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 .

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

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!)

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.

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!
