The best restaurants in Donegal

16/06/2026: The beach hotel is a great spot to stay at in Downings. I stayed here with a few friends and we were very impressed. The rooms were extremely clean, comfortable and held to a very high standard. All the staff throughout the hotel were brilliant. Amy at reception, all the bar staff right through to the night porter all had us well looked after. You couldn't go wrong with this hotel, thanks all!

02/06/2026: Had a family dinner here and food was delicious and staff where very attentive. Best turkey and ham we have had in a long time. Would of been 5 star only we didn't get to sample the cheesecake as they have ran out! Will be back.

03/04/2026: Wow! Normally go to Rosato’s when in Moville and menu can be a bit unimaginative. So tried Inish Fusion for the first time… and it was sensational. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and the menu is outstanding… and the food… what can I say? Incredible. We both went for the €25 surf and turf special. Sirloin steaks cooked to perfection with fresh king prawns kissed with the right amount of chilli. Wonderful garlic potatoes, the sweetest cherry tomatoes and Diane sauce to die for. I don’t know why I ever went anywhere else. Amazing

19/08/2026: Really nice place, nice atmosphere lovely food.

17/08/2026: We had a party of 15 on Sunday night and the food was excellent along with the service, the only problem we had was when the food arrived we had to wait on vegetables and potatoes/ chips, that was the problem from the kitchen and not the servers, but overall the food was beautiful and I would have no hesitation in recommending the boathouse

16/08/2026: -I loved it. The staff are very friendly and the food is incredible. KEPP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS -2021 - After 5 years, ive decided to make another review on the lucky-inn. It is still the greatest Chinese restaurant in the north west of Ireland, if not all of Ireland. Keep up the amazing work. -2026

08/08/2026: Chinese takeaway food. I've tried it on several occasions and it's always very good.

09/08/2026: Quality of the food is excellent, mussels for the starter, delicious, and a geneous portion to boot,for my main I had one of the best stakes here, that i had in a long time it was a generous portion and cooked to perfection (medium rare) Kids were very happy with their dinner and deserts, expect it to be busy because the word is out good food and service great good value for you hard earned money.Highly recommended.

08/08/2026: Great little spot... lovely menu with options to suit all of our group. Very good value. Will be back again.

29/06/2026: No fuzz, wooden pizza oven, friendly staff

29/06/2026: The best in Dunfanaghy! Dined here twice in three days, that’s how much we loved it! Super busy but so accommodating of you if you don’t have a booking, you’re served quickly and it’s so nice how family friendly it is. Pizzas are so delicious and my little boy loved the ice cream in a tea cup! A must for every trip we make here. Thanks guys!

09/07/2026: If you're in County Donegal, a visit to the Railway Tavern is a must! Housed in a Victorian Railway station, the steaks are cooked on the old fire box to perfection. The crispy cabbage is a house specialty and it's totally addictive. With a warm and friendly staff, the Railway Tavern never disappoints.

08/07/2026: Folks, a trip to the Railway Tavern is a MUST when visiting county Donegal. Fahan is a short drive from Derry and it's 100% worth it. All five times I have traveled to St. Johnston, Ireland I have eaten here, all five times had a spectacular experience. One of the best decisions when I got married in Derry, December 7, 2024 was having this fantastic venue host our wedding reception. The steak, buttery mash, onion rings and their specialty, the crispy cabbage were incredible! Already looking forward to meal #6! 🥩🍻🇮🇪❤️

18/08/2026: The fish is fantastic, the fries are crispy, and the sauce is perfect! The price is totally okay.

17/08/2026: Been working in killybegs, and since last week been coming here to eat , the food brilliant, service brilliant , and staff excellent actually the best especially Kalla, iv left my heart in Mellys cafe, hope to return next year

28/07/2026: Harry's is an absolute gem. Without a doubt, it serves the best Guinness around - always perfectly poured and consistently excellent. The atmosphere is warm, cosy, and welcoming, making it the perfect place to relax with friends or enjoy a quiet pint or 6 😄. The staff are fantastic: friendly, attentive, and always up for a chat, which really adds to the experience. If you're looking for a proper Irish pub with great service, a brilliant atmosphere, and an outstanding pint of Guinness, Harry's is hard to beat. The best local a person could get 🙌

03/09/2026: Great little morning spot I found on my walk to the laundry. Delicious way to start the day with very nice staff to make you feel welcomed.

05/08/2026: Fresh, tasty food. Great service and friendly staff. They went out of their way to make sure we got everything we wanted, even went to the trouble of making fresh onion rings for us after they had run out. Best feed we have had in a long time. We will definitely be back once we have come out of the food coma 😋 High recommend travelling to Newtown for a decent feed 👌
