The best restaurants in Donegal

07/04/2025: The food here is really good. A very good breakfast with lovely roasted potatoes. Had lunch once really good homemade food. Very friendly staff.

06/04/2025: For 10€ the portion was much larger than expected. It was nice to have a vegan option clearly labeled. I enjoyed the spice level.

31/03/2025: Lovely little restaurant overlooking Donegal Bay. Food was very good and prices were reasonable. Small concise menu covered each food group. The dessert menu was very extensive and the deserts were delicious. Warm friendly service and attentive waitress. A very pleasant experience.

29/03/2025: Ate here tonight, absolutely brilliant. Was very well looked after by Jo and the team and the food was first class. Had the bruschetta to start followed by the crab linguine. Seriously people, if you do not eat here, it is your loss. SERIOUSLY!

12/04/2025: Booked a table easily online here during our stay in Donegal. My husband and I shared the spiced king prawn starter, he had the hot n spicy pizza and I had the harbour fishcakes with a side of onion rings and they were delicious and very filling! We were seated and served very quickly by friendly and welcoming staff. I would highly recommend coming here to eat if you're ever in Donegal.

11/04/2025: Visited Donegal last week and had a fantastic dinner at The Harbour. We unknowingly arrived on a holiday (Mother's day!) and they fit in our group of 5 even though they were booked up with reservations. Our waiter Cahir was exceptional, patient and very knowledgeable about dietary restrictions and allergies. Food and atmosphere was phenomenal, and it was a lovely welcome to Donegal. Would highly recommend!!

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 😋

20/03/2025: Coffee great cake disappointing carrot cake very dry not at all nice told server then it was discussed with another member of staff which didn't seem that bothered we paid bill left shame really as looked lovely cafe but won't go again .

19/03/2025: Lovely food and the service was excellent and not too expensive would recommend

22/03/2025: Stopped in for some coffee and tea here and the owners were so lovely! They gave us great recommendations for our trip and the drinks were delicious 😋 Thanks again for your kindness!! 😊☺️

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

13/04/2025: Underwhelming. Server Graeme was especially unfriendly, no eye contact.. no chat, very direct. Seemed to be tension between staff, as no staff engaged with us at all apart from the female maître d. Would expect more for the cost of food & drinks. Low music also. Drinks more expensive than temple bar, although I was impressed they offered gluten free pasta. Unfortunately it was quite dry, not creamy at all & the huge portion was wasteful. Won’t be returning, although visually the venue is fantastic

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.

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 !!!

04/04/2025: Excellent food and great friendly staff. Definitely be back shortly.

29/03/2025: Beautiful food as always and staff are very friendly

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.

13/03/2025: Lovely spot close to town. Rooms nicely presented with good facilities. Staff great. Easy

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.
