Melly's Cafe

Mellys was Opened in 1956 and is still run by the same family. You can sit in and take in the beautiful view of the large fishing port and watch the world go by. Mellys has a friendly relaxed atmosphere. Full Take away menu also available.

Melly's was recommended to us for dinner when we stayed at the Seawinds B & B. It was a great find! We enjoyed a wonderful meal of fish and chips. Nothing more, nothing less. Don't go to Melly's for the ambiance, but go for great, fresh seafood. You will not be disappointed.

The Lobster Pot

Reviewed By Patrick I

We had just returned from an amazing boat trip... and were ready for good food. Well the Lobster Pot provided just that, in a super-enchanting atmosphere...The meal was excellent and the pints were perfect too. The service was very good and pleasant with great cráic and banter.In all honesty I couldn't fault a thing...loved all the county jerseys on display along with many other interesting artifacts and memorabilia.You would easily recognize and appreciate the fact that the family put their heart and soul into the place. A very pleasurable experience....thank you

Reviewed By MaryDoherty

Three of us dined here mid July and had a lovely evening. The restaurant was busy but we had no trouble getting a table and being served promptly. The atmosphere matched the food and we enjoyed Lasagne, Prawn and Crab salad and Turkey, Ham and Stuffing wraps. We had a long chat with the Italian owner whose friendly, welcoming approach was reflected in the treatment we received from the rest of the staff. She recommended the coffee they were selling and we agreed that it was beautifully flavoured and without a bitter after taste. This restaurant is a wonderful addition to life in the beautiful village of Glencolmcille and we look forward to a return visit.

Nancy's

Reviewed By TouristBoy

Some years back, Nancy’s chowder won prizes and it is easy to see why. The chowder is full of fish and well-flavoured, a generous portion too. I had a prawn sandwich as well - the sauce was full of tasty and fresh prawns. The atmosphere here is relaxed in a traditional Irish bar by the bridge in Ardara. An overall good experience.

The Turntable Restaurant at the Tara Hotel

Reviewed By ameszaros

I went with my cousin Mary when I visited in June - in fact we went 3 times in 5 days it was so good. Food delicious, one very small criticism is there should have been finger bowls provided after I had eaten the Chicken Wings to clean my hands and a side plate to put the bones on. These small extras make such a difference and are usually standard in good restaurants. Apart from that excellent.I really enjoyed the Sunday lunch excellent value for money. The staff are very helpful, polite and efficient. Annie Meszaros

Nancy's

Reviewed By U6498DStardust

I had a group of 7 friends visiting from around Ireland. I called Nancys on the Friday to reserve a table for the seven of us. I knew it was a small bar and seating 7 at a table may be a challenge. I was told on the phone that they don't do reservations. There website mentions bookings for groups or party's. With 7 people I considered us a group given the size of the venue but their website doesn't give an exact number.The lady said to come early to get a table. I was disappointed but tried to be optimistic we'd get a table. After a day touring Glencolmcille we arrived in Nancy's at 7pm. The place was pretty crammed!There wasn't anyone on the floor to seat customs or ask about a table. I went to the bar and asked if there was tables. They said no a big group were in already and all other tables taken. There were 5 people ahead waiting on tables to free up. They suggested we could wait a half hour and maybe they would have something but they could not guarantee it. There wasn't room free to even enjoy a drink comformbly whilst we wait. I did tell the waiter that it was very disappointing to drive to Nancy's specifically and get turned away even when we had tried to make a reservation. The waitress didn't care at all. I most say I was very embarrassed and let down by Nancy's as were my group of friends. In the many places I have travelled I never have been refused a reservation and then to wait around with only the slightest potential of getting a table.I brought my friends to the Highland Hotel Glenties. I did not have a reservation. We got a lovely big table. The service was very professional and efficient and the food perfection. Nancy's should really just be a bar because from what I've read on this they don't seem to have a clue when it come to dining or service!Safe to say I won't be recommending it, my parents are local and have mentioned the times they were there many options on the menu were not available.

Kitty Kelly's Restaurant

Reviewed By nauj63

This pink painted exterior of this restaurant creates a certain amount of intrigue as does it’s name. ‘Quaint & Commercial’ or ‘Local, inviting & authentic’ ? Most definitely the latter is our experience. The atmosphere upon arrival is warm - more Kath Kidston than olde worlde Ireland - and the welcoming smiles from the young waiting staff was super. The menu does its job in that the taste buds are jolted into anticipation as the content is read. Thereafter, we had a fantastic night all round. The food is ‘stand out’ - the lobster ‘special’ was to die for ( and that’s just an example ! ). Service was outstanding and the overall environment ‘excellent’... Donna ( the co-owner ) was on hand throughout the proceedings but tellingly she ‘presented’ as ‘one of the team’ and not ‘the Boss’. Speaking to her staff, they seemed proud that they’d been with her and her husband from the outset - and were part of the creation of what is an undoubtedly fantastic business for them ; a superb experience for us ! Congratulations... Happy Birthday Hazel !

The Bayview Bar

Reviewed By GlasgowWinenut

We went here for our first night based in dungloe. we managed to get a table as it was very busy on a Friday night. Lovely feeling not rowdy and nice drink selection. Food menu was good and portions big. I has the vegetarian curry with rice and it also came with chips. Hubby had the fish and chips with mushy peas and onion rings. Again a great portion and everything was very tasty.Dear GlasgowWinenut,Thank you for choosing The Bayview on your recent visit to Dungloe.I am delighted to read that both yourself and your husband enjoyed both meals and found them to be plentiful.I look forward to seeing you back again if you're ever in the area.RegardsCharlieBar Manager

Spent an evening here with my cousins, brother and eldest son. Great bar and the Guinness was as good as any place. Then upstairs to the restaurant for our meal. Very attentive waitress and exceptionally fast service. Food was excellent and presentation AA+. Were kicked out as they were closing the restaurant. This gives an idea of how much we were enjoying everything.

Spent a week in Donegal & Derry, ate at some posh places... Ahoy gave us our best meal by far! The breakfast was superb - especially the honey roasted tomatoes with sesame seeds! I stuck my head in to the kitchen to nick some ideas, and they were wonderful! If I wasn't hundreds of miles away I'd eat there most days!
