Waterford, Ireland skyline: the 22 most iconic buildings and best views in Waterford

We were not sure whether to pay to go in, but we are glad we did, and found that children under about 12 are free. A really helpful and welcoming member of staff when we entered, then after climbing all the way to the top watched a really informative video about the history of the tower and Viking Triangle and Waterford. Plus good views of the waterfront through the small windows! Lots of information boards on the remaining 2 floors - plus I enjoyed the Lego models on the ground floor! There's also a canon ball from 1650 lodged in the outside of the wall. So lots of see - our kids enjoyed it. I guess we had about 30-45 mins there.

Been visiting and then living here in Waterford for years but never visited this tower. This particular day had free admission so we popped in. I would gladly pay the small admission fee though, it was so interesting. It is the root to Waterford's history and how the city began. Highly recommend joining the guided tour (approx 50mins) rather then self guided, you can ask questions and gain many more interesting fact. Unfortunately I've forgotten the young ladies name who guided us but she worked at the Book of Kells last year (I learnt more interesting facts about this too), she was charming, friendly and passionate, thank you. Any tourist coming to Waterford, do not miss this.

Small but interesting tower with exhibits and a video showing the initial history and settlement of Waterford, as well as the building of the tower. £5 each which was reasonable. Just take care on the step & mind your head!

This is a simple but excellent attraction- affordable, interesting, and great place to start in Waterford! It gives a breakdown of the history, local landmarks, and an overview of the whole city. The spiral stairs in particular is excellent!

Very small but cool museum. It explains the history of the Vikings, Normans, and the English as they founded Waterford and fight over it through the ages.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Incredible place where history feels alive 🏰✨ Reginald’s Tower was one of the highlights of my time in Waterford. Knowing this was the exact spot where the Vikings founded Ireland’s first city made it feel so special. The name Waterford comes from the old Norse word Veðrafjǫrðr(meaning something like windy fjord) 🌊⚔️.Standing there, I truly felt like I was in the middle of that history. The tower is small but powerful. It’s the oldest civic building in Ireland 🇮🇪 and has been everything from a Viking stronghold to a Norman fort, a mint, a prison, and more. You can still see the original stonework, and touching those ancient walls gave me a strange but amazing feeling — like I was connected to the people who stood there centuries ago 🪨🕰️. Deffo, I will go back to take more pictures 😆 My phone died.

If you're in the oldest city in Ireland, it's worth seeing and learning where it all started. It's a quick video and self-guided tour that lasts about 30 minutes. Our family found it neat and our group ranged from 11 - 70 in age. Definitely worth the stop while in Waterford!

Wonderful museum with so many treasures! From Henry the VIII’s hat to gold stitched cloaks, it’s a great museum on Waterford. If you can do a guided tour, you definitely should. Splurge for wine in the ancient wine vault.

What a marvellous place.. the people are really friendly, the collection one of a kind, with some real top notch stories. The atmosphere is wonderful and the guides know their history. In other words, a real gem to visit.. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to be there..

A truly fascinating experience! The exhibits at the Waterford Treasures: Medieval Museum are expertly curated, featuring expertly conserved artifacts that offer a stunning glimpse into the city's rich past. The staff were exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the wonderful atmosphere. We purchased the Freedom Pass, which was absolutely worth it. It gives you access to five of the Waterford Treasures museums, making it a fantastic deal. If you're visiting Waterford, this museum is an absolute must-see!

Visited as part of the freedom pass (20euro) very nicely laid out, from the medieval wine cellar to the films on each floor giving more details about the exhibits. Enjoyed the story of the clergy clothes on the middle floor especially. The detail and craftsmanship of them is incredible!

I'd say that if you happen to be visiting Waterford this place is a must see. So rich in Irish history and lore. Give yourself about 2 hours to really take in everything, but you could rush through it in an hour. One thing I wish they'd add is a section on Irish mythology like Cú Chulainn, I feel like a lot of this has been lost to time.

Really enjoyed this museum. Great tour guide too. Lots of very historic information and displayes. Would definitely recommend a visit here.

Very nice museum. Very helpful and friendly staff. Great tour. We found out so much about history of Waterford. Can buy individual passes to different museums next door or can get one general pass. It worth to get general pass and visit time and silver museum too.

This 18th century townhouse was opened to the public in 2011 and you can see a lot of treasures of the Georgian and Victorian Waterford. The ground and first floors are full of 18th century glass, silver, furniture and paintings. The top floor then continues this walk through history up to 1970. Really interesting museum to learn a lot of about the city's history.

Did a self guided tour here on the freedom pass (20euro) was a beautiful building, with lots of interesting exhibits & artefacts. Top floor contains the history of the town, while the middle floor contains objects from history and are displayed in each room.

Firstly we would like to thank Mrs Rickert our lovely tour guide who gave a wonderful Bridgeton Experience, this is a must do experience when visiting the city, there is so much to see and here about we easily spent a couple of hours there.

