The best restaurantsof irish in Donegal

11/07/2026: The food was ok and the staff were nice and friendly.

21/06/2026: Excellent fish of the day (haddock) and chips with tea. Good for ceoliacs too as gluten free version excellent too. Great service

06/08/2026: We were completely satisfied! The burgers were truly delicious and prepared with great care. You can tell that they place a high value on quality and taste. We also really enjoyed the atmosphere. The staff was very friendly as well. Overall, a fantastic visit with excellent food; we would definitely recommend this restaurant.

04/08/2026: My wife and I normally eat here when we visit. We used to love it but no longer. My wife asked for vegetables as there were none with her meal and was given really paltry portion of carrot and broccoli. I ordered the burger and chips. The burger was made commercially by a butcher and was very ordinary. The chips were frozen and pretty tasteless. In terms of quality, the place has gone downhill and the prices have gone up. They didn’t even have Orchard Thieves cider!

20/07/2026: Amazing staff, service and food! Highly recommended plus it’s dog friendly

19/07/2026: Best food in Donegal. Lovely staff, great with groups of mixed ages - from 94 - 9 months. Don’t miss a trip to try

03/02/2026: Ah lads… Hold up there. I know that we are blessed to live in a country where fresh produce is abundant, and good chefs are numerous… BUT… when you’re lucky enough to eat somewhere that has both of these things, the result is the culinary holy grail. Quay West in Donegal Town is most definitely one of these places… A beautifully diverse menu that showcases the best of Irish beef (Brazilian, Brashmillion…) delicate Italian pasta dishes, and even ventures into a wonderfully fragrant Indonesian curry. Being as close as they are to Killybegs, I couldn’t pass the freshness of the Kinnegar battered Haddock, with fresh tartar sauce and pea purée… Christ. That’s all. The fish must have hopped out of the water of his own accord, and got a taxi from the pier in Killybegs straight in to the Quay West kitchen, and begged to be battered… and being in Donegal, what better battering than a Kinnegar batter?!?! It was utter perfection, complimented by a perfectly tart tartar, and smooth pea which was definitely in several of the 40 shades of green. Also at our table were dishes of Chicken Parmigiana, curry, and the most incredible zesty crab and courgette linguine… I’m not sure what magic was worked to make this sooooo light, but Angels definitely wept. The delicate lightness of the lobster cream was unreal… if this was the base for a chowder or bisque, it would be unbeatable. If you happen to be lucky enough to be in Donegal at dinner time, do NOT pass this place by. The staff are friendly without being too overly attentive, and the view is nearly as perfect as the food. THIS Quay West, is much better than the other Key West, and doesn’t take as long to get to. 13/10 for fresh fishiness. Will dine again. Nomnomnom…

02/02/2026: Really great restaurant in Donegal Town. We were looked after from the moment we walked in the door and right throughout the evening. The menu was wide and varied with plenty of choice for everyone. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and despite being busy, everything was under control and there was no long wait for our food. Hadn't eaten there before but will definitely be back. Really nice atmosphere. Thanks to Jo and team for a lovely evening.

05/08/2026: What an exceptionally cozy and atmospheric little restaurant we discovered during our 14-day stay in Ramelton. I had already marked it with a star on my Google Maps, and it turns out that this little gem more than deserves its stars! The reservation didn't go very smoothly as we had very poor Wi-Fi, but we eventually managed to secure a table for four that same day by calling them. The welcome was warm, and the atmosphere pleasant and cozy. Everything on the menu looked delicious, partly due to the professional explanations from the jovial waiter who pampered us all evening. An excellent wine list also contributed to a very successful culinary evening! In short, a total experience! It is a shame to hear that this restaurant is closing its doors in September, so for anyone still wanting to secure a spot: don't hesitate!

26/07/2026: Incredible dining experience, food and service was 5 star from start to finish, I think the vegetarian main was one of the best vegetarian meals I have ever enjoyed, brilliant choice of wines and cocktails 😁

17/04/2026: Orderd cheese burger and chips, there was no onions, no lettuce, no tomato, no sauce, burnt the bun, and charged over 21 euros, quality not worth it. I was in the middle of the room, there was no reception/signal on my phone so couldn't use any of my features.

09/04/2026: Fantastic little cafe. Staff were super friendly. It was a very relaxed atmosphere and beautiful, quirky decor. Cool menu for lunch. Only thing I would say is that the Belgian waffles were shockingly overpriced.

17/07/2026: Absolutely beautiful wee coffee spot that serves the best scones about. Out door seating and few seats inside. Services excellent coffee and pastries and brilliant friendly member of staff

15/07/2026: Food was decent. Grilled cheese and tomato soup we're a good combo and good portions. Cafe seems to be permanently closed and there is no toilets which is strange when it's on such a busy route, and frankly was a pain with young kids. Probably would put me off coming back given you really have to travel to it.

27/06/2026: Food was beautiful, service was first class would definitely recommend

22/06/2026: I went there with friends during our stay in Northern Ireland. It's a family-run establishment, passed down through generations. The atmosphere is friendly, and the food is a cut above your average pub fare. The service is excellent and friendly. It deserves a sixth star! Don't miss this place if you're ever in the area!

09/08/2026: Quality of the food is excellent, mussels for the starter, delicious, and a geneous portion to boot,for my main I had one of the best stakes here, that i had in a long time it was a generous portion and cooked to perfection (medium rare) Kids were very happy with their dinner and deserts, expect it to be busy because the word is out good food and service great good value for you hard earned money.Highly recommended.

08/08/2026: Great little spot... lovely menu with options to suit all of our group. Very good value. Will be back again.

19/07/2026: Beautiful fish and chips had today and the coleslaw on point the vinegar was unreal to had my plate swimming in it lol

02/07/2026: Best fish and chips in Ireland, Beautiful

03/04/2026: Wow! Normally go to Rosato’s when in Moville and menu can be a bit unimaginative. So tried Inish Fusion for the first time… and it was sensational. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and the menu is outstanding… and the food… what can I say? Incredible. We both went for the €25 surf and turf special. Sirloin steaks cooked to perfection with fresh king prawns kissed with the right amount of chilli. Wonderful garlic potatoes, the sweetest cherry tomatoes and Diane sauce to die for. I don’t know why I ever went anywhere else. Amazing

12/07/2026: Always busy in main area. Great selection of beers, Guiness was top quality, and the pizzas are pretty good.

10/07/2026: Decent bar, with character, and efficient service.

17/07/2026: Had a fantastic Sunday lunch at The Boathouse. The staff were friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout. I had the braised beef with all the trimmings and a peppercorn sauce, and it was absolutely delicious—tender, full of flavour, and beautifully cooked. Everything was top quality, and I honestly couldn't fault a thing. Highly recommended!

09/07/2026: Great food, friendly staff. Beautiful location.

17/07/2026: Fantastic place.... Our favourite restaurant in Dunfanaghy. MAKE SURE YOU BOOK IN ADVANCE

15/07/2026: Lizzie not dog friendly but is connected to a great music pub

11/07/2026: Oscars is a charming little cafe in Buncrana. I went for a bowl of vegetable soup and a chips with pepper sauce. My partner went for a fish and chips with garlic potatoes. The portion sizes were great and the food was very nice. Gluten-Free options and staff are knowledgeable about allergens. The staff were very pleasant and smiley and it made us feel at home after a long traveling day. The soup was good and my partner enjoyed her fresh fish very much. The garlic potatoes and pepper sauce was the highlight! We would return again next time we were in town.

11/07/2026: Had Lasagne it was unreal highly recommend trying it 👌
