This is a fairly mainstream restaurant. Nothing fancy, nothing horrible. Service was good. The room was clean. Food was ok, but unremarkable. Pizzas probably adapted to local tastes, and some ingredients seemed a bit incongruent. For example one the pizzas stated Basil as one of the ingredients, when it arrived it had dried basil on it-Maybe market demand determined this, but every other place Iâve been to always had fresh basil on the pizzas. Pizza base was good. Would go back.

An exciting cafe in Bundoran Co. Donegal, serving honest, tasty and fresh food in a bright and relaxing environment. Sip on a Badger & Dodo coffee to accompany a slice of home-baked cake, or enjoy our signature fresh fish finger sandwich with some homemad

On the recommendation of my son and a few other friends, I made a slight detour into Bundoran to see for myself just how good the HardyBaker Café really was. Tucked off Bundoranâs Main Street, I found the café which was full of vibrant chatter and people with happy faces - locals and visitors alike. Even though itâs a café, there was a lovely ambiance and vibe to the place, orchestrated by charming staff who seemed to know everyone or who certainly made everyone feel so welcome and special. The menu was spot on, not too fussy or pretentious but offered a great selection of tasty food. I was torn between the Hardy burger but was swayed by the lovely Meg who recommended crushed avocado on fresh sourdough, topped with soft poached eggs and their homemade relish. I was delighted I took her advice as it was absolutely delicious. The accompanying flat white was equally good and all served with charm and efficiency. Great staff.All in all, Iâd strongly recommend anyone to make a slight detour and sample the wonderful establishment that is The HardyBaker Café - a hidden gem!

Myself and my partner went here for dinner on Valentine's weekend, we had a, 8;45 reservation and when we arrived the restaurant was quiet busy, we were shown to our seats straight away by a friendly member of staff, complimentary bread and a small souo were served, for starters i had a king prawn and scallop florentine and my wife had the goats cheese bon bons, both were delicious. For mains i had the cod and my wife had the rack of lamb also delicious we finished off with cheesecake and a brulee, top class food and staff, worth the travel

We visited in late August, and Bundoran was very busy. My first impression of this restaurant is that they seem understaffed. I popped in earlier in the evening with a view to booking a table for later, but there was a family in front of me waiting to be seated, and I waited with them for 10 mins and not a single member of staff approached them to reassure them that they'd been seen. Even when other customers came up to the bar close by to pay. They were ignored. I returned later in the evening, having booked by telephone. We were not offered a drink by the waitress, and were not seen again for some time. In fact, I think we were only given food menus, with no price list for drinks. One of my sons needed a no2 in the toilets. He came back and said that one cubicle had a 'Out of Order' sign on, and the other appeared to be locked, but there was no one in there. He returned to the toilets several times during the evening, hoping that the problem would be resolved, but it wasn't. Eventually, after a long wait our food arrived. And here I have no complaint. We were all delighted with our dishes - especially me who had ordered the Seafood Chowder. It also took us a long time to work out how we could pay our bill. We took the direct action in the end and went up to the bar. So overall - food good, but service not so great.

Boy oh boy, we really landed on our feet when we entered Caroline's cafe! My parents and I popped in for lunch on a day trip to Bundoran. Brid (who is Caroline's daughter) and her team provided a most delicious lunch of fresh sandwiches for an amazing cost of 4 euro each (and there was a side salad!). I'd highly recommend a visit to this cafe - great service, excellent food and a great buzz to the place, thank you!

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. Itâs 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.

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.
