The best restaurants in Donegal

20/08/2025: I'll give 5 stars for the food alone. Had an amazing wok Chicken and noodle dinner because I wanted a change from burgers and chips. Food was stellar, but staff was meh. Not super friendly or warm, but the food made up for it.

19/08/2025: The place was one of the few open in the city, so it was very crowded. Despite this, they immediately seated us and took our order. Only then did they make us wait 45 minutes! Overall, the food was decent, and the staff was kind and friendly.

23/07/2025: This is a good one! Various options for breakfast and brunch. High quality food and above all: wonderful espresso. Friendly staff

14/07/2025: Tasty, fresh food. Great selection on the menu. Friendly local staff. Great early morning buzz.

04/07/2025: Great spot for breakfast. Exceptional service, food was tasty and well presented

06/08/2025: Five stars. 8 of us dined here for a 70th birthday party. The staff were very friendly and the food was very nice. One small flaw was the steak could have been seared better. But a lovely place to dine

03/08/2025: Genuinely the most incredible seafood dishes I’ve ever had, you NEED to try here. Jo is an absolute darling too, everything about this place was perfection, make sure you book in advance to get a table Definitely recommend any of their king prawn & hake dishes, as well as their elderflower fizz

23/07/2025: We went too early, there was no atmosphere yet, but in the evening there is live music! Beautiful terrace and very charming place

08/11/2024: Great coffee. Fantastic, friendly shopkeeper.

08/08/2025: Went to find a dairy-free treat, and discovered a new artist. Sat upstairs and enjoyed beautiful art, tucking into delicious vegan chocolate mousse. Friendly staff. I hear the vegan black forest gâteau is to die for! Definitely plan on going back

07/08/2025: Excellent food and service. The seafood chowder is outstanding, it’s honestly a meal on its own. We also had a chicken club sandwich and always hungry 15 year old struggled to finish it.. The Parmesan fries are beautiful and the portions are huge.. The staff are friendly and helpful and professional.. In my opinion this is probably the best casual dining spot in Donegal town and its environs Also the coffee and cakes selection is not to be missed.

19/08/2025: Probably the coolest Irish pub I've ever been to and I've been to a lot. Doesn't get much better than this.

18/08/2025: Huge bar, different rooms, wide beer selection

18/08/2025: One of the best restaurants I've been to in Ireland. Great value for money. We ordered the pasta and noodles, and they were incredible. The staff was also super friendly. Everything was perfect.

16/08/2025: We were here for breakfast, and it all tasted really good, the waitresses were really nice and seemed to really like what they do.

24/07/2025: Bacon tasted like shoe leather according to my 82 year old mother, not crispy like the menu described.

23/07/2025: Simple rooms in this former motel - no amenities but great location.

02/07/2025: We had breakfast here. In addition to the super delicious and fresh baked goods, they also offered bagels and pancakes. The Americano and hot chocolate were great, but the pastries were truly delicious and fresh! It's a shame we're moving on today.

21/06/2025: What a gem in Donegal! We were greeted with genuine smiles and the staff make you feel so welcome from the moment you walk in. Their cinnamon buns are absolutely divine - warm, gooey, and perfectly spiced - while their cookies are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The combination of outstanding baked goods and incredibly friendly service makes this place a must-visit!

25/07/2025: the burger i got was enormous, price was ok, and service was friendly and efficient

19/05/2025: Just Had dinner here. Ivan the waiter was absolutely fantastic. Entertaining and attentive. The food was 1st class.

07/07/2025: Tasty lunch, staff very attentive, will definitely return.

06/05/2025: I had a wonderful lunch today at Chapter Twenty at the Mill Park Hotel. I started with a pint of Guinness, the lunch special was roasted leg of lamb with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. Absolutely delicious!! I normally don’t get dessert, but I was tempted by the Baileys cheesecake. It was served with the dip of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and strawberries. It was wonderful! I ended the meal with a Baileys coffee which was made perfectly. The food was fantastic, the service was impeccable! I definitely recommend this restaurant with five stars!

15/07/2025: Hello. We’d like to share our disappointing experience at your café. We approached a staff member (not sure if they were a cashier or a waiter) to ask about the price of the tiramisu. Unfortunately, they didn’t know and just ran off saying “one moment” — we ended up waiting for about three minutes while they were gone. Eventually, they came back and told us it was €3 for a portion of tiramisu served in a plastic container, around 200 grams. Sadly, the dessert was very disappointing: it was hard in texture, had an overpowering smell of alcohol, and the taste was unpleasant — we couldn’t finish it and had to throw it away. Moreover, no one told us if we were allowed to sit anywhere, so we ended up eating on a worn-out bench in the shopping centre. We also had to ask for spoons separately. Overall, there was no proper service and the quality of the food was extremely poor.

11/07/2025: Beautiful food. The staff are brilliant. Welcoming and warm. Can definitely recommend.
