The best restaurants in Waterford

09/08/2025: Food is good but waiting time will kill you for sure . Takeaway is quicker than dine in and very good value .

06/07/2025: Had a takeaway dish: house special fried rice. The food was delicious and generous in quantity. Had the chance to pluck it up from the restaurant and the ambience of the place made me wish I chose to eat in, instead. Stunning! Would recommend an in-person visit

12/08/2025: We waited over an hour for our food, and when it finally arrived, the chicken burger was falling apart and tasted awful. We politely asked for a refund, but could hear staff speaking negatively about us in the kitchen afterwards. Very disappointing experience — both the food quality and customer service need serious improvement. Would not recommend.

29/06/2025: Cafè Aroma Kilbarry Shopping Centre. Conveniently located at The Kilbarry Centre with all the car parking one will expect in a supermarket / shopping complex. It is worth noting that there are 2 cafes here, one is located inside the supermarket, but Cafe Aroma is an independent one located along the front of the centre. A compact premises, but tastefully decorated in Contemporary vibrant manner ensuring it is both practical and functional. They have maximised their seating capacity very well, with seating inside and outside, and all tables are square (ideal for two) but this allows them to put them together or separate them on demand to create multiple seating options in a compact environment. This is a busy spot at peak times, but it has a good feel to it. Comfortable yet efficient, although at peak times (if you have any decency) you shouldn't really occupy your table for longer than necessary if seating is at capacity. I have seen people sit there reading their phones or taking up a table while sipping on a coffee for an extended period while staff try to cater for incoming customers. This is a pet hate of mine, not just here, but anywhere. Of course the staff will never make you feel that you have outstayed your welcome, but when in a popular spot like this, with limited capacity, and high demand, a little bit of courtesy doesn't go astray. Everything is spotless, absolutely no comments to make here regarding cleanliness. Definitely up to and beyond expected standards. The Service here is incredibly efficient, they have it set up well, and you will be seated, and served in a prompt manner. The staff are very adept at turning tables around quickly and maximising potential. Worth noting that several staff have worked here for quite a while, which would give the impression of a happy workplace, which shines though in the service they deliver. The Full breakfast here is great. The quality of the food is top class, well cooked and plenty of it absolutely no complaints. The toilets are not actually located in the cafe, but you must leave and go in the exit door from the supermarket where the toilets are located. Obviously not feasible to have them within the cafe due to space limitations, but worth noting if you need to pay a visit, try to make one before or after your food. The only observation i would make, and it could be the legs of the chairs, or maybe the floor had been recently cleaned / polished but the chairs had a tendency to slip very easily on the floor, which happened to me when i sat down and the chair slid away from me as I did so, I did make me wonder if an older person of restricted mobility did this there is potential danger of the chair sliding away from them as they take their seat. Maybe this was a one off. I’ll check again in the future.

02/09/2025: Amazing orange scone and cinnamon roll. Highly recommended

14/08/2025: Cofee is nice Got a few pastries here unfortunately the crossaints were very chewy ,also I had a few takeaway pastries girl behind the counter squashed all in one bag, not the most pleasant service to be honest I find the store in dunmore is way better , friendly staff the girl that served me out there she had put all different cakes and pastries in little boxes way nicer to deal with ,pitty

24/08/2025: Great pub. We stayed here 1 night upstairs - really good. Can watch EPL and other sports here too

07/08/2025: A real highlight at the start of our Ireland tour. We spent two wonderful evenings at John's pub, "Downey's." If you're looking for great live music (thanks to Joe Power and Mo O'Connor), friendly people, and good Guinness, Downey's is highly recommended.

02/08/2025: Breakfast until 11:45, followed by lunch. A lovely, cozy ambiance with black and brown wood. The white ceiling, however, doesn't quite fit. The service was very friendly and accommodating. The food was plentiful, well-presented, and delicious. Everything, including the breakfast, was rather hearty.
