About Us
Teach Coll A Welcoming Pub In The Heart Of The Gaeltacht
“Teach Coll” is a long established family run public house located in the North West Donegal Gaeltacht townland of Magheroarty.
Magheroarty is amongst one the most scenic places on the coast line of Ireland.
The pub was established around 1900 by James Coll, the proprietors great grandfather. The name “Teach Coll” originates from this, meaning the house of Coll. The Pub is presently run by the fourth generation of the family.
The Food Locally Sourced, Freshly Made Creations
In August 2016 we re-ignited our passion for good local food after a 20 year hiatus when Edward and Billie took over management of the pub.
A new modern kitchen was built and interior revamped resulting in a cosy bar & restaurant in which the menu emphasises on Teach Coll’s proximity to the Sea & Wild Wild Atlantic Way, allowing us to take advantage of the many local Marine/Agri -Food produce & businesses.
Local Ingredients
Our dishes are created using quality ingredients. We are committed to sourcing locally and supporting small food producers wherever possible.
Delicious Food
We hope to welcome you to experience our delicious menu in a cosy welcoming enviroment.
Variety Of Drinks
In addition to the food we also have a variety of drinks to choose from, whether it be alcohol free drinks to quality wines, draught beers to local craft beers and a varied selection of spirits, There is something for everyone to accompany their meal with.
The Location Enjoy Breathtaking Views
Nestled between Mount Errigal and Bloody Foreland along the Wild Atlantic Way, Teach Coll overlooks the magnificent Magheroarty Beach, Inisboffin and Tory Island with Muckish Mountain and Horn Head in the distance.
Teach Coll is the perfect place to stop off for a relaxing drink or a bite to eat in a cosy atmosphere, whether your travelling along the Wild Atlantic Way, spending time visiting the area or you just want to get out of the house.
A warm and welcoming atmosphere is provided by the Gaelige Speaking proprietor and his family. They will be happy to teach you a “cupla focal”.
What they Say about our delicious food
We really liked all the dishes we ordered at this seaside restaurant. Great service and atmosphere. Beautiful views. Full grazing 10/10.
Lovely pub, stunning views. Incredibly friendly people. Would 100% recommend spending some evenings here!
Excellent choice on restaurant menuPerfect location . Well stocked bar and friendly staff
Such a lovely find, we had the sea trout and it was delicious. Very accommodating to the kids.
We enjoyed delicious seafood here. The staff are super helpful, however, they were run off their feet!!. Could use more staff for a smoother service.Lovely views down to the beach too.glad we stopped by 🙂
A culinary paradise in the middle of Nirvana. We are thrilled and will be happy to come back!! 👌🏻
Great food & so much of it too! Great price, kind & friendly staff 👍 couldn't ask for more!
Went for a meal with two vegetarians, well the selection was amazing, really lovely food, g
Absolutely fantastic meal. Four of us went for dinner and every dish was delicious. Great service and a cosy atmosphere with sea views. Will definitely be back.
Excellent food- the fish tacos are phenomenal- and great service. A real gem.
On a windy Sunday afternoon in January we went in search of lunch and were delighted to find this fab family run bar with amazing views in Magheroarty. 5 of us had a fab Sunday Lunch. Delicious roast beef, roast lamb, a fab Buttermilk Chicken burger and 2 coconut chickpea curries. Shared a couple of desserts and a cafetiere of fresh coffee. Fab folks. Will definitely return.
Although quiet today, this suited us fine. Definately amongst the best seafood I've had, the Scallops were large, fresh and incredibly flavoursome, the added flavour of the black Pudding shavings were so well matched to the Scallops and Bacon 11/10 for that alone. The Prawn Linguine was beautifully cooked and laden with prawns and an added gentle Chilli buzz. Perfect! Only complaint. We had no room for Dessert! Will definately come again and bring a larger appetite.
