The Exchange

About

The Exchange Restaurant and Wine Bar is a family‑friendly, informal venue situated in the heart of Derry, just steps from the Peace Bridge and the historic Guildhall. Celebrated for its vibrant social atmosphere, the restaurant pairs a wide selection of locally‑sourced dishes—ranging from hearty stews to fresh fish—with an extensive wine list curated by an in‑house sommelier. The cosy central bar provides a welcoming focal point, and the warm décor makes it an ideal spot for a relaxed lunch or a lively night out. With a Five‑Star hygiene rating and a reputation for friendly service, it remains a staple of the town’s dining scene. Guests can drop in on a first‑come, first‑served basis (no reservations required) and enjoy a menu that blends contemporary British flavours with international influences, including vegan and gluten‑free options. The signature chocolate cake is a must‑try treat after the meal. The Exchange is easily accessible by bus, walkers and cyclists, and a small car‑park is available nearby at the Victoria Market.
