We had a fantastic dining experience at Banks Restaurant in Strabane. The seafood chowder was rich and flavorful, the dry-aged steak was cooked to perfection, and the affogato dessert was a delightful finish. The service was outstanding, with attentive and friendly staff making the lunch truly special. Highly recommended!

We've been here twice for lunch. There is handy parking at the door and across the street. Meet-and-greet is excellent, as is the service. This was the first time we have been asked about allergies..... anywhere we've dined in the world! The decor is lovely, and the kitchen on view.... there's aircon too, and very welcome on what was a muggy afternoon. The food is excellent, and no more expensive than other places. It takes some time to arrive - no pinging microwave to be heard! We highly recommend The Banks.

Why only 31 reviews for such a popular venue?? Unfortunately I cannot add the date if my attendance at the Banks Restaurant.

I dined here finally today. It’s been on my bucket list for sure. Myself and the other half are quite picky I’ll admit to that and have eaten in many fine places. It’s only 30 or so minutes drive from home so great location! From booking to arriving it was so swift, professional and just a good vibe. The chap who greeted us was super warm and friendly and boy he makes a mean cocktail! The staff amazing, decor very subtle but classy, menu first class! The place was buzzing! Had the soup and turkey then the brownie with a bramble cocktail best I’ve had and better then some 5* places I’ve been. Food was second to none! Amazing! I don’t do desert but had to try! The Long Island iced tea topped off what we’d both said was 10/10 other places in NI and beyond take note… bravo guys! We will be back!

First rate food and service, went on the off chance of a table at lunchtime and happily got one. Ordered soup and the steak sandwich. The soup is one of the best I’ve eaten. Go here for the soup as a minimum. It was luxurious hearty, slightly sweet but with a tang , well balanced and served with a delicious bread and butter. The steak sandwich was excellent, tender, on a lovely sourdough slice and a pomegranate side salad . Service was excellent.

Really impressed. Just had lunch. I liked the specialty menu, which focuses on salad bowls but like no other. Crispy kale on charred chicken and multiple fresh ingredients make for a very tasty lunch. I will be back for sure, to try the rest. There is also a normal lunch menu, with burgers and fish etc which looks very nice and well presented also. Nice staff, nice surroundings well decorated and sufficiently comfortable

This restaurant impressed experienced diners out who are picky with their praise. I guess it might impress even Jay Rayner (Restaurant Critic, The Observer).

My Husband and I went to the Banks last night on the recommendation of a work colleague. And I must say we are glad we did. First impressions were of a very popular restaurant and was very busy but not overcrowded. Firstly the staff, outstanding, attentive and friendly. Food was absolutely amazing we could not fault it in anyway. The seafood chowder was the best I’ve ever tasted. My husband had the venison, and he’s fussy about his food and he didn’t want it to end. Great value for money as well. Won’t hesitate in going back, and genuinely looking forward to another night in this great restaurant.

Ate here Monday 25th September and had another fantastic experience. It was quiet but it was a Monday evening but still a lovely buzz about the place. The staff were all excellent so attentive and nothing was a bother. We had excellent mains of cod and monkfish in a delicious lemon and broccoli sauce and the burger which was equally delicious. Sides of buttery mash and chips were perfect. Desserts of treacle tart with Guinness ice-cream finished off a perfect meal. Compliments to the chefs who served up fantastic food that evening. Every time we eat here the food is exceptional and the service equally good. Looking forward to our next visit and would highly recommend. Thank you

Our first visit to 'The Banks' after a recommendation from a friend. Three of us visited. The decor and ambiance are lovely. I've never commented on the chairs in a restaurant before - they were really comfy. Food was really good, nice presentation. Set price for 2 or 3 courses. However the greatest asset to this restaurant must be the staff. Welcoming on our arrival, friendly, chatty and attentive. They carried out their jobs enthuastically and with a friendly smile. Would deliberately visit again and recommend to friends.

Visited for a family meal. Staff were organized and attentive and service generally excellent. Food was outstanding…. Only recommendation would be more vegetarian options. Wait time bw courses was reasonable. Overall, a wonderful experience and addition to a Strabane!

Ate here recently with my husband and we had a fantastic meal. The service was top notch with all of the staff knowledgeable and very helpful. We had the goats cheese salad as a main which was excellent one of the best I have ever had and my husband had the burger equally delicious. We had the special dessert which was excellent. Everything about the visit was great and can't wait to return. Thanks to everyone
