The best restaurants in Waterford

04/01/2026: Popped into here on 2nd January with family for lunch. Had the southern style chicken burger, which was outstanding. Thick juicy chicken breast with BBQ sauce, cheese, bacon and frizze onions, served with home made chips. Flavour was fantastic and the frizze onions added a nice bit of crunch. Washed down with a perfect pint of Guinness. Service was faultless and staff were friendly, polite and welcoming, will visit again.

04/01/2026: Right by the sea. Excellent breakfast spot.

25/10/2025: My room was right next door to the hotel. I didn't really feel like eating out that evening. I ordered takeout and was able to pick it up 10 minutes later. It would have been nice to sit inside, but I was just too worn out from the hurricane that had passed through that day. The portion of rice was huge, and the food was delicious.

26/06/2025: If I was to use one word to describe this place it would be “consistency”. Whether it’s a takeaway or dine in, every time the food and service have been top notch. Restaurant is small and intimate, with Thai themed decor throughout as expected. Very comfortable seating and very discrete attentive service. Prices are very reasonable also.

05/10/2025: The best place in waterford, the best Guinnes

31/05/2025: Decent authentic Victorian pub, not much craic from younger staff but that’s like most places nowadays, definitely worth a visit

18/11/2025: Beautiful restaurant with lovely food and very nice staff. Visited there today while visiting Waterford. I'll be back.

07/11/2025: We ate here yesterday. It was my first time eating here in over 18 months and I really enjoyed it. I had the Vegan Bap which was Brioche Bap which was slightly toasted with Halloumi Cheese, fried egg, avocado, lettuce, tomato and a nice relish on the side. I did apply all of the relish to my bun which was very tasty. This was so delicious - one of those times you make a noice when you eat because of the lovely taste. Afterwards we had a coffee and the Tunisian orange cake which was very light but very tasty indeed. Service was excellent and it was quiet enough to talk. I look forward to returning.

02/01/2026: Overall, the food was not great. Most dishes came out, colder incorrect, and had to be remain. The oysters were the only thing that was worthwhile. Other than that you have an inexperienced kitchen and a wait staff, too worried about their tip and not about the customers experience.

28/12/2025: We really enjoyed it. The view was spectacular, the staff were very friendly, and the food was amazing.

10/01/2026: Nice food, friendly staff 🙂 Tagliatelle & Prawns with Parmesan
