The best restaurants in Donabate

28/04/2026: Steak was overcooked asked for medium but arrived well done, a little disappointing

23/04/2026: Fabulous food. Really enjoyed it. Got the warm goats cheese salad and a portion of really nice chips. My friends got the special of the day, the vegetarian option- ravioli with garlic bread. Delicious! Waitress was really friendly, service was prompt.

03/07/2026: such a gem in the village! friendliest staff and tastiest coffee! Refuse to buy a coffee machine as this is such a treat :)

26/04/2026: Was in there recently, not a cold day but not a particularly warm day either ,both back and front doors open i asked for the front door to be closed,the staff member closed the back door but not the front door through which a cool breeze was blowing, pity ,as this is normally a cosy spot .Also no paper towels in toilet,small, but an important point.Coffee was good.

24/07/2026: Generous portions, food very solid with friendly, helpful and considerate staff who always look after us and our dietary requirements. Always a pleasure dealing with them.

28/06/2026: One of the worst meals I've had in a long time. We ordered several pasta dishes and pizzas, and everything was hugely overpriced for the quality. It felt more like a kebab takeaway than a proper Italian restaurant. The portions were enormous, but that's about the only positive. They seemed to rely on very cheap ingredients—huge amounts of pasta covered in what tasted like canned tomato sauce. The seafood pasta was especially disappointing. It came with smoked salmon, which completely overpowered the dish, and was drowned in a thick red tomato sauce. It was nothing like a proper seafood pasta. The pizza wasn't much better either. The dough was far too thick, and overall the quality didn't justify the high prices. I chose this restaurant because of its good reviews, but it was a complete disappointment. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

25/07/2026: Great course greens are immaculate

21/07/2026: The golf course has taken on a whole new look since the plantation of new trees.the course itself is in fantastic condition and you can see were the staff have put in the effort which is paying off. There is so much more to do,I can safely say that balcarrick golf club is going in the right direction.

24/05/2026: Having lived in Brussels and France previously I’ve been lucky enough to experience many a wonderful bakery. Now having settled back home in Ireland I can safely say an Bácús Beag is my favourite bakery of all. Such wonderful quality sweet and savoury breads and pastries. The topped focaccia is my absolute favourite of their many delicious options 🙌

10/05/2026: Best spot in Donabate for coffee. Beautiful spot for lunch. Highly recommend.