My partner Mairead and I dine at Colls regularly and it's fair to say we love the place. The food is always delicious, the service is friendly and first class and the atmosphere is relaxed. Excellent value for money. Last night I had three courses, Mairead two, and I can honestly say that each element of each course was perfect as was the combinations put together. Starter: Scallops and black pudding. Mains: Turkey and ham trad Christmas Dinner and Mairead had the Sea Bass. Deserts: Vegan chocolate tart and cinnamon apple crumble. Turkey and ham trad Christmas Dinner in no way describes the Colls rendition of this standard Christmas fare. It was exquisite. Edward Muldowney's wife is the magician in the kitchen, whilst Edward conducts everything front of house, ably assisted by Geraldine and the rest of the staff. I can't recommend this place highly enough. Try it out. Yum.Patrick Gallagher
We love Colls at Magheroarty. The bar restaurant has amazing views over the Atlantic and the food, service and atmosphere match the setting. Hard to recommend a particular dish as they are all so good. We usually choose fish dishes and last time we had prawns and sea trout which were both absolutely delicious. The Guinness is fantastic and the bar has a great wine list too. But the value!! We each had a three course and between us two Guinness and a large wine for c€70. Absolutely fantastic all round. Thanks Edward and team.
Wonderful homely restaurant and bar with 10/10 food. Visited at the weekend with a large group of family - service was superb. Each meal was prepared and served with care. Firm favourites among the group included scallops, fish tacos and seabass - a haven for seafood lovers. Staff were fantastic and added to our great evening. Without a doubt the best scallops I have ever tasted. I have yet to have a meal that is anything other than absolutely delicious in Colls. Best restaurant in Donegal! Can’t wait to return! Go raibh maith agaibh!
We had excellent fish with an amazing turmeric butter sauce. Superb flavour and cooked perfectly. We had a lovely Sauvignon Blanc to accompany it.What I would change: the starters are really large, nearly full meals in their own right. I was too full after having the vegetable soup to be able to finish the fish. I would have preferred to have a light salad of mixed greens as a choice.And I would love to see more fish dishes on offer. The night we dined there was only one fish option since I’m allergic to mollusks and crustaceans.My partner’s starter of mussels were excellent but also a very large portion.The only real negative is that the main dining room is noisy when it is crowded. Maybe installing some noise absorbers would help?Otherwise, a fantastic dining choice.
Fab for food, friendly staff. Well, it's worth a visit for Sunday lunch or anytime
Some of the best mussels I have ever tasted . Fish & chips were fabulous. Portions were big. The service was wonderful, already I am looking forward to my next visit.
food was excellent best sticky toffee pudding 🍮 I've ever eaten fish and chips were great 👍 👌 😋
We ate here a few weeks ago and it was really good. The food was delicious and the views were beautiful.
Food was top class. Eddie & the team went above and beyond for us. Service was excellent. Great selection of food and reasonable priced too. We were dining with our little girl and it was a most enjoyable experience. Would highly recommend! It’s in a beautiful location.
We called into Colls on a whim as wee were staying at the harbour. They are in the process of getting the opening hours changed so be aware they open at 4ish not 8.30 as stated on Google. Had a lovely meal and the service was excellent. The staff were very attentive. It was a busy place but everyone was looked after.
Popped along from our holiday chalet 5 mins away for a drink and evening meal at this delightful pub in Meenlaragh set just above the ferry point on the R257 with its parking area overlooking the magnificent Ballyness Bay and the Donegal archipelago.Welcomed by attentive bar staff we chose to sit inside the well appointed dining area and were given a fine pub menu including vegan/vegetarian options all of which can be helpfullyviewed online with booking option (but do check the pub opening & food serving times).We were very pleased we chose the delightfully presented sweet potato, chickpea and coconut curry with flatbread & rice followed by a mouth watering chocolate tart and raspberry sorbet, all washed down with cool lemonade and lager shandy followed by coffee with almond milk. All delicious!!A thoroughly enjoyable meal provided with excellent service at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend.
We were here recently for my brother’s 60th.(all 19 of us) Service was fantastic, very prompt and food delicious 🤤 also gave us a free shot which was very considerate. Very reasonable price.Great little place for family gathering.
Fantastic seafood, friendly staff and great atmosphere. A definite go to along the Wild Atlantic Way
5 of us had late lunch here. Everyone agreed it was delicious. We ate burgers, a steak sandwich and chicken in white wine sauce with mash, chips or sweet potato fries. Good sized portions and friendly service.
Absolutely fantastic place to eat! The food was amazing. Really friendly staff and management. It's probably the best Irish coffee you will ever have.
Great pub and restaurant. Delicious food and great service. Beautiful views and just a few minutes walk from the lovely Magheroarty beach. Check it out if in the area.
