Grow HQ in Waterford

Beautiful wholesome homegrown fresh food in the heart of Waterford. Very friendly and courteous staff.

A little disappointed with the variety of vegetables for sale in the shop to say the least

I've just had the most beautiful breakfast, absolutely delicious 😋 & filling. Staff are so lovely & hospitable, atmosphere even though busy it's a lovely place to relax & enjoy. Definitely will be back again. The variety of goods in the shop is fantastic. I purchased one of their glass bottles & filled it with some fresh milk as I was leaving so I will be interested to see if the rest of the family notice the difference 😜 Keep up the great work all at Grow & may the ethos & place continue to grow

Had breakfast here.. my omlette was absolutely delicious, my husband full breakfast with duck egg was really good, in particular the black pudding which he wouldn’t normally eat. The potatoes sautéed were very dry and felt they were cooked day before and reheated which was a shame. Great staff and lovely outside area.

Lovely food. Staff the very best you could have looking after you. A really good experience

We had a lovely breakfast here today. After a long journey and an overnight ferry, we needed hot breakfast to recover. The food was really good and very large portions! Friendly staff. We found an ambient temperature inside a bit too low for 8am, but for others it might be just right!

Always delicious food, and particularly good for vegetarians. We look forward to eating here any time we are in the southeast of Ireland. Everything is made on site from scratch and the vegetables and salad vegetables are all very fresh and almost all grown on site. A wonderful garden to table experience.

Unfortunately, while I agree with the ethos this place, it has very limited vegan/dairy free options which I would have thought they would have been strong in. My partner cannot eat dairy and I I choose not to eat dairy or meat, and this is a struggle in a lot of places we go, but we had expected somewhere with this ethos to cater well to those who prefer vegetable-based dishes. On more than one occasion, I could only eat the soup (bean, sometimes lentil) or salad leaves. The soup, sadly lacks flavour - it is extremely bland which is a shame because it’s rare that I don’t enjoy a soup (it’s like it doesn’t have enough vege stock or has been overly watered down). And there are no dairy free butter options if you’re having bread. The dairy is an issue when you have a partner who is very intolerant to the protein in milk. Interestingly vegan icecream/sorbet was advertised when we were here, which was interesting given that the only other thing a vegan could eat was the soup (on a hot day). Even the salads came with some form of cheese. I just would have expected more vegetable/vegan focused options for a place whose ethos is growing food, and if the only option is a soup, is should be a great tasting soup, not bland. Unfortunately I’d be reluctant to go back on this basis, and even a lot of standard places will do hummus or avocado on toast or sandwiches with a bit of salad. However, the outdoor area and cafe is nice for those that do not have any dietary limitations.

Great breakfast stop to aim for if you're just off an early morning ferry & heading west.

We ate here 2 days this weekend, friendly and attentive staff, lovely food will be back.
