The best restaurants serving Irish food in Northern Ireland

Cuando entramos, tenía un ambiente encantador y bullicioso y era encantador de ver. La camarera fue directo con menús y nos preguntó si queríamos una bebida. Después de un par de minutos, pedimos comida y llegó muy pronto. Estaba absolutamente delicioso. Perfecto. Recomendaría encarecidamente este hermoso café en el corazón de Belmont Road.

Saw the menus on their website & saw the pictures that they had posted & thought that this restaurant looked like the kind of place we would enjoy. What a disappointment! The menu was not what they advertised on their website, when we questioned the waiter about the menu he said that they hadn’t used that one for about 2 months. The presentation of our meals was most definitely not similar to the pictures on the website, the leeks must’ve flown over the leek & potato soup, would not recommend & we were very sorry we had taken our friends there & would most definitely not be back!!

Larkins have a wonderful welcoming team of staff who go above and beyond for their customers.

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

Times have changed since management changed the table settings like a school trip for 50/60th birthday surprize meal parties. Not spread out enough take ages to take menu hour kids served 1st starters then main adults wait hour half main meals come kids running looze angered bar staff & other packed bar guests for start week only June not xmas to be packed noisy setting 25 odd up in bunker 43 area one long table not spead out & now charging for jug of juice used not be former friendly man. Staff anxious looks at others unknowing thinking when take menu last guest late arriving not well organised cake to last never got chance speak give birthday gifts at packed table ltd space. Cake it or leave it bunker

We had a fantastic roast beef dinner here, with Yorkies and will definitely be back. Wonderful service in a privileged setting

Our first time here, and we were very impressed. Menu is varied and interesting. Mixture of small plates and mains. Staff particularly good. Will be back for sure as eveything tasted great.

Had a fab meal at the Clayton Hotel tonight. Lovely menu, really nice feel about the place, didn't feel like you were in Belfast in a good way - plenty of space between tables and a lovely atmosphere where you didn't have to shout to have a conversation! Food was delicious and service was great too. Will definitely return and would 100% recommend.

I visited the cafe carnfunnock and had some really tasty food and a coffee. Was really impressed by the standard of coffee and service by Niamh, very friendly and made a top class cappacino. Will be back very soon.

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

Stopped for supper. Got a steak burger with fried onions and ketchup. Tasty and sweet. Nice large thin meat patty. I had also a single battered sausage which is cut in two before frying. A good free scoop of chips garnish. Very tasty and recommended. Fair prices. Clean and friendly owner and staff.

Stopped here for lunch today. Beautiful afternoon, great place, amazing food and friendly service. Thank you very much, team!

Lovely bar with a good atmosphere and a simply menu to get excellent food. The cocktails are fantastic.

Myself and my family had a beautiful meal in the Greenvale hotel yesterday evening , we will most definitely be back & this is going to be our new place from now on. Food was 10/10 the best fillet steak I’ve had in a long time , everyone else loved theirs too.. staff were very polite and you could eat your dinner off the floor in the toilets they were that clean. Keep up the great service Greenvale. Will DEFINITELY be back soon. 10/10

Not one for writing bad reviews but feel the need to on this occasion, wouldn't want anybody else to waste their money like we did. Service was terrible from we got there, staff don't seem to know whether they are coming or going. Food was either undercooked or overcooked. Nearly seems like a restaurant you would see on Ramseys kitchen nightmares. Would not recommend to anyone.
