LegenDerry Food Guide
Welcome to the LegenDerry Food Guide.
Today Derry boasts one of the finest eating scenes in Ireland. Well, after all, it’s only natural. Just think of the achingly beautiful landscape that surrounds us. These rich pasture lands and meadows feed the world’s luckiest dairy cattle and some of its finest beef herds.
But that is just the start of the story. Our loughs, rivers and coastal waters teem with an abundance of wonderful fish and seafood, such as our Atlantic salmon, among the largest in Western Europe. Lough Foyle nurtures a bounty of slow growing wild mussels and oysters, for local tables and the discerning restaurants of France and further afield. The sea lough, flushed twice a day by the Atlantic, and receiving torrents of fresh water from the mountains of Donegal and the wild Sperrin hills, produces some of the world’s best shellfish. This wonderful array of fish and seafood is brought ashore at charming fishing villages just a hop and skip away from the City of Culture.
With such an abundance of world-class material, our award-winning chefs are making Derry a culinary capital. Bringing global influences to bear, they use the finest local produce to creative simply wonderful food. From sublime modern Irish cuisine at restaurants like Browns and Beech Hill Country Hotel’s Ardmore to inviting Italian, spicy Indian and mouth-watering Lebanese, your palate can taste a world of food in Derry.
You can add to that the best of café society at bustling cosmopolitan cafes and welcoming traditional coffee shops, as well as fantastic gastro fare at many atmospheric pubs and bars. And all this is served up with what Derry does naturally, the friendliest of welcomes.
Come and taste the difference in Derry.
