La Bella Donna

Italian Restaurant

Reviewed By frac38 - Glasgow

Arrived at the door for dinner as a group of six without a reservation and were professionally accommodated after some reshuffling of tables. We all had a variety of dishes from steak to pasta along with a carafe of house red and everyone was complimentary on the quality of the food and drink. A Lovely atmosphere and decor coupled with a price range that won't break the bank gives you a great little Italian restaurant which i would highly recommend if in Donegal Town.

My family and I took a 10 day trip to Ireland in late June. This was the best meal we had, hands down. Everything form the brown bread to the fish and beef dishes we ordered were top-shelf. It was quiet in June, before the busy season, so we had a chance to talk with the owner who was also our server!

Reviewed By Fluffybunny1973

Myself and my 5 family members went here for a meal out. The food was lovely, the highlight being the starter of prawns and monkfish. It is unique to Killybegs it seems and it's definitely a family favourite. No starter could ever compare to it. The whole meal was good but it peaked early with the starter!!

Couldn't recommend enough! Staff are amazing, so accommodating! You can literally order anything! And if they have it they'll cook it! The owner even popped down to see if everything was OK!

Reviewed By Jefferson H

If you order the fish and chips, you should consider sharing unless you have a huge appetite. A more functional restaurant rather than loaded with rustic charm, the food is excellent. The seafood chowder was very good and had a slight tomato taste.

Ahoy Cafe

Cafe serving breakfast, soups, sandwiches and hot lunches. Homemade baked goods and Lavazza Coffee all day too. Daily seafood specials.

Reviewed By Niallmc29 - Belfast, United Kingdom

Found this cafe after checking Killybegs on TripAdvisor. It is situated overlooking the harbour with excellent access. The staff were very attentive and informative without being overbearing and pushy. There was a great choice of food and drink, including wine. The cafe is very chilled out and well worth a visit. I shall definitely be back when next in the town.
