The best restaurantsof irish in Donegal

27/10/2025: Best meal we have had in a long time. Food was absolutely amazing, the cocktails were top class. Couldn’t fault the lemon tree from start to finish

26/10/2025: A restaurant where I eat superbly. Its dishes are full of great flavors and amazing combinations of ingredients. The service is very attentive, friendly, and very patient with the diners. The atmosphere surrounding the place is magical, and with the great selection of songs, the atmosphere becomes a charming place. The facilities are very clean and very well-equipped. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because of the price, which is a bit high, to be honest. But if you're in the city, I recommend trying this very special experience, even if it's just once. I recommend ordering the pasta with vegetables and the seafood gratin; they are the two best things I tried.

11/10/2025: Cosy bar, friendly staff, once you enter it's hard to leave

11/10/2025: Stopped of for coffee and pancakes after visiting Malin Head As it is the most northely pub in Ireland, it is not to be missed The pub has been in the Farren name for over 200 years We were served by a 7th generation Farren

08/11/2025: Everyone there was lovely. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was unbeatable. Would love to come back again.

29/10/2025: We love the chowder, it's the best. And the desserts are delicious. Plus, the staff was very friendly.

22/10/2025: Nice pub. The bartender is funny and really helpful. The decoration is interesting. And the Irish coffee is really nice.

12/10/2025: The most incredible, the most beautiful, and the warmest of all the pubs we discovered throughout our road trip in Ireland. This one is a true gem, the owner's former house, which is actually a series of small rooms worth visiting, each one retaining its old-world charm, with knick-knacks, a piano, an old desk, period photos, and more. A true gem ♥️

30/10/2025: Went here on recommendation and weren't disappointed. I had the Pork Belly Noodles, my wife had the Monkfish Scampi and my son the Smash Burger. He was mightily impressed with onion ring inside the 🍔. If we're in the area again, we'll definitely go back. Top place.

14/10/2025: Fantastic place! It would have a Bib Gourmand for sure if it was in a metro population area. Bob runs a great shop, Chef is very creative and has a great menu. The cocktails and wine list is top notch. If you are anywhere near the Buncrana/inishowen area, you have to visit this place, I can assure that you won't be disappointed.

04/11/2025: Beautiful little cafe on a wee side street. Always visit here with my cousins when i visit home! Beautiful interior, fresh baked goos and foods & friendly staff. What more could you ask for! A must visit if passing through Rathmullan.

27/10/2025: Gorgeous bakery, we got coffees and bakes as take away. I had a cheese and ham croissant and my husband had a Bakewell and fruit tart. Beautiful bakes! We were in a rush but if we had time we would have sat i, the dining room was really lovely with nice seating and a nautical theme.

10/11/2025: A lovely traditional setting in a lovely town. The food was delicious with a great variety. Can't wait for a return visit.

27/10/2025: Grand spot. Restraunt by day and pub by night. Good service and great food in a relaxing setting. Booking needed when it's busy

03/11/2025: Always a super meal and pint here - crab toes are a must!

30/10/2025: We stayed two nights at Seaview Tavern during our Malin Head trip, and it was just perfect! The room was clean, cozy, and had a lovely sea view. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious, and the bar downstairs had a great local vibe, we really enjoyed our pints there each evening. The staff were so friendly and attentive, and Mike, the owner, is simply amazing - always around for a chat and full of great local tips. A true Donegal gem with genuine Irish hospitality. Highly recommended whether you are visiting Malin Head or exploring the Wild Atlantic Way. We will definitely be back!

12/10/2025: We came upon this place from a recommendation from someone we met on the street. This place is a gem just off the beaten path of main street. We came in close to closing time, but we were accepted as if they just opened up. Quite the change from other places. The food was great and the service was nothing short of outstanding. We had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with Jo the owner, and I must say, you will not find a more caring soul. She has passion for what she does, but more than that, she is a great person with an infectious smile. If you are cranky, don't bother coming, as Jo only accepts good people with a positive disposition. I would highly recommend Quay West, and we will definitely be back. If in Donegal, ask for a good seat from Jo!

12/10/2025: The service was amazing and the owner Joe(f) was beyond welcoming. We had been walking the square for 40 min trying find a place that didnt require a reservation. She took one look at us, smiled and said," I know ypur good people" and let us in 1. The food was amazing. My wife and brother had haddock and the hake fish dishes. I had the chicken chorizo rigatonni and all the dishes were super fresh and delicious. 2. Service was impeccable and gracious. Joe herself came by with a kind word and a smile 3. The atmosphere was pleasant and warming. Cozy without bumping elbows or overhearing others conversations. After the meal we talked with the owner for 5 min. Just the nicest woman you could ever hope to meet. Will always go back when in town!!!

31/10/2025: Delicious food! We highly recommend this diner. The prices are reasonable and the portions were generous. The service was also excellent. We'll definitely be back when we're in the area again. 😀

23/09/2025: One of the best "typical Irish breakfasts" in Ireland 🇮🇪 On our trip through Ireland, we happened to pass through Dunfanaghy. After a short walk, we were in the mood for something hearty. Suddenly, we found ourselves in front of Lizzie's Diner and decided to have a bite to eat there. It was the best decision of the day! 😉

09/09/2025: Great service, nice wee clean cafe, super food and refill coffee at good prices what's not to like . Will deffo be back.

31/08/2025: Cute little coffee shop just a short distance off the Wild Atlantic Way. Worth making a detour. Close to the beach too

16/09/2025: Really like this cafe, I always pay a visit when I'm in the area. Full Irsh is a must really tasty. Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent value for the quality of food. 100% recommended.

30/08/2025: Lovely staff and amazing food with good sized portions

17/10/2025: Huge Clannad fans, we had to see this tavern. Loved it, met nice people, drank a few Guinness and enjoyed it all.

03/10/2025: I only had a few of the best pints of Guinness and it was great.

30/08/2025: Incredible meal from start to finish. Our waiter Seamus was a remarkable host and did not disappoint with his recommendations. The duck liver parfait was decadent and the fish rillette was refreshing. The pigeon breast was tender and the beef cheek was so rich in flavour. When it came to dessert, we had trouble choosing what to try but through Seamus’s recommendation, we had gone with the vanilla ice cream with brownie chunks and salted caramel along with the burnt basque cheesecake and were delighted by both.

15/08/2025: Had a really great dinner at the bar. Food was superb.

28/10/2025: We enjoyed the Spice Bag, Chicken Carbonara, Kids Roast Beef and all 3 were delightful! The food was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was nice and friendly with an old fashioned charm. The bathrooms were fancy - so say the kids.

26/09/2025: Turkey ham and stuffing was awesome!
