The best restaurants in Waterford

17/09/2026: Unfortunately, I had a very disappointing experience at Domino’s Waterford. The staff member I dealt with was quite rude and seemed uninterested in taking my order. I understand that it can be a busy environment, but I expected basic politeness and better customer service. I hope the management can look into this and improve the customer experience.

15/08/2026: Lovely hotel but room to improve. Location is brilliant, staff are lovely. Decor is really nice. There were a lot of spiders, in bedroom, Bar and the outdoor seating area has a lot. Room size was great, really loved the river view. The bed was a little hard but fine. Fan in the room for the hot weather, we had to leave the window open all night and woke up to seagulls which I didn't mind. Food was lovely, had the salmon with veg, it was very well cooked. The cocktails are really good. I was given a glass with someone else's lipstick stain on it but they changed it for me.

21/07/2026: Got married here and I could not be happier with the night. The food was excellent. Usually wedding food isn't great, but this was absolutely not the case here. The starter and mains were loved by everyone. All but one of the dishes on the whole menu were gluten free also, we had a few celiacs so it was nice that they had plenty to choose from. Special thank you to Chris for his incredible work in helping the day go smoothly. He was excellent from start to finish. Highly recommend

22/08/2026: My boyfriend and I visited Bardoe Pizza this evening and had a really disappointing experience. We arrived before another family and sat down since there were menus on the tables and no staff greeted us or explained a system. While we were reading the menu, a family of four arrived after us, spoke briefly to staff, and sat down. I went up to order and was told they were sold out. When I pointed out that we’d been there first, the staff member looked at the family, asked how many of them would be dining and then told me, “yeah, sorry, they asked first.” That was the part that I found really frustrating. The family hadn’t even ordered yet, but because they’d spoken to staff first, they were given priority over us, who had actually arrived first. I totally understand a small place selling out, that’s fair enough. But what I don’t accept is a lack of clear system. If customers need to, declare they’re dining in the moment they walk through the door, then someone should actually explain that. We ended up leaving without any dinner despite arriving first. Very disappointing and not an experience I’d recommend.

26/07/2026: Best pizza in Waterford , If your in the area defo give it a try wont be disappointed 5 stars for me

19/05/2026: Luggage service was provided at check-in and check-out. Changing rooms was no problem, as we were unable to use the stairs due to mobility issues. Breakfast was excellent and the service throughout was superb. Best regards, Beate and Marie

18/05/2026: Stayed here with my parents to celebrate my mother's 80th birthday. The team couldn't do enough for them, everyone was so friendly and helpful. Ross carried all their luggage from the car to their room - both parents have walking sticks. Leanne was also a smiling helpful lady. Karen our waitress had such a lovely way with her and kept the one liners coming which charmed my parents. They love the banter! The rooms were fantastic, comfortable, well appointed and recently refurbished. The supervisor at breakfast was excellent too, we didn't catch his name but he was another real asset. We caught him about to head out to the car with my parents luggage in the rain, just stopped him in time - we had coats he didn't! This has got to be the friendliest hotel in ireland! Well done everyone, you aced the customer journey 👏🏻

28/09/2026: Nice food, good amount of salt on anything u order , pizza is really nice and one of the workers refilled my bag of chips 🍟😋

11/09/2026: I really enjoy the Costomer service and most especially the food. This is where I get most of my Dinner. Shoutout to the Lads at the kitchen

05/09/2026: I’d live inside the cafe as if it was my own living room cause it’s sooooo cozy! Got a simple breakfast to start the day 😄 bro on the till super friendly and the ginger gal made me a delicious oat decaf mocha. Croissant was also fresh and tasty. There are sits inside and outside and it’s dog friendly place.

13/08/2026: Friendly staff and excellent coffee!

31/08/2026: Had dinner and dessert in the restaurant yesterday. Could not fault it .piping hot ..staff was lovely. 10 out of 10

14/08/2026: Our visit to Dungarvan was excellent, and our lunch (fish dish and carrot cake/lemon pie) was delicious and plentiful. The welcome and service were very pleasant, provided by attentive staff. We highly recommend this restaurant.

18/08/2026: Baked goods are amazing in here, a real treat 🙂. We tried the almond croissant, cinnamon bun, brownie & their sourdough loaf - all delicious. Only downside is their coffee - unfortunately, it was very bland on the flavour and they burnt the milk for the flat whites we ordered, giving us a very weak, very milky frothy mess 🥴, bit of a let down given the quality of their baking. Seating is limited, it's just a few stools and high bar along the wall, so come and grab the pastries/breads for take away 👍

04/08/2026: Best bakery in the south east! Sausage rolls and coffee are perfect

24/09/2026: Its a lovely store, always clean and pleasant staff.

03/09/2026: While they had updated the shelving, it looks old and certainly not in keeping with a modern store.