Oh it's a lovely interior, interesting historical objects too, I'd recommend

I had a lot of fun on this tour today! My father and I went to the Bishop’s Palace on July 24, 2024 and were told that they had just started doing a Bridgerton inspired tour. After a mix up where we accidentally followed the walking tour guide instead (which was also fun) we went back for the tour of the palace and had a blast. The tour was basically giving us the latest and juiciest hot gos from 100+ years ago and it was great! Our lovely guide told us about some of the characters who’d lived in the building, other notable people in the area, and showed us around the absolutely beautiful first two floors. All in all it was a very fun tour. Get into the mindset that this is just your best girlfriend giving you the 411 on what’s happening and it’s good craic. Despite the theme being Bridgerton the tour is absolutely still appropriate for children. The guide slyly mentioned at one point that one man’s children couldn’t have all been his, but that was probably as raunchy as it got and I don’t think the child in the group picked up on it at all. All in all a very worth while tour and my father and I enjoyed ourselves very much even without him knowing a thing about Bridgerton.

We visited the Museum with our Community Care Group from Conna, from the very start Erin couldn't have been more helpful in helping to organize this as a few changes had to be made along the way, the Museum is wonderful and Ann, the housekeeper, beings it all to life, she's a great woman for the gossip!!!! On the same day half our group visited the Museum of Time, this too is well worth a visit, some interesting and enormous clocks and timepieces, beautiful places thanks and well done to all.

The Bridgerton tour is one you shouldn’t miss. The way the tour was given was both informative and very amusing. We had many good laughs and enjoyed the history of the Palace and the secrets of the family. Absolutely recommend the guided tour!!!

A lovely church, aesthetically pleasing, with some great history to admire and very friendly staff who make you feel welcome.

Beautiful Cathedral, the details atop the columns & plasterwork is sublime. Beautifully light and inspiring inside. Wish I could give a bonus point for the brilliant choice of WiFi password!

Simple yet elegant church. Must see the tomb of James Rices, where he designed his macabre tomb before he left for the pilgrim to Santiago di Compostella. Supposedly the famouse wedding of Strongbow and Aoife was held on this site, in the old church that has been built over.

This Cathedral is noted to be a very historic building..Of historic note about this site was where Strongbow tied the knot with Aoife in 1170..the current Cathedral was completed in 1779 and standing inside and outside this beautiful structure is a very special heartfelt experience…it has been mentioned that it may be the finest 18th Century building in Ireland…I spent 1&1/2 hours viewing the many aspects of the Cathedral…

Definitely a must see if you're in Waterford

Waterford has two Cathedrals and both were designed by John Roberts. The Georgians were ruthless in destroying older buildings to build their own style. They dropped bits of masonry from the roof to persuade the bishop to destroy the Gothic cathedral that once stood here. Whether this was a good swap or not is a matter of opinion so no 5 stars!

Amazing experience at Christ church Waterford. The place was absolutely beautiful and the musicians spectacular truly making you appreciate the beauty of music. We paid for the premium seats and were very lucky to get the front row but I would recommend being there early to get yourself a good seat. The most enjoyable night.

This is a fantastic historical museum. Do get the Freedom pass as that is the best value. Damien was a great guide. I would like to see more history on how time measurement devices evolved so visitors get a broader scope.

Very interesting & informative museum all about clocks & time keeping. Wide range of timepieces with lots of information and friendly staff on hand to ask questions. Visited as part of the freedom pass (20euro)

Amazing museum! Fascinating items everywhere! Make time, extra time in your schedule to visit all the floors of clocks. Looking forward to the 500 Cuckoo Clocks exhibit coming next year.

A fascinating and beautiful display of time pieces (plus a couple of music boxes and historical weapons!). Stunning battery of clocks and other things time. The experience was greatly enhanced by a kind, enthusiastic and well informed volunteer guide. I loved that the back of the museum, an old chapel, had a round window and peaked wooden ceiling which looked like a grandfather clock in itself. There may be a new display room in the future for cuckoo clocks.

Located in a old church, within the viking triangle, is this professional presented museum of all things time, we spent more than an hour here learning all about the history of time and how it effected Waterford, the exhibits are incredibly interesting.

A very unique place to visit when in Waterford. There are watches and clock from almost every period of time. The place is run by volunteers who were kind enough to explain the different types of watches and clocks on display. It is recommended to buy the 20 Euro pass for all the museums together. The ticket is valid for about three months. If you want to learn about the history of time, this place is a must visit.

Got to see all types of vintage clocks with pendulums, hand watches, wall hangers knowing a bit of history behind them. Very well maintained by the team. Thanks to the lovely member at the welcome desk for the guidance.

My family and I came here in September 2025. We were a group of 7. We enjoyed ourselves. I loved the displays of beautiful crystal. I have a lot of Waterford Crystal and love looking at their new items. My husband bought a round of bubbly that was served in Lismore crystal. That was delightful! Four of us took the tour together. My husband and I visited about 20 years ago and took the tour then also. That's when I fell in love with Waterford Crystal. We loved the history and watching the people work at the different stations. This factory is where they make the specialty items, such as awards for different sporting events, the ball for new year's eve on Time Square, and many other interesting things. I highly recommend visiting here and taking the tour.

