The best restaurantsof irish in Donegal

10/08/2026: Old world lounge with modern menu and great service. Lovely pint of Guinness. Easy parking.

16/05/2026: Fantastic food. Huge portions. Lovely afternoon celebrating my dads 80th birthday.

12/06/2026: We enjoyed two nights at this wonderful hotel. The staff is friendly and capable, the food is very good and the room comfortable.

03/06/2026: Lovely hotel, really friendly staff willing to help you. Special thanks to Paula in the Coach dining area, wonderful helpful lady.

20/07/2026: Great experience here in a beautiful location

01/07/2026: Came for a visit last weekend for the first time since the 80s, I think, and the welcome here hasn't changed. Brilliant to see a family business thriving. Great atmosphere and the menu looks amazing, which I really wish we'd tried. I definitely won't wait another 40 years to call in again.

22/04/2026: Great local food, good service.

25/11/2025: Ate dinner here while we were staying at the hotel and we had a fab meal. All of the food was tasty and we would recommend the Prawn and Salmon Starter, Sausages and Mash and Seafood Linguini. Also it was great to try a few cocktails from the menu which was quite extensive and reasonably priced drinks. It was a family member's birthday the night we ate here and the team all got involved in bringing out the cake and singing happy birthday which was a lovely touch and really appreciated.

27/07/2026: Not a great experience for us. We stopped for a quick sandwich and it took forever to be served and we were the only people in the cafe. The decor was very quirky and interesting but on a closer look it was grubby. After we left my husband told me the owner was eating whilst she was preparing our food. If I'd known I would have left straight away. Not a place I would recommend.

22/07/2026: A great find, just had lunch, homemade food, lovely staff and great vibe. Will definitely be back, we'll worth a visit

07/07/2026: Staff could use more initiative i.e. If a guest has a query regarding spa they could ring them rather than suggesting the guest trek all the way down to ask their question. Room could have been cleaner. View amazing. Spa amazing.

15/05/2026: Would highly recommend lovely staff and lovely food. Has a lovely view of the sea from the restaurant and well worth the extra money for the room with the view

09/05/2026: Fantastic breakfast, great size and friendly staff

10/02/2026: From start to finish top class service was great anything you wanted was.not a problem food was beautiful and very well priced

08/08/2025: While on our honeymoon in Ireland, Ireland by Bike suggested we dine at Yellow Pepper. So glad we did, the atmosphere is so cozy, the food was amazing. We had the opportunity to meet the owner Kieran who is a gem! Chris and Kerrilee

05/08/2025: Visited Letteykenny in Ireland for a short break, had seen reviews. Definitely have to book so popular. Lovely options to choose from. Decided to go straight to the main, I had the lamb shank special of the day, The lamb just fell off the bone, buttery mash with good selection of vegetables, some as purée,and a tasteful jus to bring it all together. My husband had the cod with fish pie, a beautiful chunky piece, definitely a hot pie with creamy mash. Both our plates were completely cleaned. I had the meringue with fresh fruit and compote, meringue crispy and chewy just the way it should be. A lovely atmosphere in the restaurant. Staff were very attentive and polite. Very good value as well. Would definitely recommend The Yellow.Pepper

12/06/2026: The food in the forge bar was delicious and our waitress Abigail was so friendly and welcoming :)

12/06/2026: The food in the Forge Bar was gorgeous and Abigail was so lovely :)

31/07/2026: Very traditional pub from 1917- friendly barman. Had soup when food opened at 3pm. Very tasty vegetable broth for 7 euro but it only came with half a slice of wheaten. It’s only a small point but takes away from the beautiful soup. Full slice and you’d feel less hard done by

04/07/2026: Very reasonable prices and massive portions, food was delicious.

06/06/2026: They had many gluten free options. I ordered shepherds pie and my boyfriend had the seafood pie. We both preferred his seafood pie. Both were gluten free which was great. On arrival we waited to be seated but when no-one came we took a seat and grabbed the menus ourselves. Over all it’s great for lunch and not too busy.

13/04/2026: Very lovely little cafe. Good coffee! Quick service.

14/05/2026: Lovely hotel on the coast in a beautiful town. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Food is great, service excellent 👌

07/04/2026: Great stay overall! The hotel and room were clean and comfortable, and the location is excellent. The front desk staff were very helpful and welcoming, and the breakfast was really good with plenty of options. The only downside was the evening restaurant service, which could definitely be improved.

09/05/2026: Lovely location and surroundings. Very friendly staff. The venue now seems to focus on the wedding market.

03/05/2026: Myself and my Husband got married at the Red Door on the 9th of April. We booked the venue from the morning to get ready and truly from start to finish our wedding day was made amazing by all the staff at The Red Door. The location is amazing and provides so many photo opportunities throughout the day. We had our ceremony In the Red door and it was so beautifully set up without needing any extra suppliers. One thing we thought was such a special touch was after our ceremony, Frances and Lauren met us both with a bottle of champagne to celebrate. All of our guests commented on the relaxed atmosphere, the food and the lovely welcoming, kind staff. The food at the drinks reception was outstanding. It continued to flow and guests were never left hungry. All of our guests said the dinner was the best dinner they have had at a wedding and that speaks for itself. The whole process from booking, planning and during the wedding was made feel seamless. We truly had the best day of our lives and that was all made possible by chosing the red door as our wedding venue. We highly recommend this venue to all wanting a small Irish wedding with a cosy, relaxed feel to it. Thank you all again so much 🥰

08/07/2026: Was in day before ordered bigger breakfast today got the smaller breakfast and my son had same thing as yesterday, but it ended up costing more doesnt make sense pointed it out to the man who was charging us at the till and he said doesnt really matter, but it does matter. He even smirked about it, wont be back. The girls are lovely though.

29/06/2026: Absolutely disgusting behavior from the manager of mr chippie. My family and I were having food on tuesday evening with my 2 year old child who happened to be crying as we were leaving when the manager had walked in and told us “sort her out” while pointing at my 2 year old child and walked on. My child is being assessed for autism and and has behavioral issues hearing this as an already struggling mother i ended up crying my eyes out, when i brung this up to management they replied with ‘?’. This is clearly an ongoing issue as its not the first ive heard of this specific manager leaving people in tears and now picking on a 2year old child? disgusting behavior management should be ashamed of how they treat their customers.

30/03/2026: Every thing was perfect lovely staff great food . Lovely beach and water close by .playground for children . family rooms also

21/03/2026: Fantastic hotel we eat there every time we are in Buncrana.
