Donegans

Walk into Donegans and you're in the kind of place locals actually book ahead for. It's High Street comfort done seriously—the sort of restaurant that respects its ingredients without getting fancy for fancy's sake. You'll find proper steaks cooked how you ask for them, seafood that tastes like it actually came from somewhere, and traditional Irish plates that remind you why this cooking style works. The room buzzes with people who know what they're after, and the staff move with the kind of ease that comes from doing this properly night after night. It's not trying to be cool; it's just good.
