Dining Out United Kingdom: Brøn, Londonderry (Derry), Northern Ireland

 


We took another train ride yesterday and visited the historical city of Derry.  Unfortunately, it was a cold and rainy day and that limited our time to roam around and truly explore the way the city deserved.

We were a party of seven yesterday and Brøn was very busy during our meal. As a result, our group was divided between two separate tables, but Emily thankfully got pictures of the food from their table.

Here's the menu!


At our table I selected the Penne Arrabbiata with garlic bread. This was a large bowl of penne pasta with a rich house tomato sauce, fresh chili, garlic, cherry tomatoes, shallots, parsley and chili flakes. Everything about this dish was spot on and packed with flavor. The pasta was a perfect al dente, the sauce had a nice level of heat from the chilis, and it was loaded with fresh garlic. The bread was delicious as well. I chose wisely.


There was no fish and chips on the menu this time, so Sweet Harold had to select a different entree!  He opted for the steak sandwich which had gouda, arugula, caramelized onions, and garlic aioli.  The chips were crisp and well seasoned.  He loved everything about this sandwich.  All the condiments and toppings were great with the house-rubbed steak.




Emily ordered this as well and she agreed she'd certainly order it again.

Two of the other diners chose Chicken and Waffles:  Southern fried chicken, Belgium waffles, hot honey, garlic aioli, and slaw.



This dish won rave reviews as well.  Presentation is lovely.

The grandsons ordered a burger with chips and pancakes with Nutella and strawberries.  They inhaled both so I'd say that is a ringing endorsement.



From the time we entered until we finished our meal, there was a constant flow of diners.
