The best restaurants in Waterford

14/08/2025: Absolutely love this cafe! The coffee is top-notch – Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality of both the drinks and the food. The interior is really nicely done too – clean, cozy, and a great place to relax or catch up with friends. Service is always quick and friendly, which makes a big difference. Definitely one of my go-to spots now. Highly recommend!

07/08/2025: Superb latte & tasty cakes with friendly service. I really enjoyed resting here & relaxing after hectic tour of surrounding attractions. Just off beaten track but so close to centre of town.

23/06/2026: Tried both the pastrami sandwich and the chicken sandwich. I’d give both a solid 7/10. The bread was excellent and the meat was really tasty, which made both sandwiches enjoyable. The goat cheese was a standout and deserves an 8/10 on its own. The only downside was the crisps, which tasted like they’d been sitting out for a while and weren’t as fresh as the rest of the meal. Overall, a good experience with some great ingredients, especially the bread and goat cheese.

11/06/2026: Such a cute coffee shop with a lovely atmosphere, the lunches and nibbles are absolutely delicious and the girls there are always so kind and polite, definitely would recommend for lunch or a coffee date

23/04/2026: Absolutely fabulous Waterford bar, especially if ur sports oriented. Every sport listed and if not they would try find ur particular sport. Besides this lovely staff and reasonably priced at 4.20euro to 6euro fr most pints

19/03/2026: Great experience great place to go

07/07/2026: Notice to Customers I would like to share a concern regarding my experience today while watching the Argentina World Cup match. I ordered three pints of Heineken and was charged three different prices: ● 1st pint: €6.40 ● 2nd pint: €6.20 ● 3rd pint: €6.70 When I asked about the difference, I was told it was due to “human error.” However, I was not able to speak with the manager about the matter. Please review your bill carefully before paying. While mistakes can happen, customers should receive a clear explanation and consistent pricing. This was a disappointing experience.

08/07/2026: The best pizza in Waterford by far. Definitely recommend it 👌

06/07/2026: If you aren’t getting your pizza from Pizza Dome, you are seriously missing out! I just left after having the absolute best experience. The staff here are incredibly lovely and genuinely care about their customers—we had a great chat about the Portugal vs. Spain match tonight while waiting, and they even threw in a free dip out of pure kindness. ​As for the food? Unbelievable. The pizza looks and tastes incredible, perfectly cooked with fresh toppings. This isn't just a takeaway; it’s a spot with real community spirit. Do yourself a favor and run down here tonight!

06/01/2026: The local sports bar. Got everything you would like in a sports bar

14/05/2026: Got recommended this bar as a place for Guinness. Every pint was cream and the cheapest pub we went to all weekend. Live music but you can still have a chat. Staff are super friendly and great to tell you about the local area. I'd go back to Waterford just to go here for a pint here. Highly recommend.
