The best restaurants in Waterford

28/05/2026: Was at a communion the service was chaotic sn all over thr place an it wasnt that big of a crowd in the room id say 5p to 60 peoplr max somr of the food was cold asked for a baby bowl csme out with a full plate for a 6 month old an charged no wont be back

25/05/2026: I enjoyed my stay here ✨ The phone in the room wasn’t working, so I had to go down stairs each time I needed something 😅 But apart from that, everything was brilliant 🙏🏻

12/07/2026: Called in for food and refreshments. Good bit of grub nice location plenty of seating in and out.

01/07/2026: Room was great for the price, clean comfortable and good , the food was awful , ordered a steak ciabatta and a roast dinner, steak was inedible, and I physically stretched it in front of the staff to show how rubbery it was by not being able to even snap it, the roast came without mash, or veg, as it turned out they had none left, they replaced my steak with a beef roll, which wasn't great. But charged full price for the original order, I had heard good things about the food , but one of the worst experiences I've had, and to be charged full for food we didn't get

07/11/2025: Fantastic place friendly irish pple im Polish but yet they speak to me and even buy me a pint they like to talk and enjoy life highly recommend

10/05/2026: The surprise highlight of our trip. Some of the most delicate, mouthwatering and perfectly curated dishes (we had the tasting menu) with a wine pairing that blew us away. Luis and Gaston are perfect hosts. A place I will come back to again and highly recommend!

07/05/2026: I had a lovely pleasant young man serving me he was very friendly and funny Quinn was his name must try Clonmel next time ⭐️

15/07/2026: Really loved the beamish here. Great spot for a quiet pint or to watch a match.

31/03/2026: Verry good great food normal

29/03/2026: Very good food and service at a good price. Great to have locally

05/10/2025: The best place in waterford, the best Guinnes

31/05/2025: Decent authentic Victorian pub, not much craic from younger staff but that’s like most places nowadays, definitely worth a visit

19/06/2026: Stayed over the Easter , Mac Fleedwood band playing sound was terrible seated tables but people standing in front blocking view . Spoke to Manager /owner who was extremely unhelpful and quite rude .. rooms were very dusty but breakfast was lovely 😊

29/04/2026: Called in with friends for lunch, the waitress in the restaurant was friendly and service was quick, food was very good, the only reason I didn't give a better rating was i found the receptionist rude.

28/01/2026: Lovely food. Lovely staff lovely atmosphere

25/01/2026: This is a mega, absolutely fantastic, incredibly important recommendation!!! The best spot in all of Ireland. My personal recommendation: the grilled goat cheese bagel. Thanks a million, Tom!

15/06/2026: Nice bar. Unfortunately the food is overpriced for what you get but good location.

26/05/2026: Just right... More fish and chips

10/05/2026: Top quality service from the minute we arrived. We were walked to our comfortable room, treated to an excellent quality dinner with a good quality wine list and had a comfortable night's sleep. Breakfast was much higher quality than we were expecting the next day. Maura is a star and made it such a pleasure to stay. Thanks for a lovely evening!

10/05/2026: We wanted to get to the Tannery before it closed at the end of this year. It didn't disappoint. Máire gave us a loveky welcome. The room was very comfortable. Dinner was really tasty. Great local ingredients, thoughtfully presented. We had an especially lovely glass of champagne as we were celebrating. The breakfast the next morning was especially delicious. Just sorry that we were too full to have the lemon drizzle cake we were tempted with for breakfast dessert. Definitely worth a trip. Look forward to seeing what they do next.

19/12/2025: I've been here for a work night out. They have a great selection of cocktails. The Shak has great pizzas. Atmosphere was very lively and relaxingat the same time. Great outdoor area.

10/12/2025: Great local, great owners, always welcome

27/04/2026: Ate there once with a group and it was lovely so booked again for me and my boyfriend. A totally different experience, staff were ok but much more welcoming to other tables as another reviewer said. The bistro was very cold, other diners were putting coats on. Our starters were fine, nothing exceptional; Caesar salad and bruschetta. Got 2 steaks for main, smothered in red wine jus which overpowered all flavour and a pathetic baked onion on the side, our chips never came despite me asking our waiter twice. Left hungry and so disappointed. A waste of €110

06/04/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Birthday Save at The Old Bank! I can’t thank the team at The Old Bank enough. I realized upon arrival that my booking for seven people hadn't gone through, and the restaurant was completely full. Instead of turning us away, the staff went above and beyond to quickly organize a private room for us so we could celebrate my dad’s birthday. * Service: Truly exceptional and incredibly accommodating. * Food: Absolutely delicious—every plate was a hit. They turned a stressful mistake into a perfect evening. High-class hospitality at its finest!
