The best restaurants in Waterford

19/04/2026: Great experience here, amazing service and good food worth the visit

19/04/2026: We had a lovely experience in the suir inn! Staff were lovely and food was fantastic

11/05/2026: We were there at lunchtime with four people. The calamari were really bad; they were far too undercooked, limp, and mushy. The potato skin was undercooked and unseasoned. The two salads were good; the brie salad had fried cheese balls. The server was friendly and offered replacements.

10/05/2026: All the food is good And I actually enjoy it you have to come to this restaurant And The food was amazing is better than any restaurant in Waterford..

11/05/2026: Dinner was out of per potion too much meat not enough potatoes and vegetables

22/04/2026: We went for dinner on Monday I booked in on Sat for 20 of us and they were more than accommodating , the staff were absolutely outstanding and welcoming 😊 the food was absolutely fabulous 🤩 they couldn't have done more for us. I highly recommend them 5stars all the way 🤩 thank so much we had a brilliant day ❤️

23/04/2026: Isobel, with hands so skilled and bright, Crafts pints that sparkle in the light. A swirl of froth, a golden hue, Each sip a joy, both fresh and true. Her laughter bubbles, warm and sweet, In every glass, a perfect treat. From Passage East to far and near, Her scrumptious pints bring friends good cheer.

07/04/2026: Lovely food. Nice atmosphere! Highly recommend. Great for a nice long walk along the beach and then pop in for a bite and a pint!

07/05/2026: Was in today at lunch time, busy place, ordered the breaded chicken, asked for pepper sauce instead of gravy, I didn't realise until I sat down that the dinner was covered in really salty gravy, not a fan of gravy, hence the one star.

06/05/2026: Great Sunday lunch fresh and tasty. Staff friendly and helpfull. Recommend it for lunch and a drink. Live music on a Sunday evening!

10/05/2026: Had a lovely stay at Hannoras Cottage. The views are absolutely beautiful, the staff were so friendly and welcoming, and the food was fabulous. Such a warm, relaxing place to stay — would definitely recommend.

04/05/2026: This was our 2nd stay at Hanora's cottage and safe to say we will be back! The staff are all so welcoming, helpful & friendly. The food is lovely with good choices. The rooms are nicely decorated, the yellow in our room really caught the evening light & the room glowed. Situated in a really picturesque area, it is the perfect getaway to switch off & relax. Not a great phone signal in the area, perfect to switch off, but be aware, have some back up, if you're using the phone for navigation. Suitable for serious walkers/ hikers or those who just want to explore the marked trails in the area. After a day out it is lovely to come back to a Jacuzzi to relax the muscles & a good meal.
