    Melly's Café was recommended to us by a local when we asked for a good fish and chips place. We…read morestopped in after a long day of hiking and looked forward to eating. Expect plentiful seating and table service. Most of our party of six ordered fish and chips. Two others ordered burgers and chips. Everything arrived hot and fresh. The fish looked huge and the chips were abundant. Unfortunately, as the hungry souls started to down their portions, they noticed that the batter didn't seem to be thoroughly cooked, or the fish contributed to the soft coating. The chips, however, were perfect! I chose the 6 oz burger with slaw and iceberg lettuce and no pink sauce (ketchup and mayo combined) and curry chips. The curry sauce brought a nice heat. The burger was pretty plain, even with the slaw and toasted sesame bun. I dressed it up with ketchup. They didn't have any mustard. Our server was friendly and helpful at the beginning, but she never stopped by again. Someone else delivered the meals and we didn't see her again. Maybe this is how service works in Ireland? Disappointing. But, maybe we caught them at a bad time and our party of six was too difficult to manage. We will never know.

    A quaint looking place along the harbor. Our tour group stopped in for lunch (we're glad to give a…read morelocal place some business). Just a small- looking plave. I had a hankering for some chowder or some fish n chips. We saw a plate of fish and chips being brought to the table behind us and boy, was it big. About 12 euros and we decided to split it (even that was probably enough for 3 people). Friendly staff and great food

    Hyped up and so overrated! Very disappointed and would never go back. We got the cod & fish,…read moreseafood box and garlic mushrooms. Opened the box with the mushrooms to find then literally laying in a layer of grease. I used 2 napkins to soak up the grease. The mushroom themselves were a dark brown, almost burnt to a crisp, and when you bite into them your mouth was soaked in grease :((. The seafood box: calamari was the opposite of the 'dead' mushrooms and pale as a ghost. Cod super greasy batter and not eatable like the mushrooms although the cod inside was flaky and good. Haddock was the best thing in the box both in flavour and batter, which was different to the cod. Fish and chips: batter same as above, very greasy but cod inside was good. The chips were totally bland.

    This was one of my favorite meals we had in Ireland. We were only in Killybegs for one night and…read morenone of other restaurants looked very good. The guy at the visitor's center told us about this place so we decided to give it a try. She is known for having the best seafood chowder in County Donegal (she won a competition). We tried to get it, but unfortunately, she was leaving for vacation the next day and had run out so we didn't get to try it. We all got the seafood box so we could try a little bit of everything. It came with calamari, scampi, haddock, cod, and chips. The calamari was the best I've had. The scampi was also delicious. The regular fish which I believe was haddock was very good. The fish sticks which I think were the cod were just ok. The chips were pretty good. You can also choose your sauce so I got the tartar and the pink sauce. I would probably do the scampi and calamari (half and half) next time. Everything is made fresh, so after you order you wait about 10 minutes for your food. It's cash only and there is an ATM across the street. There is no seating so we ate at the picnic table outside the visitor's center. We had fish and chips several times on our trip and this was definitely the best we had. If you are in the area, this is definitely a must try!
