Brown's & Browns In Town
 Michelin Recommended. Fine dining menus and numerous award wins , Browns is renowned for its sumptuous food and impeccable service. With the original restaurant ‘Browns Bonds Hill’ just a short walk over the peace bridge to the East Bank of the River Foyle and their additional restaurant ‘Browns In Town’ in the heart of the city centre on the cityside this is certainly one not to be missed!
Browns Bonds Hill, 1 Bonds Hill, Derry ~ Londonderry, BT47 6DWÂ
Brown’s In Town, 21 Strand Road, Derry ~ Londonderry, BT48 7DJ
Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Browns at Bonds Hill. The food was excellent and the chef was able to adapt the menu to accommodate my husbandâs food intolerances eg gluten and dairy free. The service was efficient and friendly. A visit to Browns is most definitely a first class culinary experience

Walled City Brewery
A gastropub and taproom based in the heart of the city in Ebrington Square with a delicious menu and a range of one of a kind craft beers. The Walled City Brewery have previously won the title of “Best GastroPub in Ireland”. In 2022, they expanded their restaurant to open a new Taproom experience – following your meal in the restaurant you can venture into the Taproom and sample some craft beer brewed on site – or even try their signature Gin – Earhart Gin – named after one of the world’s most famous female aviators Amelia Earhart who landed in our city in 1932.
Personal Recommendation from Charlene McCrossan – a pint of Kicks Lager – named after the Undertones hit ‘Teenage Kicks’
Delicious innovative flavours. Sea bass with fried capers and spicy sauce. Amazing starter of fish cake with big chunks of salmon and cod. A real gourmet delight in a nice relaxed setting. Excellent and friendly service.
