An Bonnan Bui - Restaurant - Rathmullan - Donegal

Once there was a bird, the Yellow Bittern, which lived in Ireland. Sadly, the Yellow Bittern is now extinct in our country. The name of the restaurant is inspired by the old Gaelic poem written by Cathal Bhuide Mac Giolla Gunna called An bonnán buí and Yellow Bittern.
An Bonnan Bui - Restaurant - Rathmullan - Donegal
In 1993, Martin Kelly and his Brazilian wife Monica Santos brought the bittern back to life, by opening their marvellous restaurant An Bonnán Buí. Since the beginning, the restaurant has been offering great food in a relaxed atmosphere, bringing the customers back year after year.

Our food is prepared in the restaurant daily using only the freshest products. The result leaves a menu which caters for most food tastes. Vegan, vegetarian and celiac diets are easily accommodated with even, our now famous,  very good (celiac) chocolate cake on offer for a delicious finale.

As we are located on the shores of Lough Swilly, an excellent selection of local seafood is always on offer. Fresh fish, for example squid, langoustines, brill, halibut, hake, cod, red gurnard, monkfish are bought of the pier at Green castle, fresh of the fishing boats, in the far north of Inishowen peninsula weekly.

Why not drop in to try our Brazilian dishes of moqueca de frutos do mar (prawns, squid, hake and mussels and more...), bolinho de bacalhau, kibbeh, or mandioca frita with fried beef while drinking a great wine. For the non- Irish wishing for traditional dishes there are many, Kettyle Irish organic chicken supreme with a creamed cauliflower puree, pan-fried Silver Hill duck breast with cardomon cream and orange, or our roasted rack of Pat Patton's lamb or locally caught Mulroy bay scallops (collected in the morning and served that day) pan-seared with coriander, garlic and chilli and more....

Our daily baked homemade foccacia bread is a treat and our own very tasty house salad dressing can now be bought in the restaurant. Whenever you call, the food will always delight, local or tourist alike.
