The best restaurantsof irish in Donegal

20/03/2025: Lovely bar and great food. We even got a quick game of darts on the Friday night. Best chowder in Donegal. Great chips. We didnt taste the Sunday lunch but omg we wished we had they looked delicious. Ps great Guiness.

09/12/2024: Very friendly and efficient staff, fabulous food with amazing views of Inch Island, delicious pub grub and the Guinness was amazing. Can't wait to return to the Beachcomber bar

02/11/2024: We really liked all the dishes we ordered at this seaside restaurant. Great service and atmosphere. Beautiful views. Full grazing 10/10.

19/09/2024: Lovely pub, stunning views. Incredibly friendly people. Would 100% recommend spending some evenings here!

01/03/2025: Really enjoyed our meal here! Pros: • Beautiful view from the restaurant, and the open fire near the bar adds a great touch. • The food was nice! However, it could have used a bit more seasoning—everything tasted like it was missing salt. Cons: • The bar manager had an attitude problem—he was incredibly unwelcoming and made us feel like we were inconveniencing him just by being there. Would definitely return for the atmosphere and food, but hopefully, the service improves!

03/02/2025: When you enter the bar area with the open fire going we immediately felt relaxed and the warm welcome from staff added to this. Decor is subtle and adds to the ambience of this fabulous bar/restaurant. Toilets are again very tastefully decorated and are spotless. We were given a table for two with a sea view, stunning to say the least!!!. I asked for salmon but with the side dressings from another main dish. My partner had rib eye. Both dishes were fantastic, we finished with apple and rhubarb crumple to share, we paired our food with a wonderful shiraz. The whole experience was superb and we will certainly visit again. Service, staff, food, wine and premises all excellent, well done and thank you.

21/02/2025: We stopped in here for a spot of dinner and really enjoyed the very traditional atmosphere. The bar man and server were lovely, friendly and so helpful. We enjoyed it so much that we went back the second night for dinner as well. The food was lovely, freshly cooked and the dessert were sweet and tasty. There was a lovely log fire burning in the background and we’re definitely recommend here for dinner.

16/02/2025: Pretty close to Letterkenny town. People are nice and friendly. Food is awesome. The meat is so fresh.

19/02/2025: Sad, sad news of hotel closure. First stayed at Mc Grory's as a 9 year old child, while holidaying with my parents and family. Nostalgic return trip Valentine's weekend 2025, as a 72 year old. The picnic tables outside are new but the traditional long benches are a feature I vividly remember from the early 60s. Culdaff beach is still stunning and unspoilt. We were first guests to check in to the hotel at 12.30 pm on Friday 14 February as the hotel re-opened after renovations. The welcome by the staff was warm and special with a glass of 'bubbles' to add to the experience. The valentine meal offer that evening was exceptional value and the food was very tasty. The rooms have been refreshed. The hotel is a very welcoming place where new friends are frequently and easily made. The hotel was busy with everyone in good form. There was no sense of the impending closure. Sad to reflect that we were probably the last guests to check out on Sunday 16th. The Mc Grory's name is synonymous with Culdaff. Hope it remains. Best wishes to the staff. Paul Devlin

10/02/2025: Travelling through Glenties, Co. Donegal, my wife, myself and Ruby, our Cockapoo dog stopped at The Thatch where we enquired about Sunday Lunch. As we are only too well aware ‘Dog Friendly’ premises are few and far between in many parts of Donegal. No problem to the Thatch, they were more than kind welcoming to us all. We had an excellent Lunch, I had the Special, Lamb Tikka Masala, Rice and Chips, with a Nann Bread, which was specially made with No Garlic, my wife had Asian Salmon, with Asian Salad and Fries - The food was all of Hotel Standard, better than many of the Hotels we have eaten in. Roisin, who was in charge and Nadeen who served us were most attentive, they could not have been nicer. In addition we had wanted to watch the Ireland v Scotland Rugby Match, again no problem. Before finishing my wife went for the Berry Crumble which was delicious ! We will not drive past The Thatch again - the place is well worth visiting, loved it ! To the owners, your Staff are well worth holding onto, they are a worthy addition to your business, oh and hold on to the Chef 👍

We headed onto the theatre for a show but could have stayed all evening!
