The best restaurants in Donegal

01/03/2025: Wonderful restaurant, well worth a visit. Seafood was next level with amazing attentive staff.

17/02/2025: Great food and friendly service - will call again.

15/02/2025: Arrived at approximately 5pm on Sat 15th. Lovely atmosphere in the restaurant. I went for the 50/50 beef and Chicken with a few sides and the better half went for the prawn starter and garlic chips ( she wasn’t very hungry) Both meals were very good, with approximately 15/20 min wait. Staff were knowledgeable and kind and a shoutout to Vicky the boss also very friendly and kind. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Treehouse

08/02/2025: Table was booked for 7.15pm got the table early. Was with a family of 6 adults plus 4 children. Some of us got starters and the children got their food out with our starters then had their desert. When it was time for our main meal we waited till 9pm when we walked out as the service was so bad. The manager ended up telling us well it 9pm where else are you going to get fed. The service is awful. This is our 2nd time here and it hasn't changed.

05/02/2025: Always good food with friendly efficient service. Reasonably priced.

26/01/2025: Food was excellent, delivered in good time even when restaurant was busy. Service was courteous and professional. Prices reasonable.

24/02/2025: First visit today to the fisherman's wharf cafe. Food was delicious. Great size portions. Excellent customer service. Very warm and welcoming greeting and very thankful for our custom when we were leaving.Husband and I really enjoyed it. Highly recommend the fisherman's wharf cafe. Well done to all the staff for excellent customer care and excellent food. will definitely return again. Thanks again

27/01/2025: Great food and friendly staff. The lemon and blue berry cake was perfect. Located in great spot perfect for a visit after a walk or around town or Swan park.

20/03/2025: Excellent food, great staff and great service! Hands down the best Indian food that I have tried and my favourite place to eat out in this part of Donegal.

18/03/2025: We were visiting bundoran for a weekend and decided to go to this restaurant for dinner after reading the reviews. But we were utterly disappointed. The food was terrible and overpriced. The biryani and chicken chettinad is nothing like the original dish. The chicken and rice in biryani seemed like cooked separately, it lacked the original flavours of the dish and they don't serve it with the raita like it is supposed to be, and chicken chettinad was just very sour. Mango lassi didn't taste like mango at all, it had ruafza in it. The sizzling platter had one samosa with cold stuffing in it. We waited for an hour for the food to arrive. But the food was so bad that instead of being extremely hungry we could only have few spoons. There was only one waitress who was serving all the tables. She was doing her best but she was definitely overworked and tired. The tables were dirty, the tissue and cutlery was passed in a very unhygienic way. Upon asking the feedback by their waitress we gave an honest feedback, but the chef Sayed came to our table was very rude and insulting. He said this is not indian style biryani, then why does the restaurant say it's a Indian restaurant? He started arguing and yelling. The manager never showed up to talk or to sort the situation. She simply ignored all the mess and yelling from their staff and no one acknowledged or apologised for his behaviour. If you cannot take the feedback then why bother to even ask?Worst experience ever.

24/02/2025: This is one the best restaurants in donegal town. The hype of the restaurant comes in light with it's huge queue before the dinner starts. I am not sure if they take walkins as I have been to this place twice but had booked in advance. Seeing the crowd at the restaurant I would definitely recommend to book the table well in advance even when you planning on a weekday but surely book if coming on a weekend. There is a great variety of dishes with vegetarian and meat options. The second time I visited, we had ordered spring rolls and seafood chowder for starters. They were absolutely tasty and came within record time I'll say. For mains we had ordered carbonara, chicken Supreme with sauce, kofta balls, and a burger with fries. The food and the service was amazing and couldn't hold back with the amazing deserts as well. The staff were very friendly and welcoming at all the time. Toilets were kept clean and tidy to the point. Photos might give you a better insight of the place and food. Do visit this place if you are in Donegal time and looking for some great place for fine dine.

06/01/2025: This is one the finest restaurants I have been in donegal. The hype of the restaurant comes in light with it's huge queue before the dinner starts. There is usually waiting list for around 20 mins time but it's good to go ahead and pre-book it one the weekends especially. There is a great variety of dishes with vegetarian and meat options.

22/02/2025: We had a really delicious meal in The Quay restaurant with friends last night and thoroughly enjoyed every dish made with wonderful local ingredients. The smoked haddock dish was another level! Such a warm welcoming team and the atmosphere and beautiful coastal decor is so relaxing and the perfect backdrop to enjoy a top quality meal. Cannot wait to go back. Txs to Jo for the lovely welcome and the team for looking after us so well. Five stars all the way.

16/10/2024: Very nice little cafe. Large selection of delicious cakes. Super friendly!

01/03/2025: I was looking for a quiet place where I could eat lunch in peace and in a pleasant atmosphere, I was pleasantly surprised, not far from the center of Letterkenny, almost under the cathedral on Church Line Street, I found a small but charming restaurant. The waiters were nice and friendly, and the food was incredibly delicious, I recommend it to anyone who appreciates taste.

12/02/2025: The food was great. We got the Green Curry and Pad Thai. The taste was exceptional.

27/02/2025: One friend got turkey and ham but ham was just one slice if packet ham for the price of the dinner it should have been boiled ham and food all around just wasn't as good as it normally is bit disappointing on the day

06/10/2024: This meandering bohemian oasis is great place to hang for honest authentic food made and served by a young buzzy Team. Food, atmosphere, service, etc didn’t disappoint…Rusty in all but name!

19/03/2025: The Fish and Chips Was Good In Downings Donegal The Staff Was Very Friendly It Has WiFi and It Also Have A Toilet. The Toilet Is Very Spotless. I Would Visit Here Again

09/03/2025: The best fish restaurant I've been to in Ireland so far. Really enjoyed it and admired chef's work. Fish was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked and combined with mind blowing sauces. I would come here every weekend if we didn't live on the other side of Ireland!
