Having previously had a fantastic evening meal and a major family celebration at the Vines, we thought we'd go along and try their breakfast menu. What a little gem! The Breakfast menu is extensive - Full Irish and so much more to choose from! My husband enjoyed the full Irish so much that we visited again a few days later... More

Having never been to the vines before, I was unsure what to expect when I booked it for 22 people for my mum's 60th surprise birthday party. It had come highly recommended by quite a few colleagues but still I thought I would wait and see if the expectations were met. From the booking, to the afternoon of the party... More

We celebrated my wife's birthday in the private function room upstairs. The room itself was perfect - ample space for 30 adults and even 3 energetic toddlers and with its own private bar. The room was beautifully decorated with banners and balloons, creating a lovely party atmosphere. As is always is the case at The Vines, the quality of the... More

Today I was coming back from the Giant's Causeway with my family and we decided to take a stop in this restaurant. I must say the service was friendly and attentive and the food was astounding I was surprised that food could even taste that good. I had the lamb shank that was to die for! The standard of cooking... More

Me and a couple of my colleagues recently came back from a business trip in Madrid and the food there was nothing compared to the service and quality food at The Vines. We have ate at The Vines multiple times in the past and not once have we ever had a disappointment with the service and the food. As usual... More

This was the first time I have ever eaten at the vines restaurant, first and last! My family and I booked a table for 11 people. When we arrived we were shown to our table and told we won't be with you for a while because we are so busy. VERY POOR! The decor of the restaurant itself was fine.... More

We have been here four times now, both as a couple and in a large group! I have to say I am more than impressed. The lunch menu is unbelievably good value for money!

Booked for Sunday lunch which runs until 5 pm. It had a rather standard range of starters and main courses. It would have been nice for a restaurant boasting and advertising a top Trip Advisor place in County Derry to offer at least one adventurous dish for each course. The inclusion of prawnlets in the Prawn Cocktail is surely not... More
