The best restaurantsof irish in Rathmullen

03/09/2025: A little gem, the on site bakery is excellent and complimented by friendly staff who make you feel welcome no matter if it’s tea and a scone or a full meal. We always pay a visit when in Rathmullan.

19/08/2025: We had a family brunch here in early August. Good weather had brought crowds to Rathmullan and everywhere was busy, including Belle’s. We deliberated whether we could wait for a table with an active toddler in tow. We are so glad we did! Food, service and cleanliness were excellent. French toast, waffles, fry and the specials were all outstanding and tremendous value. The selection of baked goods on show at the takeaway counter was impressive, and popular! They’d sold out of scones by the time we ordered so we’ll have to return for an earlier breakfast to sample those. The sourdough which we had in the cafe and the one we took home, were exceptional. The staff, despite being very busy, couldn’t have been more helpful, bringing special plates for the 2 kids with their favourite cartoon characters on them. And, despite the pressures of tending to many customers, service was very prompt and efficient. Definitely worth a visit!

04/09/2025: Absolute gem of a pub. As a family we've been coming to Rathmullan for the best part of 25 years and it's easily a highlight of our trip. The guinness, the food, the service and the views are top notch. Couldn't ask for more

01/09/2025: Lovely, rustic pub with a great large heated pavilion for live music and a small beer garden, all with a sea view.

10/07/2025: We stopped at this lovely spot on our little road trip around the Atlantic way, it was a brilliant find. It looked so interesting from outside. The purple building with the craft stall, and sign with frieda kahla. We had two dogs with us and we were allowed to sit outside with them. We were welcomed by the lovely owner, who promptly told us there were fresh scones out of the oven and she had made apple and plum cake fresh that day. We were surprised the menu was vegetarian, but it was not a problem. The food was absolutely delicious!! I got the cheese and onion panini and it had mustard and relish and was so delicious. The cake was phenomenal! I also had a mocha. And it was the best I’d had this whole week! The stall out the front sells the owners crafts, there is lovely adult and children’s clothes. I got a dress for my niece and an apron for myself. I can’t wait to go back on our yearly visit to Downings!

05/07/2025: Lovely place for a break, all home cooked, fresh food, great selection of food and a very helpful and friendly service.
