Artis Restaurant By Phelim O' Hagan in Derry

Quiet atmosphere, stunning food

Very nice and quiet restaurant. The food very well presented and of quality. Very much like the Michelin guide.

Fabulous meal at Artis last night. We went early evening (5pm) and had the set menu which was £38 for three courses. The food looked exquisite and tasted delicious. Last time I had a meal as good as this at this price/value the place later achieved a Michelin ⭐️I was surprised that there weren’t any veggie/vegan options on the set menu but I guess they might have adjusted for veggie if we had asked. NB 5.30 onwards would be a good time to go if you are in a car as there is free on street parking for an hour and the restrictions end at 6.30

We visited Artis in June and had the 7 Course tasting menu with wine pairing. Phelim and his team have put together a fantastic experience of food and drinks that starts from the moment you walk in the door. They have attentive staff, Serina offers great knowledge of her wine pairings for the meal and the food is fantastic. This is the best restaurant in the North West of Ireland and we can't wait to visit again

A lovely evening, special shout out to jaime who looked after us so well. She was so friendly, professional and polite a real credit to the team. Food was nice as well 👏

Excellent lunch in a lovely restaurant. The restaurant was very quiet but the food was delicious. Prices for the set lunch are very reasonable. Would definitely go back again and try the dinner menu. I would recommend this restaurant.

Artis is simply one of the best fine dining experiences in the Maiden City and definitely worth the visit. As this was not our first visit, we knew what to expect. The food is sublime. Highlights from our latest visit were the Portavogie Scallop, jalapeño spicy potato hash and the beef striploin. Each dish was cooked with delicate precision and delightfully tasty. The soufflé is also one not to miss. Always highly recommended.

We visited Artis last night and had the most stunning food. From the warm welcome to the relaxed atmosphere to the knowledgeable staff, the whole experience was amazing. The food was interesting and outstanding with each course bringing delightful surprises. We'll definitely return to Artis.

Great night for a evening of food. Timing of each setting was great allowing time for chat and digestion awaiting the next course. Service was great and had a good knowledge of ingredients in each dish.

Great experience. Enjoyed the simple setting/interior design of the place. Food good, next time will do the tasting when we have more time. As an exceptional note for the Tartare starter, it was superbly presented. See picture.

Tasting menu was excellent plus attentive service.

A wonderful service, staff friendly and knowledgeable. Our meal was delicious, definitely 5 stars. Would highly recommend and won't be long until we return ❤️

Went for lunch with super high expectations after reading lots of reviews, and the food absolutely didn’t disappoint. Excellent menu, great presentation and clearly made with lots of delicious local ingredients. The only slight negative about our experience was that the service was a little lacking. The staff servicing us were lovely, but lots of little details means it didn’t quite add up to the experience we were hoping for. Will still be back for sure, but hopefully next time the overall experience will match the amazing food.

Been living in Ireland now 6 years, of all the restaurants we’ve been to - from Dingle to Belfast, from Galway to Dublin - this was hands down the best foodie experience we’ve had so far. Tasting menu of 8 courses with paired wines was just superb! 👏🏼👌🏼

Simply fantastic food. Absolutely one of the best tasting menus we have ever had. Stunning food, every course better than the last….try it you won’t be disappointed.

Brilliant lunch here. Impeccable service.

We dined as a couple for a special Anniversary treat on 23rd Nov. We'd been meaning to try out Artis for quite a while and heard great reports. We were not disappointed! We opted for the 7 Course Tasting Menu and booked this in advance online. Upon arrival we were greeted by a very welcoming, very well presented young lady called Emilie. She introduced herself as our server for the evening which we thought was a lovely personal touch. We were shown our table and everything was explained to us very well. The setting, decor and furnishings are perfect. Such a lovely environment. We immediately felt this was going to be a special experience. As the courses arrived we both smiled from ear to ear. Absolutely beautiful presentation & attention to detail. Everything tasted fabulous. Clearly an extremely passionate Chef and a team that care tremendously about what leaves their kitchen. My pictures should do the talking. On our next visit I imagine we'll pair in the Wine Tasting as the couple beside us opted for this and it seemed to enhance their experience even further with every wine explained in detail as it's poured to match each course. We can't wait to go back. And Emilie definitely deserves massive praise on her customer service and professionalism throughout, it really didn't go unnoticed. Obviously well trained - she's a credit to the place. Thank you!!

The food and service was excellent. We will certainly be back.

