Donnelly's of Barna

Although not inexpensive, the combination of good cooking, friendly attentive service and a relaxing ambience make this good value
Seats 150. Open daily from 12 noon (Sun 12.30). Food: L Mon-Sat 12-4pm; D Mon-Thu & Sun 4-9pm, Fri & Sat 4-9.45pm. Car park. MasterCard, Visa. abbreviations

Recent developments may have changed the shape and scale of Barna, but Donnelly’s of Barna is still a landmark at the crossroads, where a little road leads down to the harbour.


Established in 1892, this seafood restaurant and bar serves food all day and always seems to be busy. It is a comfortable old world pub with little snugs, comfy corners and bric à brac as well as a more formal dining area.


The same bar menu is served throughout the house, and the atmosphere is a casual friendly pub rather than formal dining. The menu offers a lot of seafood starters like moules marinière or pan-fried crab claws, and main courses of haddock mornay and fillet of salmon are all regulars - balanced by other favourites like shoulder of lamband sirloin steak.


Desserts - home-made chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream & raspberry sauce and profiteroles with chocolate sauce are enticing and the wine list is not too pricey.


Although not inexpensive, the combination of good cooking, friendly attentive service and a relaxing ambience make this good value.
