Pier 59 on the Strand
Super seafood and wonderful wine are the two big stars of this restaurant. They make sure that only the freshest local fish and shellfish are served, so what’s on the menu will vary according to the season. Pier to Plate is their motto.
Head Chef Stephen Forbes has an amazing skill for creating new dishes and for cooking the fish to perfection. You might get a Thai Hot and Sour Seafood Broth or Goan Fish Curry. Classic Foyle Oysters on the half-shell and their Hot and Cold Seafood Platters are huge sellers. Those Seafood Platters come in three different sizes which include Salt and Chilli Squid, Mussels, Cockels, Tempura of Hake, Langoustines and Scallops. The large platter includes all of the fish they have available- it’s huge!
They do have meat, chicken, vegetarian and vegan dishes if fish is not your thing. They source as much local produce as possible. The fish is from Greencastle, they have Donnybrewer butter and the vegetables and fruit are from White Oaks.
Owner Una Kincaid says the aim is to provide a relaxed dining experience, with excellent service, delicious food and attention to detail. They’ve obviously nailed that. They recently won the Customer Service Excellence Award from the Derry-Londonderry Chamber of Commerce and were runners up in the Newcomer of the Year category at the Licensed and Catering Awards.
