Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Portstewart

"If you're a tourist or visitor to the city, The Pickled Duck Cafe is the ideal place to stop off for a coffee break during your walk around the city. The cafe looks right out onto the Guildhall, the Guildhall Square and the Derry Walls. So although you're having a break, you can still sit down and look out at some of the most popular tourist attractions in our city."

"Since opening their doors on the Guildhall Square they have fast become a popular spot to grab breakfast or lunch in the city. Also opening the doors to a SECOND cafe on Greenhaw Road, serving quality homemade food, their famous 'brown ding' & lots of delicious cakes including cheesecakes you'll be drooling over!"

"This place isn’t anything fancy but it does an absolutely cracking and reasonably priced full Irish breakfast. In fact everything on the menu is reasonably priced. They have two locations but the one close to Guildhall Square is the most central."

"Back in the village, the French Rooms is a beautiful space now re-opened as a Guest House. Imagine waking up to Stella’s sourdough French toast and homemade scones with local jam!"

"The Scullery, is an artisan bakery & coffee house at the bottom of Waterloo Street, & they sure know how to make a damn good cheesecake. The ideal place to kick back, relax & watch the world go by. Also home to two cafes at Magee Campus."

"Granny Annie's is a popular local pub with a welcoming attitude to locals and visitors alike. Party vibes are on every night, beer flows endlessly and live bands make frequent appearances. The interior is tastefully crafted, and table service is attentive."

"This is a great place for a fry, or a ‘proper dinner’; however, it’s one of the best-kept secrets that one of the owners is from Thailand and, as such, provides regular Thai meals and a daily Thai special. Beautiful, spicy, flavoursome food in the heart of a very conservative village. Unexpected and delicious."

"Java is an independent coffee shop located on the corner of Ferryquay Street / Artillery Street looking out onto the city walls, right by the hustle & bustle of the city centre, the perfect spot to watch the world go by!. From Derry baps & Java burritos to soups, salads & buddha bowls, this cafe has got you covered for tasty breakfasts, lunch options, homemade traybakes & a variety of scones served with a homemade jam & fresh cream!"

"Located on Shipquay Street, Claudes is  a cafe that is big on cycling (hence why they have a bicycle mounted on the wall as you walk in). You can expect panini's, baked potatoes salads & sandwiches with delicious fresh fillings,& lots of homemade sweet treats."

"This modern hotel is centrally located within the historic city walls just around the corner from the bars and restaurants of Shipquay Street and Waterloo Street and has 90 rooms and three suites. The Maldron does a mean afternoon tea in the Lyric Bar – available from £12.50 per person or £15 with a glass of sparkling wine – including finger sandwiches, butter, cream and jam with your scones, a selection of mini desserts and freshly brewed coffee or tea. There’s also live music every Saturday night from 8pm."

"The lady at the front desk is very patient. My English is not very good. I blame Bei Ai’s dialect for being too heavy. The cards are called keizi. The breakfast in the hotel is great, the breakfast of absolute conscience is much better than in the country, my sister offers you not a cup of coffee, but a pot"

"The Free Derry Corner is one of the most popular landmarks in the city. It is based at the foot of the famous Bogside community. It is a freestanding wall that commemorates ‘Free Derry’, the self-proclaimed nationalist independence area during 1968 – 1972 and often celebrates modern-day resistance movements."

"The Free Derry Corner, where the gable end of a house painted with the famous slogan 'You are Now Entering Free Derry' still stands, is all that remains of a row of terraced houses in the old Bogside district."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay at the Bishop's Gate Hotel, which is conveniently located just inside the city walls, within easy walking distance to the central sights of Derry/Londonderry. Stephanie at reception, who checked us in, was charming, gracious, cheerful, friendly, full of smiles and very helpful. We liked her very much. Our luxury king room was very quiet and comfortable. We slept well. Although the room was a little small, preventing it from having a dresser to unpack into, our overall comfort was unaffected. We remain very pleased with our choice. The Gown restaurant was superb for both dinner and breakfast. The wait staff made sure that everything was to our satisfaction. Our Sirloin steaks for dinner were perfectly done, the accompanying sauces (we chose the garlic butter and green peppercorn cream) were very tasty, as were the chunky chips and tossed salad. The Apple Tart Tatin and Warm Sticky Toffee Pudding were the perfect finish to a delicious dinner. Breakfast was a continental buffet of cereals, fruits, meats and cheeses, breads and pastries, but also included freshly cooked items made to order. Choices included a spinach, tomato and Brie crêpe, which was phenomenal, as were the pancakes, eggs, porridge, mushrooms, sausage and crispy bacon. Like dinner, these were all perfectly prepared. We were able to indulge ourselves completely in preparation to walk the city walls and tour the sights of Derry/Londonderry.""This is an excellent hotel, right in the heart of the city centre. The excellent service started as soon as we arrived. we were met at the door, bags taken immediately and valet parking was taken care off. At check in we were greeted by name, taken to our room and shown around. After a walk we spent a couple of very pleasant hours in the bar with friends over coffee and a bottle of wine. Breakfast was also excellent with lovely food cooked to order. We are already looking to return with the whole family.""We booked Bishops gate 10 minutes before arriving, as our other accommodation had to suddenly close, and the staff at bishops gate went out of their ways to make us feel welcome. We had just got engaged and on hearing this, the hotel upgraded us to the penthouse suite, which was fab! The dinner (which was apart of the package) was exceptional, the service was amazing and everyone was so friendly! Although not planned, our stay at bishops gate was perfect and made our day even more special... we will be back :) "

"Bishop’s Gate Hotel is just across from the Derry Walls, where visitors can explore the intact 17th-century enclosure of the city, featuring 24 restored cannons and seven gates. The listed Edwardian-style hotel has plenty of history of its own, having once been the headquarters of a club of local gentry who had served in the Crimean War, with Winston Churchill and W.B. Yeats among the visitors."

"This four-star hotel is surrounded by the historic Derry City Walls and is next to The Siege Museum. You won’t need to walk far to discover the rich history Derry has to offer its guests. It is situated in Derry City Centre, and as it is surrounded by bars, nightlife, shopping and much more, you will not get bored in this amazing city."

"Causeway Coast – The most famous part of Northern Ireland these days is Giant's Causeway and the Causeway Coast, which are indeed amazing!. I recommend driving the route yourself and visiting Giant's Causeway at your own pace, OR you can take a Game of Thrones-themed tour from Belfast that will also include a stop at Giant's Causeway."

"Northern Ireland's only UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Giant's Causeway is a mass of almost 40,000 mostly hexagonal pillars of volcanic…"
