We enjoyed a nice evening meal in the Creevy Pier Hotel, the food was very good, we had envisioned a nice relaxed meal and that's exactly what we got. The staff were polite and helpful although they were very busy and rushed. More staff would definitely be a plus...

We stopped here en route south to Galway having had a fantastic morning visit to the Giants causeway to mark the start of our holiday. Tired and hungry after our journey this was a perfect pick me up. Tasty food, service great, kids menu - just the ticket.!

The Peak Restaurant

Reviewed By Moppa2015

After reading great reviews on this restaurant we decided to give it a try. The building is situated right by the sea with amazing views from the many windows. The atmosphere is relaxing and romantic and the service is excellent. All of the employees were friendly and attentive. However, the food was a major disappointment. The menu is expensive so one would expect good value for the money. However, even though our food was beautifully presented, it was over cooked and dried out. The steak (requested medium-well) was very well done. The crab claws were so dry they were tasteless. The broccoli was mushy and a dull green. The portions were small. It’s such a shame because this restaurant has gotten everything else right. We ate at several other nearby restaurants for a fraction of the cost and received much larger portions cooked just right. Sadly, despite the breathtaking view and excellent service, we will not be back to the Peak.

Reviewed By yeahyeah2

A restaurant firmly stuck in 1983 and haven't adapted to changes in taste, modern decor, customs and lacking that vibrant, upbeat vibe of todays restaurants. I imagine in the mid eighties, this was THE place to go in Bundoran. You sat, had drinks, then had your starter of prawn cocktail or a fan of melon (which are still on the menu), then had your main of Salmon hollandaise or Pork medallions (which are still on the menu) and perhaps shared crab claws (which are still on the menu)The entire atmosphere is a drab stiff affair, overly formal customary practices such as the waitress leading you into the restaurant and pulling your chair out. Thanks, I can do that myself. Cue napkins inside the wine glasses. I was expecting a moustachioed waiter to come out and say "Would Sir care to see ze wine liiiist?".You're the manager and you're reading this now. You are stuck in time. You haven't travelled outside Bundoran in a long time. And it shows. Your customers aren't getting younger . Being no.1 on Tripadvisor means sweet FA. Especially in Bundoran. Wow, have you guys got work to do. I imagine "change" is a scary word in there.

Shannons Corner Ballyshannon

Was recommended to us by a local during the Rory Gallagher Tribute Festival. It did not disappoint. Full Irish breakfast with toast, wheaten bread and tea/coffee for €10 each.Well worth it. Quick friendly service despite being very busy and the food was of exceptional quality.

All food is prepared using fresh local produce while you wait. Fortunately this is not reflected in the price, which is modest for such filling and substantial portions! Lovely and would highly recommend to families especially as it is easy on the pocket and a delight to dine in!

The Thatch is an authentic tea room, well maintained in a beautiful location. There isn't an extensive menu but they specialise in sandwiches and home baking but what they do they do well. Friendly staff make this a lovely place to stop for refreshments.

Salmon Inn

Took the Mrs and Parents for a meal here over Christmas.After 5 weeks at home and eating out most nights, this was easily one if not the best meal of the trip.Between us all we had,hake,salmon,chowder,goat cheese salad.etc Salmon tasted amazing, very wild tasting.Even the hake was excellent which I’ve never had much luck with in the past, always a bland tasting fish.Looking forward to the summer visit now, so can sit outside n enjoy the surroundings.Pretty good Guinness too.Certain non Irish members of staff could use a little Donegal friendliness

The Gaslight Restaurant and B&B

The Gaslight Inn with fully Licensed Restaurant and B&B sit's on the cliff face overlooking Donegal Bay, The Blue Stack Mountains and the blue flag beach of Rossnowlagh.At The Gaslight we offer superb food and hospitality in true Irish tradition.

Reviewed By Stevomars

Spent a couple days at the gaslight with my family. Anthony and Pauline were friendly and helpful whenever we drummed up some questions.The beds were comfy, the breakfast was more than enough especially if you had the full Irish plate.The location has a wonderful view of Rossnowlagh Beach. There is a short country road away from the beach that is a nice little walk in the countryside.We had a great experience at the Gaslight.
