The best restaurants in Letterkenny

06/09/2026: Quirky with excellent menu. Caters for parties/groups as well as individuals. Very friendly and efficient staff AND they serve my top favourite dessert 🍨 Baked Alaska which was absolutely fabulous 👌 highly recommend.

14/08/2026: They are so awesome. The meals here are so underrated. But they do not have a website. How do I contact them to offer them one?

27/09/2026: Always a lovely meal - breakfast, lunch or dinner. Staff are always attentive and kind. Great quality food

24/09/2026: This place has a cool vibe and lovely style. The food and drinks were yummy (I had a gorgeous passionfruit mocktail).

28/09/2026: My favourite café in Letterkenny! 🥞💞 The best pancakes from the best chef!! Honourable mentions: Nasi Goreng and French Toast 🤤 Great service too! Shoutout to Paul 💞💞

23/09/2026: Was excited to eat in this cafe after researching and was very happy that we did. It's located on a beautiful hill in the town and has a lovely vibe inside. The staff and chef were very friendly and the food itself was delicious (and I am very fussy eater).

29/08/2026: My friend and I stopped by after a long, cold trip from Slieve League and were greeted by the lovely owner. She and her husband offered us soup to warm up — it was the best soup I’ve ever had, we felt so much better after. We ordered the duck wrap and the Chinese dry hotpot. The duck wrap was Beijing-style, so moist and soft, tasted totally authentic. The Chinese dry hotpot was a little too spicy for me, but the beef literally melted in my mouth — I don’t know how they got it that buttery. Absolute must-try. Second visit: We came back and tried the wonton soup, Japanese yakisoba, Malaysian nasi goreng, crispy chicken strips, and crispy wontons. I expected the wontons to be the American cream cheese version, but they’re actually authentic Chinese-style with shrimp and other ingredients inside — wrapper thin and crispy. The wonton soup tasted like real homecooking. I loved the nasi goreng so much — the rice doesn’t stick together and stays plump and moist, best fried rice technique I’ve had. My friend absolutely loved the yakisoba, it was really good, kids would love it too. The owner also gave us a steamed bun, a new product with high-quality bamboo shoot and pork filling. The outside was soft with a hint of sweetness like milk bread, and the filling blended together nicely. It’ll be a great light meal for a late night snack or breakfast. Highly recommend — great food, great people.

15/05/2026: The hotel and staff were amazing! Great bar/restaurant and breakfast area. Just a short walk to St Eunan’s Cathedral. And get some seafood chowder at The Brewery Bar on the way back to Dillon’s. I loved my experience in Letterkenny.

07/05/2026: Just back from a two night stay in Dillon's, it's a lovely hotel and right smack in the middle of Letterkenny and the bars and restaurants. We ate in Dillon's last night and the food was delicious as was breakfast this morning. But Dillon's best asset is their staff, they are a friendly, helpful bunch and deserve praise. Their attitude made our visit even better. Thankyou 🤗
