Best French Bakery in Londonderry

"Sandinos, an independent cafe bar on Water Street, known for throwing great parties in it's main bar, a good gig or two in its back bar & a great pint in it's cafe bar - which is is one of the coolest places in town may we add."

"From the posters of Che to the Free Palestine flag to the fairtrade coffee and gluten-free beer, this relaxed cafe-bar exudes a liberal, left-wing vibe. DJs spin from Thursday to Saturday in Club Havana; there's..."

"If you're a tourist or visitor to the city, The Pickled Duck Cafe is the ideal place to stop off for a coffee break during your walk around the city. The cafe looks right out onto the Guildhall, the Guildhall Square and the Derry Walls. So although you're having a break, you can still sit down and look out at some of the most popular tourist attractions in our city."

"Since opening their doors on the Guildhall Square they have fast become a popular spot to grab breakfast or lunch in the city. Also opening the doors to a SECOND cafe on Greenhaw Road, serving quality homemade food, their famous 'brown ding' & lots of delicious cakes including cheesecakes you'll be drooling over!"

"This place isn’t anything fancy but it does an absolutely cracking and reasonably priced full Irish breakfast. In fact everything on the menu is reasonably priced. They have two locations but the one close to Guildhall Square is the most central."

"The Scullery, is an artisan bakery & coffee house at the bottom of Waterloo Street, & they sure know how to make a damn good cheesecake. The ideal place to kick back, relax & watch the world go by. Also home to two cafes at Magee Campus."

"The Coffee Tree’s thriving, quality food and rustic interior making it a go-to for locals in the area. It has gained special acclaim for its trademark ‘doorstop’ sandwiches – distinctively being served up on large slices of lightly-toasted brown bread and stuffed to the brim, the soup is also excellent. Quality is maximised by keeping options on the menu limited, something which is also the case for the simple but perfectly-executed desserts on offer."

"Don't be fooled by The Coffee Tree's modest exterior - this cafe serves up some of the best coffee in town. Run by couple Finbar and Movania, The Coffee Tree has been growing in popularity since opening three years ago and its easy to see why. The cafe possesses a warm atmosphere and serves up sublime coffee and snacks."

"FREE TEA/AMERICANO WITH EVERY WRAP OR PANINI EVERYDAY WITH YOUR CARD. You will find the Walled Garden Cafe hidden in the beautiful St Columbs Park, next to St Columbs Park House. The ultimate spot for a relaxing coffee away from the hustle & bustle of the city centre."

"Granny Annie's is a popular local pub with a welcoming attitude to locals and visitors alike. Party vibes are on every night, beer flows endlessly and live bands make frequent appearances. The interior is tastefully crafted, and table service is attentive."

"Java is an independent coffee shop located on the corner of Ferryquay Street / Artillery Street looking out onto the city walls, right by the hustle & bustle of the city centre, the perfect spot to watch the world go by!. From Derry baps & Java burritos to soups, salads & buddha bowls, this cafe has got you covered for tasty breakfasts, lunch options, homemade traybakes & a variety of scones served with a homemade jam & fresh cream!"

"We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay at the Bishop's Gate Hotel, which is conveniently located just inside the city walls, within easy walking distance to the central sights of Derry/Londonderry. Stephanie at reception, who checked us in, was charming, gracious, cheerful, friendly, full of smiles and very helpful. We liked her very much. Our luxury king room was very quiet and comfortable. We slept well. Although the room was a little small, preventing it from having a dresser to unpack into, our overall comfort was unaffected. We remain very pleased with our choice. The Gown restaurant was superb for both dinner and breakfast. The wait staff made sure that everything was to our satisfaction. Our Sirloin steaks for dinner were perfectly done, the accompanying sauces (we chose the garlic butter and green peppercorn cream) were very tasty, as were the chunky chips and tossed salad. The Apple Tart Tatin and Warm Sticky Toffee Pudding were the perfect finish to a delicious dinner. Breakfast was a continental buffet of cereals, fruits, meats and cheeses, breads and pastries, but also included freshly cooked items made to order. Choices included a spinach, tomato and Brie crêpe, which was phenomenal, as were the pancakes, eggs, porridge, mushrooms, sausage and crispy bacon. Like dinner, these were all perfectly prepared. We were able to indulge ourselves completely in preparation to walk the city walls and tour the sights of Derry/Londonderry.""This is an excellent hotel, right in the heart of the city centre. The excellent service started as soon as we arrived. we were met at the door, bags taken immediately and valet parking was taken care off. At check in we were greeted by name, taken to our room and shown around. After a walk we spent a couple of very pleasant hours in the bar with friends over coffee and a bottle of wine. Breakfast was also excellent with lovely food cooked to order. We are already looking to return with the whole family.""We booked Bishops gate 10 minutes before arriving, as our other accommodation had to suddenly close, and the staff at bishops gate went out of their ways to make us feel welcome. We had just got engaged and on hearing this, the hotel upgraded us to the penthouse suite, which was fab! The dinner (which was apart of the package) was exceptional, the service was amazing and everyone was so friendly! Although not planned, our stay at bishops gate was perfect and made our day even more special... we will be back :) "

"Bishop’s Gate Hotel is just across from the Derry Walls, where visitors can explore the intact 17th-century enclosure of the city, featuring 24 restored cannons and seven gates. The listed Edwardian-style hotel has plenty of history of its own, having once been the headquarters of a club of local gentry who had served in the Crimean War, with Winston Churchill and W.B. Yeats among the visitors."

"This four-star hotel is surrounded by the historic Derry City Walls and is next to The Siege Museum. You won’t need to walk far to discover the rich history Derry has to offer its guests. It is situated in Derry City Centre, and as it is surrounded by bars, nightlife, shopping and much more, you will not get bored in this amazing city."
