The best restaurants in Letterkenny

07/08/2026: This is an excellent restaurant. Despite a rather unpreposessing location (looks like it's next to a car park in a shopping centre), the food is of the highest quality, and the service very attentive. The amuses bouches are well executed, and the wine list well thought out (two New Zealand Sauvignons!). We had the scallops and the crab tartlet starters (both very good), and the monkfish & pork belly and hake mains. The monkfish was lovely, the pork belly a bit underwhelming (a la pulled pork) but the hake (not an easy fish to get right) was absolutely perfect. Dessert (salted caramel tart, but more like a pave) was also sublime. Way above expectations.

05/08/2026: Only word to describe this place is PERFECTION

08/08/2026: Excellent place. We ate there twice at lunchtime, a year apart, and nothing had changed: the quality of the food and the friendliness of the welcome were just as good. Special thanks to Carol ;-)

04/08/2026: I celebrated a significant birthday here on Saturday 1st and I cannot recommend The Brewery highly enough. They were very communicative and accommodating throughout the whole process. I hosted fifty people for food and drinks in The Shack. It was a perfect venue, private bar and toilet facilities in a very bright and playful area, it also has a retractable roof, lucky for us it was a gorgeous evening and we had an open roof which only added to the celebratory atmosphere. The food was fantastic, everybody commented on how great it was, we had gone for a buffet with lasagne and a veggie curry, rice, salad and chips. The staff were all sound but I’d like to especially thank Carol who arranged everything and looked after us all so well! I believe the whole venue and pub was super busy that night but you’d never guess it, we were given ample time to enjoy a toast, speeches and a cake without any stress. Thanks Carol, it was a roaring success! 🤩

05/08/2026: Very friendly staff, clean environment

04/08/2026: Extremely fast service and tasty food. Really enjoyed our meal here in Letterkenny. Staff were very pleasant and helpful.

28/07/2026: Really delicious coffee. The halloumi brioche was also outstanding.

25/07/2026: No marshmallows for hot chocolate, cappuchino in a flat white sized cup and tasted more like a flat white. Also no chocolate for the top. Coffee tasted nice but much stronger than a regular cappuchino. Didn't have food.

14/07/2026: Food was amazing..Great service by staff

13/07/2026: Very clean kfc and has good air conditioning which was brilliant on warm day. Staff were very friendly and service was very quick. Food quality was very good- best kfc I have had in a long time

18/07/2026: That was the best chicken i ever had. Perfect amount of sauce and chips were legendary too. Cook was really friendly and appreciative. Overall extremely happy with service.

17/07/2026: Absolutely outstanding barbeque, I'd argue it's the best in all of Ireland and served by the most friendly guy. The brisket and burnt ends were out of this world as well as the sauces and sides. Lovely sitting area beside the brewery makes for a great meal with delicious food and pints. If you ever find yourself in Letterkenny this is a stop you need to make

25/07/2026: Food was good, the part of our order that was correct! The toast was brought out looking like it was either cut by a blind person or oreo the robot. No one came to follow up to make sure we got everything we ordered our if we needed anything else, or our drink refilled. The bathroom sinks are pretty cool and oreo the robot server. When one of the male servers was clearing a table next to us, he turned to ask if everything was OK? I answered no, and he turned around and continued clearing the table. The manager did finally come to apologize after being asked for him.

09/07/2026: It is a very nice restaurant, it is very clean and the vintage car theme is very nice. We ordered 3 fish and chips, then the robot came up to us, which is very high tech. The fish and chips were very good and it didn't take long for the robot to come. We would recommend this to anyone in the Donegal area, it is really worth the visit, we would definitely come back.

22/07/2026: Lively environment.. amazing staff and such a great service with delicious food.. absolutely loved it..

22/07/2026: Great dog friendly restaurant with a covered terrace area that is so beautifully decorated, you forget you’re on a terrace. Loads of delicious vegetarian options; the shepardless pie being a standout.

26/07/2026: Good spot for all ages... staff were very friendly

18/07/2026: We would like to sincerely thank Arena7, and especially the owner and manager, for their warm welcome and wonderful evening organized for the Ukrainian community! 🇺🇦❤️ Everything was top-notch — the atmosphere, the service, the delicious food. We truly felt the care and hospitality. We deeply appreciate your support for Ukrainians in Ireland and your help in making this such a great evening. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We'll definitely come back 🙏

23/06/2026: The most miserable "bowl" of chicken wings I have ever had the misfortune of ordering. €10.95 for 7 pieces, which in this place constitutes a bowl here....burnt on one side too.

03/05/2026: Beautiful food! All three of us loved our meal, wish this restaurant was closer to home but we would definitely visit again if and when we visit letterkenny again!

18/07/2026: A fine burger, but the location and atmosphere make a return unlikely for me.

15/07/2026: 5 June 26 - we found this through a search and were delighted to eat here rather than trying to find somewhere to park in Letterkenny proper. This is so much more convenient. Don't be put off by the location, through an industrial estate. // Katsu Chicken Burger - very tasty with good sauce; Gambas Pil Pil - tastes as good as it looks in my pic; Donegal Steak Sambo, and sweet potato fries. // Also discovered 'Football Special' non-alco drink for the first time (check the internet for that too). // Very good quality, well cooked, and very tasty. We would have gone for breakfast when we moved on from the area to our next rental, but they don't open Tuesday & Wednesday.

12/07/2026: Great food and service. Pleasant place.
