Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Buncrana

"It could be tempting (if not particularly healthy) to spend an entire day hopping between the city’s many pubs, but why not learn something while you’re at it?. Based in Ebrington Square, the Walled City Brewery offers brewing masterclasses where you can learn (and drink) your way through the 9,000-year history of beer. Those who indulge in the tour will get to taste 10 different beers during a one-and-a-half-hour masterclass, as well as dine in the award-winning restaurant."

"I don’t know if I can get away with calling a food truck a restaurant, but I will continue to do so until I am stopped because it is a personal favourite. The food truck is parked up on Queens Quay, showing off a gorgeous view of the river Foyle. Their street food style is simple, yet takes you on a wild journey across the globe through their ingredients."

"A buzzing, cosy joint nestled in the heart of Derry’s Waterside, The Sooty Olive opened in 2013 and within a year of business had scooped itself a mention as one of the country’s best restaurants in the prestigious McKennas’ Guides. The brainchild of owner and head chef Sean Harrigan, The Sooty Olive’s menu includes both global and local cuisine with dishes like the salt and pepper stir-fried squid with peanut dip starter and the Irish chicken supreme main with colcannon cake and mushroom cream. Desserts include indulgent offerings like cheesecake of the day and warm chocolate brownie with chocolate sauce and ice cream."

"The Sooty Olive is a dining option on the city’s east bank, made much more accessible in recent years by the construction of the ‘Peace Bridge’. Despite being named after a trout-fishing tied fly, the restaurant’s menu is not seafood-specific and serves up local favourites, with enough quirks to keep it interesting. Situated in an area with a high number of offices and work spaces, the Sooty Olive is a popular lunch destination, as well as catering to the evening market."

"One of the more chic and swanky Derry restaurants, the service here is exceptional and their 2 or 3 course dinner menu is a great price if you fancy a treat. If you can, take some of their Browns Guinness Bread Mix with you too. Address: 21 Strand Rd, Derry/Londonderry, Ireland, BT48 7BJ"

"Located in the heart of the city mid-way between two of Derry’s most famous theatres, Badger’s is the perfect place to suit all tastes. A fine polished-brass and stained-glass Victorian pub with wood-panelled nooks and crannies, and an outdoor terrace, Badgers offers a quiet haven on Orchard Street in the City Centre. No matter what time of day you pop into Badgers bar, there always seems to be a few locals propping up the bar, which helps keep the atmosphere authentic."

"Opened in 1995 by husband and wife team Claudio and Maureen Antonucci, La Sosta has been delighting local diners with its delicious Italian cuisine for over two decades. Inspired by the culinary traditions of Claudio’s native Abruzzo with a distinctly modern twist, La Sosta’s menu features standout dishes like the risotto starter with mascarpone and red cabbage and the seabream main with roasted fennel, olives, cockles and thyme. With indulgent treats like traditional homemade tiramisu and hot chocolate pudding with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce to finish, diners with a sweet tooth will want to save room for dessert."

"Central yet tucked away in a small, out-of-the-way alley, La Sosta is a family-owned Italian restaurant that is worth a little extra effort to find. Depending on where you request to be seated, you might be able to dine with a direct view over the river."

"Nonna's was founded by two brothers & their love for real Italian pizza. With two venues in the city, you can enjoy a range of Italian inspired pizza's from the classic wood fired oven . & not only that, they also offer a range of delicious sides, nibbles & antipasti at both venues (Spencer Rd & Shipquay St)."

"A smart purpose-built hotel, Da Vinci’s is close to the banks of the River Foyle, 15-minutes’ walk north of the city centre. The 64 bedrooms offer more space than many hotels in the heart of town and provide complimentary newspapers and bespoke toiletries, while the Morrisons Suite has a super king bed and vanity area. The wood-panelled Da Vinci’s Bar opened in 1986 and was one of the city’s Famous Five top bars, all named after painters."

"The hotel is a bit dated, but the beds are comfortable and the rooms are clean. A certain distance from the city center, suitable for self-driving, convenient parking. There is a Chinese restaurant by the seaside of the cathedral when driving fast. The price is not cheap, but it tastes good. There are Chinese waiters who can help with ordering.""Not bad～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～"

"This four-star, multi-award-winning hotel is located on the Culmore Road. Within a 5-minute drive of the city centre, and a 15-minute walk to Brunswick Moviebowl, there is much entertainment to suit all ages close by. The hotel offers a range of comfortable rooms and suites."
