Harry's Restaurant ( Bridgend - 20 minutes)

Not to be missed on your trip to Inishowen is a gastronomic treat at the award winning Harrys!

"Welcome to Harry's! The idea is a simple one, a restaurant that sources everything from one small beautiful peninsula - Inishowen! Everything includes all our beef and lamb from Edenmore farm & rare-breed pork from Fowler & Hamilton organic farms. What makes us even more special is our own hanging room to mature meats to their optimum (up to 28 days for some beef cuts). "Possibly the best steak in the world" shouts the Daily Mail "

 Primavera

"Really great Italian food here - had the entree mussels in garlic and white wine sauce, we ate heaps of the sauce by itself at the end it was so good. We had the Primavera pizza which was also really good. Felt like the restaurant deserved a review since they didn't have any yet - here is the first  well... more" ... turasoir1

The Rusty Nail Pub 

Lies on the Inishowen 100 scenic route in Urris below the rocky ridges which includes Ragtin More, and across the fields from the golden sands of Tullagh Bay. The pub is named after a flame-haired owner of the 1930s, and incidentally is also a wicked cocktail!!!

The Rusty welcomes visitors all year round with hot tasty food, including many varieties of local seafood and you are always guaranteed good craic.

The Drift Inn

The railway bar was purchased by Dan and Molly Porter in 1952 and refurbished in a unique maritime style which reflected Lough Swilly's sea fishing tradition and in particular Buncrana's herring industry which operated in close proximity to the railway station until the 1930's . The premises has been maintained in this style to the present day, and is much admired and loved by patrons. In 1970 the remaining sections of the former railway station were purchased by Dan and Molly . Newly refurbished, 'Drift Inn' is now even better equipped to cater for all your needs.
