Great Northern Hotel
Bundoran
05/10/2025: Very nice room,The beds were nicely made and very comfortable indeed.BIG HOTEL and comes with lots of activities too including golf, tennis and leisure centre with a gym and a pool and great location as well with Water world the beach and the funfair nice walk down to these locations .Recommend hotel to stay at for the summer holidays food was high quality and tasty indeed and Staff were very nice and posh they would give you anything that you need and have it delivered to your door in seconds. The tv works including Netflix and YouTube which would help you pass the time when you’re waiting to do something . 5 STARS,RECOMMENDED indeed

Taste of India Carndonagh
Carndonagh
16/08/2025: A lovely little Indian restaurant right in the town. The staff were really nice and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious with generous portions at a very reasonable price. It’s takeaway only, but definitely worth it if you’re looking for tasty Indian food in the area.
03/05/2025: The food I ordered was inedible. I ordered a chip box with chicken. The lettuce was old and wilted, slathered in mayonnaise, the chicken was overcooked and bland and the chips were covered in sweet chilli sauce. I noticed a lot of grey and blighty chips amoungest them. They used to do a great kebab and hogie but have gone very downhill in the last year. My aunt ordered a curry which was a lot better than my order so maybe avoid anything that is not curry based!

Quay West Restaurant
Bundoran
06/08/2025: Tue 5th Aug @7.40 front of house excellent, super friendly, cleaned up a table for us to dine. Great looking menu, well overpriced.
Ordered Veggie ginger & chilli noodle stirfry , a swap of soya sauce,1 whole onion, sesame seeds.€17
Hubby orderd lasagne, €23 came out looked like a orange cheese slice just melted on top of it, so sml and thin not much of a lasnage, side salad was just pulled out of a salad bag. No dressing, nothing.
Honestly an absolute disgrace to plate up this, and it it's worthy for diners to pay €35.
I'm in the hospitality industry am disgraced of this pathic food I was subject to eat.
Again front of house staff excellent , back staff unacceptable
26/07/2025: I appreciated the variety of vegan options available at this restaurant, which was a big plus. However, I had a very disappointing experience. The staff was quite unfriendly, which affected the overall atmosphere. We didn`t feel welcome at all! Additionally, the noodle dishes were swimming in oil, making them very greasy and not very enjoyable.

Glenveagh Restaurant
30/07/2025: Very very disappointing. The coffee was so bad that we went back to the counter and we were told that's just how it is.
The soup was tasty. The grounds & park are beautiful, but the tea room is a let down.
17/06/2025: Big disappointment. We were here a few years ago, the food was very good. That's why we decided to invite our guests to this place. We will definitely never go back there. After 3 pm a lot of
smoothies were unavailable, but still on the board soup and fries too. Food without taste pasta salad with one dried tomato is a kind of joke.
Quiche not heated enough Service just like food not the best. Outdoor tables low, uncomfortable chairs.
I don't recommend it to people who value the quality of food

Lakeside Centre
Ballyshannon
22/09/2025: Flat location, nothing to say about this; boss (Mr Mungo) gruff with a strong personality but helpful in the end, little space for people in tents; campsite for regulars. Peaceful location by the lake; we did not have to suffer from nuisances due to the power plant, but rather from disrespectful neighbors.
18/08/2025: Spent the past 3 nights in their campsite, I was met by a gent (David) sorted us out with the site facilities etc, had a great time on the site and will definitely return, good showers and washing areas. Very fair price for the stay.

17/08/2025: I wouldn't feel safe in this pub. Last time family members of mine have seen such signs like the one in the entrance to this pub my great-grandfather ended up in Dachau, and died there. This place is not safe.

Shamrock Chinese
Donegal
11/09/2025: Great, affordable food with astounding variety and generous portions. We ordered the Mongolian beef, chicken with satay sauce, and curried lamb in the two person package deal (35 euro).
Two PSAs:
- they're a little sparing with the meat in lamb dishes, so I'd opt for different protein if I went again
- as indicated by the shop's name, there's no indoor dining option

Chicking Letterkenny
Letterkenny
20/08/2025: This franchise does not exist any more and reviews are for old franchise called chickings but this franchise is permanently close round 7 months ago now its new business opened here called LK FRIED CHICKEN.
11/04/2025: I regrettably spent 30 minutes (waiting)on an unproductive endeavor.
The chicken was excessively cooked and excessively greasy; the oil appeared to be rancid, possibly even outdated.
Regarding the family meal—the specific selection escapes me—the team reported a missing side of fries.
I would not recommend dining at this establishment, particularly given the presence of uncleared tables.
The online comments indicate that the establishment is Halal-certified, a fact that was previously unknown to me; consequently, I will not be returning.

Annora
31/08/2025: Arrived up on Friday night to enjoy some drinks and craic.
Band came on and soon found out it was a Republican RA band.
Not our experience of anywhere else in Donegal and sadly this pub has definitely gone down hill since it changed hands.
27/08/2025: Angela's fish and chips next door serve the best fish and it is so fresh - the chips are great too.
