The Grattan
Waterford
11/01/2026: Very warm and welcoming atmosphere. They really go above and beyond for their customers and it shows. We stopped by while it was raining out for a bit of food before our train and was greeted with nothing but kindness. We had the wings and soup, and they also prepared a toastie on request. 10/10 would recommend.
05/01/2026: The place is nice, the food is homemade, and the atmosphere is pleasant. The worst thing is that the owner is quite intrusive; he talks a lot and takes too many liberties, in my opinion. The lady, however, is very friendly.

Shamrock
Dungarvan
29/11/2025: Went to Shamrock for breakfast and lunch two days in a row because it’s that good. Great portion sizes, good value, friendly owners, and the fish and chips are excellent, the fish is so fresh.
I’ll definitely be making a return!
21/11/2025: Without question, the Shamrock has the best breakfast/fry up in Dungarvan and an excellent menu overall.
The staff are always absolutely lovely and the atmosphere is always comfortable and welcoming. On many a day, a chat with a few locals is often likely and it's always a pleasure.
Excellent food, lovely place and one of the nicest places to spend some time.
A must for anyone passing through and a lovely treat if you're local.

The Local
Dungarvan
01/01/2026: Very disappointed given an expired bottle of beer. Served by man who was not very happy about us having just a drink saying it was not done anymore but we didn’t want to eat so just got money back and once my husband finished his pint we went & had drinks in the anchor bar close by which was very welcoming.
31/12/2025: Dropped into The Local for some food and was not disappointed - good food - really good service and stayed for the music - fabulous singer backed by a really excellent group of musicians - good pints too! I would highly recommend

Vee Bistro
Tramore
05/12/2025: The food here is phenomenal. Staff are wonderful. Super friendly and super helpful! If you're in the area go and eat here you won't regret it.
01/11/2025: Stopped in Vee Cafe for a quick breakfast/brunch during the half term and it was superb. Despite being absolutely rammed the staff were attentive and speedy in taking our order and answering questions.
The food itself took time to arrive, understandably given that every table was full once we sat down. We had the peanut butter porridge, a full breakfast, and a half breakfast all of which were excellent verging on perfect I have to say in all aspects: taste, presentation and value.

The Sweep
04/01/2026: Popped into here on 2nd January with family for lunch. Had the southern style chicken burger, which was outstanding. Thick juicy chicken breast with BBQ sauce, cheese, bacon and frizze onions, served with home made chips. Flavour was fantastic and the frizze onions added a nice bit of crunch. Washed down with a perfect pint of Guinness. Service was faultless and staff were friendly, polite and welcoming, will visit again.
21/12/2025: Great food and service 5 star worthy
