McGrory's Hotel Culdaff

Excellent. Food was top notch. The fish was just amazing. The battery was crispy and light. Good setting and the Guinness was very good. Try the chowder- was next level.

Our table was booked for 7 o’clock and when we arrived it was ready and we were informed as their dinning room getting renovated the staff let us know we were in another room and showed us in and we were delighted with the whole set up and the atmosphere was excellent. Staff were really friendly and very attentive. Also staff member Sarah was very informative on dishes and made us feel so welcome and relaxed

We took family from overseas to McGorys for dinner. The staff were very warm, friendly and helpfully. The food was beautiful. All the fish is sourced locally. |We were informed there would be traditional music the following evening. We returned the following to hear the music in the old traditional bar.|Overall we all enjoyed both visits to McGorys will definitely visit again.|Sharon - Co Kildare

Our first time eating here, we had the fish and chips , which were delicious. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. We came back the next day after a walk with our dogs, for coffee and scones(very tasty). Again the staff were so lovely, and attended to us and both of our dogs, providing them with a fresh bowl of water which the very much appreciated. We were invited inside with them as they are dog friendly, but opted to stay outside as it was a lovely day. Thank you from the 2 humans and 2 very grateful puppers 🐕🐕👍

Recently reopened under new management and a great improvement. Called in for lunch and a pint of Guinness after walking the dog. Food was exceptional and the bar is now dog friendly. Having given up on this bar a few years ago it's great to see it re-open with a totally new approach. Well done.

We went to mcgroys for dinner on Sunday we had heard it had been taken over this can be a good thing mostly on arrival we were greeted by the manager she was a bit sharp but it was busy so we understood she showed us to the table and one of the waitresses came and took our order which took approximately 45 minutes to come I had ordered the crab ravioli which was very nice until almost every mouthful I got a piece of crab shell not good I I told the waitress about this when we were finished eating the manager came over and said I understand you got some shell in the ravioli grinning at me and said sorry about that and walked away. If she had said have a drink on us or take something of the bill this would have been a much better review I have to say the waitresses were very good the manager not so much would I go back proberbly not

We had dinner for 12, with 7 of those being <13. All the food was exceptional. I had the fish n chip & have not had such lovely, light and crispy battered cod in decades, it was fabulous!! The kids ate everything (always a good sign) and the portions were generously sized! Great friendly service and value for money! If we're ever here again, we'll stop again!

Such a disappointment. It has really gone off the boil. We eat at Mcgrory's at least once every summer for our annual trip home to Inishowen. For a while it had been the best and most reliable place for a good meal on the peninsula, thanks to the Bhutanese chef who had not only the mastered the standard Donegal fare but also added a mean curry and some welcome but accessible innovations (Football Special-marinaded chicken wings!!). We were really looking forward to our reservation last week, but saddened to see that the only thing that really remained from the previous McGrory's experience was the friendly, helpful waiting staff. The menu has got shorter and more boring, and the food does not hit the heights. Steaks - it must be said - were well cooked, but the burger was dense and heavy while the seafood salad came with smoked salmon that had been warmed up! The texture was tougher and the flavour reduced - not what you expect at all, let alone for €28! My wife flagged it with the waitress, in case there had been a mistake, but the table next to us suffered the same fate when their food was delivered 30 mins later. Hopefully this is teething trouble after new management took over. We've had enough great evenings to give it a chance next year, but we'll be returning with some trepidation!

We dropped in for lunch on a rainy July day. I wasn't that hungry so I ordered a mussel appetizer. It was something like 13€ but it was a serving big enough for a meal. The mussels were locally harvested so the6 were really fresh. A great deal! My wife had a vegan curry rice dish which was excellent as well. Forgot exactly how much it cost but it was good value as well. We were pleasantly surprised they actually had a vegan dish on the menu.

We arrived at 7pm the bar was buzzing but restaurant empty. We weren't planning on a three course meal but the menu was very appealing. Setting: Very nice, spacious with bare stone walls and tea lights everywhere which was very cosy! We had intended only to have a starter or light snack but the bar was full (buzzing) and no available seating for our party of 4 so we tried the restaurant-It was a Sunday evening and we had the whole place to ourselves- I love it when this happens, it makes me feel like a celebrity! :) Food: Very difficult to please all four of us as we have such different tastes but this restaurant was fabulous. Lovely range of foods and extensive wine list catering for a wide variety of tastes- all well priced. (Two courses for 25€ ; three courses 29€) My main was salmon and hake - well cooked and flavorsome, sides came included (veg, potato and chips) Staff: Waiting staff were helpful but not intrusive. I'd have liked more help / recommendation with the wine choice.

Foods great if maybe a little expensive. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Quite intimate this is great for a treat.

Owners are WONDERFUL! Will do anything even open early if the know you want in! Spent a great afternoon talking with them and even there dog Penny!

We had a group of 11, ages 25-75, on a Saturday evening. Staff was warm and accommodating. Delicious dinner, served hot. Food is homemade with locally grown ingredients. Live music started around 9:30-10PM. McGrorys has top notch music acts all year round. We didn't stay at the hotel, but rooms are clean, comfortable. An authentic Irish pub and much more!
