The best restaurants

21/08/2026: All amazing! Cannot recommend enough!

20/08/2026: We stopped at Ann McDonald’s for breakfast on our way to Cork after reading some lovely reviews, and I’m so glad we decided to give it a try! The breakfast was cooked fresh and absolutely delicious, with lots of different options to choose from, including a vegetarian option for me and a whole pancake menu which the little ones loved. Anne was so lovely and accommodating, especially as my daughter has a very limited diet and would only eat chips. I explained this when we arrived and it was absolutely no problem at all. She was so understanding, and my daughter was very happy with her chips! Thank you, Anne, for such a lovely and welcoming visit. We’ll definitely call in again when we’re in the area!

05/08/2026: nice bookstore with very good vegan food!

05/08/2026: The Time Travellers Bookshop is a wonderful little café. Nicki is excellent at the helm, providing great service & tasty vegan food. I really enjoy going to this café, I can sip delicious coffee, relax and browse wonderful books in a charming atmosphere - what’s not to love!

06/09/2026: They have a nice selection of beers and other beverages, along with great outdoor seating. Unfortunately, the waiting time to get seated and served was very long, even though it wasn't packed.

06/09/2026: Big Menu and a lot of different drinks. Sadly the service was very slow, we waited 15 minutes until someone took our drinking order. We only ordered beer and they took another 10 minutes to arrive.

21/06/2026: Fantastic hotel. Very friendly staff in a great location, very walkable. Best buffet breakfast I’ve ever had. Would stay here again just for the food!

21/05/2026: Lovely stay at the Mespil. Great rooms and excellent breakfast. Quite location (15-20 minutes from centre) but plenty of great restaurants around.

05/09/2026: We first met in 2013 when we met in Ireland. We came to Waterford for a trip and our dinner at Emilianos really made an impression on us. Now, 13 years later, we returned for our honeymoon and our chosen restaurant couldn't have been anywhere else. Magnificent food, wonderful pasta and sauce, Luca's service was perfect, truly Italian, he was super attentive and fun. We hope to return many more times 🇮🇪🍝🥰

03/09/2026: A great traditional Italian with a large menu. Our meals were delicious and the staff were so friendly & helpful.

24/07/2026: Good product, but weird tense vibe in the place. Not exactly welcoming or friendly. (due to staff unfortunately) Feel sorry for the owner, you've been let down. I'm also a local business owner in the city and was enthusiastic about supporting your local business, but i'm not sure I'll come back after my first visit a few days ago. This sucks, because I don't know where else to get the unique product you sell from a bricks and mortar store in the city. I cant tell you how much I really wanted to like this place and how much money I would have spent there over time. I hate leaving reviews like this Good luck

12/07/2026: Lovely cafe very nice staff and very impressive cbd flower also they let my dog sit in with me which i thought was very nice of them.

25/08/2026: I’ve been here twice with family and they always accommodate large groups which is great, food is delicious and portions are huge

24/08/2026: My sister who is coeliac was able to eat here which was the reason we booked here. The food was absolutely delicious, especially since the dishes we picked were also dairy free! We also booked the day before and the restaurant was very accommodating. We'll be sure to come back when we're up in Dublin again.

27/08/2026: Absolutely delicious pizza! 🍕 It honestly tasted like authentic Neapolitan pizza. Highly recommend giving it a try! 🇮🇹❤️

25/08/2026: Brilliant pizza and great sides too. Lovely staff also, can’t recommend enough 👍🏼

28/07/2026: What an amazing organic restaurant and little shop. We had a delicious meal. Wonderful atmosphere and friendly people. All products are vegan and they taste delicious. Highly recommended and the prices are very affordable. Parking at a distance at a low rate. Animal-friendly restaurant... amazing.

26/07/2026: Wonderful meal, great food. Lovely staff. Lasagne was amazing, I want the pesto recipe. Tomato soup was really good, proper homemade. Real ingredients. Don’t leave food unattended or the birds will eat it.

08/09/2026: Very high-quality meals, friendly service. Good value for money overall. I'm glad I came here. The pancakes with bacon are really delicious! 😁🥞🍫

06/09/2026: Food is goated very juicy and flavourful, atmosphere was nice everyone seemed happy and service was great super kind and when they made a little mix up but they made up for.

27/08/2026: Terrible experience. I was first told they were fully booked, then seated because a reservation hadn’t shown up. I received no service, and when the original guests finally arrived, I was simply told to leave. If you’re still holding the table for a late reservation, don’t seat someone else there. Completely unprofessional and disrespectful.

26/08/2026: Delicious and full of flavor. The service is attentive without being intrusive as well. Thanks for looking after me :)

25/08/2026: A wonderful place. I visit regularly for breakfast, lunch or coffee and cake. ( especially pistachio cheesecake 🍰🥰) The menu is varied, and everything is delicious. You can really feel that the staff puts a lot of heart and hard work into this place. I’m always confident I’ll get tasty, high-quality food here. See you next time! 🙂

25/08/2026: The food was absolutely amazing!

24/08/2026: Great little pub. Great music. Great service. A lot of different beers on tap. Gets very busy after 5 pm, overflows onto the street.

23/08/2026: Very good beers and nice gigs, great selection of craft beers.

21/09/2025: Nice, little coffee truck. Great cappuccino!

13/09/2025: Great coffee, sweet location :)

09/08/2026: Super fun night at The Gallery. The food was just great, service so friendly and wine and vermouth - delicious. We loved the atmosphere and the community spirit. Can't wait to return.

08/08/2026: Good quality local and foreign products, including wines and an amazingly delicious selection of mostly Irish cheese. The owner made us feel very welcome by coming outside to meet us and to tell us more about the products, which then developed into a very nice conversation about all kinds of interesting topics. Overall, an excellent experience!
