The Pickled Duck Cafe - Londonderry

Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £1–10 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes: Tomato Soup

Ate here on a busy Saturday lunchtime. The staff seemed flustered. They were telling people that there would be a 30 minute wait for food because of a problem in the kitchen. The pickled duck, after which it is named was not available to order. My Columbian eggs were overcooked scrambled egg on a very greasy piece of bread and the chorizo pieces still had the paper coating attached. We did receive a discount because of this. In a great spot besides the Guildhall but disappointing overall.

Great place to eat lunch in Derry. Friendly staff, delicious meal. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

If you're hungry for attitude, this is the place to go. Food is average and the slow service is filled with less than friendly vibes. Food: 3 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2

Me and my dad have eaten here quite a few times recently for lunch. First of all it 's a lovely place inside, we 've walked past it so many times because it 's a little easy to miss from the outside. Staff are really friendly and polite and they don 't keep you waiting long. As for the food......phenomenal. My dad has the beef taco sandwich every time. Best sandwich I 've ever had according to him, and believe me that 's high praise from him. I 've ordered a few things now to go over some of the lunch menu. Everything was incredibly tasty and well portioned. Above all for me though is the breakfast brioche bap. Everything perfectly cooked and just tastes fresh. I don 't normally like black pudding, but I will scoff this one with no hesitation. The bap is fresh as I said and is perfect to house the sausage, egg etc. The homemade ding sauce is a highlight, a little sweetness to add to the savoury. A-star. It can be crowded at times, so you may not get seated right away. This is partially due to some renovation work going on in their coffee garden out back, but we have never had to wait 10 minutes to get seated and believe me, the wait is worth it.
