The best restaurants

07/07/2026: Lovely girl served us yesterday, iced Mocha's were fab too 😊

22/03/2026: All staff are so friendly and helpful. Coffee and food delicious. Plenty to see and do in this Mall and Starbucks is a must.☕

15/08/2026: Great tasting but totally overpriced. Nearly 18€ for a pizza so tiny for take out? You’ve priced me off for good. Banana and fork in photo for scale.

08/08/2026: Nice pizza after a lovely swim at the Seapoint beach on the weekend

24/07/2026: I've had pizza from here a few times now and it's always been great!

28/06/2026: Popped in here for chips last week and they were extremely bad, super bland and soggy even right out of the fryer, the place also had a bunch of flies flying around the area you order which was seriously concerning.. efficient service hence the 2 stars but I wouldn’t rush back.

08/06/2026: Best coffee and pastry I've ever had in Waterford

26/03/2026: I'll start off with the owner has the right to refuse I currently drive from Kildare one day a week to see my old man in hospital so juggling with a remote work day and pop on or out a few times. Not the story just context. I'm doing a few hours in coffee shops and have used blackfriars as coffees decent and bright space. The female barista has been so nice. I stay about 3 hours or so, emails and calls you know what most remote humans do Spend normally about 20+ quid each time for the past 4 or 5 weeks, today maybe 14-15 quid. I normally get a bap too. Arrived at 10:15 ish left 1:45 ish. I was leaving today and what looks like the owner told me "you're not welcome to use the shop as an office" I may have been loud while on a call which ok I get, but could have ask me to stop or be quieter, but he went straight to "you're not welcome" I find it mad as the shop is not that busy and light on customers sitting in most days. He didn't ask the screaming 3 year old they are running riot, they are not welcome, or the couple screaming with laugher... I probably spent the same if not more than them. OTT move tbh. Pity your staff are sound, coffee decent and was helpful as I juggle work and seeing my dad. Quiet a sad little man. I'm better off.

27/06/2026: the floors was sticky, the birds was stankin, the pints wer scuttery. Carling with no head and grannies with no teeth.

02/08/2026: Good burgers and chips serviced fast, only slight complaint ice machine broke

17/07/2026: Very noticeable shrinkflation!! Terrible chicken breast sandwich, thin, salty.. and with less sauce at the SAME price. This was our mandatory stop each time we go to Tipperary.. We looked forward to enjoying a thick & juicy chicken burger .. Very disappointed today.

21/07/2026: I was at the Stella Maris tonight and to say it was disappointing is an understatement. A party of 7 (2 paying adults though) and the food selection was nothing extravagant. Chicken and chips 🍟 (3 adults), lasagne (adult 4) and 3 kids meals. €11 for the roast breast but for an adult the same chicken is €18. Out comes the serving and the chicken is very lonely on the plate. Nothing else initially but then comes "sides" of chips. Not a mains portion in my opinion. You'd pay €6 less per head elsewhere such as Naughtons Yard and equally as good there. To describe it was a rip off is apt as it was nearly €20 (for 4 of the party of 7) more expensive than an alternative which was better for 5 of the party of 7 the night before. Never again will I go there for food. As I stated to the barman (give a customer value and they come back. Exploit them and you lose far more custom long term. He was offended I might just tell him give customers value for money through better portions or reduce the prices.

29/06/2026: One night at this Hotel was all I need to escape my daily routine ❤️ Receptionists were friendly and helpful. Shouts to Aishling, Leisure Centre Operations Administrator. Would love to visit again 🇩🇿 absolutely worth it

28/06/2026: So disappointed with the service. We had to wait 1 hour in the check in at 3pm as the room weren't ready (so the check in was at 4pm). It seems it was a confusion with the guests but they call me the day before to confirm it. Please avoid the bar and restaurant. We went with 2 kids (1 year and 4 years) for dinner and we had to wait for 1 hour (I'm not lying here) for terrible and cold food. If I were you just book to go to the swimming pool only as it is the best part of the hotel.
