This was a good life choice. It was homemade Guinness bread, with the best butter I've ever had in my life, and homemade jam. I could have eaten the entire loaf of that concoction. My husband got the lunch special of beef stroganoff, which was an experience all its own. Creamy, deep flavours of beef and mushroom graced our mouths with its glorious wonder. (This was the ultimate star of the show.) I had the Chicken pesto croque, which would have been the subject of my ultimate laudation on its own if the stroganoff hadn't appeared. The staff was very kind, the food delicious, and the experience overall lovely. Highly recommend it!

This really is a bit of a gem of a place so I almost don't want to tell people about it! The facility is lovely and, even though it's an old building, they keep it very fresh and clean looking with updated furnishing and fixtures while still maintaining a very homey feel. I love it when the fires are going and the bar is very cozy and bright. On this occasion, we chose the dining room. When we arrived, we were taken to a table in one of the larger rooms in the back that are more typically used for events. It was a lovely room but I preferred to be somewhere a little closer to the bar and main, older part of the building. The hostess was perfectly accommodating and this was no problem. Instead, my husband and I put in our orders at the bar while we had a drink and when our food was ready, they took us to a different table. The service was completely friendly and efficient. The food was absolutely delicious. I had a hard time choosing what to order, but settled on the fresh hake with roast potatoes, tomatoes and cauliflower puree. It was so so good. I ate everything. My husband got a steak and chips, which were perfectly cooked. The meals around ours looked very good, too. Donegan's also pulls a brilliant pint and we had both Guinness and Smithwicks. Can't wait until we can come back again. Just love this place.

My husband and I both got fish & chips which were great, and the kids got chicken nuggets and chips and pasta, great big portions and everything came very quickly (though we were having a pretty early dinner, around 5 pm). I was impressed that the pasta had a chunky homemade bolognese sauce on it. The beer menu seemed somewhat limited but that could also be due to Covid and how much they're able to supply at the moment. We sat in their outdoor seating area which is OK - they've definitely done their best to try and stay open and meet the restrictions! I think I will enjoy it better when the indoor dining reopens though as it's hard to make a tent attractive. This is a great little off-the-beaten-track place though and I do hope to be back soon.

Walking through the bar I was sure we were going to a seat at the back, away from the windows, but large double doors opened into a bright modern restaurant, with a wonderful view of the sea through windows that run the full length of the the dining area. The food was very nice, and the view and surroundings were pretty spectacular. The sun was shining, and two horses were cantering down the beach. We went for a stroll along the sea front after our meal. Very idyllic.

Start, as they have, with top notch, fresh ingredients. Next cook the very best ingredients simply, and with passion. I could see the other happy diners receive their dishes and the food just looked so delicious. Be sure you complement the key ingredients on the plate with the supporting cast for instance I had Dublin bay prawns pil pil (€11). These are the best cold water prawns and they are just top notch; as warm water prawns don't ever come close in taste. This place served them up with finely sliced fresh red chilli (green chilli wouldn't pair as well) and a garlicky oil that delivered a delicious spice kick with a tangy after-burn mouth feel. The spicy balance was just right and what I really liked here too was their judicious use of garlic oil. I've had prawns pil pil in places where the prawns were over-cooked to dry, hard lumps swimming in copious vivid bright red pimento peppery oil. Here they served me up two types of bread - one seeded & lightly toasted that I used to dip into the chilli garlic oil so giving me a bit of crunch and light, wonderful wheaten bread that I heavily buttered with salted butter and a side salad. My wife opted for their seafood chowder which was crammed with fish and delicious. She also got the delightful wheaten bread. We are so used to 'white' potato based chowder - it was tomato based here so viva la difference. We also had very good cappuccinos (€3) and these came with a little home-made shortbread on the side and this too was a really nice touch. Service was friendly but not overbearing. I've two observations; the raw sliced red onion with the salad on my plate was acrid and as a result it clashed with the other tastes. This is easily resolved though - just soak the fresh sliced onion in cold water (or vinegar) for 10 minutes - or if you want to be posh instead soak them in lime or lemon juice for 10 minutes. The second observation: I didn't notice sea salt on the table, but perhaps it was there and I we were too engaged in my dining experience. In short this place is wonderful and well worth finding even if you are only passing by this town.
