"I visited this restaurant for the first time and ordered the Legenderry double burger, while my friend opted for the single patty version. Our food was ready in about 10 minutes, which I thought was impressive. The burger was tasty, but it was clear it hadn’t been cooked fresh, as it wasn’t hot when served. That was a letdown, as it seemed like it had been prepared earlier and reheated. The chips were decent, but I prefer the style from traditional chip shops, so that might just be my personal taste. Overall, the burger was good, but I expect it to be piping hot if it's made fresh rather than reheated, especially for £13. Despite this, I’m not discouraged from returning and look forward to enjoying a freshly made burger next time. Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3"

"We visited spaghetti junction on a busy Saturday at end of September. As per some comments below it does not look much from the outside but once inside you feel like you are transported to Italy. Menu is typical Italian and with 10 in our party a wide range of started came on all to an excellent standard. We then had mains again a wife variety of pasta, pizza and meat and all excellent. Waiting staff were very enthusiastic and attentive. As we were finishing startera the entertainment started with Bruno on the microphone. He started slowly but by the time we had finished all 10 of us plus the rest of the restaurant and waiting staff were up dancing to his array of songs. Highly recommended. Food excellent."

The Gate Bistro Cocktail

"This lively and cheerful bistro is situated right on the Derry city wall. The menu clearly highlights gluten-free (GF) options, and the servers are knowledgeable and eager to help. While they don’t offer GF bread, the fries are gluten-free. Although there aren’t any GF beers or ciders available, their cocktail menu is extensive—highly recommend the Mulberry Tom Collins on a warm evening! There’s a wide variety of choices for our diverse group, ranging from delicious vegetarian curry to stir-fries and sirloin, along with a good selection of gluten-free sides."

Walled City Brewery

Irish • British • European • Contemporary

"I ended up there more by chance and without a reservation and only had to wait a short time for a free table. The service was quick, attentive and friendly. The pricing is a bit unclear, there are no prices in the menu directly next to the dishes. There only seems to be a fixed price for 2 or 3 courses. My burger was tasty, but somehow nothing special, and I think £22 for a burger and fries is already a high price. The restaurant is really nicely decorated and the beer selection is good"

"We went to Timberquay as one of the group had been there twice recently and had a great experience definitely not this time. The restaurant was cold, we had to ask for the heating to be turned up. They couldn’t do cocktails as the bar person had gone home the place was not busy). Three of the mains had to be sent back as the chicken was cold, never a good thing. They did apologise and dishes were recooked, just meant one in the group having to eat on their own not ideal. The cost of two starters was deducted from the bill by way of apology which was appreciated. The waitress was very pleasant and did apologise again but there was an issue in the kitchen if three dishes were returned for the same reason. The overall price was reasonable but overall a disappointing experience."
