Steppers Bar & Restaurant
An clochán liath
28/04/2026: 5 stars in every way! Super friendly staff and a diverse Irish menu. We tried everything from appetizers to dessert and can recommend it all.
The next day we wanted to eat there again, but the kitchen isn't open every day. We were immediately advised to try the nearby pub. Excellent service!
20/04/2026: We didn't have food, we were just watching the football

Simple Simons
Donegal
26/10/2025: We had an absolutely fantastic lunch at Simple Simon in Donegal Town! I ordered the vegetarian rosti, and it was outstanding — perfectly crunchy on the outside with layers of creamy avocado, topped with fresh arugula and tangy pickled red cabbage. The sides of roasted beets, feta cubes, and pumpkin seeds added the perfect balance of flavor and texture.
My husband went for the BLT, which was packed with flavor — beautifully toasted bread filled with crisp bacon, a perfectly cooked egg, and fresh salad greens. Everything tasted so fresh and thoughtfully prepared.
They also have a great selection of coffees, which made the meal even better. Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and beautifully presented dishes — can’t recommend this spot highly enough!
25/09/2025: Lovely friendly service, great coffee and delicious food. We both had the Rosti Stack €16. Good choice 😋

Blueberry Tea Room
Donegal
15/05/2026: Didn't eat here but had coffees. Asked about disabled toilet and was told it was up the stairs. No disabled toilet just a cubicle with nothing to hold onto. Only in Ireland could you get away with this
13/05/2026: We purposely visited this wee cafe/restaurant after reading other reviews , with the some purpose of getting a cooked breakfast . We were not disappointed. The welcome was warm, the service was friendly and the ' Donegal breakfast ' was wonderful.
The place is small but very popular and we got there around 10a.m. but soon after we arrived the place was near in at full capacity. The menu extended way beyond a cooked breakfast so will cater for most tastes. Definitely recommend a visit if in the vicinity 😊

Sherpa Indian & Nepalese Restaurant
Buncrana
29/04/2026: Hands down one of the best Nepalese and Indian restaurants I’ve ever tried. The food was full of authentic flavours, perfectly spiced, and beautifully presented. Every dish tasted fresh and rich, especially the curries and momos—they were outstanding. The staff were warm, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for genuine Nepalese and Indian cuisine, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!
12/04/2026: The goat restaurant of Buncrana!
