The best restaurants in Waterford

20/02/2026: Nice pint, great location- very central! Friendly service 🙂

30/11/2025: never been but heard dj stephen richard's live mixes on soundcloud and want to show love and respect from bangkok. dope!

30/05/2026: Had a great experience at Shiki. The all-you-can-eat menu offers an excellent variety of sushi, Chinese dishes, and starters, all freshly prepared and full of flavour. The food arrived quickly, and everything we tried was delicious. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and made us feel comfortable throughout our visit. The restaurant was clean, well presented, and offered great value for money. A fantastic place for a family meal or a night out with friends. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended!

27/05/2026: Lovely place, cosy atmosphere, worth visiting to have dinner. Great staff.

14/06/2026: Appear to be completely incapable of getting an order correct. Every second visit involves having to come back for a "forgotten" item. If if happens this often it feels like policy not error.

03/06/2026: Fifth time in 2 weeks the leave out items ordered and paid for.

28/05/2026: Best chicken fillets ive ever tasted

22/04/2026: Deli and counter staff are great. Manageress was rude to me when I tried to order a sandwich cos I didn't want to tie my dog outside in case he was stolen. Her attitude was awful. I know rules are rules but there is a nice way to carry them out.

12/05/2026: Really really bad service Ignored by staff and we had to go up to the till to order The staff were having a great conversation Not attentive at all The food wasn’t great. Greasy and bland. Rice was really overly sweet in the bento box. We had been a few years ago and really enjoyed it but it’s gone downhill now. Would not return.

09/05/2026: Place has gone downhill in the past few years. Food is great (bento boxes, pad thai, yakatori duck are delicious) but to be honest the service has become very poor. Disjointed service and confused uninterested staff on my last few visits. The large number of takeaway orders always interfere a lot - the massive orange bags in the doorway and with the food arriving at the table. Staff not attentive enough and roles seem disorganised. Loud aggressive K-pop rock (?) music one evening also ruined the vibe as totally not suitable. Used to the love this place, has gotten worse over the past few years.

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

30/05/2026: As Always they are consistent with quality of food ' customer service ' price and location for the work lunch break or family day out we honestly have to give 5☆ & Highly Recommend 💯👏🏻🍳☕️🧇🍝🍧🥧🍨T-Junction Restaurant Waterford 👌🏻

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..

23/04/2026: We come here quite a bit, there is always a lovely welcome from all the staff. They couldn't be more helpful

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

29/06/2026: We love this place staff are the best, and the food is great. Bacon pancakes are a must.

22/06/2026: I’ve eaten at Reas numerous times over the last few years and it had always served great food and was always so reasonably priced. I ate here at the weekend and I was so disappointed. The service was fine, it was busy so the staff were doing their best but the food was sub par with a notable decrease in portion size. A let down 💔

15/02/2026: The service was quick and very friendly, however the only let down was the food. The dishes came out suspiciously quick. The starters were good, but small portions. The pasta was very bad, chicken was like ready to eat chicken not fresh and the sauce was watery, pretty bland, and expected more from an Italian restaurant. The pizza base was so thin and burnt, with the toppings falling off, and again watery. We got a cookie sandwich and tiramisu for desert, cookie was hard and basic Hp ice cream. The tiramisu was basic nothing special. Disappointed in the food overall.

20/12/2025: I have been eating at espresso for years now. I visited the other night and unfortunately left disappointed . The menu appears to have been reduced and a number of the Italian dishes seem to have been removed such as the Tagliatelle Al Fungi (which is strange considering it’s an Italian restaurant). I thought the food was very overpriced for what it was, €19 for a carbonara! And hardly any pancetta in it. For dessert, my friend and I ordered tiramisu’s and tea and were given cups that were visibly dirty and given no spoons to stir our milk. I was also Disappointed to see the portion of Tiramisu had greatly reduced but the price had increased. Overall, the experience was disappointing and I felt like it was poor value for money and I don’t think I’ll be in any rush to return.

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 👌
