We were a group of nine staying in Derry/Londonderry for the NW200 races at Portrush. Our meal was excellent and brilliant value for money. The waitress took a complicated order of a variety of nine starters and main courses and several different drinks - all arrived without a hitch. I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant. NB We were... More

Myself and my wife went to the exchange in Derry for dinner on an evening out. We booked ahead and in arrival where asked to wait at the bar, not sure if this is or was a tactic in order to have us spend more money on drinks at the bar prior to our seating??? The food was delicious all... More

Called in lateish for food and a few glasses of wine.The bar service was great and the food was lovely .Most of us at the steaks which were brilliant with lots of trimmings and excellently cooked .Would definitely return in a more relaxed pace as this was a really busy night of the world famous Jazz Festival

We dined as a family of 6, appetizers, dinner and of course, dessert! Great flavorful food, with old style Italian flair, we could have been in Italy for the few hours!!!

Amazing value and fab quality food! We had the early bird menu which was very comprehensive and would suit any taste at excellent prices. Small gripe was waiting for the table to be cleared however the staff attitudes and approachability more than compensated for this!! Highly recommend the cheesy garlic bread and the chicken stir fry A definite must for... More

One of the best and most popular restaurants in town. Always busy whether it's Tuesday lunchtime or Saturday night. I have never had a bad meal in this restaurant, food is great and nice selection of wines, beers, cocktails. Menu isn't anything out of the ordinary as such - the usual steaks, fish, pasta dishes, chicken escalopes with a choice... More

My family use this restaurant regularly and I have to say the food is always great. We have never had a bad meal. The service is also great. The only negative I have is not being able to book a table for a small party, sometimes we have to go elsewhere as we simply couldn't keep the kids waiting up... More

We visit the exchange restaurant on a monthly basis as a family and the food is the best you will ever have the pleasure of tasting. Its exquisite. You must go early though or expect to wait at least an hour on a table. Its packed every night of the week and you cannot book tables. Well worth visiting if... More
