Vee Bistro
Tramore
30/05/2026: Was here quite recently and the food is very meh. Not really worth the price. There was quite a wait but not terrible. I got the breakfast hash and it was just bad. Dry, no real flavour, and the little swirl of sauce was basically useless.
It was extremely loud Inside. The table beside us was basically shouting.
Not recommended honestly. Better areas nearby.
28/05/2026: Visited for breakfast on a Monday morning and had a really lovely experience. Sitting outside on a sunny day is definitely worth it — you have beautiful sea views on one side and a charming pedestrian street on the other. There is some street noise, but it still adds to the atmosphere rather than taking away from it.
The food was excellent. The healthy breakfast was really tasty and fresh, and the pancakes were delicious too. The portions are very generous — we actually had to pack the pancakes to take home. Great coffee, lovely atmosphere and a perfect spot to relax and enjoy breakfast.

27/04/2026: Absolutely superb. If you are in Waterford don’t miss this very special spot. You won’t be disappointed.
16/04/2026: We had a fantastic experience at Everett’s. We chose it for a birthday dinner and it did not disappoint.
The atmosphere was warm and relaxed, which made the evening feel really special without being overly formal. The food was excellent - well balanced, full of flavour and clearly made with care. Every dish felt thought through and enjoyable.
Service was attentive and friendly, without being intrusive. It made the whole experience even more comfortable.
Overall, a great place for a special occasion. We would definitely come back and highly recommend it.

Waterford Marina Hotel
Waterford
11/04/2026: Lovely hotel. Everything and everywhere was very clean and tidy. Staff very friendly. Liked the decor throughout the hotel, very fresh and modern. Bedroom was a good size and well decorated. Liked the coffee machine and that there was also a kettle. Breakfast was great, a good selection available. Gluten free bread was available on request. About a ten minute walk to the main shopping area.
16/03/2026: 10/10 experience. Walking distance from the Anderson’s Quay bus station (highly recommend Kavanaugh coach). Private and quiet location off the main street. Open your window to enjoy the birds in the morning. Friendly, fast welcome at check in. Tidy and unfussy room was very comfortable and spacious. Shower water pressure was next-level. Biscuits and tea was a lovely finish to a long day. Close walk to dining options. Royal Wok is delicious and right around the corner. Endless shops and High Street close by. So perfect, can’t wait to be back.

Waterford
28/11/2025: very cozy Cafe, LOVED THE HOMEMADE CHAI TEA!!! SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT! OMELETTE& SOUP WAS DELICIOUS!
27/10/2025: A very good place, the food was delicious and plentiful. The service was also very good.
It's a place I would recommend.
The only thing we didn't like was that they don't have very good ventilation, so if you eat inside, your clothes will smell like food afterwards.

Berkana Bakery
Waterford
28/07/2025: This cafe was amazing! My partner and I had the best oat milk latte and Mocha along with a delicious apple turnover (vegan)! They had a huge selection of on the menu of sandwiches, pizzas and sweet treats it was hard to pick just one thing so we took a few things away with us for home later. The staff were so lovely and helpful and overall it was just such a pleasant experience I can’t wait to go back!
24/07/2025: This place is a real gem! Delicious salads, sandwiches and meat and cheese boards (I’m looking at you gluten free folks) in a welcoming, clean, non-ostentatious environment. Because it’s a bakery everything is incredibly fresh! Oh and the baked goods are delicious.
