The best restaurants in Donegal

21/01/2026: What a great wee Restaurant- food amazing and service top notch. Very attentive staff. Definitely will be back.

03/01/2026: Omg the best lunch I’ve had in Donegal. What a treat! 💕

03/01/2026: Yellow pepper is out on its own, the staff are so friendly & so professional it feels like fine dining. I rarely eat beef burgers but for quickness I ordered one & believe me im glad I did, beats any burger I ever had & garlic potatoes perfect. Cant wait to get eating there again very soon.

21/12/2025: €8 for a take away soup. Madness

02/11/2025: Great staff very friendly and work efficiently. Restaurant is clean Food was ok, massive portions (make smaller portions for a cheaper price) 2 of us ate here, we got a burger and fires each ,a portion of wings, 2 drinks and 3 dips. It came to over €60. Very expensive for whats basically chipper food. Burgers are called smashed burgers on the menu but it's just a bit of beef flattened. A smash burger should have crispy edges the meat should be caramelised.

26/10/2025: First time here was unsure what to expect. Book in advance(had to eait 15 minutes a walk in. Server seated us and didnt explain that you order at the counter. When I went up and ordered,when we asked for loaded chips as a side,they didnt make it easy but we got there, but a friend with us asked for the sqme and wasnt able to. Food was good,portions decent and good range on the menu

02/11/2025: The girl was very kind and helped us get assistance to change our flat tires, so nice and warm, I'll never forget you. Thanks you so much, you save my life. Grettings from México 🇲🇽 ¿Necesitas algo más?

03/10/2025: Stopped for a coffee on the way to Rosapenna. We needed a caffeine boost and found the perfect spot. A lovely sunny Sunday afternoon and this place was busy! Always a good sign. One staff member on duty behind the counter so had to wait a little while. We had our coffees and some cake outside in the courtyard area, enjoying the Autumn rays 😎 Great experience Would recommend 👌

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 😋

22/08/2025: The choice on the menu was excellent. I had the 8oz steak and my friends had the cod and the salmon after the excellent cabin chicken starters. We were not disappointed in any of the dishes. The staff were excellent and very friendly. A first class dining experience and I would highly recommend an TSúgain to my friends. GRMA

15/08/2025: Very nice place, food is very good and the staff were very friendly as well.

12/02/2026: Food is good. Staff a little bit slow and not great communication with customers.

07/02/2026: Always great food and service at the oasis.

10/11/2025: Everything was perfect till 10pm then the music started, ok its a wedding but it went on till 2am and the base drum banged out 180 beats per minute like a rave only it was country music mostly then, people chatting and laughing till after 4am. Other than that is was wonder with beautiful views friendly and efficient staff more than ample parking fantastic spa and gym suite

06/11/2025: Just back from three nights at the Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa. We had a great time enjoying our stay including swimming a couple of times in the pool and getting massaged by the bubbles in the jacuzzi. Must give Jacks bar and restaurant and the breakfast staff a mention for friendly service.

19/11/2025: Lovely coffee shop. Had the most delicious seafood chowder with brown bread. Gorgeous.

04/11/2025: Lovely Coffee House and Cafe, the staff were extremely friendly.Food was excellent, great breakfast and breakfast bap was the best I’ve ever had, would definitely go back!

29/12/2025: We had a lovely dining experience from start to finish. The food is amazing, the flavours and taste we were delighted. Everything was delicious and so was the wine. The staff were also very approachable and efficient, we actually didn't have a reservation and I know this place books out so I was delighted when we thought there would be no chance of getting a table and there was. I am excited also as Gary the chef came out and told me how to make the soup, such hearty warming foods and I'm going to try mimic it now myself. no thickening agency's or any flour added to soup so I was even further pleased. Im going to try the soup for my children as I believe they will devour it as we did our meal in the boathouse last night. Thank you all.

14/12/2025: Wonderful food, excellent friendly service. Would certainly recommend and definitely go back again 😊

09/01/2026: We stopped here for a bite of lunch when passing the area, it was very quiet but was early January so to be expected. Lovely staff, good menu, order taken quickly and really lovely, tasty food. Beautiful premises and a nice, cosy feel. Will definitely be back when in the area.

13/12/2025: Don't sleep on this place! Someone in the kitchen knows what they're doing, superbly balanced flavours using local ingredients. As good as you'll get anywhere. Front of house all lovely too providing a great service.

16/09/2025: Really like this cafe, I always pay a visit when I'm in the area. Full Irsh is a must really tasty. Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent value for the quality of food. 100% recommended.

23/01/2026: Whats the story with the miniture crap claw!! I just got a claw and nothing on it! I had to hand back. If small crab then don't serve. However, I would go back and try their food again! Maybe just a bad day!

17/01/2026: Sensational seafood. My wife and I both had the prawn and cod crumble and were blown away by how good it was. Cozy little bar with great Guinness as well. Worth a visit.
