Pull up a chair at Greencastle's celebrated harbour-front restaurant for a multi-course seafood lunch built entirely around the morning's catch — landed just metres away. The freshest Donegal crab, oysters and Atlantic salmon, with Irish soda bread baked that morning.
What to expect
The dining room looks directly over the working harbour and across Lough Foyle to County Antrim. Starters of Donegal Bay oysters or smoked salmon pâté give way to whole plaice, Foyle crab claws or the catch-of-the-day according to the fleet's haul. Irish soda bread arrives warm from the kitchen. Service is warm, unpretentious and deeply knowledgeable about provenance. This is Irish coastal food at its honest, glorious best.
Good to know
Walk straight off the ship — it is that close. Reservations strongly recommended, especially on days when multiple ships call. Book directly via the Kealy's website or phone. Lunch service typically runs 12:30–15:00; confirm current hours when booking.
