The best restaurants in Strand Derry Western NI

The best sandwich in Derry. The doorstep sandwich is a meal in itself. My wife and I had the chicken, cheese, creamy pepper and carmelised onion. We both loved it. The latte and americano were perfect. The staff were friendly, bubbly and perfect hosts. It was a perfect experience from start to finish and looking forward to our next visit very soon no doubt.

We went for a weekend away to the city & were so well received by Liam, Marty & the rest of the staff of Odies. Class service, got a free taster of their own craft beer & a complimentary shot as well. Food was really good - the chef even shared a secret recipe. They were all so personal & lovely, which made us realise this is why we missed going out for a meal so much. They did everything for us to be able to get a taxi etc. Supporting small & local always pays off! Definitely worth a visit!

Punto de craqueo para el desayuno. Un ambiente acogedor, asientos cómodos y posiblemente uno de los mejores lugares de Derry para sentarse. Vine aquí para desayunar y tomar un café después del gimnasio y nada mejoró mi día. . . ¡Sigan haciendo lo que ustedes están haciendo! ! (Gachas O panqueques son mi ir también)

Tidy spot , ques a bit mad though couldn't do it on the regular.

Super tasty food you can enjoy while seated in a quirky old bus overlooking the moored boats. Friendly staff and an overall nice atmosphere. While a bit pricey, I'd recommend upgrading the fries!

While great food and the staff are lovely Will be recommending and returning

Great live Irish music helpful staff and a warm, friendly environment as meeting other countries enjoying a Gunness

Fantastic cafe. Friendly staff and authentic coffee. Lovely scones and Bakewell tart

Perfect dinner spot for our first night in Derry. We tried the pizza, and it was delicious. The service was outstanding, and the environment was very inviting. The women's restroom was maintained clean and has a changing table for those who have a baby.

Three of us had a really super meal here tonight. The food is so well flavoured, cooked freshly and thoroughly enjoyable. The desserts (also made on the premises) were beautiful. All members of staff that we interacted with were helpful and very friendly. The restaurant itself was buzzing, great atmosphere. Look forward to coming back

This looks lovely and has a nice vibe. The food however was disappointing. The full breakfast consisted of reheated, shrivelled meat. The pancakes were dry and cold and burnt. The coffee was decent but generally we were very disappointed, waste of money I’m afraid.

Great place, excellent staff and food, easy parking, will be back, Edit 2025, overpriced, don't trust the menu prices as they don't get updated, 40 quid plus for 2 mains and water is starting to get into the top end, staff are great though so don't blame them.

We visited this restaurant with a group of friends to catch up, but unfortunately, we felt rushed throughout our experience. Upon arrival, a front-of-house staff member quickly directed us to sit by the bar, which was fine, though it was crowded and there were no available seats. Once at our table, we were promptly asked for our drink and food orders. While the starters and mains were delicious, I was disappointed by how my dinner was served — it was essentially thrown and slid across the table. I also didn’t appreciate how quickly the plates were cleared after we finished. Afterward, we weren't offered dessert or additional drinks. When we went to pay, we were instructed to head downstairs, which was fine, but the payment area was awkwardly positioned near the door and the busy kitchen. Based on this experience, I’d be hesitant to return.

As we were staying down the road we thought we would check out the local pubs the Rocking chair seemed to be for locals but they were ever so friendly,a nice pint of lager at a cheaper price than other bars.We will be back.
