Reviews of Ahoy Cafe

L. W.

This is an amazing place to eat, great vibes, really nice people and super food. I fancied some of their calamari on top of their super salad and they whipped it up no problem and at the same price. Food of the Gods… I only wish they opened for breakfast

L. V.

The seafood chowder was great, but the fish and monkfish were quite disappointing. The beer was served warm & the service was extremely slow, that's why 3 stars.

J. S.

Amazing food and great service. I went back 3 times and had the Ahoy Club, the “Irish Benny” (pictured) and a couple of slices of possibly the best Lemon Drizzle Cake I’ve ever tasted. A must-go establishment if you’re near Killybegs.

L. M.

Lovely breakfast / brunch menu. The fry was not greasy at all. Good quality ingredients. There is a great covered outdoor seating area.

P. B.

Excellent coffee. The mussels in white wine sauce were first class. Second visit today after a year. Still under Covid restrictions so outside seating only. Excellent Seafood Chowder and Calamari Tacos. Friendly and efficient service.

Amazing food. Outdoor seating only due to Covid restrictions but plenty umbrellas. Very heavy downpour the day we ate there but the staff were excellent and kept serving food covering it with trays. Credit due to them for being so pleasant working in the rain. As soon as it passed they dried up any wet tables and brushed away any puddles. They even facilitated customers who wanted to leave as they had pets or young children by giving them their food as takeaways. We stayed and the food was presented immaculately. I had crab toes in white wine sauce and they were the nicest I've ever eaten not a huge portion but it was lunch not dinner and I could have ordered a side if I wanted more. My 8 year old son had a club sandwich and he finished it all. My husband & daughter had pulled beef baps which looked fab. The coffee was perfect. It was our favourite meal of our holidays, enough to convince me to visit Donegal again in spite of the 5 hour drive!!

M. M.

Lovely little cafe food fine coffee gorgeous,staff as good as the food they served..would recommend

C. T.

Ahoy Cafe was a lovely clean and bright restaurant to eat in. The staff was very nice and helpful. We would go in there again next time we will be in Killybegs. Thank you ❣️😊

C. “. M.

Nice cafe with views to Killybegs harbour. The food was fresh and tasty, and good portions at a good price, staff welcoming and attentive. Would definitely return.

c. c.

After a 20 minute wait (which was well worth it) our family group of 6 were seated in a quiet corner in the garden. The service was prompt and staff very friendly and chatty despite being busy. The food (we had battered haddock, monkfish, calamari and buttermilk chicken) was amazing. My haddock was so good, I ordered an extra portion. The seafood couldnt be fresher. The rest of my party had deserts which they really enjoyed. The locally produced Kinegar craft beers are also worth a try. The menu is also very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend Ahoy.

M. D.

The Ahoy Cafe Is a lovely place, great food and amazing scones. Friendly staff will definitely visit again. Keep up the great work

A. B.

Wonderful Cafe with delicious food (we had the soup of the day, chips and the super food salad) and lovely staff - and a huge plus : dog friendly! :)

C. B.

Such a beautiful spot. Great view of the harbour and an impressive menu. Kids friendly, lots of space inside, great selection of craft beer and wine, authentic and sophisticated sea food dishes at reasonable price. It's a gem of a restaurant hosted by its owner. Perfect on a sunny day if you're hoping to sit outside. Beautiful garden and great calm atmosphere.

B. C.

Lovely place wholesome food ; salad very fresh tasty and fish dishes had plenty of fish; staff friendly too

D. L.

Amazing food and a lovely place to enjoy eating it. Friendly staff and a warm atmosphere make it a great place to stop for quick tea and a bun or something more substantial.

C. O.

Have eaten there on three different occasions and each time the food was delicious. Friendly and helpful staff, lovely views from the outdoor area and great value too. Can't wait to go back!

T. L.

I had a very tasty monkfish!

