14/08/2026: It's rare for me to review anywhere these days but this gem in Buncrana deserves it.

25/07/2026: It was recommended to us and very glad it was... top class food and service.. we will be back.

24/07/2026: My family and me went to Sherpa for the diner. We weren’t expecting anything but we were really surprised, the food was really nice and the portion were big. We were served by a Ukrainian lady, who was so nice and professional. We really appreciated our food there, I recommend this place.

11/07/2026: Had a wonderful evening here. Great atmosphere and excellent staff. Served with a smile by a great bar man who went over and above. I would highly recommend.

11/07/2026: We had such a lovely time here! The bar staff were soo accommodating, friendly and caring. Cosiest atmosphere, we will definitely be back.

20/08/2026: I was very shocked to have this desert presented to me. It had fallen apart and had little to no biscuit on the plate . I watched the cheesecakes come out to a group beside me and they were much bigger slices and together . I would also like to add that I was sitting for 20 minutes on my own before the desert came . It was a set menu and desert was to arrive after they collected my main course plate . Workers were walking by me constantly . Nobody asked how my meal was . Eventually someone copped that I was waiting for the desert . There was enough staff to deal with the little crowd in there but I felt ignored . My advice is to show the same care to solo travellers as to groups or couples .

13/08/2026: Lovely restaurant for a family meal. Food is very good, and the staff were helpful - accommodated us quickly without a reservation, and were attentive and friendly.

13/07/2026: Something ‘fishy’ going on here? I know Chowder and Chicken begin with the same sound, but Chowder should definitely not taste like Chicken! Seriously, 2 spoonfuls were enough to wonder if this was a mistaken order, some desperate chef shortcut, or extreme cost cutting- strain the liquid from some bad cream of chicken soup mixture as a substitute for real cream, bung in some flavoring with an odd bit of fish, and no-one will notice? If not that, very hard to understand how Chowder could taste like that - unless it’s not made in the kitchen with fresh ingredients, but it’s mostly a pre-packaged heat and go.

10/07/2026: Many years ago over half a decade i arrived here with friends to sit down and chill and i was greeted by the most kind and welcoming women who was so nice as to give me a free water which inspired me to try the food because i didnt want ti leave without buying anything after her service and then i had the most amazing food i have ever had and even better views of the ocean 10/10

11/07/2026: The Inishowen Gateway is a very pleasant spot to stay, with friendly staff; comfortable and quiet rooms; an atmospheric bar; and a well appointed leisure centre, with indoor swimming pool and well equipped gym.