Homely atmosphere , attentive and warm service . Food outstanding . Best restaurant in the North West

Incredible experience all round! Definitely worth visiting

Second visit to Artis and once again beyond amazing and given the quality, very reasonable. Can't recommend Artris enough and flawless service from Emily and Sandra

Had and lovely evening,staff where amazing very attentive. Food excellent

Cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Situated in the heart of the city in the picturesque craft village, this Michelin star guide establishment has a lot to offer. Order the tasting menu and complimenting wine you will not be disappointed! The lady in front of house is very informative about each dish and each wine.

Starter menu was excellent. Best food i ever ate. All dishes were delicious. Great experience. Highly recommend all the dishes. It took about 5 hours to get through the 7+ dishes.

We were in Derry for a day trip with my husband and came across Artis by a happy accident, just when we thought we might not have a nice meal that day. We didn't have a reservation, but they managed to get us in for 3 course lunch menu. Everything was absolutely fantastic and we really enjoyed every single bit. This was the best part from our wedding anniversary celebration. Big thank you to Dean and the girl (I don't remember the name) that were there-what an amazing service you provide. We will be definitely back, next time for full tasting menu!

Always top service and quality food

OK folks. Get yer swanky pants on. Yes, this is expensive for sure... But... Sweet holy mother of divinity. We had the tasting menu (we opted out of the complimentary wine and got a stellar primitivo instead.. er... Two actually) and it was spectacular. Polite and friendly staff that weren't overbearing. The table was ours for the evening in a comfortable, beautifully lit restaurant in the heart of Derry City. Bravo folks, amazing.

We had a great meal the food was delicious with good portion size. There was a lovely warm atmosphere and brilliant service in this friendly restaurant would certainly recommend to family and friends

I just had dinner at Artis and selected their 7-course tasting menu. All dishes that were served had a nice presentation and tasted great. I didn't go for the wine pairing option, and instead picked a bottle of wine; even though the wine list is not too extensive, it had a few interesting wines to pick from. The whole experience lasted about 3 and a half hours. The waiters were very friendly and knowledgeable about the food being served.

Four of us went here for a birthday. From the warm welcome as soon as you enter to the exceptional food, Artis cannot be beaten. We had the a la carte menu as some of the party are picky eaters. Every single item was mouth watering and the little extras like the rolls and amuse-bouche were the icing on the cake. I think it's excellent value for money and a great showcase for our local producers. My only complaint is that I didn't have room for dessert but that's the perfect excuse to return soon :-).

Food and service were brilliant, Dean and Serena were so lovely and accommodating. Great value for money and an even better wine list. Thanks for a lovely lunch. Recommend the Oxtail main, sensational.

Fantastic food! We ordered from the lunch menu, everything was cooked perfectly with beautiful flavours, perfectly sized portions. Already looking forward to returning

Our evening spent in Artis was an exceptional culinary experience, in a relaxing atmosphere, with attentive & welcoming staff. The presentation & flavours of each dish were fantastic, with a varied menu to suit all tastes. I would highly recommend a visit to Artis.

We went for the tasting menu and everything was just so very delicious. It took about 3 hours so was very relaxed. There is also a wine pairing option, but we did not go for that. The staff are very knowledgeable, friendly and provided excellent service.

Amazing food and service, I can not wait to go back.

An absolute must for the fine diner.

Had a great family meal for Christmas this afternoon. Decided to go with the meat option as the fish was hidden from me when we got there. Ended up, after some lovely mid-meal acrobatic adventures, eating some chips and some nice sauce before giving it up as something better for younger customers! Will be back next time we're in town!

We had a fantastic experience at Artis. The food , the wine pairing, the staff and the ambience were all excellent. The sommelier was so knowledgeable and helpful explaining all the different wines. The food was absolutely gorgeous, the tasting menu is indeed a real treat. I would highly recommend this beautiful restaurant right in the centre of the craft village

Great night highly recommend Great food friendly staff

Fantastic Food, service and atmosphere

Food was amazing, staff were amazing, atmosphere was amazing. I can literally find no fault with our experience. Can't wait to go back.

Absolutely amazing. We ordered the tasting menu and the variety and quality of the dishes was outstanding. The staff are fantastic and help make it one of the best dining experience we've had in long time. Would highly recommend

Amazing meal, every course was delicious and better than any meal we've had before in Derry. Would highly recommend and can't wait to go back! Well done to Phelim and his staff. The service was ten out of ten. Thank you for a lovely evening

Absolutely 1st class experience .Would highly recommend it from the staff to the food and wine it was faultless .

