Lemon Tree

30/11/2025: The restaurant was absolutely gorgeous — elegant, warm, and perfectly inviting.
The food was outstanding from start to finish. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor, clearly made with fresh ingredients and real care.
Customer service was just as impressive. The team was friendly, attentive, and professional throughout our visit. A special mention has to go to Richard, whose warmth and enthusiasm made our experience even more memorable. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Obrigada, Ricardo!
Overall, it was a flawless dining experience — exceptional food, wonderful service, and a stunning atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a special night out.
15/11/2025: Fabulous food from a local favorite. Lovely interior yet comfortable. Family run and friendly. The lamb and beef were beautifully spiced with great vegetables. Charming potato sides. Vegetable soup was delicate and rich. Priced well for the quality of food and experience. Looks so normal from the outside! Parking is in an old structure across the street.

Nancy's
Ardara
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 ♥️

Ubiquitous
Buncrana
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.

Belles kitchen
Rathmullen
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.

Seaview Tavern
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!

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! 😉

The Bridge Bar
Ramelton
10/11/2025: Great experience, the food was delicious and our waitress Bláithín was lovely. Absolutely would come again, definitely worth a visit if you’re in Donegal
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.
