Ubiquitous
Buncrana
15/05/2025: Happy with everything. Lovely food/vine. Staff very friendly.
13/05/2025: The girls and I visited The Ubiquitous Restaurant Buncrana on the busy May bank holiday, and it was an absolutely fab experience from start to finish. Despite being quite busy, the atmosphere was great, had an amazing buzz, and the staff couldn’t have been better, they were very attentive, friendly, and super welcoming.
The food was to die for, very well done, really good quality, generous portions, plus such good value for money. The cocktails were easily the best I’ve had in town.
Really excited to go back for literally any occasion I can—highly recommended!

Tank and Skinny's Seaside
Buncrana
12/07/2025: One of the best gluten free sandwiches that I’ve ever tried! Worth the visit and the view 🫶🏻
02/07/2025: We loved our breakfast at Tank and Skinny‘s. We had an avocado sourdough bread with a poached egg and a veggie full Irish plus two power porridges and two cappuccinos. The food was really good. The service was unfortunately a little slow and could have been more attentive.

Oscars
Buncrana
29/05/2025: The food was delicious. The vegetable soup was bursting with flavor, and the brown bread was very fresh. I had the fish and chips, which were perfectly battered, accompanied by a fabulous side salad. The service was top-notch. The atmosphere was very welcoming, and the decor was stylish. I would highly recommend it.

The Harbour Inn
Buncrana
15/07/2025: The hotel is nicely situated by the water, although it is not easy to get to the beach, there is no exit from the hotel, there is only an entrance from the back.
17/06/2025: Sorry to harbour inn we were really looking forward to our meal this evening. Our main order either got messed up or not put into the computer right. We waited at least 30 minutes from starter to main. No apology from staff. They came to double check our order after 20 minutes or so from when we got starters. The plates were not hot. The cod was middling temperature and the "roast potatoes" were clearly boiled and sitting around in some heating pot but they were not roasted. It was a pity because it was good quality fish. The salmon dish was fine. Overall disappointed in lack of apology and acknowledgement of the long wait time.
Thanks

Lake of Shadows Hotel
Buncrana
13/07/2025: I don't give 5 stars,but Lake of shadows they deserve that rating.
Staff was very helpful and welcoming, we check in, Laura was very welcoming.
Paddy, the barman, brought a smile 😃 to our face.
10/07/2025: The hotel’s location is its only redeeming feature; otherwise, it was deeply disappointing. I stayed here with my family for a business trip, booked by my company, leaving me no choice. The room was extremely dusty, with spider webs near the windows and small spiders on the bed. I started itching as soon as I got into bed, and it felt like the room hadn’t been cleaned in months. The phone was also dead, forcing us to go to the reception at night just to request water. Most alarmingly, a staff member entered our room without permission or knocking while my wife was alone, casually asking if we needed anything. This was unacceptable and unsettling, especially since she forgot to lock the door. Management must train staff to respect guests’ privacy and practice basic manners. Additionally, loud snoring from a nearby room disturbed our sleep. We planned to stay for two nights but left a day early due to these issues. I will not return to this hotel and strongly advise management to address these serious concerns.

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.
14/01/2025: We love this place when in Buncrana. Great atmosphere, great friendly fast service and the Guinness and Heineken are lovely.
The Main Street cafe next door does a great all day Irish breakfast and I love the eggs Benedict.
Great place to watch any sporting event and a must when in Buncrana.

Swan Perk
Buncrana
29/06/2025: What a place. Only place on the main street to eat. Food is so different from anywhere else. Worth paying a visit to
14/06/2025: Had the club and ham cheese sour dough and soup today. The food was ok just, the price point for the quality was shocking and we don’t mind paying for good food. The soup was lumpy and baby food like in its consistency plus there was a film of water indicating it may have been frozen and defrosted - v poor! The sandwiches were bland, lacking in ingredients and soggy. The overall experience was way below average! We would have expressed this had we been asked when paying but we were not… will not return for sub par food at Dublin prices -
