  “This restaurant was recommended by a museum guide and was only a short distance from the City Hotel. The interior is tasteful, modern with a welcoming staff. We were promptly seated without reservations, granted it was early in the evening. Plenty of menu choices: red meat, chicken and fish. The salmon was just right, not too dry. The chicken stir-fry had a nice spicy, but not too hot flavor. The servings were enough that we passed on dessert. If we lived here we would likely go again.”

  “Just nuts - best haddock dinner I've ever had. Lightly smoked then poached (best I could tell), served over slightly spicey curried rice with a decadent cream sauce not on, but in dollops around the plate? With bits of sauteed pancetta? OMG!”

  “We were in search of a traditional pub dinner but the pubs were heaving so we wandered around and happened upon this place. What a pleasant surprise! We didnt have a booking and there was quite a wait for tables so we opted to sit and eat at the bar. Food arrived within 30 mins which was impressive as the restaurant was packed. Food was great ! Loved the chicken skewer and my son loved his meal too. If in Derry add this to your list”

  “This restaurant was open later with their kitchen than many others in the area, they saved us when we were afraid we wouldn't get something to eat. It was a very busy spot for that reason, but they made us feel welcomed and we didn't sit at the bar for more than 15 minutes or so before our table was ready. Food was great and we didn't have to worry even though they were closing within 1 hr of our arrival. Watching the bartenders was also amazing, everyone there handled the very busy night well and we enjoyed our food arriving in great time.”

  “I brought a group of seven students in without a reservation, and they were nice enough to work things around and seat us right away. The service was fast and friendly and the restaurant is beautiful and well set up. I had the duck breast, which was tender and tasty, not to mention the Smithwicks I used to wash it down. Great restaurant in the heart of the city.”

  “Don't be fooled by the sterile, hotel-like atmosphere. This place is outstanding and has all the authentic Irish flavors you're looking for. The steak and ale pie was among the best I've ever had, and no one in my party left unhappy. It's an excellent spot for dinner.”

  “We stopped for lunch at The Exchange in Derry/Londonderry and were thoroughly impressed by both the food and the atmosphere. I ordered the tuna and cheese sandwich along with the seafood soup, and both dishes were great. The tuna and cheese sandwich was light and fluffy, with the tuna being well-seasoned. The cheese added a creamy richness that complemented the tuna perfectly. The seafood stew was equally as good with a variety of seafood in a creamy broth. Both were comforting and satisfying dishes that I would highly recommend to any seafood lover.”

  “We ate here on the recommendation of our server last night in Belfast. Honestly, we never would have chosen here. That would have been a mistake. The steak was perfectly cooked, the side salad, diverse and delicious, the fish also perfectly cooked. The staff has been great, and we have enjoyed our dinner immensely. Can NOT recommend this place highly enough, this was awesome!”
