Post-club grub, lunchtime pit-stops, morning-after nosh or just plain old dinner - we've got it all in our unique guide to eating out in Derry - written by hungry Derry folk!


The Ballymac Fryer
Situated in ghetto of Derry but well worth the risk. Good entertainment provided by the local youths of the area as they regularly put on a good motor show followed by late night hammer throwing. But back to the food which is very cheap and cheerful: 3 sausages, 2 bags of chips, curry and a litre bottle of coke for 99p

If you're lookin for a top class feed ye can't look further than a chicken box from Busty's in Galliagh. Bear in mind it's a local shop for local people but if you turn up in a stolen car with a Kappa tracksuit on you'll fit right in.

On yer way from town de Prehen the last chippy (beside the bridge) sells scotchers. These are the only good scotchers in Derry, and ye can buy them by the dozen. Buy three if ye are walking, and ye should be jist finishing by the time ye git de Prehen.(10 mins). All because the ladies love scotch eggs.

Mc Ginley's on the Buncrana road will throw u up a good Irish fry on a Sunday and Saturday moring.

Lavs
Frankie Ramseys is the place to go.There'll be plenty of frys around on the Sunday morning.

Derry has some nice places to eat out. For a beautiful chinese meal with very attentative and cute staff is the mandarin palace on the waterfront. The ice wharf for a nice cheap dinner is always gud. The exchange is quite nice but they seem to rush around alot. The gallery in the waterside is gorgeous and really friendly for food and then there is a club next door to head when your finised. Somewhere nice for lunch is a new restaurant called quay west, its beautiful and modern...like something out of sex and the city..ohh and the food is delicious. Or if ur lookin for a quick snack we have our local bars serving grub during the day and check out the sandwich company for beautiful sandwiches and coffee and friendly staff!!!

Andy
Try Floyds of Duke Street for a mean meal on the way to Prehen ( you pass it on the way to the fields) or what about a good oul steak in O'Briens Steak house on Strand Road - The Jack Daniels sauce is GREAT!!!!!

O'Briens
for good eatin and friendly staff, O'briens is by far one of the best restaurants in the City. its the only original American steak house in town...thumbs up... BigM;)

Anne Curran
Well I could recommend quite a few Quaywest and Brown,s and Rochesters......great wine and the foods not bad either You'll be spoilt for choice!!!!!!

Bridies
If you can find a bridies chippy in the waterside u shud eat there becasue there food is delicious and really cheap. only £2.10 for a battered sausage supper and it cud feed 2 ppl.

Golden Fryer
The golden fryer on spencer road is one of the best chippys in the waterside especially after a few drinks.

"Frankie ramsey's" is the best place in Derry to eat, with quality food, good hygine, and the best enteratinment money can't buy! Set rite in the heart of Derry's very own east end, there's always a bita scandal about!
