautiful spot above the beach, with brilliant service and good quality lunch menu to boot. Thank you girls

24/07/2026: Amazing! Great burgers and toasted sandwiches and very friendly service.

19/08/2026: Have to give today’s experience a negative review. I have visited Mountaintop Diner before and had a good meal. Today unfortunately was a bad one. We arrived just after the lunch rush so it was not too busy. Lunch order was a bowl of soup and a lunch special, goujon wrap. Waited 40 min. for these 2 items. Veg Soup was terrible. Goujon wrap had 1 piece of chicken. Wrap was barely filled. Was given a 10% discount because of the inconvenience. Won’t be returning.

16/08/2026: What you would expect in a "diner" type setting. Nice busy spot with lots coming and going. Good food, good choices, but nothing to OTT fancy. Burgers, Sambos, curry, pasta, a broad mix

15/08/2026: Good night out and Guinness goes down well great music and dancing

10/08/2026: Highly recommended. Great live music every evening. Mixed crowd (locals & tourists).

12/07/2026: Great food, but the day we went was a hot day. The restaurant was stiflingly hot and they seen to have a problem with insects. We all spent the whole night sweating and trying to fend off hoardes of hungry flies. Spoiled it for us. At the end we were glad to get outside for some cool air and to get away from the flies. Shame as it's such good food. Please invest in a fly zapper or something.

06/07/2026: The food is absolutely delicious!!

25/07/2026: Wonderful experience, staff where very attentive, the food was delicious. We will definitely be back 😊

01/07/2026: Lovely restaurant with beautiful full length windows which let in lots of light. Plenty of parking at restaurant Delicious meal here this evening. Very pleasant staff.

12/08/2026: Great service, fresh fish and a very generous portion, veg perfect. Don't normally post but this restaurant is great. Simple, clean and friendly.

08/08/2026: Has to be the best cafe in county Donegal. The breakfast is unreal. Staff are all very friendly and well trained. Wonderful.
