For a hearty meal from a moderately priced menu, you should visit Simpsons in Carndonagh in the Inishowen peninsula in North Donegal. The current outdoor eating arrangements due to Covid are well organised. If you are venturing to Malin Head, Ireland's most northerly point, this would be a recommended stop for dinner or lunch.

From the moment we walked in the door the service was first class. The staff are very pleasant and accommodating. We didn't have to wait long for anything, and got a great seat by the fire. Our food was very tasty and reasonably priced. Will definitely be back when we are in the area again.

J. J.

This place, the food and most of all, the people were amazing!! We stopped here on our trip around Ireland and it was probably our favorite restaurant stop we made on the entire island!

Z. B.

Food was unreal. Service farely quick. Very good staff

E. D.

A lovely spot for lunch. Recommend the fish goujons on brioche. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Lots of locals eating there and a lovely outdoor areas which they kindly allowed us to sit in with our dogs.

S. L.

I always look forward to my meal in Simpsons. It is always excellent. I can only complement the chefs and the staff. And it is great value for money.

S. M.

Food is first class and service is great. Guinness I thought was a bit thin but I'm fussy . Great atmosphere overall

G. M.

Excellent . The staff were friendly and while busy were genuinely interested that customers were getting good service. The food didn't take long to arrive and was terrific. We were really impressed.

K. M.

A very nice menu with lots of delicious dishes and deserts to choose from. The staff were very welcoming and attentive, the outdoor dining area was in a lovely setting and well spaced and the facilities were spotless. Overall a lovely family dining experience.

We haven't been here in a while. Used to be a great place for food. Was a bit disappointed in my recent visit. I got chicken Maryland, was out very quick & was tasteless. My daughter ordered a cheese pizza, & later found out there was onions in the sauce for the base. She only ate 1 slice. This used to be 5 star in my book, not today.

C. L.

An excellent local pub with phenomenal food!!

Sept.2017 My B&B host dropped me off here for some dinner. Sat at the bar, had a great traditional Irish plate of pub grub. Was quiet in there...not much going on. Ate & left.

N. M.

Great food Staff very friendly Menu great to choose from and early bird menu Grest value. I could not eat another thing. I actual could not finish my desert my favourite thing. Surroundings is grand. When bar is quiet it's relaxing spot. If bar was noisey then it might be different situation altogether. 2nd time eating in it as I don't be in that area much. But it's a place I would return when I am in the area

J. M.

S. Q.

If you're ever in this part of Ireland, you need to get a bite here. It is a nice, clean, and delicious place to eat. I ordered two of the starters, the seafood chowder and the Atlantic prawn salad and was very satisfied with both the taste and the portion size. My husband ordered the stuffed peppers and thought they were some of the best he had ever eaten (even better than the ones I make). The sweet potato fries were also very good. The lunch was so good and we were so hungry that no pictures were taken, so you'll have to go see it all for yourself.

J. O.

Absolutely delicious. A menu with a wide variety and wonderful food. The staff was incredibly friendly and the place itself was designed so amazingly. True Irish feel to it. Highly recommend!!
