The best restaurants in Waterford

04/07/2024: We booked restaurant weeks in advance for a very special occasion. When we arrived we were put sitting at the door which was extremely uncomfortable with people coming in and out and hitting/brushing off you as they passed. It was freezing cold with the door opening and closing every 30 seconds and the back of my chair was broken and I was unable to sit back into it in case I toppled over. It was the worst dining experience we ever had. I asked management could we move tables to be rudely told no it wasn’t possible even though the table beside us was empty. The table was then given to a family who dropped in on the off chance of getting a table. They hadn’t booked and we know that because I asked them! The food was very basic to say the least and my partner didn’t get his main course for 20 minutes after everyone else was served. The dessert was tasteless and the tea served was cold and like water. The only thing that was exceptional was the bill and to finish off the worst dining experience we ever had was that we were overcharged and had to be refunded for items we didn’t have. To diners out there, stop, pause and thing twice before you dine at the White Horse Ardmore.

28/06/2024: Amazing find in Ardmore for an unplanned lunch stop with a large group of 15 including kids. Everything was superb, food service and garden ambience. Perfect final lunch after an a large family gettogether.

26/10/2024: My favourite beef curry. Meat is always so tender.

06/04/2025: Had dinner here with a really large group and even though there were a lot of us, the food was really good and the waitstaff was excellent, especially Fawn and Owen. The Irish coffee was the cherry on top!

05/04/2025: Afternoon tea was lovely, nicely presented, in a lovely room, with a great atmosphere, friendly helpful staff & good value!

27/05/2024: I’ll never return again. Gave them a chance. Got a beef Szechuan and fried rice (had to pay extra) and a chicken and sweetcorn soup. Joked about buying prawn crackers but they’d give me free ones. Was told I’d need to spend more. Bought spring rolls on top for another 4 quid. Got my order. No prawn crackers. Asked why. You need to spend more. I’d gotten a starter, a soup and a main course! That level of hungriness deserves zero support. Other Chinese restaurants throw them in with every order.

18/04/2024: Very bad avoid it on all costs!

25/07/2023: my child died after eating this

26/02/2025: Nice clean, little diner nice lady runs it .

15/06/2024: I love the pies and homemade stews and curries here! Really tasty and good value. I'll try some of the dessert items soon. There's lots of really nice things to choose from sweet and savoury
