Description

Tucked beside Carter's Beach in Westport, Donaldo's is a tidy, welcoming pub-restaurant serving hearty Kiwi tucker, standout burgers and classic fish-and-chips at reasonable prices. Clean facilities and quick, friendly service handle packed nights with ease; guests enjoy generous portions, covered outdoor seating and ocean views, plus takeaway options. Popular with locals, tourists and families (playground across the road), it’s an unpretentious coastal favorite — just be mindful that parking can be limited.

Our favorite place to eat in Westport! We've been there numerous times, whether it’s just the two of us or with large groups. No matter the size of the party, the food and service are always exceptional!

Miles and I had a wonderful evening at Donaldos during our recent trip to Westport. We enjoyed delightful company with Barb and savored delicious food from her kitchen.

We had the pleasure of enjoying breakfast and a fish and chips dinner from Donaldo's during our stay, and we can't say enough good things about either one. The highlight was...

As an Australian, I was completely blown away by this restaurant. I've never encountered an atmosphere quite like it in my life. It has a fantastic blend of locals and tourists, all enjoying their meals and having a great time. The staff members were extremely friendly, going above and beyond – they even checked in on us twice during a busy period, which was impressive. The food was absolutely incredible! That beef burger will be remembered as one of the all-time greats. The facilities were clean, prices were very reasonable, and the service was quick even when the place was packed. It’s no wonder this restaurant has such a stellar reputation. Whether you're a local or a visitor, make sure to add this spot to your list – you won't regret it!
