Where to Eat in Rosslare Harbour: The Best Restaurants and Bars
The village of Rosslare Harbour (Irish: Cuan Ros Láir, meaning "harbour of the middle peninsula") grew up to serve the needs of the harbour of the same name (now called Rosslare Europort), first developed in 1906 by the Great Western Railway and the Great Southern and Western Railway to accommodate steamferry traffic between Great Britain and Ireland. This port also serves France and traffic is mainly roll-on roll-off (RoRo). It is thought that harbour expansion and/or privatisation could improve exporting and logistical options for businesses and producers in Ireland offering an alternative to Dublin Port which dominates trade but relies on the UK corridor for much EU trade. Rosslare Harbour railway station opened on 30 August 1906.

We love this restaurant, which is very popular for small and large family get togethers and celebrations, so many families celebrated their birthdays here at the weekend, people come from near and far as the food is always excellent and the staff and management are so professional

3. Spice Indian Restaurant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 311 reviews
Spice is an authentic Indian Restaurant serving quality Indian food. Our chefs come from Kerela, South India and have been trained at the 5 star Taj Hotel Group. We pride ourselves on using only fresh ingredients and our own fresh ground spices. Both our food and wine menu's are very reasonably priced and we also offer a special mid week menu as well as an early bird menu. We are situated in Monck Street which is Wexford's premier street for nightlife and we have beautiful views of Wexford harbour. 'Spice' has recently been refurbished to a style that is both contemporary and warm. Children are very welcome if well supervised and we offer a children's menu which also includes some Indian dishes, with a special dessert of 'smartie' and popping candy ice-cream!

We arrived as the restaurant late as our ferry was cancelled in nearby Rosslare, it was about to close but they left me and 5 friends in anyway.
Can honestly say was one of the nicest curries I’ve ever had. I had the south Indian curry and it was immense.
The waiter was very helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. Would highly recommend.

We arrived at the bistro which had been recommended by the owner of our B&B. To our great surprise, it was closed. Why close on a Tuesday in June? Surely this is a holiday time and a holiday place? Also, we had to wait for the staff to finish their conversation before they advised us it was closed.

A lovely traditional pub just in the main road. We visited as a family. Separate dining area off the bar. We had no problems with getting a table. Very comfortable surroundings. Staff were very helpful & friendly. The children's menu is extensive - portions are huge! Not a long menu but enough choice for most people.
I would highly recommend this place worth a visit....

Sadly weather did not entice me to visit Inch beach as frequently as I would like to but on any wet "summer's day in Ireland I found Joan Greenes cafe/bistro/bar to be an oasis of comfort and charm. The proprietress is charming and not alone cooks delicuous food but is also a wonderful singer entertainer. I highly recommend this place for value for money and her scrumptuous home cooked meals and sumptuous Deserts. Try it for yourself and enjoy the magical views over the wild Atlantic!

We spent a night in Rosslare before catching the ferry to the uk. we chose here as we remember having a good meal 6 years ago!
About 5 minute drive from the ferry port with a large car park and small beer garden to rear.
Lovely large restaurant inside with friendly efficient staff. Family friendly.
Good selection of food on menu and a kids' menu too, all very reasonably priced. (We had spent 11 days in different parts of Ireland and this was one of the cheapest restaurants we had eaten in)
All meals were thoroughly enjoyed.
Next time we go to Ireland via Rosslare, we will be paying another visit!

10. Karoo farm shop & cafe

Reviewed By Eva D - Kamp-Lintfort
after having passed a night on a ferry (to Rosslare) we decided to look for a lovely cup of tea - yet did not want to end up next to the road (even if there are lots of nice places to visit, too - I am sure of that) - well we drove on for a couple of minutes we saw a sign mentioning karoo farmshop & cafe
it did sound nice - and we tried it
we were not disappointed
at first I thought, that the dishes were quite pricy - baked potato for nearly 10 Euro - but when it was served the large plate was full! packed with delicious side dishes and of course a lovely potatos with different cheeses as it was ordered. We also tried a Sandwich - which was served with salads and fries - also delicious and large portion.
We could see that the kitchen used products from the farmshop - as while we were there some needed things (cucumber eg) were fetched from the shop. Staff was very friendly, food was great, the tea (of course we had a pot of tea, too) was great also. After having eaten we found out, that we had gotten new energy - we hadn´t been aware of having needed it after the long sleep on the ferry - but we felt so much better and refreshed after the pause there - that we only can recommend trying :-).
