The best restaurants serving Irish food in Derry Western NI

Out for for a walk and found this lovely diner on a weekend away from Galway. Fabulous breakfast served up at a reasonable price from very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Travelling from Canada we landed in Derry and were very hungry . Found the Broody Hen and had ourselves some lunch . It did not disappoint ! The portions were very generous , the servers attentive and loved the ambience. We liked it so much went back for the roast dinner ! Noornie was an absolute delight to speak with and we hope to be back and see her again .

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)

Can't believe how the quality of food and location has dropped. Temperature in location cold. Food uninspiring. Wouldn't recommend to anyone.

I've called here a few times recently. Only for pints of Guinness, both at quiet times. The staff have been attentive and friendly both times. The pints were great.

We came here with my family on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. We were sent to a corner table and had to wait quite some time to receive menus. There was 4 staff, chatting away, not putting their customers first. Personal hygiene was doubtful as we noticed one of the ladies was scratching her head a couple of times while handling food. Another was cleaning the coffee machine and used one cloth for all. All the while, a boy was holding 4 menu cards being confused where to bring them, while the place was empty, but tables previously occupied not cleared. After we got the menus, we were still left alone for too long, while the 4 of the staff members were chit chatting. This was not a good impression and we walked off. They still didn't seem to care. Sorry for the negative feedback, hopefully it will be seen as constructive. When you work in the service industry, serving food, hygiene and customer care comes first.

We had a beautiful meal here on Sat 21st Dec. While the staff dealt with Christmas parties they were so pleasant and attentive to everyone in the restaurant, from the larger groups to smaller parties no one was missed. The food was exceptional it was one of the best meals we had locally in the past few months. I highly recommend the Boxty it’s a treat! Will definitely be back soon

Good pub with good atmosphere. The waiter is friendly.

The food is tasty and good value but it’s really the staff that puts this place on the next level. Well done to your team, so friendly. (Dessert was tasty too!)

Possibly one of the best dining experiences we have ever had. The food was a veritable feast of deliciousness. The staff friendly, well trained and helpful. Nothing to fault at this fine dining experience.

Do yourself a favour and skip the chains for some quality home made grub. We had a fry, soup, bacon soda, fish and chips. The food was wholesome, home made, tasty and good value. As it was Christmas, they threw in some free glasses of wine. Friendly and prompt service. Definitely recommend and we'll pop in next time we are in the neighbourhood.

This is a lovely wee place, lovely staff, friendly punters, great music from local talent on Saturday evenings..definitely will be back more often

My friends and I were walking around the wall and I needed to use the lavatory. I saw the Anchor Bar so one of my friends and I stopped in. While she used the facilities, I ordered us 2 half pints. The lady tending bar was super friendly as were the folks sitting at the bar. We ended up sitting down and talking to some folks at the next table. We then texted our friends to come join us. We ended up staying for 2 or 3 rounds. The bartender came over and took a few photos for us. We had a great time there. The vibe of the place was just so laid back and friendly. We all loved it. We didn't eat so I don't even know if they offer food.

Beautiful food and such friendly staff Joanne was our server a lovely girl

Had takeaway sunday lunch from here today, thoroughly enjoyed every bite, recommended by johanna, thanks.
