Nestled by a picturesque river, this charming restaurant exudes warmth and inviting ambiance, making it a perfect stop for travelers. Patrons rave about the friendly staff and the delightful decor, which enhances the dining experience. While some dishes, such as the seafood chowder and fish and chips, receive high praise for their freshness and flavor, a few visitors experienced minor inconsistencies, particularly with menu availability. Overall, the restaurant’s cozy atmosphere, complemented by a warming fire and excellent coffee, creates a memorable visit. It’s a destination worth seeking out for a delightful meal in a quaint setting.

Excellent food and the most amazing staff. Was there last Sunday for a family celebration. There were 14 of us including 5 children. The food was so tasty and the service was exceptional. Thank you to everyone in Biddys for making our meal so memorable.

We stopped into Biddy’s as our local accommodation recommended it and my god was it a lovely place. So cosy and warm inside, real old Irish pub feel to it, the food is gorgeous and they’ve recently added a number of cocktails to their menu so I was delighted! The waitress serving us was a neighbour to our accommodation so we started chatting with her and she’s so friendly! Would definitely recommend if staying in Donegal town or passing through!!
