The best restaurants serving Irish food in The Diamond 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 .

3 stars purely on the basis of how friendly & helpful the staff are. Was a regular here every 4-6 weeks from opening till late 2022. Food was always exceptional on each visit. Revisited last night with family & was so disappointed. Squid starter was inedible & the sauce accompanying it was clearly not made in the kitchen, the roast chicken was a pan-fried piece of fillet & as for sides - frozen chips are in my opinion a cardinal sin in hospitality establishments in Ireland! Such a shame given the previously consistent high quality. Sad to say as locals we definitely won’t be returning.

Can't fault this place. Walked in on a busy Saturday afternoon and managed to grab a table straight away. Super attentive and friendly staff. Mix of drinkers and eaters but friendly atmosphere throughout. Will definitely return!

Delicious food and lovely friendly staff. My Friday lunch treat! The banana milkshake is heavenly 💗

This is our 2nd stay in the Shipquay Hotel. The previous stay was February 2020. Thankfully our 2nd stay didn't disappoint us. An amazing staff team, working throughout the hotel. Hopefully it won't be too long until we return again.

Very popular lunch venue. Very reasonably priced lunches and a good choice. Friendly quick service. Located by the city old walls

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.

Friendly, staff are attentive live music and activities

Lovely venue. However, when bringing an event here, I was originally supposed to pay a deposit. This then turned out to be a rental fee. After bringing business to the bar, I felt I was ripped off. Very disappointing.

Called in tonight and availed of the steak deal and what an amazing price. The meal was one of the best that I had in a very long time. The presentation and taste was amazing. We will definitely be returning to Soda and Starch.

Excellent food and very good service. They have a wide variety of options and the ambiance was super friendly and lively.

Picture this: I just devoured a delicious pepperoni pizza, and let me tell you, it was a slice of perfection! The gooey cheese, the zesty tomato sauce, and the savory pepperoni all came together in a mouthwatering medley of flavors. The crust was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just the way I like it. Each bite was a burst of cheesy, pepperoni goodness that left me craving more. If you're a pizza lover, this one is definitely a winner!
