The best restaurants in New ross

21/08/2026: All amazing! Cannot recommend enough!

20/08/2026: We stopped at Ann McDonald’s for breakfast on our way to Cork after reading some lovely reviews, and I’m so glad we decided to give it a try! The breakfast was cooked fresh and absolutely delicious, with lots of different options to choose from, including a vegetarian option for me and a whole pancake menu which the little ones loved. Anne was so lovely and accommodating, especially as my daughter has a very limited diet and would only eat chips. I explained this when we arrived and it was absolutely no problem at all. She was so understanding, and my daughter was very happy with her chips! Thank you, Anne, for such a lovely and welcoming visit. We’ll definitely call in again when we’re in the area!

18/07/2026: Nice food and nice staff but a bit pricey for pub grub.

02/09/2026: Hands down the best kebab in the area — nothing in New Ross or Waterford even comes close. The ingredients are always fresh, the meat is packed with flavor, and the sauces are incredible.

13/08/2026: I've eaten in this place for the last 20 years and the quality of the food has never dropped. Well done lads!!! 👌

19/08/2026: Charming place, very warm welcome, and the food is very good.

16/08/2026: Food was plain simple and delicious

21/08/2026: I have known Shijo Shijo Bhaskaran since 2003, from his days with TAJ Hotels, so I knew we were in for something special when we decided to visit The Holy Grail, New Ross for our first Sadya of the year on Atham 1. Three families made the journey all the way from Dublin to experience the legendary hospitality that Shijo and his team are known for, and every mile was worth it. From the moment we arrived, we felt truly welcomed. A beautifully arranged table, complete with traditional banana leaves, was waiting for us. Once seated, Shijo, his brother Shibu, and their wonderful team served each dish with care and attention. The spread was exceptional: Erissery, Olan, Kalan, Pacha Moru, Madhurakkari, Koottu Curry, Pachadi, Kichadi, Inji Curry and many more, each prepared to perfection and bursting with authentic flavour. To crown the feast, we were treated to two delicious varieties of payasam, providing the perfect sweet ending to an unforgettable meal. Despite the restaurant being full, the service remained smooth, attentive, and perfectly paced. It was truly "food for the soul." We left with our hearts and stomachs equally full, completely satisfied by the experience. A heartfelt thank you to Shijo, Shibu, and the entire Holy Grail New Ross team for your humble hospitality and outstanding service. Wishing you all a very Happy Onam, and we look forward to returning again soon! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience authentic Kerala cuisine and genuine hospitality. 🌿🙏🎉

24/08/2026: I have to say, I think this is the best Chinese takeaway I have ever had, so far. The food is always consistent also. Pity the tubs of curry sauce aren't bigger though 😁

06/07/2026: The staff are lovely in there, the food is amazing, never waiting long for my food, the best Chinese in new Ross maybe even Wexford too, my only bone to pick: recently the spice bags seasoning has been too salty the last couple of times I ordered, hoping it changes back to the old seasoning, highly recommend though x
