The best restaurants in Waterford

03/02/2025: Definitely the cosiest and friendliest pub in Waterford - the little snug with the fire is beyond compare. Great selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks with superb recommendations from Tom and the bar staff. Gigs upstairs are unreal. Best value glass of wine in a crystal glass ever!

29/12/2024: This evening, at 5:30 pm on a quiet Sunday, I brought my 16-year-old son and three of his friends to play a game of pool to celebrate his birthday. We had just done a day of bowling and go-cart racing so I wanted them to wind down and have a chat. The place was practically empty - just a couple and two older gentlemen. However, when my son went to get change from the bar, the barman informed him that he needed to be 21 to play pool??? I stepped in and asked "do you have to be over 18 to play pool?" The barman insisted that was the rule. Frustrated and bewildered, we left. I immediately rang the Mansion House next door to ask if the same rule applied there. The barman on the phone actually laughed and said, “Of course not—bring them in, as long as they’re not drinking!” Honestly, what a joke.

13/01/2025: Super spot for a few drinks. Purchased a bottle of whiskey as a Christmas present and it was beautifully wrapped and dropped to our table. Thank you!

11/12/2024: One of the best pints of Guinness in Waterford.

20/10/2024: Great live music pub good drink prices

18/03/2025: The staff were excellent 👌 and very efficient. The food was excellent. The rooms were excellent and clean 👌

17/03/2025: Very belligerent older bar manager lady. The bar itself is grand but businesses like these are often ruined by customer hating managers obsessed with rules and making people feel very unwelcome. My family won't be back. Shame. *just to note the other younger staff were lovely

12/03/2025: great place.. So nice to visit😀

12/03/2025: The place is great , food is well presented and tasty,. The owner is very accomodating and kind to us.

19/01/2025: Food is good but watch out for how they have the tip machine, they make it look like it's where you pay. They know what they're at and they've been at it for a while. Not on

14/01/2025: We were at the museum and went to a cafe. Smiling and helpful staff. The cakes are fresh and delicious. Hot chocolate so sweet that the children couldn't get enough 🤪😅

22/03/2025: The food was gorgeous, we both had chicken wings for starter (one honey, and the other salt & pepper) and they were superb. The batter was to perfection. For mains we both had roast duck (one in plum sauce, and the other in orange sauce) and again it was lovely.

02/02/2025: Overall, I had a good experience, service was slow. I was waiting quite a while for my mains after my friend had been served. I had to remind staff that I was still waiting for mine. This delay may have been partly created by my friend ordering two starters, one as their mains!! Overall the meal was fine, I would probably call again.

22/03/2025: I can confidently say that this is the most delicious food I have tasted in Ireland for all my 3 years of stay here, my husband and I are incredibly satisfied with the service and the fresh food! Their pizza Pepperoni was soo tasty … Definitely we gonna come back ❤️🤌🏻

22/03/2025: As far as I'm concerned this is best of its kind in the town...absolutely lovely food done perfectly and the friendliest of staff +++++ would recommend everyone who loves good takeaway try the Marian

16/03/2025: Got a delivery asked for extra sauce on the wrap which they ignored it's as dry with a dot of garlic On it asked for Salt and vinegar which they ignored as well and they put none ordered bbq wings and they sent out soggy tenders with bbq which was spilt all inside the bag take them Off the menu if ye don't have them absolute waste of money in the bin it is would not order from here again if you are able to read the order well you can read the comments so don't be so ignorant and ignore what the customer is asking for

15/02/2025: Very friendly and very nice food :)

06/03/2025: Everything is great. But the hotel is on an island. It takes a little time on the ferry to cross 200 meters 😀 The rooms are good, the kitchen is wonderful - you can cook whatever your heart desires. Warm, spacious. Quiet residential area.

04/02/2025: My partner and I planned our destination wedding at Waterford Castle! The team at Waterford was so wonderful to work with, and so accommodating. Gillian is amazing at her job and made our whole day seamless. Everything from the beauty of the Venue to the food was perfect on our day! Everyone at Waterford went above and beyond for us and we truly cannot thank them enough. We would absolutely recommend to everyone!!

20/10/2024: Mandarin Palace is the very best of Ferrybank. It truly feels like a second home away from home. It is run by a Chinese family that is always welcoming and makes every guest feel comfortable. Its a true Palace, with restaurant and cafe with different spots for everyone to find their place and still be among all. Great music and amazing food. The America flag colours the ceiling for those who cheer on big dreams. And if you just want a pint and play some dart it's also fine.

30/03/2025: A lovely cafe, tasty food and good coffee. The service was great and the staff were friendly.

25/02/2025: Had such a lovely breakfast here yesterday, staff were lovely, quick service even though they were busy and food was great quality. :)

21/02/2025: Great place for a pint, pre-game before Shelbourne vs Waterford. Always friendly service and good pints.

05/02/2025: Good spot to watch a match. The toilets could do with an upgrade.
