The best restaurants in Donegal

22/09/2026: Excellent service, food and venue. Be prepared to wait for a table if you haven't booked, this restaurant is clearly popular. The food quality and presentation is 10/10 even when they are extremely busy! Highly recommended.

21/09/2026: Simply fantastic. Super friendly people, great food. I had the lamb stew. For those from Swabia: expect something similar to Gaisburger Marsch. I wouldn't have expected to eat such a good stew outside of Swabia.

14/09/2026: This place is to die for, you must go. Service, vibe and food all 11/10. I got the raspberry scone with clotted butter and jam and a green tea. Great spot!!

12/09/2026: This place made my day! Not that it was bad to begin with but it was totally enhanced by going to the Blueberry Tea room! The vegetable soup and club sandwich were so comforting on a rainy Irish afternoon. Plus all of the staff were attentive to everyone. They were all busting their asses but did it with joy. If you are in Donegal go there! If there is a line wait in it. It is worth it!!

06/09/2026: Magical atmosphere and excellent beer ❤️ I would have gone there seven nights a week. Live traditional music. Wonderful locals.

15/08/2026: Good night out and Guinness goes down well great music and dancing

10/08/2026: The only issue with this restaurant is trying to decide what to order! After awhile most menus start looking the same, not here! Unique and very well done! I was lucky to start my stay in Donegal here and it's last place when I leave. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

03/08/2026: Good vegan food, only a 1 or 2 options though. Great service and a light atmosphere with plants. Great coffee

06/06/2026: We went here on Valentine’s Day and it was brilliant. The staff were amazing and very friendly. There were many gluten free options. I had the feather blade beef for main and it was delicious.

21/05/2026: Fine locally sourced haddock for fish and chips. Unforgettable service by the hilarious, comedienne Jo.

30/07/2026: Wow!! What a delicious and beautiful breakfast! We got the pancakes & the french toast with fresh fruit and bacon was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend!

17/07/2026: This is a great find in Donegal town. One of the best breakfast in my trips to Ireland.

20/08/2026: Simply excellent! I had the sausage roll and a cappuccino which were both first class.

31/07/2026: What an amazing place! Fantastic food and super friendly staff. Very chilled relaxing atmosphere in the seating area. Visiting is a MUST!

22/08/2026: Cafe inside a small shopping centre. Beef taco was very good. Service also good. Took home some pastries for later and they were tasty.

25/07/2026: Beautiful food, massive portions, loads of choice, plenty of vegetarian options

02/09/2026: Brilliant spot, brilliant staff

21/06/2026: Great big servings of good food, highly recommend

08/09/2026: Paid €15 for a take away ham & cheese sandwich. It was handed to me in a grease-stained box. It consisted of a chunk of thick, tasteless, old foccacia bread with a sliver of fatty ham, a tiny slice of cheese and lots of lettuce and thickly sliced onion, dry as a bone. Awful. I wanted to return most of it the next morning but they were closed. If you can't get a ham & cheese sandwich right there is no hope.

03/09/2026: Tasty quiche, pasties, croque madames, cakes and other options for dining in or take away. Lots of vegan options. Friendly wait staff and just a good homey feel. Grabbed stuff for take away a few times.

23/06/2026: Nice little B&B room clean and tidy perfect for a one night stop.

16/06/2026: good simple, clean and comfortable rooms. Great breakfast. 5 mins walk to town.

21/09/2026: I went there by chance to take shelter from the rain one late morning. It was a lovely discovery—a place with original decor and great music that made me want to stay longer…

09/09/2026: Visitors from NY. We were in there on Sunday at 10:30pm and there was a guitarist that was changing the lyrics of songs to make homophobic slurs. For example, he was singing “queers” instead of “years”. Really sad and disappointed that the pub allowed it so we left and won’t be back. A shame because the bar is beautiful.

15/09/2026: We had overlooked the fact that it is part of a hotel, so it took a bit of searching. We ate in the lunch restaurant and it was delicious! Pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food, and all that for a reasonable price. Highly recommended!

14/09/2026: Delicious food with great service.

31/08/2026: I hate to say this but the supermac beef patties are terrible, the bread and dressings perfect. I had heard how great this place was but as fore I was disappointed. Now I hear the chicken is much better so I will be giving it another go. But definitely not the burgers.

31/08/2026: Food was cold and reheated and the lady at the counter said they had no ice cream left after we had placed an order of two ice cream, so she gave us a refund, and then 5 mins later we were sat eating our food and she served someone 3 ice creams. 20 mins later she served 2 other people ice cream. Very annoyed by this . why is say no to us and then serve multiple people. My friend waited 30 mins for a nugget and chip , ( it's 9:30 at night by the way. Still had a good bit of staff on and they all were standing there....) when I went up to flag this issue they said oh the Order was sitting on the counter and this staff member said oh ye I just found that lying there I will drop it down to you In a few mins. Very poor customer service overall
