The best restaurants 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!
