By Half of what we did in Derry was eat and it was all delicious. Our first stop was Soda & Scratch. This restaurant was suggested by Wilderness Ireland and honestly, it was probably one of my favorite meals. I tried the BBQ Chicken Tikka Salad and Keltin got the Lisdergan Butchers 6oz Marrow Aged Beef Burger. We visited on a wet and chilly day and the tea I had before the meal was the perfect thing to warm me up!
From our table at Soda & Starch we could see the desserts of Funky Cakes and I decided early on that we needed sweets after lunch. This was a wonderful decision. The shop smelled like sugar and chocolate. 10 out of 10 recommend stopping in for a treat.
We weren’t in Derry long but the food was worth a visit. What are your favorite types of restaurants to visit when traveling? Do you follow your nose? Let me know in the comments! Leave no trace and safe travels!

One thing I remember about when I was on a history study tour in France back in college over a decade ago, you couldn’t resist the bread.

In some of the restaurants that offered pizza, the topping choices were very different (apart from cheese). In one hotel, coffee wasn’t as appealing, but they had a chocolate drink that was better.

Sounds lovely! I usually love to browse the windows and menus before I pick a restaurant. I get so excited about eating and can never choose lol. 🤣
