The best restaurantsof irish in Waterford

06/01/2026: Went for a work night out at Christmas. We go every year as the food has always been good. 4 of our party ordered steak. 3 medium. Steaks were tiny and all were well done and quite tough. In fairness it would be hard to do them any other way they were so thin. Other than that there no complaints.

02/01/2026: Popped in here for a quick drink on New Year's day. Lovely pint. Barman was very friendly

15/03/2026: Stunning restaurant, food was amazing. The team there last night were superb, friendly, organised and so welcoming. The decor is spot on and the wine extensive. When back in the area this will be our place to go. Thank you once again to all the team!

17/01/2026: My first time at The Pier, It was outstanding, Fabulous Menu, The Food was so delicious, The Staff were amazing, Restaurant is so cozy, Can't wait to return x

25/10/2025: Staff and proprietor courtious and friendly

04/12/2025: We visited this waterfront restaurant recently and really enjoyed our experience. It has a beautiful outside terrace, perfect for enjoying the fresh air and the stunning sea views. The atmosphere is very warm, quiet and relaxing—ideal for a family dinner. The food was tasty, well-presented. Overall, it’s a lovely place to unwind, spend quality time with family, and enjoy a nice meal by the water. Highly recommended!

12/10/2025: Michelin star quality food. Generous portions. Great variety menus. Prompt efficient and friendly service. Scenic sea views Hidden gem- cannot recommend highly enough

02/02/2026: Disappointing visit. The place looks tired and in need of a serious refresh, and there was absolutely no atmosphere. Not somewhere I’d rush back to.Food was good

18/01/2026: Very nice lunch. Friendly service and reasonable price. Will ve back.

19/02/2026: Supposed to be a pub but it's just a restaurant, was much better the way it was a few years ago ☹

15/11/2025: Excellent night, Craic and fun all night Food was fabulous 👌🏼

10/02/2026: What a neat little spot! A nice simple menu, nothing too fancy, but done really well! Brussel sprout soup and vege toasted sandwich was delicious. Had a bite of the blaa as well which resulted in massive food envy! The curry was also delicious but beans were a bit undercooked for my liking.

31/12/2025: The food isn’t as nourishing and healthy as they claim. Most of the stuff from the menu is deep fried and the sourdough toast was rock hard. The coffee wasn’t tasty either. Kids menu is not healthy at all. Overrated and overpriced for what they provide.

06/01/2026: A must go to great place right in the heart of the town

18/12/2025: Well done to Lauren on her great service on a busy Christmas night. She was brilliant

11/01/2026: We stayed as a large group split over three apartments. It was perfect. Very friendly, central location and comfortable.

22/11/2025: Sorry but, not for me, room small, extremely noisy, other guests arriving back very late, and could hear every sound. Went to boil kettle, to find it half full with dirty cloudy water. Self service breakfast cold. Even though cost is low, I still expect good clean basic service.

12/10/2025: Excellent tapas, friendly staff in the lovely lismore definitely worth a visit if passing through like I was ..... Food was fantastic 5 ⭐

26/09/2025: Kinda weird. They sat us down in the dining room. An empty room, nobody was there. Took our drinks orders, gave us menus. We were ready to go. Then they told us the kitchen wasn’t open…

01/11/2025: I don’t know why this hotel has such a low rating… The rooms were good… The staff were phenomenal. Sure it is a bit dated but that adds to the charm. I only request would be for them to add beans back onto the breakfast menu.

13/10/2025: Excellent service so near everything

13/03/2026: Place is spotless can’t fault that , but the standard of food is gone downhill We won’t be back again

07/03/2026: Came in to order on a not busy afternoon, the place literally only myself and a couple were having meals. It took them almost 30 minutes to get the food ready while I could see the staff were standing there, talking and joking. Even though, the food was really nice but the waiting time is unacceptable.

03/08/2025: Good food but a very sparse place. A lot of choice though

26/07/2025: If this Chinese takeaway was any better, I’d propose to it. Every single dish is very good, crispy, flavorful, and made with so much care. Myself and my wife were here for holiday staying in the Fitz caravan park. I have to say, the bad reviews of this place here on google is so fake. Otherwise there has been huge improvement because i couldnt recommend this place enough. The crispy chilli beef absolutely beautiful with a perfect balanced between sweet, spicy, and crunchy. The salt and chilli chips are so addictive. Portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the owner and counter girls are such genuine beautiful people always chatty and friendly and carry a smile that could cure depression. The food arrives piping hot, even when delivered, and every bite tastes like it was made fresh because it was. If you haven’t tried this place yet, you’re doing yourself a disservice. It’s not just the best Chinese takeaway in town it’s the kind of place that ruins all other takeaways for you. 10/10, no notes, just pure deliciousness. 🥢🔥

07/01/2026: Had veggie wrap and side salad. V tasty Generous portion

06/11/2025: Nice cafe with pleasant atmosphere, good coffee and scones. Slightly irritated by the flickering exit sign and the slamming door but maybe I’m a bit too OCD.
