The best restaurants in Castlefin

02/11/2025: Great experience altogether! We did the (Halloween) jail break solving puzzles and opening many locks. Our jailer did a fantastic job keeping an eye on us, leading us along without giving too much away and adding a bit of history at the end. And although the kitchen was about to close, we were able to sit down with a quick snack and lovely cappuccinos and hot chocolate (trying to escape from a jail cell makes you very hungry). We say thank you to all the staff to give us this fantastic experience!

28/10/2025: We had a great time at the Halloween jailbreak (we were pretty useless but we had a great guard!) fascinating authentic and fun! Great food with a licensed bar too - all very reasonably priced. Free parking. Highly recommend! 1adult & 3 teens all thoroughly enjoyed! Thank you!

31/03/2026: Let’s get the good news out of the way first – there are currently better restaurants in Donegal, and this diner has plenty of room for improvement. Despite our previous (rather underwhelming) experiences, we decided to give it another chance and went there for a meal yesterday. Unfortunately, we were thoroughly disappointed! Our table was constantly in the draught from the ceiling-mounted air conditioning, and the food ranged from below average to poor. My main course (salmon) was served lukewarm to cold and had the lack of seasoning you’d expect from a care home meal. After I complained, the (very modest) salmon fillet was reluctantly taken away by the mediocre waitstaff. It was then heated in the microwave and served again, supposedly warm – surely that can’t have been the standard, can it? The other dishes for our group of four guests were also of rather below-average quality and, above all, just as lukewarm. A side note – my piece of fish was still raw in the middle – that was the end of my appetite. All in all, this restaurant has plenty of room for improvement – I hope this review has given the team food for thought? Until then, however, I’ll be looking elsewhere – a shame, unfortunately a maximum of 2 out of 5 … Slan … Just a quick update: I’ve only just found out that we were also let down by the prices! This is because the portion of mashed potato, which we considered part of the side dish, was charged at over €5 extra! Serving up meagre, poorly prepared dishes and passing on the extra costs to customers is simply unacceptable! Hence just one star, although no star would be more appropriate. I will never visit this place again and can only warn others against it – shame on you!
