The best restaurants in Donegal

12/03/2025: Lovely cafe with excellent food and great service, located right in the heart of Donegal. I had the shepherd's pie and it was as filling as it was delicious.

10/03/2025: Love this little find in donegal town ❤️ great lunch: soup with sandwiches and vegan Dahl 😋

18/03/2025: We came to Donegal late about 8 pm, i search and is the best puntuation in Google maps. So we went there. The first contact a waiter that speaks Spanish, that it's a point when in your group not everybody speaks English. When we get the food all was wonderful, probably one of the best hamburguers in ireland that i tried, but the best was the turkey, the stuffing was like my family recipe, tasty and moist that in a turkey is quite difficult. Also the desserts were wonderful. If you came to Donegal came here. Very recommended. Dock in the harbour and have a good time.

12/03/2025: Simply excellent. Ireland is generous and friendly. This restaurant reflects all that. And very good music as a bonus. Then on to MC Cafferty's who recommended this good restaurant to us.

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

24/02/2025: This is one the best restaurants in donegal town. The hype of the restaurant comes in light with it's huge queue before the dinner starts. I am not sure if they take walkins as I have been to this place twice but had booked in advance. Seeing the crowd at the restaurant I would definitely recommend to book the table well in advance even when you planning on a weekday but surely book if coming on a weekend. There is a great variety of dishes with vegetarian and meat options. The second time I visited, we had ordered spring rolls and seafood chowder for starters. They were absolutely tasty and came within record time I'll say. For mains we had ordered carbonara, chicken Supreme with sauce, kofta balls, and a burger with fries. The food and the service was amazing and couldn't hold back with the amazing deserts as well. The staff were very friendly and welcoming at all the time. Toilets were kept clean and tidy to the point. Photos might give you a better insight of the place and food. Do visit this place if you are in Donegal time and looking for some great place for fine dine.

06/01/2025: This is one the finest restaurants I have been in donegal. The hype of the restaurant comes in light with it's huge queue before the dinner starts. There is usually waiting list for around 20 mins time but it's good to go ahead and pre-book it one the weekends especially. There is a great variety of dishes with vegetarian and meat options.

22/02/2025: We had a really delicious meal in The Quay restaurant with friends last night and thoroughly enjoyed every dish made with wonderful local ingredients. The smoked haddock dish was another level! Such a warm welcoming team and the atmosphere and beautiful coastal decor is so relaxing and the perfect backdrop to enjoy a top quality meal. Cannot wait to go back. Txs to Jo for the lovely welcome and the team for looking after us so well. Five stars all the way.

15/02/2025: Had a lovely one day delayed Valentines evening. The staff were so welcoming and friendly, especially Jo. Highly recommend!!!

17/03/2025: Had a couple of pints in here yesterday afternoon. Small enough bar and gets really busy when music is on. Good atmosphere.

17/03/2025: Great pub. Beer garden out the back for a nice day, over looking the river. Great pint.

25/02/2025: Fantastic option if you want to have something different in town. Very large portions, but kid friendly and satiating. Inside a grocery building, but very well done and feels private.

04/02/2025: Definitely a place you have to try! They have really good food, which I wasn’t fully expecting. It was busy and there’s minimal setting so you may have to wait or order takeout. Staff is super friendly and you can tell the food was fresh! Would try the fish tacos and loaded fries! Slightly on the more expensive side but worth it!

02/03/2025: Heavy-handed bouncers and a lot of underage drinkers. I'd give this a miss if you're over the age of 17.

23/02/2025: Huge place, tvs everywhere, we had to go looking for a barman !!!

17/01/2025: Amazing food with a smile always 🥰

17/01/2025: Roisin has magical hands, she is backing with love & passion and you can feel that from her bakery. Best cakes ever! Highly recommended.

15/01/2025: Fantastic experience! Highest food quality, great service and magical atmosphere. We enjoyed breakfast here during our stay at the Gateway Lodge, highly recommended!

07/01/2025: Really lovely place,nice food,staff,location .just fab♥️🌹so Christmassy in December.Fab!

28/01/2025: Had the best experience with them. The staff was really nice and warm. The girls on reception just make you feel comfortable with their chats and good suggestions about places to visit. The manager is pretty chill and friendly guy as well. We stayed there for 2 days and were to check out on the day of storm ewoyn but the staff told us to stay longer that day without any additional charges given the weather. It's not common these days even though we didn't ask for it. They're genuinely gem of people. ✨✨

17/01/2025: 1st time staying here and will be our new go to location if staying in Donegal town. Very clean and modern + a special mention to the girl who checked us in on 16/01/25 she is a credit to the hotel.

25/03/2025: Fab place to stay on the middle of domegal town

25/01/2025: We have a family lunch here on New Year 2025. Great portions of food and very delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful. We will come back again for sure. 👍

05/10/2024: Mega tasty and fresh. Super friendly staff. Another restaurant that I would like to take home with me. So if you're looking for a restaurant in Donegal, I can only recommend this one.
