The Munster Bar

Delightful bar with delicious food. Spoiler alert: they do not skimp on the portions here! For about 22 euros, my friend and I got the fried fish fillet & chips along with a cup of corn chowder & open face smoked salmon sandwich.

The Gingerman

Gastro pub in waterford city centre.

Reviewed By rodellison

Our first restaurant while visiting Ireland. The Gingerman is hidden somewhat down an alley, but its worth searching out. Great food dishes with large portions, and a great selection of beers. On our visit they did seem to close fairly early (6pm) for a Saturday, am unsure if other days are open longer.

Great location, great service and excellent food. The seafood crepe was a masterpiece and the fish and chips were among the best we've ever had. Lovely restaurant, full of character, and the staff are wonderful. The menu prices are mid-range, we spent 100 Euros on dinner and drinks for four.

Bodega!

In the heart of Waterford City is a restaurant that champions the local food experience. Vaguely Spanish in decor with a funky eclectic mix of food and ambiance that may well be described as Mediterranean. Most definitely, not a conventional Irish restaur

Reviewed By Shanahanelaines

Bodega was my choice for a catch up with some really close friends on Friday last. As usual- the welcome was warm and relaxed despite the fact that we arrived a little late and with an extra friend! Nothing was a problem. Food was excellent for every one of us and the pace of the evening perfect. We had faultless service and despite chatting away until well after midnight - never once felt under pressure to leave. I would highly recommend.

The Grattan bar-bistro

Reviewed By patayla

Stumbled upon this place while looking for a place to eat on vacation. To be honest our initial thought was....we'll go in and if it looks alright we'll eat and if not...maybe a quick beer and carry on. The first surprise was the immediate delicious smell when we opened the door. It smelled like walking in to moms kitchen on a Sunday. This made decision to stay very simple and it was obvious we were ordering the Chefs Roast Beef. It did not disappoint, it was delicious and soooooo much food! In addition to the food, the young man behind the bar was so friendly we spent a few hours just sitting and enjoying a few drinks and chatting with him when he was not busy serving the rest of the bar all by himself. Highly recommend this place for both food and drinks.
