Two popular Donegal eateries have maintained their Michelin recommendations for 2024.
The Lemon Tree in Letterkenny and The Olde Glen Bar have both earned their keep in the famous Michelin red book.
From fine-dining to local experiences, a wide variety of restaurants are featured in the presitgious guide each year for their commitment to serving quality food.
The Lemon Tree has featured in the Guide for several years, and The Olde Glen Bar has maintained its spot after being recommended by Michelin inspectors for the first time in 2023.
Both establishments have recieved glowing reviews from Michelin’s vaunted inspectors, who are notoriously hard to please in the restaurant industry.
“This remote inn dates from the 1760s, and its somewhat modest façade gives little indication as to the charm and character that lies within,” reads the Michelin review for The Olde Glen Bar.
“The bar is always filled with locals, and the large dining room plays host to a set menu which boasts plenty of fish and shellfish from nearby shores, including local oysters and house-smoked salmon; while the fermented potato bread gets things off to a great start. There are cosy bedrooms available too.”
Meanwhile Michelin say of The Lemon Tree that “…you’ll certainly leave this established, family-run restaurant with a smile on your face.”
“A brother, sisters and cousins all work together to deliver surprisingly modern dishes which draw from Donegal’s natural larder. The salted caramel tart is a must.”
