The best restaurants in Buncrana

22/08/2025: A great pub with a great atmosphere. Shows lots of sport and has traditional live music. Has a beer garden out the back. Is enjoyed by young and old. Relaxing during the day but can get very busy and noisy in the evening at weekends but that's not a bad thing. Staff are always very friendly.

21/04/2025: It's one of the best bars around. Great atmosphere and the service is excellent. It's worth a visit. Amazing Guinness, too. All round great pub.

11/08/2025: Attended for breakfast. Fresh and good quality food. Good selection on breakfast menu to suit all needs. However service was slow.

26/07/2025: Didn't stay at the hotel, we just went to the restaurant. Had the most amazing vegan stir fry with rice.

26/09/2025: Had a takeaway from here tonight 😋 It was absolutely gorgeous I had the masu chicken chilli,onion bajais,aloo kerau chapat and pilau rice and peshwari naan. If you order from here you will not be disappointed.

27/08/2025: Really delicious food and excellent service. Would definitely visit again when we come back to the area.

20/09/2025: Quiet hotel with great amenities

19/09/2025: Thank you for your reply... but this is absolutely not true... when I reserved the 6 rooms it was made very clear that we were burying our father that day and we're attending the sister hotel for the funeral lunch.. furthermore when we were checking in I said it to the receptionist.. it wasn't just this.. the staff don't say hello on the corridors..or a simple good morning..breakfast was a grunt of what is your room number.. that was the sum total of communication.. not good enough.. really disappointed... This is my original and honest review.. Too say I was absolutely shocked by the lack of professionalism in this hotel is an understatement. There was one nice young lad in the bar who was friendly. We were a family who buried our father last Saturday..we had the funeral lunch in the lake of shadows(a sister hotel to the gateway) ..they unfortunately were fully booked as was the ballyliffen townhouse where we had been staying for 4 previous nights.. (a hotel I highly recommend..what a fantastic team and atmosphere..you would do well to visit them to see how a hotel is professionally run with great team morale) not one member of staff acknowledged the death of our dad.. you could walk the corridor to the rooms and I was in 4?? so I met a lot of staff on the long walk... not one single staff member acknowledged or greeted us ..and some would actually walk through you.. there is something majorly wrong with your team morale.. I have never stayed where staff were so rude through their lack of acknowledgement.. lots of training needed.. even the breakfast staff were rude .. I have never left a review like this in my life.. bitterly disappointed