S. C.

The most delightful cafe, rich coffee and delicious home made scones in a beautiful setting. And wheelchair accessible!

L. G.

Beautiful seafood chowder followed by great fish and chip, quality food indeed

I had breakfast here. It was beyond what I expected. Eggs benedict with bacon and pudding. Presented with grilled vine cherrie tomatoes and toasted almonds. I didn't leave hungry. The girls serving the tables were all very present, polite and welcoming.

J. T.

Lovely restaurant with fantastic tasty and well presented food at great affordable prices

D. M.

Lovely setting with very polite & friendly staff. Haddock taco 🌮 were delicious as was the super food salad with chicken, blueberries 🫐 and strawberries 🍓. Kids loved the chicken goujons.

P. S.

Great cafe! Friendly staff, very cozy and really enjoyable coffee. the brownie with vanilla icecream was from another world ...

J. D.

The food was good and tasty, but for a simple egg, sousage and Avocado we had to wait 40 minutes. If it wasn't for the wait time, this place would be 4.5 stars.

A. G. M.

Excellent find on a day touring round Killybegs. Monkfish was first class. Hope to be back soon.

J. L.

We had breakfast here while away on holiday. We had the Irish breakfast and it was absolutely fabulous! Staff were lovely. Restaurant is also very dainty and comfortable. We liked it so much we came back the second day and had eggs Benedict. Same again! Beautiful! Will definitely come back next time we visit. Thanks guys!

D. H. W.

More than 5 stars!! Definitely one of the best breakfasts I've ever eaten. Presented well, service was a bit slow but once the order was taken it soon arrived. We both went for the mega Breakfast. It was so tasty every item cooked to perfection!! I'd drive all the way back from Wicklow to have a breakfast as special as this anytime 👍

G. M.

Perfect place for a relaxing break. Amazing food, great coffee and very kind service. Not to miss if you’re in the area.

Y. J. V.

Stopped by on a 6 day cycling tour. Stunning scenery and lovely service with excellent food. Great beer selection and tops espresso drinks. Hi!! Miss you!

Lovely meal with great views 😁

C. K.

It has been a long long time since I enjoyed my lunch as much as I have done here today. I had the chowder and the hot chick wrap.. The kids had ham and cheese toasties, the daily soup was lovely.. Good Coffee too.. Definitely will be back..

V. -. F. a. T.

What a nice place for a stop! Lovely atmosphere, amazing service, and the cakes 😊😊😊

M. R.

Yesterday I had the most amazing breakfast I've had anywhere in Ireland (and I've visited all over for years and now live here) at the Ahoy Cafe in Killybegs! The 'mega breakfast' was incredibly delicious and reasonably priced, plus there was no upcharge for tea/coffee and toast which isn't always the case at other places. The various ingredients were high-quality and cooked and seasoned to perfection. The table service staff and staff at the till were also genuinely warm and friendly which just made the whole meal even nicer. I HIGHLY recommend Ahoy cafe for breakfast!!

p. k.

Lovely cafe in the harbour, easy access, car park near by.. Staff very friendly, dog friendly,food delicious (super food salad recommended). Will be stopping there again when in the area..

N. P.

Lovely place. staff are attentive but not so much so that they're disturbing your meal. As a vegan with very picky vegetarian children it's nice to have somewhere that offers a couple of menu options for the kids. Would be fab if they had more vegan options beyond their vegetable soup or having to remove ingredients from other meals. Alot of the dishes are chicken or fish but it's a great atmosphere

y. d.

A great place to have a coffee and some lunch.

D. M.

Best fish and chips, with great staff:)

P. M.

Amazing fish & Chips! Will come back again!

Really nice and lovely view sitting outside

D. G.

Nice location and friendly staff. Food was very good. Only fault is that they were a little under staffed, taking 15 mins for our first drinks to be brought and 45 minutes from order for our food to be delivered. People left due to the wait as for as we seen.
