18/05/2025: Just had the most amazing Sunday roast, tender succulent meat, vegetables cooked to perfection, friendly staff very attentive but not too much all for under 40 euro. We'll be back, would love to stay overnight.

The Lagoon Restaurant & Guesthouse
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.

Orchard Inn
Letterkenny
28/04/2025: I was at my friends leaving party and the food was delicious! The presentation of the food was also beautiful. The menu had a wide variety of dishes.
15/04/2025: Went back recently for their steak night. I'd the ribeye, friend had the steak sandwich. Both were very well presented. Unfortunately my steak was over cooked nearly welldone when ordered medium rare, friend steak sandwich was actually cooked brilliantly, seems to be very hard to get a, steak cooked to requested temperature so a bit strange that there was such a difference.
The Peper sauce was amazing.
Atmosphere was very dead, it was early on in the evening but still felt very sterile and still.
I'll be back to give it another shot anyway

Nirvana
Ballyshannon
26/03/2025: I want to get to know that area for its gastronomy, culture and people
23/11/2024: The reason it got 4 stars is the premise was cold on arrival at 6pm ( it doesn’t open at 17:30 as stated on trip adviser )
I had the Chicken supreme and better half had the fish and chips. Have to say very tasty.
We were served by Anastasia who was very polite, moving us to a warmer position etc.
I recommend Nivana, but leave to a bit later if weather is cold

The Boathouse
05/05/2025: Came with my fiancée. Despite We were ignored for the first five minutes after entering the restaurant. The food is where I’m really confused. I had the mussels to start — they came in a lovely pot designed to keep the heat in, but the mussels were cold. Some had broken shells and hadn’t been cleaned properly. I had to stop eating them because they were cold and barely coated in a thin layer of sauce. Nobody came back to check on us during the starter.
I ordered the fillet steak with crispy red onion rings. The steak was perfectly cooked and fell apart — really well done. The onion rings were so nice I ordered more, but when the second batch came out, they were cold, dry, and clearly not fresh.
When we went to pay the bill, we weren’t even asked if we enjoyed our meal. The mussels were still on the bill, even though we told the waiter they tasted off. We felt very unwelcome the entire time, likely because we weren’t locals. I’d avoid this place if you want cold food and warm drinks.
27/04/2025: We had such a wonderful dinner here last Wednesday celebrating my daughterJennifer and Jorges wedding. This was the first celebration of their wedding and Fergal and everyone at the Boathouse made it so special where we gathered for dinner with Jorges family from La Nucia, Spain. Perfect venue with great food, beautiful location and relaxed atmosphere. Special thanks to Patrick too.

Chapter Twenty
Donegal
06/05/2025: I had a wonderful lunch today at Chapter Twenty at the Mill Park Hotel. I started with a pint of Guinness, the lunch special was roasted leg of lamb with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. Absolutely delicious!! I normally don’t get dessert, but I was tempted by the Baileys cheesecake. It was served with the dip of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and strawberries. It was wonderful! I ended the meal with a Baileys coffee which was made perfectly. The food was fantastic, the service was impeccable! I definitely recommend this restaurant with five stars!
13/04/2025: Underwhelming. Server Graeme was especially unfriendly, no eye contact.. no chat, very direct. Seemed to be tension between staff, as no staff engaged with us at all apart from the female maître d. Would expect more for the cost of food & drinks. Low music also. Drinks more expensive than temple bar, although I was impressed they offered gluten free pasta. Unfortunately it was quite dry, not creamy at all & the huge portion was wasteful. Won’t be returning, although visually the venue is fantastic

Highlands Hotel
Glenties
02/05/2025: Modernised yet still traditional hotel right in the village/town centre of Glenties, well priced and with good on site food/bar facilities.
04/04/2025: Stoped on route from letterkenny to killybegs on a Thursday evening at 6.00pm. Couldn’t get over how busy the hotel was.
I had a fab chicken Maryland , a dish that is making a welcome come back. That come back is now, this hotel does it with perfection. My partner opted for the vegan burger and to be honest there are better ones out there but they have assured us they plan to make their own as from next week. We will be back to check.
Great clean hotel , staff were tuned in and switched on. Definitely worth a visit.
