Olde Castle

★ 4.0 / 5 (7060 reviews)

Nestled near Donegal Castle, this charming pub and restaurant offers a delightful dining experience marked by friendly service and a cozy atmosphere. Although some seafood dishes may vary in quality—with both fresh oysters and overcooked hot options—the overall menu shines with favorites like mussels, fish and chips, and chowder. The selection of local beers complements the meal perfectly. While the ambiance is inviting, a few patrons noted some drawbacks, such as lingering fuel odors and initial service hiccups. Despite these minor issues, guests consistently commend the attentive staff and encourage visitors to embrace the delicious offerings.

We ate very well. Delicious. However, the controls take some getting used to. Unfortunately, you have the feeling that you are a real nuisance as a guest. However, the food makes up for it. Ambiance is also very nice.
