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 .

Always a handy go-to when in Derry. Excellent vegan options and good value for money too. Really good service this weekend & tasty food!

This was my first meal in Derry and it did not disappoint! I was seated shortly after 5pm at a window table, so I got to watch the bustle of Derry Halloween festivities while enjoying an espresso martini and their vegan lentil cottage pie (salad side). Price point was good. Service was friendly and efficient (even as the place was filling with costumed ghouls and goblins). Will definitely tell others to check it out!

Cracking service and lovely food served up in a great location. Take a look at the old photos on the walls - some fabulous characters pictured.

Supposed to be a special birthday dinner. Firstly an inexperienced waitress spilled red wine all over my niece. She didn't even have the grace to apologize. The food was hit and miss...some good some not so. If you have any dietary requirements I would beware as we were lied to by the kitchen. All in all an overpriced and very unsatisfactory experience

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

Wonderful little gem .. had a beautiful lunch with the grandkids ..was served by a lovely blonde woman with glasses.. and hairband ...so friendly...The service was great ..the food was great ...and we ll will be back and recommending to our friends and family. ..

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.

WAS AND I SAY WAS brilliant bar...New bar staff are dismissive, ride and arrogant. Not wanting to help or explain cocktail menu. About 8 months ago brilliant attentive bar staff. Now, too focused on selfless, how the9y look and ONLY SERVING UNDER 22S...forget quality of service if your over 35 your told I DONT MAKE THE MENU JUST READ IT. Disgusted as I used to be a regular.

We have eaten a munes in this picturesque and unique place. Good and fast service. They had a menu for 10 and a half pounds with several options of the dishes they have on the menu. The portions were generous and we were more than satisfied. I think we'll come back for dinner too.

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!
