The best restaurants in Waterford

04/10/2025: We had excellent meals! I had the fish and chips and my wife had the roasted chicken. Both were great and excellent portions. The atmosphere was a not like an authentic pub, but still a good meal!

24/09/2025: Lovely place to meet up with family and friends with the kids.

09/08/2025: Lovely food and staff helpful and friendly,decor us lovely and has some outside seating

10/07/2025: Lovely staff, great food and brilliant atmosphere. Unreal sourdough and poached eggs too 👌

01/09/2025: Extremely lovely staff. Excellent food and plenty of it for a reasonable price

01/09/2025: I really love Kyoto Waterford, but I’m taking a couple of stars off because every single time we order chef’s selection of sushi (even the larger portion), it only comprises of nigiri & never any maki or uramaki. It’s really frustrating (I like the mix of types, but nigiri is my least favourite). This hardly represents a variety or selection. I had thought that maybe it was because they didn’t want to prepare a whole maki roll & o my use some of it in the platter, but they use a couple of pieces per bento box, so that’s not the reason. I really wish they would change this, or at least actually call it what it is: Chef’s nigiri selection, not a chef’s sushi selection. As it stands, it’s very misleading. If they remedied this, it’d be 5 stars from me.

19/08/2025: Ordered a large pizza for delivery yesterday and it was absolute garbage . It was overdone dry and didnt have all the toppings I asked for . Paid over 30 euro for the rubbish. Avoid

06/08/2025: Food really good staff friendly

07/09/2025: Had been hoping to try Mara for a while now and went for their Harvest Festival tapas menu last night - it did not disappoint! The atmosphere of the restaurant feels really special, the service was great and the food was unique and delicious. Special mention for the burnt basque cheesecake which was amazing! Looking forward to visiting again soon.

03/09/2025: On a quiet Sunday evening we had a ovely inventive tasting menu with Luis fusing Japanese cuisine with Irish produce and his Spanish influences. Also great wine pairings!

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.

07/08/2025: I enjoyed a great pint of draught Beamish while sat outside watching the world go by. The bar is quite snall but there's a small rear seating area & patio too with toilets. There's some nice historic memorabilia on display.

03/08/2025: Well know Bar in Georges St, old style traditional bar, once known to only all men as customers.

02/06/2025: One of the best things to ever be born in ferrybank along with John o Sea. Reliable, fast and excellent food delivered by an excellent team, without exception.

22/04/2025: Our favourite coffee is Yopo - absolutely what one needs first thing in the morning. Blue Butterfly deliver directly to us here, just so easy to order and genuinely the most delicious coffee!

09/01/2025: Great coffee and great service.

18/09/2025: Really nice relaxing cafe with very obliging and welcoming staff. Will be sure to visit again when I am in Waterford.

10/09/2025: Love stopping off here for our first Irish breakfast after taking the ferry to Rosslare from Wales. Great homemade brown bread and bottomless coffee and tea!

31/05/2025: Decent authentic Victorian pub, not much craic from younger staff but that’s like most places nowadays, definitely worth a visit

29/05/2025: Awesome place. This American had heard the term “creamer,” but I had no idea. It was definitely the best Guinness I’d been served all week. Service was good too.

16/09/2025: Just a great place to stay in Waterford, great service and wonderful customer service,very friendly staff.

23/08/2025: To be honest, of all the places I've been, I left a review if it's the best place I've ever eaten. The place is wonderful, very cozy, the price is wonderful, and let's talk about the food. The food is fresh, high quality, in the right portion. The cake is moist and not too sweet. I loved the orange cake. The service is very fast, the food is ready very quickly. The iced tea is wonderful. It couldn't be more than 10/10. Perfection.
