The best restaurants in Waterford

25/04/2026: Delicious food, very attentive and friendly people. Highly recommended. We could hardly choose from so many tasty things! We enjoyed ourselves immensely. The atmosphere in the restaurant is amazing.

09/04/2026: Only the (limited?) bar food menu was available at 3:30 PM; still a good selection of dishes. The Caesar Salad and Fish and Chips were excellent.

02/08/2026: Great place to come with friends, good atmosphere, great variety on the menu and they have cocktail offers

31/07/2026: Had a great few hours here trying all kinds of Irish whiskeys we had never heard of. Adam and Lee were both delightful bartenders. Great recommendations and also honest un-recommendations. We will be back!

15/07/2026: Perfect authentic but modern, clean place, it was simply perfect, the service, the small fox in the morning who get food was sooo lovely, the waitress was lovely also. Perfect place, perfect breakfast. Thank you

15/07/2026: Surprised by how good the rhubarb porridge was! Lovely spot for a little bite and really friendly staff :)

25/06/2026: Arrived at the Moorings, early for a 3pm (2pm) booking, and we were accommodated with a table for 3. Service was prompt, professional and friendly. Food was amazing and reasonable for the three of us. Thanks very much, we will be back again soon. Lively but not over the top.

15/06/2026: Myself and the wife popped in for our birthday dinner..never fails to disappoint...steak was fabulous...service fantastic...hats off to darren and all the staff as it was very busy...see ye all soon again.

17/06/2026: A great location, right on the water and within easy walking distance of all the attractions in the Viking triangle. Good food in the bar downstairs.

01/06/2026: This hotel is situated a few minutes walk from the city center, that is a plus. Staff is very friendly and helpful, also a big plus. The rooms have no air-conditioning so if you have a room in the back, above the parking lot, a lot of noise from cars, the kitchen and the music from weddings that take place inside that is a minus

04/08/2026: Jack Meade’s Pub was one of the highlights of our time in Ireland! We started with dinner, and the lasagna was absolutely delicious—comfort food at its best. After dinner, we headed upstairs for an evening of entertainment with Tom, and it was fantastic. He had everyone laughing, singing along, and enjoying the music. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of great craic, as the Irish say! From the wonderful food to the lively entertainment and friendly vibe, Jack Meade’s Pub delivered a memorable Irish pub experience. If you’re looking for great food, wonderful music, and a fun night out, this is the place to go. We’d happily return the next time we’re in Ireland!

03/08/2026: Fabulous spot away from it all. Food and service Fabulous 👌. Kids playground, some historic buildings and a wildlife trail on a tidal river. Definitely would recommend.

01/08/2026: Amazing staff, good vibes and good food. Has everything you need.

23/07/2026: We waited almost 45 minutes for some pretty basic orders. The food was decent but service was below average.

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

08/07/2026: I was walking to the shop when I was approached by some lovely American tourists, they asked me if there was somewhere they could get food, so I suggested Barron's Bakery and when I saw them later on they said thank you for the recommendation, they had one of the best meals they've had in Ireland so far! So if that doesn't tell you how wonderful Barron's Bakery is I don't know what else to say👍🏼😁💜

06/06/2026: Always a great place for breakfast or lunch.

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.

16/08/2026: Had a 2 coffees here this morning. Everything that Rip off ireland is about. 7.50 for two half cups. Its only Tramore lads. We're not in D4..

27/06/2026: High quality & delicious food. I wish this place was in my town!

12/08/2026: Prime steak rare is served cold and full of nerves. Pubs looks great but that's all.

09/08/2026: A great location in Waterford in a historic building. There's a lovely rooftop terrace with views of the river. The food and service is great.

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

28/08/2026: The fresh jam dounuts are to die for

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

17/07/2026: Had a delicious vanilla matcha with oat milk, the strawberry matcha was really good too!

16/08/2026: Food was delicious, I am celiac and was happy to enjoy a very good gluten free burger (the meat was perfectly cooked). They also adapted to my friends diet (removing cheese from pizza / burger).

08/08/2026: Randomly walked in without checking the reviews, and was very happy we did. The pizza was very tasty, had that woodfired oven taste going for it, and the southern chicken waffles were great too. Place was busy but the service was good.
