The Sooty Olive
Named after a kind of fishing lure, this trendy eatery in central Derry specializes in locally sourced food, and serves it with class. The décor in the small dining room makes the most of the exposed brick walls, contrasting it with tasteful leather chairs and sofas. Similarly, the cooking makes the most of local ingredients in dishes like sea bream with black pudding and new potatoes, and duck breast with potato fondant. There’s steak and skinny fries, as well as plenty of vegetarian options. Desserts are to die for. The wine list is small but well-chosen; try a bottle of the dark and spicy Basilisk Ausralian Shiraz (£30).
