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!

The lunch sushi have to be one of the best i've ever had in the UK. One of my friends who had seafood for the first time fell in love with their food. Every dish was perfect with sufficient portion sizes. Its a must visit for people travelling through Derry😍😍😍

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

Amazing experience definitely recommend

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.

Emmett served us all night first time here and thanks to his hospitality we will be back ❤️
