The best restaurants in Waterford

22/05/2025: Super surprise in finding this place for vegetarian and vegan food. We had three full plates normally costing € 10.50 were priced down to €5.50 as it was after 1 pm. Food was very tasty and I am not easily impressed.

22/03/2025: I 've just discovered this wonderful cafe. It has such good healthy food. It has absolutely delicious salads, (substantial enough to feel full for a lunch) and I'm not really a salad person, ( until I found Avo !) just trying to eat healthier.

03/06/2025: Nice cafe restaurant, well located. Great menu.

28/05/2025: Cool place to go to for coffee or a bit of food

08/06/2025: We loved this restaurant, well worth a visit.

03/06/2025: Fantastic meal and great service

27/05/2025: Would not go back there for food. Lovely friendly staff, however, the food is not eatable there

06/05/2025: Great find! Bigger than you'd think. More popular than you'd think. More delicious than you'd think. Better value than you'd think. So glad we found this idyllic gem with seating areas for all weathers. We caught the sun and sat outdoors. Could have opted for the glazed terrace with massive windows to regulate temperature. Skip the others and try this 🙂

04/06/2025: Excellent meal. Depth of flavours was amazing. Superb value. This is beyond 1 Michelin Star, exquisite, refined.

19/05/2025: This is my favourite restaurant in town. I come here regularly and every time I leave happy. Whenever I have visitors from overseas, I make sure to book a dinner here. And I never had a bad experience. Food, service, atmosphere is impeccable and consistent, which is very rare to find in a restaurant nowadays.

20/06/2025: Got ice cream here today the mixed one with vanilla and strawberry, was great. Staff was very friendly and efficient. Food itself was great especially on a day like today

21/05/2025: Try something new. Recommend to visit this place

24/05/2025: Amazing spot in the heart of Waterford. Excellent specialty coffee and friendly staff

23/02/2025: Loved this little coffee shop. The coffee was good and the cookies were tasty as well. I bought some coffee bags to go so I can try it at home too.

03/05/2025: Short version: Drinks: 4.5/5, Guiness was cold double pour and really good. Serving: 0.5/5, not sure it was food. Long version: Drinks: no notes, very good. Serving: the cold "shoestring potatoes" as they were called on the menu and not fries or chips, are probably called this to avoid any regulatory nomenclature or legislative definition. I do believe that in a previous life they actually were potatoes before what ever unholy event happened to them occurred. The chicken skewers were probably not cooked at the same time or even on the same week, I've microwaved chinese food the day after that came out better than this. The most burnt skewer was the only one close to edible. The salad was a few raw leaves and 3 pickles or possibly cucumber slices picked up from the floor after a day or two, very hard to tell the difference. At least the ketchup was well matured in the half filled paper cups sitting on the warm kitchen counter since possibly last night or week. Idk who hurt these people or possibly who I offended by ordering 1 pint and asking for a menu, but this can probably not legally be called food which is why I, much like the shoestring potatoes, for potential legal concerns choose to call it a serving and not food. In 2023 the food was lovely here, what happened?

29/04/2025: We stopped by for a quick drink. The atmosphere was great, we were warmly welcomed and got a delicious Irish beer recommendation. We also had a lovely conversation with the waiter. Everything was excellent.

27/05/2025: We recently engaged the services of Sherry Fitzgerald John Rohan and had a hugely positive experience. Mr. John Rohan and his team demonstrated professionalism and expertise in managing the sale process of our family home. All communication was timely, transparent and exceeded our expectations, ensuring we were informed at all stages. We were fully supported, received clear and unambiguous advice and felt Mr. Rohan had our best interest at heart at all times. We have no hesitation in recommending Sherry Fitzgerald John Rohan to others. Our sincere thanks to John and his team. Paul and Máire O'Driscoll

There's a carpark across the road which is easy to access and the hotel offer preferential overnight rates while staying there. The food is also very good. They've a loyal clientele of returning customers for their carvery which is always a good sign. I had the fish pie from the evening menu and it was excellent. Staff are always super friendly also.

07/05/2025: This historic hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of all the pubs and shopping in Waterford. It is family operated and the service is impeccable! After checking out, I realized I left my Waterford crystal glasses in my room ($$). Fiona, from the front desk personally walked them to the Waterford show room and I was able to ship them home. Amazing service and honesty from this historic hotel. While the rooms are quaint, the hotel bar, food service, and beautifully decorated lobby made me greatly appreciate this fine hotel.
