I happened to be walking by and I spotted the restaurant and decided to have a look. It does not look great from the outside but I'm glad I went in. It's a nice restaurant, spotlessly clean and well presented. As a lone diner on a visit from county Down, and a chap who loves dining out, I was very... More

Popped in for a beer, being summer they had a modest looking BBQ set up outside. Read the menu and stayed for about 4 hours eating and drinking. I had the BBQ dinner and it was mind blowing. My fiance ate from the a la carte menu and was astounded. everything was perfect and massively exceeded expectations! I have been... More

Outstanding, a star must be coming, and I loved the way the chef/ owner served the canapes. Starter was amazing but the rest was mind blowing....

Lunch 2 courses for £15-00 or 3 for £17-50. The highest quality food Northern Ireland has to offer. It is one of the best lunches I have ever tasted. I would strongly recommend Browns for a really great culinary experience. I can not fault this place. I have been here twice now and have just booked for my third of,... More

I have visited the walled city since he 1970s and never dreamed that quality dining like this would ever hit town , they even had a couple of bottled Belfast beers which may not seem a lot but this is barren real ale country. The service and presentation were great although of course the price reflects the quality, early bird... More

As locals living in England and following the Great British Menu and hearing from family how fab Brown's was we couldn't wait to go at Easter. I had the goat's cheese and beetroot which was so cold that none of the flavours could be appreciated. That was followed by a curried monk fish risotto = which i love but only... More

I went to Browns with some work colleagues recently and this was my first time in the restaurant. The food, although a bit more pricey than most if not all other local restaurants, was well worth it. Plus its nice to get a restaurant in the city that serves something that little bit different. This is a restaurant I'll definitely... More

Food was excellent, staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The outside of the restaurant may not be overly impressive but the food and staff (which are the important things) could not have been better.

This is a very nice restaurant when it comes to decour, style and ambience, and the service from front of house i have to say was flawless and very attentive, the best i have ever had in the City of Derry definately a hot spot for intertaining friends and clients, but probably not for the more discerning palate or 'food...
