Tank and Skinny's Seaside

A beautiful restaurant right by the sea. My partner and I decided to visit this place for Brunch. Although it was quite crowded, we found a lovely spot to out on the covered verandah. The food was delicious and the service was great. I would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a date spot or just a place to grab some food.

A beautiful spot for a casual dining experience. I had the vegan chip box and I really enjoyed it! The servings were generous and the prices were reasonable. You can also order to go, so we actually came back for an ice cream. I would definitely recommend a visit if you’re in the area!

A fantastic place for a breakfast or lunch, located on the coast with some stunning views, and a car park 30 seconds walk away.

I’ve been a customer multiple times so I am experienced enough in commenting. Honestly, the only plus is the location & view, if you’re lucky enough to get a seat out on the balcony! Walked out yesterday! Waiting for order to be taken & noticed the energy was atrocious. Customers all sitting angry, wondering when they will be next to get served. One table complained to the male maître dee & he simply brushed them off & didn’t care. Other tables were getting served before ppl waiting longer. We only wanted coffees but the hatch was closed. . . Whoever runs this establishment needs to take a business class because there is never enough staff on, for some reason closes at 3.30pm/4pm despite the demand being through the roof, the place could serve as a restaurant at night too as it serves alcohol. It needs more staff & for the current staff to be more alert & care more about the customers. What is the point of having a 2nd floor if you never open it during weekdays?? Especially in sunny days when Buncrana gets more footfall. Seems like owners are tight with the budget. How many cafes are there? Perhaps grow the empire if you’re genuinely in it for the hospitality experience to your customers.

We loved our breakfast at Tank and Skinny‘s. We had an avocado sourdough bread with a poached egg and a veggie full Irish plus two power porridges and two cappuccinos. The food was really good. The service was unfortunately a little slow and could have been more attentive.

Where Buncrana’s sea whispers secrets to the shore, a seaside haven hums with quiet enigma. Lunch unfolds like a riddle, served by faces warm as hidden coves, their kindness a subtle spell. The food—sublime, woven from the region’s deepest flavors—unravels on the tongue. Cozy yet vast, the space holds you close, while the view, a wild tapestry of ocean and sky, guards its own mysteries. A place where heart and horizon conspire.

We were only going to buy a quick pastry but ended up eating a full meal. Absolutely beautiful view. Aboooorable seating. We ate a late breakfast and it was amazing. Lovely selection. They did not hold back on the kids Nutella pancakes 😂 I truly recommend

The view is out of this world! A treat on its own to sit and have coffee staring at the beachfront! The food is nice and the coffee tasty! Definitely worth waiting for a table with a view…just delightful!
