We walked into Yellow Pepper without a reservation and were graciously met by Naomi, who was simply terrific! The food, ambience and service were outstanding.

If you find yourself in or near Letterkenny, I would definitely make Yellow Pepper a required stop for fine dining.

We knew about the Walled City Brewery before visiting Derry, but what we didn't know was that they…read morehave very limited hours. During our stay, Monday - Thursday they are only open for a small window between 5-8:30pm. We decided not to go the brewery tour, so I can't comment on if it is worthwhile, but I think I would try doing it next time if we ever were to go back to Derry.  The brewery has a full restaurant which has fantastic reviews and was also recommended by our friend who has gone before. We weren't hungry yet for dinner, so we opted to just visit the Taproom. The Taproom is also very cool and has a great vibe with interesting artwork. What we really liked about this brewery was it felt like a craft brewery and offered a lot of variety in their beers. It was the first place that we found that offered a sour beer, they had a wit beer, and they even had a hard seltzer (which honestly wasn't very good unless you like gin drinks). We enjoyed a few drinks and the music for a hour or so before deciding on dinner.

4.5 stars for lunch w/ brew…read more I got the Cauliflower Steak at 12€ and a taster set of 3 brews (the Boom, Punt Purse, and the IPA 2.3%). The Cauliflower Steak was absolutely delicious with some fantastic flavors to it, and thankfully it was NOT greasy (unlike some other places I ordered cauliflower in the UK). I would highly recommend this dish. As for my taster set, the Punt Purse and 2.3% IPA were both fine, but it was "the Boom" that stole the show in my opinion....I should've just gotten a pint of that. The only negative was our server, who didn't seem into his job at all. The attention he gave us was all quite perfunctory....maybe he was just having an off day because he had something serious on his mind that day, but if not, he might consider looking for a position other than a server (since he clearly didn't seem to be into it).

Our appetizer, bhaji, arrived badly overcooked (perhaps a lower temperature in the fryer would help), but they promptly replaced it with one slightly less so. WAIT ... Keep going; this was the only bad part. For entrees, we had the Duck Breast and the "Natural Smoked Haddock" (not sure what "natural" means - probably not caught pre-smoked). The duck was cooked perfectly (rare) as were the vegetables. The duck was moist and tender, among the best we've had. The sauce was a great complement to the duck. (The spring rolls were forgettable, prepackaged, and unnecessary.) The smoked haddock came on a bed of curried rice and a decorative drizzle of sour cream surrounded by some cute little cubes of potato with a tiny bit of heat. All of the flavors were strong. The curry was not overwhelming, but was definitely forward. The haddock was very well cooked and had a strong, but balanced smokiness. Overall, this was one of the best meals we've had on this trip.

This place is nice enough. It's going for the higher end market quite clearly and that is sort of…read morethe problem here. It charges the prices to match. This would be ok but it is the sort of place you'd like to pop in to for a coffee and bite at lunch time. Here that's going to cost you close to or maybe even more than £10 by the time you get a coffee, main lunch (sandwich or sarnie/soup deal) and maybe a little something sweet for desert. To be fair I have to say the coffee although not exceptional is above average, and I think I'd say the same about the food. So that's my problem really, yeah it's very much dead on, but the prices just don't tally with me with what's on offer.

Our lunch in Browns in Town was a feast that probably could have tied us over until the next day…read more The meal was so filling that I felt I would need a wheelbarrow to be led away. But the food we ordered was worth feeling so full because it was wicked good. Located on Strand Road in downtown Derry, outside the City Walls, Browns in Town has a modern interior with brown wood walls in the primary dining area and a little postmodern-styled lounge in the front entrance. The vibes are fairly relaxed where you don't feel you have to dress up outside of jeans and a shirt to enjoy a meal. The food per our experience is certainly that of comfort and quality. One aspect my wife and I loved about Browns in Town, and many of the restaurants we visited in Northern Ireland and the Republic, is that on the menu we know which dishes are celiac friendly or have a celiac option, and note all the allergens present -- e.g., gluten, shellfish, dairy, eggs, nuts, etc. My wife is celiac, so this allowed us to choose this restaurant since it offers many gluten-free options -- and not just salad. Both of us ordered the local seafood chowder (I had the gluten version, while she had the celiac option), which was creamy, buttery, and delicious, loaded with a variety of seafood caught in the area and served with homemade bread. The Mushroom & Black Garlic Risotto was out of this world, with the pine nuts and parmesan providing a nice balance with primary ingredients -- also luscious and rich. The chefs cooked the risotto to perfection. I probably was fine just ordering that, as the black garlic chips (fries to us Americans) were overkill, but I couldn't help myself being at a restaurant for the first time in a city I have never visited before. My wife had the beer-battered cod in the gluten-free option and incredibly tasty, especially when combined with the mushy peas and tartar sauce. We didn't even attempt to order dessert because we were full to the point of being in a food coma. Fortunately, we had a lot of walking around ahead of us, which helped work off our meal a little. But I would absolutely return to enjoy some of the other fares they have on the menu.

Oysters is one of the nicest restaurants I've eaten in over in the North of Ireland.

The portions are impressively large and you won't be forking out a shedload of money if you're having three courses. The staff are incredibly helpful (although, that may be down to the fact that I was invited there by a family who frequents Oysters a lot), friendly and efficient. The layout is smart enough, but in no way over-egged. You don't have to dress up to eat there, but should you arrive in your Sunday best, you won't look out of place at all. Basically, this is a gem of a place and well worth snooping it out. They make amazing things with fishes.
