The best restaurants in Donegal

12/10/2025: I've been coming here for many years and it is consistently amazing. The seafood medley is to die for

11/10/2025: The mussels were the best I’ve ever had! The warm goat cheese salad was sooooo good! The staff was OK. Didn’t check on you after food was delivered. The view of the beach was lovely.

01/12/2025: Stayed in adjacent cottage Everything was great apart from temperature which was way below a decent standard. However food was first class

17/11/2025: Had an absolutely great stay at The Cosy Cottage. The food was genuinely amazing — so fresh and full of flavour — and the whole place had such a warm, buzzing atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating from start to finish, which made the experience even better. The location is perfect too, just a short stroll from beautiful shore walks with stunning views. Couldn’t recommend it enough — can’t wait to come back!

28/11/2025: Atmosphere excellent. Bar staff different story. When they try to belittle you to their friends and you overhear them when confronted just walked away. Years of going to this bar and treated with respect to this. Disappointing

04/11/2025: Cracking wee bar, a campervan places behind, give a donation. Beautiful town with the nicest people.

06/11/2025: Absolutely outstanding! Paradise Indian Restaurant in Ballybofey truly lives up to its name. The food is bursting with authentic flavours — every dish tastes freshly prepared and perfectly spiced. 🍛 The staff are warm, attentive, and always make you feel welcome. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for both a casual meal or a special night out.

10/10/2025: Food is absolutely fantastic. Fresh. Very tasty. Really nice place to have a traditional Indian meal.

23/09/2025: Great for the price. Location can’t get much better! Lady working the front desk was kind.

16/09/2025: Spent 3 days at this Inn and love it. They even put a fridge and microwave in the room for us. The staff and owners couldn't do enough for you. And the Trans night is a must

02/12/2025: Quiet Saturday afternoon after 2pm so not to busy

09/11/2025: Lovely meal and great friendly service . Very reasonably priced. Definetly worth a visit.

14/12/2025: Ordered 3 dinners off the menu named the “beef and pepper plate with creamy peppered sauce” , We all received this dinner but it came completely different from what the menu said we got chips (which we didn’t ask for)got a few pieces of fatty beef and gravy instead of the peppered sauce that was ment to come on it ,it was disappointing wasn’t food worth paying for won’t be coming back

05/12/2025: Great place the food and service was very good.

23/08/2025: This place came up when I searched for nearby places and I immediately liked the photos and it didnt dissapoint, quiet little spot that did nice coffee and a nice slice of cake. Will be going back tomorrow morning for some breakie. Edit: went back for breakfast and was lovely

19/07/2025: We ordered sandwiches for a wedding after party held in town. We thought we left it too late but the staff at the Fisherman's Warf were fantastic and advised on how much we needed for 30 guests. They delivered all the food on time and the sandwiches were delicious! Thank you!

02/10/2025: The best traditional Irish breakfast

13/09/2025: Used to be excellent. Has been going down hill for a while, was a weekly treat but don't order from here anymore

01/10/2025: This is a hidden treasure! We enjoyed the Ham and cheese baguette, along with a pear pastry. Both delicious

25/09/2025: Great place to grab a coffee and a pastry or sandwich!

29/10/2025: Brought in our own cake, they charged 2 euro per slice to cut It for us, total scam 😒 🙄

30/09/2025: We are visiting Letterkenny, from Tipperary. Yes, it's a long way but eating at Luca's is nearly worth walking from Tipperary. We were just going to have pizza, cooked perfectly in a massive wood fired oven but the flavoursome, extensive menu tempted us elsewhere. Pick any item on their menu and you will not be disappointed. Serving staff excellent. Food quality excellent. I also note a spirits and cocktail bar. We booked a table for two and from 1830 the area filled up quickly. Well done to ALL staff, front of house and in the kitchens.

07/09/2025: Fabulous, very sorry to hear its closing down. Fabulous food staff where great.

16/08/2025: Good menu and food was excellent. They found us a table for two despite being fully booked.

13/08/2025: Fantastic place very welcoming place would 100% go again

05/08/2025: Lovely friendly welcoming atmosphere clientele will visit again my next visit to ballybofey

01/10/2025: Letterkenny seems blessed with lovely cafes, and this is no exception. Welcomed our little dog as well and gave him a treat.

18/09/2025: Great coffee and excellent breakfast.
