19/07/2026: Lovely restaurant, lovely food, frothy beer and lovely wine. Staff great also! Would happily recommend and will return. Thank you
28/06/2026: Got a recommendation from a friend for this place and they were right to praise it: delicious food, engaged, attentive staff, and a cool, clean environment. I was able to make a booking at short notice, and I really appreciated that, especially given how busy it was. Its sister restaurant, next door, is just as good, too!

TheBay Café-DunmoreEast
Waterford
14/07/2026: Cute neighbourhood cafe! Very nice to sit outside when it's sunny. Staff is super friendly. It's the only cafe I've been to in Dublin that serves iced drinks in a glass instead of a plastic cup, I was very happy to see that!! Huge green flag 💚
11/07/2026: Flat white was fine, had a better one at Grindstone Specialty a few blocks away.
Think this place is better for its food than its coffee just based on observation.

Momo
Waterford
04/08/2026: Friendly staff. Minimal portion. We came for a bite to eat around 4 pm, so we didn't want a main course. We ordered the Caesar salad starter for €14. The taste was good, but this was a really small portion. There were barely 3 small pieces of chicken in it. A shame.
29/07/2026: Everything was good and delicious!)

Paddy Coyne’s Pub

15/07/2026: Beautiful Irish pub full of history and good craic. Would recommend to anyone passing by the area to stop off for a pint! Bartender was brilliant too! Shoutout to him!
12/07/2026: Absolutely amazing old pub with truly outstanding food. The langoustines and scallops we had were on another level. I haven’t had seafood this good anywhere else in Ireland. I highly recommend this place, and I’ll definitely be coming back to try some of their meat dishes in the future.