Went for my wedding anniversary. We both had the taster menu and was blown away. The food was astonishing, my favourite was the hake and also the raspberry sorbet. Best food I have ever tasted. Staff were excellent.

One of the best restaurants in Derry. We enjoyed the tasting menu, all of which was delicious and cooked to perfection. The staff were very attentive, explaining each dish and happy to recommend drinks. This is certainly a must visit!

This place is amazing. I'd read the reviews and was expecting great things but the tasting menu with drinks pairings was peerless. Treat yourself.

What a brilliant experience. Great food and very attentive service. Each dish was described and explained by the waiting staff and the individual flavours were awesome. 100% for food, 100% for service.

Had dinner here with some friends recently and were absolutely delighted with the food. Nice atmosphere and staff were great. Really top notch evening. Will be back

Unique and excellent for a special occasion. Great for coeliac. Fine dining. Quite expensive

Best restaurant experience to open in Derry for a long long time. Top class service from all the staff who interacted with us on our visit here which made for a warm and friendly atmosphere special thanks to Kevin in particular. The food was on another level from everywhere else in the city. We ate from the a la carte menu each course was served perfectly and will definitely be back for the tasting menu. 10/10 Stand out dish for me was the rack of stuffed lamb. Melt in the mouth was so soft and juicy stunning !

What a fantastic treat! We were impressed on returning to Derry after many years away with how the city has changed. Artis had been booked in advance. A 6.30pm booking allowed us to spend the entire evening with perfectly timed service of the tasting menu. We were reassured and I'm glad we followed the advice warmly given to go with that menu option and try the dessert. Each course was delicious, memorable and on par with the many fine restaurants that we have been fortunate to dine at across the world. I was so proud to see such quality food and wonderfully warm and welcoming front of house service in Derry. Their success at Artis is richly deserved! Keep up the great work.

Had the taster menu really disappointing and wine matching a disaster. Really wanted this to be good but way overpriced and quality not good. Abysmal customer service as no recognition of dissatisfaction through the bill will not go back. marie

We were back in Artis on Friday evening and, as before, the food was fabulous. The Côte de Boeuf with salsa verde and oxtail pithivier was delicious, as was the Durrus tart to start. Fine dining at its best! Thank you to Serena and Dean for their attentiveness. See you soon.

Food was excellent, as was the service. The soufflé was perfection! Photos don’t do the food justice!

After seeing and hearing so much about the artis It was about time I came over to the restaurant, both me and my mum where greated by very pleasant front of house lady who brought us to our seat , very warm and friendly atmosphere in the restaurant . Amusbouche was great and the bread a delight with the home-made whipped butter. We ordered the mushrooms risotto and mallard to start both exceptional , then the mains pheasant and John dory wow what a treat the pheasant with the side dish lentils and confit meat was a nice touch and the plating and attention to detail top class. Exceptional food , great variety on the menu , with very attentive front of house staff who explained each dish exceptional well which is a credit to the buisness. Will definitely recommend to a friend ⭐

I came with my daughter Erin for the tasting menu. From the moment we walked in, Lisa Serena and Kevin were just the most amazing staff, informative, attentive warm and making us feel completely at home. This is fine dining with down to earth service. Staff who really make you feel at home. I lived in London and a foodie, and fortunate to have eaten at Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay. This food is on that par without the vast price rag. Go! The food is absolutely amazing, we loved the whole experience 😍

Loved this restaurant.,from the ambience and attention to detail. The staff were amazing ! Food in my opinion was the equivalent 1 star Michelin. Good luck in your Journey to amazing food!!

We enjoyed an absolutely Delicious meal here. The staff were a delight and the food was beautifully presented. We will definitely be back soon 💕

Wonderful restaurant. The food was outstanding. Staff attentive without being overbearing. Ambiance spot on. Highly recommend.

Congratulations Artis. What a fabulous eating experience last night. The food was outstanding and presentation was beautiful. Attentive staff, beautiful decor and a very enjoyable night. Thankyou.

Couldn't wait to get in and try the food from Phelim and honestly it didn't disappoint. It was so good on my first visit I've been 3 times since. The staff are perfect, they can't do enough for you. The experience here is worth booking in advance for and I expect I'll be a customer for a long time to come.
