Nancy’s Barn in Ballyliffin, Co. Donegal, is a much-loved café and restaurant run by local chef Kieran “Duey” Doherty, best known for his award-winning seafood chowder. Set in a beautifully restored old barn, this cosy and welcoming spot became a global name after winning Ireland’s Best Chowder in 2016 and then being crowned World Seafood Chowder Champion in Rhode Island, USA, in 2017. Duey’s chowder, with its unique Spanish twist, is gluten-free, hearty, and packed with flavour – a must-try for any visitor. The menu at Nancy’s Barn is wide and varied, offering everything from fresh seafood, gourmet sandwiches, and homemade soups to hearty salads, vegetarian and vegan dishes, and delicious home baking.
