The best restaurantsof irish in 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!

15/10/2025: Food was good not great, portion size very good, standard frozen chips and goujons were very dry and tastless. Service was great fast and efficient.

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.

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.

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.

24/09/2025: Great food,Rich flavours.No fuss Any other city and you could expect to pay double for what is being produced here. The breads alone are a talking point. 10/10

04/11/2025: Some spot, nice grub. Change chicken curry never fails. Love it.

28/11/2025: People generally enjoying themselves. Service was poor at bar including manager who couldn’t be bothered. Food was very late and cold. Many empty tables despite the excuse being “very busy”. About average for a corporate tourist trap.

26/11/2025: In connection with our visit to Guinness Storehouse, we decided to have our lunch here. It did not disappoint 😁 the food was just delicious and tasty 😁 recommend to visit here for some food. Of course we had a Guinness beer to go along our food 🍺👍

17/11/2025: Updated: Your explanation is extremely dismissive and does not reflect what actually happened. The receptionist initially “kindly” allowed me to charge my phone in the lobby. If she genuinely felt this was inappropriate or that we should have moved to the bar area, she should have said so from the start. Instead, she returned after a couple of minutes and made a comment that was unnecessary, offensive, and discriminatory “Our guests want to feel safe when they stay here.” This implied that my sister and I were somehow a threat, despite sitting quietly and doing nothing wrong. To claim this was due to a language barrier is absurd, she spoke exceptionally well, and her words were clear. This was not a misunderstanding,it was an inappropriate and offensive comment. A vague apology for my “distress” completely fails to address the seriousness of what occurred. Framing this as a procedural issue is dismissive, insulting and an outright joke. The response you provided is a disgrace. As a company, you should be ashamed of yourselves for trying to dismiss and downplay blatant discrimination and offensive behaviour. I expect the hotel to acknowledge the gravity of this situation and take meaningful action to ensure no other guest experiences such treatment. Anything less is unacceptable. Initial review: Unfortunately, I had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. Although my encounter with the receptionist was brief, it left a lasting negative impression. Last week, while waiting for my bus back to Dublin outside the hotel, my phone had died, so I went into the lobby and politely asked the receptionist if I could charge it. She agreed, and I plugged it in. Not even two minutes later, she approached me and said, “Our guests want to feel safe when they stay here,” before asking my sister and I to leave. We were simply sitting quietly in the lobby, charging my phone, and doing absolutely nothing wrong. To be treated this way and racially profiled in 2025 is honestly disgraceful. Because I can guarantee that if I didn’t have the skin colour I have, things would have never unfolded the way they did. Her comment about guests wanting to feel safe made it seem as if we were some kind of threat which is honestly deeply offensive. What danger could we possibly have posed by simply charging a phone? I would never expect such discriminatory behaviour from any hospitality staff.
