The Wee Bakery Coffee Shop
Ballyshannon
05/09/2025: Just the best value-for-price Coffee place we visited in 2 weeks in Ireland , and we stopped at least twice a day for a coffee.
15/08/2025: Hell of a good place. Reasonable prices, the kindest staff, and great food. You NEED to try their cookie dough croissants: gooey, runny, sweet and crispy. Hands down 5 stars.

Nirvana
Ballyshannon
26/03/2025: I want to get to know that area for its gastronomy, culture and people.
23/11/2024: The reason it got 4 stars is the premise was cold on arrival at 6pm ( it doesn’t open at 17:30 as stated on trip adviser )
I had the Chicken supreme and better half had the fish and chips. Have to say very tasty.
We were served by Anastasia who was very polite, moving us to a warmer position etc.
I recommend Nivana, but leave to a bit later if weather is cold

Tête-à-Tête
Ballyshannon
12/03/2025: Nice breakfast. Friendly staff.
Very cold in restaurant.
06/03/2025: A nice place that pleasantly surprised me. From the outside, it looks like a typical fish and chips shop, so at first, I wasn’t sure whether to go in. However, I’m glad I did!
The food exceeded my expectations. The beans were perfectly seasoned, and the baguette was fresh and crispy, making for a simple but delicious meal. The portion size was just right, and everything tasted homemade.
The atmosphere inside was cozy, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. If you’re in the area and looking for a casual but tasty bite, this place is worth checking out!

The Thatch Bar
Ballyshannon
30/08/2025: Tourist trappings for hotel guests. Not a pub anymore. It's only open for tour buses. Impeccable on the inside but there is nothing authentic left.
16/06/2025: Quaint pub, an evening with cool live music
brilliant

Filling Station Takeaway
Ballyshannon
05/10/2025: Sometimes, it’s the simplest of dishes that are hard to get right…
Take that age old takeaway favourite, Fish & Chips, for instance… intentions are usually good but invariably gets served as some insipid tasteless piece of is-it-or-isn’t-it-cod with a mediocre batter on top of a congealed mush of soggy chips. Sound familiar??
Enter AJ’s in Ballyshannon.
The chips (…and they were PROPER chips) were plentiful and that lovely combination of fluffy centred and crispy outside, and perched on top of this potato perfection was a slab of the finest flakiest fishiest feed, swaddled lovingly in a blanket of the tastiest crispiest batter this side of Batterstown!
I can’t begin to describe the joy that deep fried fish can bring, all that it was missing was being wrapped in a sheet of yesterday’s news.
AJ’s are definitely doing fish the way fish should be done, light and lovely… I’m not codding! Treat yourself to a day off cooking with a takeaway the way takeaways are meant to be taken away.
15/10 for crispy coddiness!!
17/09/2025: Great friendly people nice upstairs are to sit

Golden Dragon
Ballyshannon
22/08/2025: Cash only. But Open late and that’s why I was able to eat here. The meal was just okay, I wanted it to be spicy but it wasn’t too spicy but it was still good and delivered hot. I would def stop by if you’re in need of sustenance super late.
25/07/2025: Such a great surprise. The pub you walk through isn’t so nice but when you get upstairs it’s good. Staff really warm and food was lovely.

Shamrock Chinese
Ballyshannon
12/07/2025: Picking up the phone and slamming it down refusing to speak, very poor way to conduct business, a customer lost permanently
01/05/2025: Hello, I was once at your restaurant asking for vegan stuff, you asked me "leaf!?" And what should I say now... I will eat some pork or chicken stuff if I'm going on my next surf trip. I am healed now from veganism. Many love, zeli.

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.
