J. W.

If you are looking for an amazing cafe. I highly recommend Charlie’s West End Cafe on the Main Street in the Beautiful Village of Ardra, County Donegal, Ireland. Upon entering I was made feel very Welcome. I was handed a menu and my drinks order was taken. I ordered the Irish Breakfast. It was absolutely delicious and was just perfect! Definitely no complaints from me. The toast was made perfectly. The staff always make sure you are taken care of. I ended up going to Charlie’s West End Cafe at least six times during my stay in Ardara. I also tried their desserts and Sandwiches.Everything tasted amazing! Philomena, Glenda, Clare and all the staff are all professional, kind and genuinely care about their customers. Charlie’s West End Cafe rates Five Stars and more! It should be noted I am originally from Dublin, Ireland, lived in the United States for over thirty years and served in the United States Marines all over the world. I definitely know a great cafe from all my travels and life experiences. I definitely will return to Charlie’s West End Cafe in the near future. This establishment rates five stars and more! Very Clean Restaurant and Clean Restroom. You won’t be disappointed! A must in Ardara, County Donegal, Ireland.

Oh my! This was the nicest fish I've ever had lol, good size portion, friendly staff, very busy... must say I'll definitely go back next time I'm up that wat

Great food, I had breakfast here most mornings while on holidays, set me up for the day. Staff were friendly and helpful about nearby places to go see.

T. W.

Absolutely 5 Stars. I have visited there twice and had the most amazing battered haddock it was so fresh it was still flapping on the plate. I worked as a chef for years and I’d say it was one of the best I’ve ever had. They have won multiple Bridgestone food awards and deservedly so. And the fish and chips was only 10 Euros.

Stopped at the cafe on the way through to Glencolmcille and couldn't have found a better place to stop. The service was excellent, the food was wholesome and very tasty. Extremely friendly staff, a very clean cafe with very clean facilities. Nice and busy for 6pm with plenty of locals eating which is always a good sign

Service was brilliant and the food was delicious. The portion sizes are just right. Staff were very active in sterilising tables and chairs.

L. M.

I was recommended here for food and a great recommendation it was, it's exactly the kind of breakfast fry youd look for in Ireland and the staff are pleasant and full of good humour. No shortage of tea neither theres a reason this place has so many Bridgestone awards hanging on the wall outside. Its worth a detour and if you're passing make sure you stop.

S. M.

This place won me over by topping up my teapot, but it's also great thanks to its lovely staff and enormous range of delicious food. I had a spinach and goats cheese quiche and my partner scoffed fish and chips — both meals were excellent. Thanks!

C. D.

Just ate my own weight in fish. The produce is fresh, cooked to perfection and really reasonable. Very friendly staff. Highly highly recommended.

Great chipper good fish dishes, though the design and comfort of the cafe needs work. I suggest booths. It's a bit stark.

Small cheese cake and Sticky Toffee Pudding very good and not expensive at all. I recommend. (Original) Meilleur fish and chips que j ai mangé. Poisson bien frais et panure maison toute légère. Un délice et pourtant je n aime pas beaucoup le poisson en général. Petit cheese cake et Sticky Toffee Pudding très bons et pas chers du tout. Je recommande.
