The Grattan
Waterford
11/11/2025: Delicious and generous portions, incredibly friendly staff. We're staying in Waterford for a year and we'll be going back several times throughout the year!
I highly recommend the bacon-cabbage.
31/10/2025: The Grattan Bar in Waterford is an absolute gem. The food was fantastic — full of flavour and had that real home-cooked feeling you rarely find these days. The service was excellent, and we were served by the lovely couple who own the place — they couldn’t have been friendlier or more welcoming.
They were also incredibly accommodating, even allowing us to bring our dog inside for dinner in a separate room — something that’s very hard to find.
And the Guinness — absolutely top class! Creamy, smooth, and without that bitter aftertaste you get in many other bars. One of the nicest pints I’ve had in Ireland.
Overall, one of the best spots for bar food and a proper pint — warm atmosphere, amazing hosts, and delicious food. Highly recommended!

The Reg
Waterford
04/11/2025: Some spot had a night out with a good few of the lads was serious craic
27/10/2025: The place has a great location. Unfortunately, the starter was disappointing, the bruschetta needs a lot of improvement. The potatoes were not bad, but the worst was the banoffee. It had too much cream, almost no caramel and zero banana. Not recommended.

Revolution
Waterford
08/11/2025: The barman was very accommodating and welcoming. Great selection of whiskey and some craft beer on tap.
05/11/2025: Loved this place and its owner. I cannot believe that our server remembered my sister from her visit in August, now that's service!
I had a delicious burger cooked perfectly with a nice creamy pour. When I'm back in Ireland, I'll definitely return here.

Granville Hotel
Waterford
09/11/2025: They did not get their 4 stars for nothing. A gem of a hotel.
01/11/2025: Went to the Granville Hotel for a Graduation Celebration in October 2025. Everything was exceptional. The food was delicious, and very reasonably priced. The staff were friendly, helpful, courteous. They had several Gluten Free options. And they were great with a child that was with our party. I would highly recommend.

Vee Bistro
Tramore
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.
28/10/2025: Service was very slow. They had no white bread left and the toasted ham and cheese sandwich was also sold out at 2pm on a Tuesday afternoon. Coffee (Americano) was weak and didn't taste good. Pancakes (2 of us ordered the Canadian Stack) tasted like they were made from a mix. Crispy bacon was nice. Maple syrup, good but scarce. We were seated by the door, and it was freezing as it was left open by most people going in and out. I asked if we could be moved as there was a larger table further back. Server said they might need that if a larger group came in, so basically we were less important than customers who hadn't even materialised!!
They don't care about repeat custom maybe?
We are disappointed as we love going to the Seagull Bakery and wanted to try this place out as its so nearby. We won't be going back.
