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)

Beautiful Dining experience great food excellent service and friendly staff we both really enjoyed the whole experience and will definitely be back

Best lunch place in Derry! We loved it so much we went twice in a week on our holiday. The staff are lovely, and their sandwiches are delicious. They come in three different sizes and we had the two vegan options (Asian & Eastern). Both well worth the visit! Lots to do in the area too (I recommend St Eugene's Cathedral, Yellow Yard, Siege Museum, walking the walls and Gateway Shop.

Cozy place to grab a bite. Chill place to eat. I got a little bit of a portland vibe from the place.

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.

We were recommended as we were passing through Derry for good food to stop here and glad we did within minutes of opening it was busy and no surprise food was great and served quickly and was tasty. Great friendly staff and bar.

We had a very nice meal at the Shipquay restaurant. Main courses were nice. I had monkfish with seafood fritters, spinach potatoes and a creamy sauce which was very good. My wife had hake which she enjoyed. Dessert was a pavlova with mixed berries and white chocolate, very good. Only slight downside was the speed of the service which we felt was a bit slow, others might not have a problem with this.

Good pub with good atmosphere. The waiter is friendly.

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.

Food mediocre for me - massive portions as per the standard Northern Ireland way. Veggie stir fry bit bland , rice bit basic. Aunt said her baked potato was a bit meh. Service good nice and tidy

Visited on a Sunday recently. Dont let the door fool you: the experience starts in the carpark because the aroma of the homemade pizza sauce et all will greet you before the amazing staff. Had the table booked because I'm not an idiot and we found our booth spaceous and bright. I'll try be concise: this was the most satisfying meal I've had this year so far. I opted for a chilli honey flatbreak and the burrata and friend (and son) went for two pizzas (one no cheese) and we barely spoke. The flavours, size and presentation all en pointe (yes i spelt it correctly) . Their decaf coffee is fantastic and their supplying of New Kid coffee is taken very seriously, as my tastebuds can attest to. The place is full of heart, the kindest lady on the floor is the owner & the man at the oven is her visionary husband. Chefs working hard; look up and smile at you. Read that line again! Unheard of. I dont know where the name Scarpello originates, but it has arrived in Derry with a reputation for excellence, flavour & consistent high standard. The only thing better than this meal was the consequential nap I took afterwards. Thanks Scarpello. See ye soon x

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

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.
