As amateur foodies, my husband and I were having a hard time finding anything that really got us excited about dining along the northern coast. On our way back from Derry to Portstewart, we were fishing about for something other than mediocre pub/bistro fare when we came across a review for the Lime Tree, which advertised seafood as a speciality....

These guys are doing exactly what the diner wants, good honest food. They have what I call the McDonalds formula, consistancy. Not that I am comparing the food to McDonalds, but way too many times you go into a restaurant, get a great meal only to return and find the chef has changed and the food is simply not near... More

My title says it all. The service is amazing, friendly, helpful and in no way intrusive. The food is amazing with fantastic variety of meat and super fresh fish dishes. The sides that come with the meals are class too.

We visited here on a Tuesday night without a reservation and had no problem getting a table. We were a party of six and all chose the mid-week £20 menu, which, of course was not extensive but had enough variety to suit all tastes. Hightlights were the red potatoe soup and the cod thermador but the other mains - salmon... More

Excellent meal in simple surroundings with a real family feel. This is a family run restaurant and the service is First Class, the food of the highest quality and the tariff most resonable.

This little gem of a restaurant located in Limavady is certainly a place not to be missed. Run by Chef Stanley and his wife Maria (Mathews) the Lime tree has won numerous awards for it's own individual style and recipes. I have been there numerous times, for both casual and more formal occasions, and have yet to be disappointed. A... More
