Old Stone — Restaurant in County Donegal

My family and I passed through Donegal and decided on this establishment based on the menu selections (proper coffee selections). It's a cute cafe with a great atmosphere located near a car park.

The food was amazing. My husband had the Pecan Belgium Waffle and loved it. It was sweet, but not too sweet. The bacon is more like ham, so if you're from America we want you to have proper expectations. My son had the Vegetable Soup, which he's tried at every restaurant we've stopped along the way. It had a sweet, fresh flavor with little bits of carrots in it. My daughter had the Old Stone Burrito which came with a side if potatoes she absolutely loved. The burrito was done well and paired with a sauce on the side. I had the Cinnamon French Toast. I was thrilled to see it came with proper berry compote. We've had compote at other places in Ireland and it was like canned pie filling. This tasted as if it was just made with my meal. It tasted very good and was light and fluffy. Must be the Irish milk that made the difference. Overall, we would eat here again.

The dirty Chai came as expected in a nice sized cup and truly hit the spot. My daughter had an iced caramel latte and didn't care much for that. I didn't mind it but wouldn't order it again.

The only thing lacking was service. We had to get up from the table to order food, to get more water and for to-go containers. No one came by after dropping food off to see how...

Was very disappointed on Saturday the 6th of September around 10:30am, anytime I’ve been here before the food was very good. The morning in discussion the service was so disappointing, I walked in with two others, there was three young staff members together behind the counter. We waited a few minutes, understandably as it was busy but when a waitress came over she was not in any way friendly or welcoming, pointing us down to our table instead of walking us to the table. We then waited longer than expected to get menus or an offer of giving a drink order while we waited. Eventually a different member of staff put a bunch of menus on the table without saying a word, we didn’t even have a chance to order a coffee or any drink while deciding what to order. We continued to wait 15 minutes if not more to order even a coffee nevermind food. Unfortunately we had to get up and leave, the staff I mentioned at first didn’t seem to even notice and were again together behind the counter talking. I say I was disappointed as I’ve been here before and never encountered service like this. The food quality is great hence the visit just feel the staff really let it down on...

Food was lovely, everything cooked perfectly, friendly staff but very confused and bad understanding of what we wanted, I asked for a small fry, the child wanted pancakes bacon syrup, hubby asked for large fry, the waitress then told me the small breakfast is for kids only so I said okay il just have large black coffee, we also asked for a coke or Pepsi for the child, While serving was fast it was completely wrong, hubby got his fry, she also handed me a large fry, which I just took and didn't explain that I didn't order two large frys, then a small fry for the child, which I did explain she wanted pancakes bacon syrup, waitress seemed to struggle with what we were saying, she explains that there is no maple syrup so we went with the Nutella and strawberries, the child also never received her drink, I gave her the milk that was brought to the table (I think for my coffee). It felt more like ordering food abroad than in my own country due to lack of understanding. Seemed to be all down to speaking different languages and...
