Lemon Tree
Letterkenny
07/08/2026: This is an excellent restaurant. Despite a rather unpreposessing location (looks like it's next to a car park in a shopping centre), the food is of the highest quality, and the service very attentive. The amuses bouches are well executed, and the wine list well thought out (two New Zealand Sauvignons!). We had the scallops and the crab tartlet starters (both very good), and the monkfish & pork belly and hake mains. The monkfish was lovely, the pork belly a bit underwhelming (a la pulled pork) but the hake (not an easy fish to get right) was absolutely perfect.
Dessert (salted caramel tart, but more like a pave) was also sublime.
Way above expectations.

Kelly's Diner
Letterkenny
25/07/2026: Food was good, the part of our order that was correct! The toast was brought out looking like it was either cut by a blind person or oreo the robot. No one came to follow up to make sure we got everything we ordered our if we needed anything else, or our drink refilled.
The bathroom sinks are pretty cool and oreo the robot server.
When one of the male servers was clearing a table next to us, he turned to ask if everything was OK? I answered no, and he turned around and continued clearing the table.
The manager did finally come to apologize after being asked for him.
09/07/2026: It is a very nice restaurant, it is very clean and the vintage car theme is very nice. We ordered 3 fish and chips, then the robot came up to us, which is very high tech. The fish and chips were very good and it didn't take long for the robot to come. We would recommend this to anyone in the Donegal area, it is really worth the visit, we would definitely come back.

Wood Berry Grill Bar & Restaurant
Letterkenny
15/06/2026: We've always gone here. It's always been on the dear side but the portions and food has always been worth it. I don't mind paying if the food is good and I leave feeling full.
Now it's not worth it. The food is great still but they have them plates with the big wide rim and the wee bowl part in the middle. So basically you're leaving hungry. The portions have got smaller and the prices haven't.
27/04/2026: Place Well Lit Now And More Spaces For Customers New Set Up Looks Good

Warehouse Bar + Kitchen
Letterkenny
01/07/2026: Vegan, vegetarian & plant-based travelers: just call ahead, and the kitchen will make sure to have a full menu of vegan starters and mains for you to choose from. Make sure to mention how many members of group are vegan, so that they can plan accordingly.
We were very impressed with the service, and with the quality of the vegan options. We will definitely be returning soon!
24/06/2026: Recommended this venue for lunch or evening. Good food, great service. Will go back again.

McGettigan's
Letterkenny
31/05/2026: The food was ok, nothing to complain about on that front, but the service completely overshadowed any positives this restaurant might have had.
From the moment we sat down, the waiter seemed to be anywhere but at our table. He rushed off repeatedly, forgot basic requests, and had to be chased down each time we needed something. It felt less like dining out and more like an inconvenience to the staff.
The worst part came at the end. I stood waiting to pay for what felt like an eternity, in a near-empty restaurant, being completely ignored, not just by the waiter, but by all the staff present. There was no acknowledgement, no "be with you in a moment," nothing. It was dismissive and frankly disrespectful.
When a restaurant is quiet and customers are still being treated this way, it speaks to an attitude problem, not a busy-night excuse. The food isn't bad, but I won't be returning until the front-of-house team learns the basics of hospitality. A shame, because it could be so much better.
19/04/2026: Lovely place for food. Good menu. I travel with a very fussy ex-chef but even he is impressed! Never had a bad meal there. Love the atmosphere and ambience too.

Mr Chippie
Letterkenny
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 βsort her outβ 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 β?β. 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.
