Bodega!
Waterford
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.

Tiramisu Da Costa Family
Waterford
04/07/2026: This place deserves a Michelin star! We met the trailor twice in Wexford and really really liked the food. So we travelled to Waterford this weekend just to see the real place! It's amazing. Love the place, the design and the food. Highly recommend!
01/07/2026: Unfortunately I was not impressed. The service was good, but the meal was very bland. The sauce in the Pasta Arribiatt seemed like the canned stuff you get in the supermarket. Dining/grabbing a bite to eat in a tent is not what I was planning. Not good.
