The best restaurants in Waterford

14/07/2025: Probably in top three pubs in Waterford city for a pint of Guinness. Arguably no.1.. Enough said.

25/06/2025: 4 of us from Texas stopped in at Andy’s last week to rest our bones and to cut the trail dust from our throats, and we couldn’t have found a better place in Waterford. The Guinness was cold and Andy’s heart was warm to this group of strangers. While in the bar, I felt like I had stepped bark 40 years, and Andy’s knowledge of the history of the area was amazing and interesting. I wished we could have stayed a bit longer, but the long road was calling. If ever in your neck of the woods, I’ll be sure to stop in and say Howdy Friend!

15/06/2025: The room is exceptionally clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. Would stay here again and recommend to others.

07/06/2025: Absolutely excellent staff rooms and restaurant 👍 👌 👏

16/06/2025: Fabulously tasty fish and chips. Highly recommend their Haddock - such flavour and so filling. Lots of other items on menu too. Food was placed into a box, wrapped and sealed with stickers. Easy to unwrap. Box contained a large and small piece of beautiful haddock in crispy batter, accompanied by chips and sides of mushy peas, tartar sauce and a wedge of fresh lemon. Restaurant quality food in a take away is how I’d describe it. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Once upon a time, Eunice Power (founder) set out to elevate the humble chipper and by this experience I would say it is mission accomplished, Eunice. To describe this place as a chipper actually does it a disservice. Although the place is small, it is possible to eat in, however it is at a breakfast bar type arrangement. Condiments are available and there’s even somewhere to wash hands after your meal. Definitely a step above the usual chipper. I will definitely be back for more. Saw scampi on the menu last time so I’ll be having some of that please!

13/06/2025: Awesome little place. I’m from Texas and use to spicy and typical American/Tex-Mex food and thus have been having a hard time adjusting to Irelands food culture. This place was the first location that was actually good and I really enjoyed their food and service. The staff were really kind and interacted with us rather than ignoring us like some other locations have. This is a nice spot if you’re worn out from trying to find some decent food that matches what’s typical from the states.

07/07/2025: Great live music. (Few times a day at weekends). Pints and cocktails are top notch.

04/07/2025: I met with some of my teammates from Waterford, and we had a great time there. The music band was phenomenal!

07/07/2025: Fantastic atmospheric pub for a beer or cider. But in the restaurant geddede you can eat delicious fish dishes but also meat. We had lobster with scallops absolutely wonderful with a bottle of sauvignon blanc. Toppie😇

04/07/2025: Very good service and fine food for a pub. I will happily return.

25/06/2025: Awesome coffee shop that knows specialty coffee!

02/04/2025: The BEST coffee in Waterford! All the staff are so friendly and knowledgable, nice little outdoor seating area.

10/07/2025: Every time I've been to Waterford, I've gone here to eat, the staff are always lovely. It's peaceful. The food (sushi and sashimi) is delicious and well presented, but most importantly delicious. Friends have been raving about the Ramen and other dishes too. Highly recommend

21/06/2025: Great food, but a very poor restaurant experience.

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.

04/06/2025: Lovely restaurant and delicious selection of food in this restaurant, was not busy when visited mid week but will be back

11/07/2025: he food was very tasty and the staff were friendly and helpful. We had to wait a bit for our drinks even though the place wasn’t busy, but we went there to eat, not to drink ;)

17/05/2025: Lovely food, friendly service and a great atmosphere. Favourite place to go.

14/07/2025: I just went to the restaurant patio. My server Melina never came back after taking my order (2 others brought my drink and app). I would have ordered more food and another drink. I left earlier than planned. I gave her some advice and her response was that there were other servers!

04/07/2025: This beautiful spot has become a second home. Food and hospitality is second to none..

14/07/2025: One of the best bars I've ever been to. There are 4 differents ambiance in the same place. The view of Tramore is astonishing. I recommend 100% !

13/07/2025: The food was fantastic and very enjoyable I would like to come back again next time ,there was quality and quantity!

14/07/2025: This place was wonderful from the minute we walked through the door. We had lunch in the garden and it was very tasty and well presented. Staff were fantastic. Price was just right.

08/07/2025: Was here in june on a Saturday evening for a family event. The place was fully booked. One person waiting tables stated my sister didn't order what she ordered,turns out the waitress had my mothers order and tried to persuade my sister that was her order . My childs order was asked to be brought out first ahead of our food to keep her quiet all our food came no sign of her food we had to request more potaotoe as there was very little came for all the adults there . The same thing happened with childs dessert it was forgotten Honestly I was disappointed overall for what your paying i expected better.

21/12/2024: Really disappointing experience. Table in the corner was breezy. Group beside us were loud and just drinking, vaping in the snug and shouting about where they would buy a bag that night. Male staff were very friendly. One female server gave a glass of Prosecco to the table overflowing and spilling down the side. Then slammed two of the main courses onto the table. Never asked did we need sauce salt vinegar for chips and fish. Food itself was nice but desserts were way overpriced €9.50 for a tiny cheesecake, not worth it. Service doesn’t match the food and price doesn’t match service. Won’t be back

28/11/2024: Excellent food and service..but very few people there..beautiful decor..very clean but needs to b a bit busier for atmosphere

24/05/2025: Very friendly Couldn't fault it.

26/04/2025: A great local bar. The staf were great and welcoming

08/06/2025: Brilliant for school tour group.

08/06/2025: To me very dirty place, staff is nice just have a problem to take orders and often forget for 1 item of of 3. I will not visit anymore due to lack of care and cleanless
