The best restaurants in Waterford

15/06/2025: Great hotel, big comfy bed, nice bathroom, friendly helpful staff. The only disappointment was that the breakfast could be better quality tastier products. Deserves more than its 3 star rating

21/04/2025: Clean room for £80 per night, friendly staff and the location couldn’t be better. The hotel could do with a bit of renovation etc but it’s more than reflected in the price!

13/10/2024: A mocha on a take away cup when I’m sitting in the cafe ? I asked and he told me all mochas go in a take away cup! We have sat in 4 times in just this years and never received a mocha in a coffee cup while sitting down !!! Wdaf !!! Cannot taste the Belgian chocolate like I did yday or any other day I sat in or took away! Got a mocha yday and it tasted way better and more chocolate flavour like I have received every other time in here! The guy clearly wasn’t happy or confused my partner went up to complain! Useless custowmrs service! Very slow at cleaning up after other customers! We had to clear our own table!

22/09/2024: Unusual ist in the door on Sunday morning. Superised to see crumbs on chairs tables and floor unsweepted for Saturday trading

06/09/2025: I liked the kebab here, large portion, price in line with the order.

19/07/2025: Avoid using the "old website" because it's still active, and you can place an order, but it won't go through. They'll take your money, and you won't get anything. When I had this problem, the employee wasn't helpful at all. They didn't offer to assist with my order or try to fix the issue. At least remove the website if u don't use it. Use less people

23/06/2025: Amazing staff. They make one of the most filling good value burger deals in town. It is in an ideal location for shops and has indoor and outdoor sitting. They make a decent coffee and tea too. Cannot go wrong with Blackrock Café! Locals can be seen outside of the Café on sunny days and for good reason. Great and friendly staff. Good value for money and an ideal location, what is not to love!

23/03/2025: for a cafe they have very good food. they do a bit of everything and nice cakes. it's owned by a palestinian family i believe so if you want to show support for them it's the place to go🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸! the staff are friendly also its called jacoub's now not blackrock

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. 🥢🔥

21/07/2025: Nice experience , you can get mostly all grocery , spices & nice shop

18/08/2025: Good wholesome food and reasonably priced. Had a good sized vegan burrito for 12 euro Friendly helpful staff Ate here a few times and would go again

08/08/2025: The corn gluten free 6 inch tacos were delicious. Service was quick. The interior seating was comfortable. Overall, it's good value for money.

14/07/2025: Sorry to say but the kebab just the worst ever .. Would hard to belive to selling that meat to customers..Fully loaded with ketchup .. The meat was like leftover don't know how was heated up but taste like very tired oil from depp fryer or dirty grill.. So sad.. Never again..

20/03/2025: Can’t understand the high reviews here. It’s almost €6 more than my local chipper for a burger and chips. Food is just below average, they skimp on the cheese for cheese chips and the burger was pathetic for the price

31/08/2025: The restaurant was busy, the server wasn't a bit friendly, obviously didn't need a tip,we even had to ask again for our drinks, we both ordered different eggs benedicts, neither were great, I evhad a bad taste in my mouth for a while afterwards. When i went to pay the man who was at the till walked away and left me standing for a few minutes. There was one young girl who was working hard, cleaning tables and running around, and being friendly, apart from her everyone else could go on a course for customer service. Hopefully she will go far.

14/08/2025: Surprisingly slow with service. Underwhelmed.

30/07/2025: Best prawn cracker, shrimp toast and black bean beef in Ireland!!! ❤️❤️ amazing service. Thank you!

20/06/2025: I wanted to share some feedback following a recent visit/order. I appreciate the effort that goes into running a restaurant, but unfortunately, the overall quality of food was extremely low. Dishes tasted bland and lacked the freshness I was hoping for. The flavours didn’t quite match the standards I’ve come to expect from Chinese cuisine—there was little seasoning and ingredients did not taste fresh, covered with a lot of sauce. I’m sharing this not to criticize harshly, but in the hope that this feedback is helpful. I believe with more attention to freshness, flavour, and seasoning, your offerings could improve significantly and match the prices you are charging. Thank you for taking the time to read this—I wish your team all the best moving forward.

06/07/2025: Cud do with bigger kebabs, better mix of veg, cook the meat more (almost crispy) & less sauce. Reasonably tasty tho😄

18/04/2025: I bought potatoes, 5 euros a portion, the potatoes were very tasteless, bitter, they don't change the oil, it's impossible to eat, I threw it all out, I won't buy there anymore

10/09/2025: Kind staff, has an upstairs seating which I love and I always come for the berry refresher, wish they’d supply more of that pasta though, but it’s amazing and I’d recommend going for a quiet place to relax and hang out or to get some work done.

02/08/2025: Under staffed and those that were on were dirty looking and rude. Cappuccinos are served with chocolate. Don’t act as if it’s an inconvenience! Tables filthy. Would not use the toilets as manky.

20/08/2025: Great food excellently prepared and served

15/08/2025: Food was delicious, portions are massive, one portion would be enough for 2 people! Staff are so polite too

26/07/2025: Order here maybe once a month. Food arrives when they say it will, it's tasty. Lady on the phone is always pleasant. A great service when you're just not in the mood to cook.

14/07/2025: Partner has nut allergy and had reaction to food that has no nuts in it. Food hygiene must be improved. Simply NOT ACCEPTABLE.

08/07/2025: Friendly staff and very nice pizza 🍕
