The flagship of the Browns group sits on the east bank of the River Foyle and comes with a plush lounge and an intimate, art deco style dining room. The artful modern cooking is elaborate in its techniques and combinations and represents good value for money.

Latin for ‘craft’, Artis sits in the Craft Village area of the city and is, at its core, a celebration of local produce and trusted local suppliers. The two-roomed restaurant is serene in both atmosphere and decoration thanks to the warm service and neutral hues. Dishes are clean, contemporary and technically accomplished, and the desserts are always a highlight.

It may be found in quite a remote area near the Irish border, but MacNean House is a destination in its own right. Run by celebrity chef Neven Maguire, it houses a cookery school, bedrooms and this perennially busy restaurant. There’s a plushness to the dining room and a degree of formality in the service that make it a popular choice for celebrating a special occasion, while the generous tasting menu offers attractive, detailed cooking. The finest Irish ingredients are used and there’s no shortage of flavour across the dishes.
