The best restaurants in Waterford

08/03/2025: You really know how to combine flavors! Not just the obvious ones. Today's brussel sprout salad was fantastic! Crunchy tangy sweet and perfectly dressed with a mustard dressing. And reasonably priced too

21/02/2025: Wow, beetroot salad was amazing. Added chicken was also incredible. Very solid, a lot of flavors, feeling but light. Would definitely come back again if I have a chance.

07/05/2025: This historic hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of all the pubs and shopping in Waterford. It is family operated and the service is impeccable! After checking out, I realized I left my Waterford crystal glasses in my room ($$). Fiona, from the front desk personally walked them to the Waterford show room and I was able to ship them home. Amazing service and honesty from this historic hotel. While the rooms are quaint, the hotel bar, food service, and beautifully decorated lobby made me greatly appreciate this fine hotel.

10/04/2025: There were 5 of us that stayed here at the Granville Hotel. All I can say is that it was just lovely! if I am ever able to visit Ireland again, I will definitely stay here again. The hotel, the rooms, the staff the food and all of the historical sites were fabulous!! Thank you all at the Granville Hotel!

06/05/2025: Ardemore is a lovely village- great views at hotel and dinner was wonderful

05/05/2025: Came upon this hotel during the May bank holiday.We just wanted to go somewhere nice for lunch while in Waterford.The hotel looks beautiful,stunning setting and amazing sea views.We were seated inside as it was a bit cooler outside being near the sea and it was breezy. The food was pricey,my husband ordered a glass off sauvignaun blanc wine and it cost €15 rather expensivefor a glass of wine!.We ordered our food,it was lovely but my husband ordered the fish pie and fish & chips came out.When my husband said he didn't order this,the waitress did apologise but said there would be a 20 minute wait if he wanted what he had ordered as the order dockets must have gotten mixed up and we already were waiting 20 mins for the food to arrive anyway which was fine but to wait another 20 mins and for what you ordered was a bit to much so he accepted the fish and chips.For the duration of our stay not one member of staff approached to ask was everything OK did we need anything else,nothing.When we finished our plates were still just left infront of us while we waited and hoped to order dessert.It was busy but not so much they didn't have staff,there appeared to be a sufficient number of staff but we observed people sitting down to tables uncleaned from the previous guests for quiet some time before staff approached to clean them,especially the outdoor sittings,it appeared staff couldn't tell if the plates very from current guests or the previous guests.After waiting about 15 mins after our meal waiting for someone to come to our table we got up to pay as it was clear although staff were walking by and could clearly see the empty plates on our table nobody came to take them or ask did we want dessert or tea or coffee,nothing.In a 5 star hotel these are basics that a customer expects,but unfortunately was not available in this hotel.Even the guy who sat us at our seat and whom we paid made no comment as to was everything OK,nothing just payment,and thank you.It was very much a get them in,get them out and that's the 5 star service we received!l gave the 3 stars for the beautiful views and visually the view in the lobby of the sea was stunning.

11/04/2025: a complete pleasure for all the senses, top-notch food, and service

19/01/2025: By far the best restaurant in Waterford and the South East. From food...either bar menu or main menu...to the exquisite service. Have had meals here (Gnocchi was amazing) and also bar food (wild mushroom on Brioche 😍). Just exceptional!

24/03/2025: Lovely cute cafe for coffee, cake or a sandwich.

18/03/2025: Great coffee escape while viewing the parade

17/05/2025: Pleasant welcome, friendly atmosphere, and superb breakfast, top-notch cuisine. You can sleep peacefully. The only downside is that there's no shower. Clean toilet. We had a great time.

11/05/2025: Not great at all we come every week for the last year and this week food wasn’t nice and prices are not matching the food anymore won’t be coming anymore l

11/05/2025: Great hour of bowling for a Saturday or Sunday family day out, getting kids away from screens.

29/04/2025: Lots of variety of activities. We chose the climbing wall with auto belaying. Only has 4 rigs, and different routes on each. 30mins and you're pretty much spent and you'll get through a majority of the routes. There's a much larger bouldering area if you want to give that a go. Good value at €10/person.

17/05/2025: This was the worst meal my parents have ever had. All the food was uncooked and old/raw. They couldn't believe how terrible the food was. They could only eat 1/4 of the meal. Terrible! The service was nonexistent.

02/05/2025: Food always good so is the service.

29/03/2025: Delicious food. Lovely atmosphere. Will be back

16/03/2025: One of the best Thai Restaurants I've eaten in.

28/12/2024: Great family-run pub, fantastic service and atmosphere. Couldn't recommend more highly.

28/11/2024: Absolutely lovely modern clean cosy pub, lovely decor and staff are spot on the money, food was very nice and very reasonable prices, was here a few times years ago and still as good as ever, best spot in tramore, also has pool table a dart board lovely beer garden, I highly recommend to anyone

13/04/2025: We ordered 2 toasted sandwiches and a drink after a 10 minute wait for service. That was fine as it was busy enough. Drinks arrived quickly. 40 minutes later we asked a waitress would it be much longer. She went off and never came back. We asked a waiter after another 10 minutes who spoke to the manager who went into the kitchen. Another 5 minutes passed and we decided to leave. We paid for our 2 cans of drink which cost €7! Not a good experience.

11/03/2025: Delicious food! Well worth a visit!!

25/04/2025: This place just surprises, brilliant staff, burgers are a speciality, deserts are really good, you just think there is a really good chef hiding somewhere in the back! Service is top class led by Mary who knows how to run a business and a really good team. Just great friendly atmosphere, you won’t be disappointed if you give it a try. Couples or Families and kids are welcome too. A restaurant that delivers and does everything well. Hats off to the owners.

17/04/2025: The establishment is a good burger, fried chicken and pizza restaurant. It's great for eating simple things. The decor is very modern and it's a bit noisy

27/04/2025: Excellent staff couldn't do enough. When I was in several different people wanted to watch different sports and everyone was accomadated with a smile. Good Guinness

26/04/2025: Great place for sports and beer, you even can pour your own! Recommended it!

10/04/2025: Just the best chips around i love the chicken fillet sandwich

27/12/2024: Amazing pizza nicest chipper from tallow to Dungarvan in my opinion genoas is a close second
