Other restaurants in County Donegal

  1. Olde Glen Bar & Restaurant

    Authentic down to its original 1700s uneven stone floor, this treasure of a traditional pub in the tiny hamlet of Glen serves a sensational pint. Out the back, its small farmhouse-style restaurant serves outstanding blackboard specials. It doesn’t take reservations and is popular with locals – turn up by 5.30pm to get a table for the 6pm seating, or by 6.30pm for a table at the 7.30pm seating. By the time you leave, you’ll feel like a local yourself.

  2. Beach House

    With plate-glass windows facing the lough, this aptly named cafe/restaurant projects an elegant simplicity. Although the menu is also intrinsically simple, the quality and preparation are a cut above: ‘surf and turf’, for example, comes with fillet steak, crab claws, langoustines and creamy bisque.

  3. Simple Simon’s

    Attached to a health food shop, this bohemian cafe serves up such delicious organic soups, wraps, paninis, salads and home-baked treats (plus enormous mugs of hot chocolate) that we’ll pretend we didn’t notice the Dan Quayle spelling of ‘potatoe’ on the specials board.

  7. Fitzgerald’s Bistro

    Opening onto a garden out the back of Fitzgerald’s Hotel, this plush bistro looks a little like a hunting lodge. Although seafood is the specialty, the kitchen is equally adept with meat and veg.
