The best restaurants in Waterford

28/05/2026: Visited with my family for food and drinks only, not the hotel stay. The location and views are absolutely beautiful — on a sunny day it genuinely felt more like being somewhere in Spain than Ireland. The atmosphere and seaside setting are definitely the highlight of this place. Unfortunately, the food and service did not match the location. The prices were quite high for the quality received — for example, the fish of the day with chips was €23 and quite disappointing. We also had to ask twice for additional drinks and the order was still ignored, which made the experience frustrating. Overall, a lovely place for the views and atmosphere, but the food and service need improvement.

21/12/2025: A very busy lunch time, however the service was great and the food delicious, thank you

24/06/2026: Attended a wedding at The Suir Inn, all I can say is WOW a fantastic setting for a wedding. Service in bar was excellent This was their 1st wedding and I would strongly recommend the venue

07/06/2026: A warm and attentive staff catered to us to a terrific meal. Already trying to figure out the next visit.

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 👏🏻

It is a very nice, quiet hotel that provides a perfectly relaxing environment. ​ ​Our room was incredibly comfortable and featured nice, cozy beds that ensured a great night's sleep. ​The reception staff were absolutely superb—welcoming, efficient, and very helpful. ​It is in a highly convenient location, making it easy to get around the area. ​ ​Breakfast: They serve a decent breakfast with a good variety to start your day off right. ​ ​With its combination of comfort, great service, and convenience, the Viking Hotel is a wonderful choice when staying in Waterford. We would happily stay here again!

12/07/2026: If visiting Dungarvan I’d give the Merrys Gastro pub a miss It was fairly grotty seats and tables were fairly dirty. We were left waiting an hour and a half for our food that was only average . Lots of fabulous restaurants and bars in Dungarvan to choose from but this was not one of them!

31/08/2025: Lovely spot, had the fish and chips and the better was light and beautiful, with perfectly cooked fish. The tartare sauce was also lovely.

18/06/2026: I had lunch here for the first time yesterday and I think it’s now my favourite place! The pies are incredibly tasty, there’s a good selection of food and the staff are so friendly! I also found out that it’s a real local café with a long history, which makes me respect the place and its owners even more. One of the nice perks – and probably one of the most important ones – is that you get a proper, tasty lunch, just like at home, for a modest price 😻
