The best restaurants in Waterford

27/02/2026: Beautiful Food best i ever tasted. Staff are lovely wouldn't go anywhere else

22/01/2026: Chips half cooked Man in the till need training to talk with the customer Never go again

10/04/2026: I have never met such ignorance within the staff absolutely horrible, I used to come here but I will never step foot inside the place again ..there is no customer service and no smiling faces just snotty and unpleasant and cold food..also could be alot cleaner stains on glasses and cutlery..disgusting actually..

16/05/2026: Service and staff were very good and helpful. The hotel itself was very dull and dated. Imo all the rooms need a full refurbishment.

14/05/2026: Reasonable hotel, good beds and good service

27/02/2026: Second time visiting and it's my last, got chicken balls and curry sauce, the sauce was like water and had no flavour at all, measly portion's, overpriced for the type of food they serve

07/02/2026: Indeed, browsing the menu, the prices seem high, but the final bill wasn't. The food was good and plentiful. The place was well-decorated. The staff was very kind and friendly and gave us excellent advice. It turned out to be a lovely evening. See you next time.

09/09/2025: Absolutely horrible place don’t clean the toilets I’ve been to other insomnia cafes and they were lovely this place the quality and taste is horrible , a staff member her name is Emily was advised not to make it too hot as it was for a 3 year old and my sister burnt her mouth with the hot chocolate disgusting

30/08/2025: Coffee is not up to the standard that it should be. I only ever go to insomnia when I’m in a new place because I know that coffee in insomnia is the best and everywhere else I go it’s really good. This place has a good vibe, lovely staff but coffee was definitely not up to standard. I even asked for a remake and it was the same poor flavour of coffee. It is upsetting especially when you know how insomnia coffee usually tastes like and you are not getting it

10/12/2025: Staff and coffee amazing, perfect cosy spot x

14/11/2025: I’ve come here a few times in the past few weeks and every time I’ve enjoyed the visit. The coffee is great and the cakes and sweet treats are always great.

01/03/2026: We occasionally order takeaway from this place, and not once has the food been delivered on time or without us having to make additional calls to the restaurant. We have never waited less than two hours for our food, and it usually arrives cold. If you want Indian food for dinner, I strongly recommend ordering it at breakfast time — hopefully it will arrive by dinner!

22/02/2026: We have been getting take away from Peppers for years now and I just wanted to say that the quality and service has never faulted. The food is always fresh and arrives hot when we get it delivered. The chicken jalfrezi is very very good. The flavours are amazing and the peppers not over cooked. The best Indian restaurant in Waterford by far.

16/09/2025: Closed down no notice of the door

09/09/2025: Absolutely delicious food and brilliant service. Very well priced

12/04/2026: Food was delicious, southern fried chicken like it should taste like

15/03/2026: Friendly staff & quick service!

02/08/2025: Very slow service. Went to find someone after 10 minutes. Only to find d my table was given away

18/07/2025: A cocktail bar like you'd dream of. Nice, quiet ambiance, pleasant music, polite bartenders. The bar is a bit hidden, it was quiet, and it definitely deserves more visitors. Fair prices, good service, and first-class signature cocktails.

09/11/2025: Ordered a family bucket 4 people couldn’t even finsh it amazing taste and huge portion definitely great value for money will be back again

20/10/2025: Amazing food big portions every dish is amazing 😋 staff really nice Best in waterford highly recommend 👌

27/10/2025: Staff are friendly & helpful. Food is tasty 😋

24/09/2025: Food and service is always amazing- the staff are so lovely and the pancakes are some of the best that I’ve had. I always have a good experience with the waitresses and they seem to have great relationships with the locals/ regulars. I have to say though, for the second time now, I’ve noticed the man who I assume is the manager/ head chef talking down to the staff and being rude to them. Could be just that he’s busy or I’m catching him at a bad moment but it definitely sets a bad tone for customers to overhear and get the impression that staff aren’t being treated right- especially given the great job they’re doing!

24/04/2026: Very impressed with this restaurant. The food is homely and authentic. Really delicious and the prices are amazing!

06/04/2026: I’ve been to this restaurant more than 7 times and always enjoyed it, but unfortunately my last two visits were disappointing. Both times the curries were completely tasteless. We ordered chicken chilli masala and lamb karahi, but there was almost no difference in flavour between them. When you order two different dishes, you expect different tastes, not something that feels like the same pre-mixed curry. The naan bread was good, no complaints there. But the curries definitely need improvement. We also ordered the starter chicken chaat with puri. To be honest, I know what puri should be — it should be made from fresh dough. Instead, it seemed like a fried tortilla wrap being served as puri, which isn’t really correct. That said, the staff are very good and friendly, no issues there at all. Just hoping the restaurant improves the food quality and flavour because it used to be much better.

12/05/2026: I think probably the the best in fast food

05/05/2026: Was there today for lunch with my two boys, staff were 100%
