Our Dinner at the Catalina Restaurant was absolute perfection and flawless in every way and we are…read moreso glad we dined here. What a treat! The flavors of each dish were delightfully balanced, and we enjoyed a relaxing meal. What a delight it was to dine at the restaurant headed by Noel McMeel, one of Ireland's top chefs, who is also the Executive Chef at the Lough Erne Hotel and Resort in Northern Ireland where the Catalina Restaurant is located. We actually added this Northern Ireland journey to our itinerary just to meet the Chef and taste some of his creations, so this was a much anticipated dining experience. I almost did not make it downstairs to the restaurant for our late evening reservation. We had a long day of sightseeing and I was a bit car sick from my husbands race car driving through the windy roads of the day tours. I am so glad I pulled myself together and down to dinner because it was our most enjoyable meal during our entire trip to Ireland and after tasting the first course I quickly settled in with an appetite for more. We ordered off of the prix fixe menu, so we could enjoy 2-3 courses. Since I wasn't in the mood for anything too heavy or meat forward I ordered off of the Vegetarian Menu which proved to be an excellent choice. We started with the softest and tastiest Irish soda bread you could ever imagine putting into your mouth, what a pleasant surprise. This is what I was hoping to taste from Chef McMeel, some of those pantry staples from recipes in his book, many recipes handed down from generations in his family...I have to bake using this recipe some day. The bread was not like the dense Irish Soda bread you find in the States, it was a heavier weighted than a typical slice of white bread, but slightly sweet, an ever so soft light and airy bread. We were also offered treacle bread, also slightly sweeter than the Irish soda bread and delightfully soft. Curry bread which was my least favorite of the three, the curry flavor was unusual and not sure I loved it. The bread paired well with local butter, rapseed oil, and course salt, this was a lovely way to wake up our palate. For our starting course we ordered: Mushroom Ravioli: 5 stars does not do this justice. The ravioli which had a delicate pasta wrapped around perfectly cooked and seasoned mushrooms was enveloped in a reduction that had such incredible depth of flavor...we found out later from the Chef that the mushroom reduction takes 6.5 hours to prepare! Crab and fennel Salad 4.5 stars my husband enjoyed this but secretly I think he enjoyed the bite of my ravioli more Our dinner courses were also lovely, my husband loved his filet of beef 5 stars My husband thoroughly enjoyed his filet, the reduction, and vegetables Vegetarian Pithivier 5 stars: the puff pastry dough was light and airy, not heavy or greasy in the least, the vegetables melted in my mouth, this was a pure joy to eat. We ended our meal with a final taste bud surprise: Raspberry Souffle 5 stars I've never had a raspberry souffle, this was dreamy and everything a souffle should be, served with a custard and ice cream, it was the perfect dessert to end our meal. And I almost forgot...out came a final dessert plate of house made chocolates, marshmallows and delicate soft fruit candies :) What a lovely way to spend our final evening at the Lough Erne resort. Thank you Chef McMeel for the culinary inspiration and dedication to deliver warm hospitality and an outstanding dining experience while in Ireland! The love and the passion for what you do is clearly evident and we were so grateful to experience your hospitality while at the Lough Erne.

Worth a detour! The…read moreCottage Restaurant just happened to be near the country house my family rented. Located in quaint little Jamestown, it's set alongside the river, with cows grazing alongside the bank. To call it idyllic doesn't quite capture -- it's ridiculously charming. I emailed to secure a booking a few weeks before as we had 6 adults and a child for a Friday evening -- they replied quickly and we were all set. We showed at our appointed time and were shown to a lovely nearly private table in the back room. All very smooth. My husband proclaimed "Best Meal in Ireland." (and he's eaten many after traveling/living there on and off for several years). And I must concur. A standout -- the Kids Menu! None of this garbage food to be found (chicken nuggets, etc). My son ate beef noodles fit for a king for about 6 euro. Unreal, it was so good my brother and husband were both sneaking bites of it. If you have kids, they shall not be disappointed here and you will not feel guilty giving them yet another plate of chips and grease! The Adult food was also exceptional! The duck was glorious! The steak a vision! There was not a miss in the bunch, and the complimentary starter and fresh made in-house bread basket was divine. A Malaysian Chef doing things up right over here in small town Ireland. A treat to be sure. If you are anywhere near -- make this a destination for your next dinner. One funny thing (which is totally fine) -- it may be the only eating/drinking establishment that does NOT serve Guinness. Totally ok for me, and it forced my dad to try some local brew, but worth nothing if you have any grumpy Guinness folks in the group! This ENTIRE amazing meal was 250 euros. This included wine, drinks, beers, multiple courses and a very happy kid eating beef noodles. A true value to be sure, everyone remarked that they thought it should cost far more -- so this really is a testament to great food at a great price.

Wide array of interesting items like Venison Pie you will see on the menu here. I did choose the Venison Pie, and it was sweet and tasty. The seafood soup was very good as well and was decorated with a puffy fish and I want to say a mint of some sort put in place of where an eyeball would go, very cute indeed! I remember loving the large oysters and great local beer on tap. Highly recommend if you are in the Donegal area. The Donegal Castle is not far from here as well if you want to make a day out of it.

Definitely the best pub in town!…read more Creightons is a family run bar with some of the nicest, friendliest staff you could encounter. They are all very knowledgeable about the area and have some amazing stories to tell! The walls of the pub itself also tell a story, with lots of personal photos and trinkets collected over the years by the family. They also serve the best pint of Guinness in the land! It's a great spot to come with a big group of friends, there's loads of space and also a room with a pool table! The pub itself doesn't serve food, but they very kindly allow you to bring food in from the neighbouring takeaway while you enjoy your drinks which is brilliant! Always make sure to drop by when I'm in the area, it's well worth it!

"Iced Coffee" means either an iced Americano or an Iced Latte. I chose the former. Before anyone took my order, I waited approximately five or six minutes. Since I was in no rush, I didn't mind. What impressed me was the number of servers who asked me if I was alright. The entry area bustled with the back and forth of servers providing water to the patrons. The dessert case looked tantalizing! I also noticed that all coffee drinks contain two shots! I was guaranteed a nice Americano. My time to order arrived, and not long after, I walked out with my very satisfying iced drink. Another note: The quaint restaurant was beautifully decorated with lights in arches which affords a charming atmosphere.
