Lemon Tree
Letterkenny
02/04/2025: Excellent time in this restaurant. Personally welcoming and attentive.
For the meals, everything was perfect or almost (the 5-star hotels in the area are far from having this level and should come and take cooking lessons here.)
It's refined, and the flavors and textures intertwine with balance.
This place deserves a Michelin star.
And the prices are quite affordable, especially with this quality.
I recommend.
07/03/2025: We ate here for the first time in October 2024. Absolutely blown away by the quality of the food and the impeccable service. Excellent value for money and the standard of food is the best experienced in a very long time. This is a must visit if in County Donegal. The beef cheeks and monkfish mains were superb.

Yellow Pepper, menu
Letterkenny
23/04/2025: So i didn't book, I just turned up. The place was packed and I didn't expect to get a seat. The lovely waitress asked me to wait, about 10mins, and there was a table available for me. The staff were very attentive and the food was excellent.
I had seafood platter to start and it was full of mussels, squid, chowder, and mackerel. Delish.
I would love to return with friends to share the experience with them.
20/04/2025: Great food and atmosphere, with an acoustic that makes it easy on the ear as well.

Snugborough

16/04/2025: Snugborough is hands down one of the best restaurants in Letterkenny. When me and my family walked in for lunch we were greeted by the wonderful staff and lovely atmosphere. As we sat down we got a great selection of food, and I tell you now, it was IMMENSE. As a whole, go eat here. Its amazing.
12/04/2025: 1st time visit excellent food and service will be back again

Oasis
Letterkenny
03/04/2025: Food was very poor.
Called in for some dinner. The salt and chilli was probably the worst iv ever had. No flavour whatsoever. If there wasn't a dip it would have been a very boring dish.
We got two pasta's. The seafood pasta tasted like canned sauce from Tesco's with some garnish threw over the top. Fish was ok. Just super underwhelming. Didn't finish it. Just picked at it. The carbonara was not carbonara it was pasta in a white wine cream sauce. It was a little better but could make better at home.
The staff were brilliant and the food was served quickly. Just always disappointing when you go out and spend over €50 for a meal that you could have made better for a lot cheaper at home.
01/04/2025: Food in here is 10/10 highly recommended, giving it a visit

Himalayan Cafe
Letterkenny
11/03/2025: Enjoyed a delicious eggs Benedict and scrambled eggs on toast, with an Americano ☕️.
Excellent service from Jethro, attentive and funny!
Would highly recommend going for a spot of breakfast 🍳
01/03/2025: I was looking for a quiet place where I could eat lunch in peace and in a pleasant atmosphere, I was pleasantly surprised, not far from the center of Letterkenny, almost under the cathedral on Church Line Street, I found a small but charming restaurant. The waiters were nice and friendly, and the food was incredibly delicious, I recommend it to anyone who appreciates taste.

Brewery
Letterkenny
25/03/2025: Had a steak sandwich. Chips 4.8 / 5. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, best chips I had in a while. Why not 5 / 5? Maybe add a little twist like adding a bit of beef fat Iin the fryer. Steak 4.5 / 5 perfectly medium but a little bit anaemic looking, bit hotter pan for a good maillard reaction but definitely a good steak. Not a salad person but this one was good, maybe some vinaigrette to keep it mouster. Goes perfectly with a Kinnegar Craggy Bay IPA. Will I be back? For sure! Overall 4.6
25/03/2025: We've called in a few times for a drink and decided today to have the good. Service was fantastic and the food came quite quickly. Every part of our meal was absolutely delicious. We had a local ipa with our meal which was also really nice. Also really lovely atmosphere. Definitely coming back. Highly recommend 👌

Arena Seven
Letterkenny
25/03/2025: Nice local place to play pool with friends
10/02/2025: Great place to go for family fun - we enjoyed the pool, arcades & bowling. Nice choice of drinks and snacks. The bowling alleys don't run as smooth as they could but otherwise a great experience. Parking also in very high demand so finding a space can be hard.

Orchard Inn
Letterkenny
15/04/2025: Went back recently for their steak night. I'd the ribeye, friend had the steak sandwich. Both were very well presented. Unfortunately my steak was over cooked nearly welldone when ordered medium rare, friend steak sandwich was actually cooked brilliantly, seems to be very hard to get a, steak cooked to requested temperature so a bit strange that there was such a difference.
The Peper sauce was amazing.
Atmosphere was very dead, it was early on in the evening but still felt very sterile and still.
I'll be back to give it another shot anyway
09/04/2025: Calls itself a Gatro pub, that’s a bit OTT, but very good pub grub.
Steak night on Wednesday, my ribeye had some tough gristle but overall was cooked to my liking.
Very good Guinness.

KFC
Letterkenny
17/03/2025: The truth is, I hadn't gone in a long time, it improved a lot
17/02/2025: what a bunch of cowboys you are, just been into KFC in Letterkenny tried to order at the till, but told no, have to order at the board, when the order came, there were 2 drumsticks which I don't like, and tried to explain that as I tried to order at the till and explain this, the server went to another team member who then said that I had no choice, even though while ordering it doesn't say comes with drumsticks wether you like or not. I then asked for my money for over €22 back. Also the manager was in a meeting and could not be disturbed, how convenient. Complete disregard for customers
