Golden Dragon
Ballyshannon
14/06/2026: Normally we get it to go or enjoy down in O’Donnells as dogs are not allowed upstairs. It is the only restaurant to offer tofu dishes in the area, so you’d think beggars can’t be choosers, but honestly, the sweet and sour tofu noodle box is my favorite in all of Europe. Yah…I just said it…all. of. Europe!
03/06/2026: Just dined here recently and the food was delicious.
I was a bit apprehensive when we arrived as the place is up over a pub and a bit dated.
When we got inside the Mammy came over to us and she is very pleasant and eager to ensure everything is ok, this is a family owned and family run business. We’ve had a delicious meal and it wasn’t expensive at all and will definitely return the next time I’m in Donegal.

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!
