The Walled City Brewery - homemade warm chocolate fondant

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).

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.

Service was cordial and the atmosphere was relaxed yet refined…read more One of the highlights was the brown bread appetizer which they are known for and we picked up a bag of mix to go to make some at home - it was that good! The cocktails were not super creative, but I did enjoy my Ian Orr and my husband liked the traditional old fashioned. The apps were the star of the night - i got the cauliflower & truffle soup which is by far the most velvety delicious cauliflower soup I've ever had. My husband got the scallops and miso pork belly which was also quite flavorful. Scallops were cleaned well and were fresh which is a must for scallops imo. If I had a do over I would have gotten it for my main or another bowl of cauliflower because it was soooo good. The entrées for us were just so so. The Inishowen grass fed beef was prepared well and the sauce was good, but it didn't blow us away. The croquette wasn't very flavorful. We did like the beef better than the fish of the day. Fish was not impressive and the ratatouille did not seem like the best complement for the bland fish. The ravioli was good, so probably needed a couple more of those. All in all, it was a good meal but a little pricey for the experience. We've had better thought out meals for around the same price. Parking can be a challenge as it's locked in at the end of a street.

Yelp needs a 10 star option simply to appropriately rate this place…read more First of all, they were very accommodating with vegetarian requests. Second of all, every. single. thing. was. amazing. My taste buds have never been so happy. I wish I could remember the names of everything but all I remember is feeling pure joy. Third of all, they provide top of the line customer service. It was an intimate setting and we ended up chatting quite a bit with the folks beside us, another plus to the night! I am dying to return to Ireland for a few reasons but Browns is at the top of the list!!
