Coach Lane Restaurant @ Donaghy's Bar

The restaurant over Orla and Andy Donaghy’s pub in Sligo is approached by an attractive side alley, with a menu board displayed on the street.

It’s a long narrow room, furnished in a comfortable mixture of traditional and contemporary styles, with well-appointed white-clothed tables, soft lighting and neatly uniformed waitresses in black polo shirts and trousers with white aprons all creating a good impression.

Andy’s menus are lively and attractive, the cooking is confident and, an active supporter of local produce, he does a great line in well-aged steaks, and seafood. The cooking style ranges from traditional (steak with home-made fries, and a choice of toppings) to more unusual dishes such as pasta Puttanesca, with olives, anchovies, hot peppers, cherry tomatoes oregano & garlic and veal piccata – sautéed Irish milk-fed veal, with field mushrooms, capers, lemons, Chablis and butter..

This attractive well-run restaurant has earned a well-deserved place as one of the best in the area.
