22/12/2024: I had emailed the owner to book a table for 2 to celebrate a big birthday for my husband and mentioned to her of the occasion at the time of booking. She requested further information with a professional attention to detail. On arrival to the restaurant, I was very happy with our table by the window. The owner herself took our order and was very warm and friendly introducing herself and having the chat. We shared a Bottle of Spanish Tempranillo for €28 which was good. We both decided to forego a starter to focus on the main event. I chose the 10z Rib Eye Steak (€32.50) with mushroom and onions and silkie whiskey and maple sauce (recommended by the owner) and included side of my choice (fries). My husband picked the 9oz Sirloin steak (€30.95) with mushrooms and onions and peppercorn sauce and (upgraded) side of garlic herb roasted potatoes with a supplement of €1.50. We both added 4 craft beer battered king prawns for €6.95 each to our steaks. We were both impressed with the steak (& how they were cooked to our asking), battered prawns, respective sauces, mushrooms and herby potatoes. We thought there was excess onions on each of our plates. We shared the infamous caramel crunchie Sundae at €9.50 which was good. Overall, I did think the dessert options were an area to improve on the menu. I was delighted that staff marked my husband's birthday with a flare candle suitably embarrassing him. I loved the fuss made of him and the occasion so big thank you🙌🥳 I would recommend here for dinner and a special occasion where a deserved fuss is made on request. Hope to return in the future when we are up that neck of the woods.

28/12/2024: The food, atmosphere and staff here are just the best around. We come to Rathmullan on holiday twice a year and Belle's is always a highlight- we visit nearly every day! Thoroughly recommend the amazing cakes too. The bread is fantastic

25/12/2024: We can across this place after the getting the car ferry from Buncranna and had an amazing breakfast. They bake fantastic breads and all sorts. Our food was outstanding. I had devilled mushrooms cooked in a rosemary butter with smoked paprika. It was a year ago and I still think about it-yum :)) A must visit if you’re in the area

29/10/2024: Seafood chowder is unreal, the fish and chips, guiness

21/10/2024: Top class, food,service, and atmosphere were all top notch

13/12/2024: Brilliant. Called in today for a cheeky take away. Chicken goujons and chips. Their chips have a tasty seasoning and the portion was massive. Fionnuala and co are brilliant and so friendly. Drop in for main meal or dessert. They have specials that change all the time. Check out their instagram for videos and photos which are a real representation of what you will get. Never had a poor meal in here.

04/01/2025: The best seafood chowder in Ireland! Cozy atmosphere and friendly stuff. Definitely recommend

04/01/2025: Had the seafood chowder with wheaten bread and pure irish butter!!! It’s definitely the best I’ve had in my life its deliciously thick and creamy with so much fresh sea food a proper good feed. The staff are really lovely and gave us good chat, its just one of those spots ill have to go back to every time I’m in dunfanaghy. We went two days in a row it’s just that genuinely beautiful. Coffees were lovely too!

18/10/2024: Delicious food, friendly service

09/10/2024: What a great cafe! We called in by chance and both ordered the small fish and chips. Well. if that is small, I am on a different planet! There were two pieces of fish and a mountain of chips. My husband was glad he'd ordered the small one, too, as he ended up with one of my pieces of fish. It was such good value for the price, and the staff were lovely. Service was efficient, and we had two check backs to make sure everything was OK. There were lots of locals in there, which is always a good sign, and if I lived locally I'd eat there several times a week!

11/01/2025: Went there for a wake just after Christmas and the food and service was brilliant.

04/01/2025: The carbonara is so creamy and the service was quick and The atmosphere was beautiful

15/11/2024: Cosy upstairs restaurant serving delicious food. Flavours and menu choice are exceptional. Rabbit is a real winner. Seamus strikes the right balance as an informed, efficient and pleasant front of house operator (ask about the sea shell salt cellars). Deserves all accolades. Will definitely be back.

31/10/2024: Great food and great service! We are very happy that we found this place when we were on our way along the coast. We didn't expect this kind of international kitchen in County Donegal. This restaurant is definitely worth a stop. Thanks for the warm welcome and a great evening!

31/12/2024: Lamb Shank was an absolute delight and the Guiness was wonderful! Very cool atmosphere.

27/12/2024: Great place for drinks and something to eat. Photos don’t do justice to the meal we had. Great!!!
