The best restaurants in Waterford

23/08/2025: At the Grattan Bar we had a very nice surprise: the owners decided to serve a special Brazilian feijoada. The dish was offered in two options: • small portion for €14, still very generous; • large portion for €18, perfect for bigger appetites. I tried the small one and it was more than enough — tasty, filling, and made with good quality ingredients. The price was fair and honest, really worth it. The owners are very friendly, always smiling and welcoming. They had this great idea to bring a bit of Brazil to Waterford, and they also mentioned that they plan to prepare other Brazilian dishes in the future. The only thing I would suggest is adding some Brazilian music, to make the atmosphere even more authentic. Overall, it was a great experience that I truly recommend, especially for Brazilians living nearby who want to enjoy the taste of home. 🇧🇷

21/08/2025: My wife and I stopped in for dinner and drinks and had an excellent time. The drinks were delicious and reasonably priced. We shared the beef roast which was exceptional. We had dinner at a 5 star restaurant in Dublin the evening prior and the beef roast we had here was the highlight of our trip. The staff were very friendly and the place was very clean.

30/06/2025: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Tully’s Bar – A True Local Gem in Waterford! Tully’s Bar has such a unique charm – it's where locals go for a real pint, good music, and a relaxed vibe. I was there on a Friday with a live band and Saturday with a DJ, and while I love to dance, the vibe was more chilled – retro tunes, jazz, classic rock – a nice break from the typical commercial scenes. It’s not your average tourist bar, and that’s what makes it so much better. You’ll find people enjoying their Guinness, local brews (something between a Smithwick's and Guinness – amazing!), and having real conversations. The whole place feels like a secret favorite spot. Now, if you're like me and used to super cold drinks, you might notice the pints aren’t as icy as expected – they don’t rotate them fast, or maybe they go so quick they get warm – but hey, that’s part of the Irish experience 🇮🇪. Locals don’t mind at all, and honestly, you’ll get used to it. If you want to experience the real Waterford, with good vibes, music, and local flavour – Tully’s is the place.

06/06/2025: Popular, friendly bar with a great selection of craft beers.