Fascinating 45 minute guided tour learning about the history & how this world famous factory make their stunning crystal glass products. The craftsmanship & attention to detail is so admirable. Many of their products are readily available for purchase from their shop. Highly recommended & good value given the craft activities you get to see from closeup.

Lovely guided factory tour giving the history of Waterford Crystal and the whole behind the scenes operations. Great information! And beautiful crystal showroom.

Dragged my husband on this tour and he actually loved it! Great to learn about the history and to see the craftsmen and women at work. Beautiful!

Absolutely beautiful place to be!! Very deep history and amazing products!!!! I highly recommend stopping by and taking a tour! This place is spectacular!! (Connor is an absolute legend!!!!! Tell him thank you for the wood)

This has been our favorite part of our trip to Ireland so far. The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and you get to see the everyday working of the factory. They take you through each step of the process and let you watch real work being done. We could have sat and watched the craftsmen for hours. Some of the craftsmen also interacted with the tour, giving more insights into projects they’re working on and even handed us some crystal they were working on to show the cutting they had just completed.

Amazing experience seeing these skilled artisans and craftsmen at work. The showroom is set up beautifully to feature and showcase their exquisite creations!

Lovely peaceful atmosphere and charming interior. Also has a beautiful painted mural outside

Nice cathedral to visit & its surrounding buildings/street are clean & safe.

Very unusual interior decoration of the cathedral. It looks more like an opera or theater, rather than a place of worship. It's beautiful though. What's even more interesting is the crucial event that took place there - the wedding of Strongbow and Aoife which put an end to tje viking era of Ireland. And... started the English interference (to put it mildly) of England in Irish affairs.

A good example of Georgian church design, the Cathedral was the first Catholic Cathedral to open in Ireland in 1823. It was designed by John Roberts who also designed the Anglican Cathedral in the city

Ireland’s oldest catholic cathedral. The cathedral is a few minutes walk away from the bus station The cathedral is quite grand and the stained glass are over 250 years old. The cathedral is a must visit if you are in Waterford.

A stunning building and a nice early mass. Very impressive

A must see!

Amazing place and brilliant small-group tour from Deirdre, taking us on a journey of Irish mourning practises and rituals through time from 1400s to 20th century - in the one house. I learned a lot and it was quite moving, especially towards the end. Do make time for it you won't regret it.

Laura did an excellent job telling us all about the history of the Irish wake and how it evolved. She had a great irish sense of humour and it was kind if an adventure she guided us through. Very interesting and educational. Thank you so much! Highly recommend!

This is a great little museum, highly recommend. The tour takes about 50 minutes and gives a great insight into the rituals of death and how it's celebrated in Ireland and also the fascinating history of the city and the building which houses the museum. There are some great artefacts on display too. We had 2 kids with us, ages 8 and 10 and they loved it. Our guide was Dierdre and she was excellent, very friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. This is well worth a visit.

The Wake museum was an interesting experience that brings you on a guided tour around a period building where, back then, a selected number of terminally ill people could stay for free in return for praying for the owner's health. (It's something explained in more detail by the guide... I won't spoil it for you). The tour will take about an hour and I believe was worth the money even if the property is quite small. Definitely would recommend the experience.

Me and my wife did the tour with a lovely lady and we both really enjoyed it. The tour guide really knows her things about the history and went into detail about everything. And they did an amazing job fixing the buildings up. Highly recommend a visiting.

Absolutely loved it! It was so fun and engaging. Tobie, the tour guide was interesting and funny.

A wonderful and immersive experience. Liam brought the history of wakes to life (pardon the pun) and also gave us an insight into the rich history and traditions of Ireland, over the past millennia. Can’t recommend enough!

From all the museums we visited in the Viking Triangle, this one was the only one we felt that it wouldn’t have been bad to actually skip it. Don’t get me wrong, it is interesting and takes you on a journey through the Irish history of using silver. But it is incredibly small, more like an exhibition instead of a full museum.

Located within the vikings triangle, is this wonderful (small)museum dedicated to silver treasures, to get excellent value best to visit here in conjunction with the freedom of waterford pass.

A lovely museum on a topic rarely explored. Do get the Freedom pass as it is the best value. Lots of great things to see here but two cases were mislabeled.

Added another star just now due to a thoughtful and positive response to my comments from the museum (thank you). There's a good display of sumptuous silver but no other level to interact with what I hoped would be a good learning experience about Irish silver. There is a silver craftsperson in the museum who may be interesting to learn from but they were busy and animated over sales. I gave them space to interact with customers and came back later to ask my question about an 200 year old piece of Dublin silver ...I didn't feel the staff member was particularly interested as she said we should go ask at another museum! So, despite the display, we found this museum lacking.

Small museum but packed full of silver exhibits, many different sizes, shapes & uses. Some beautiful pieces on display, particularly on the banquet table. Would have been nice to have a little information board documenting the manufacture & use of some of the objects. Visited as part of the freedom pass (20euro)

Museum has a display of vintage silverware from the 1700’s-1800’s. Good to visit during Waterford stay. Located near the Waterford treasure museum.

We visited this Museum as part of the combined Waterford Museums ticket and really enjoyed it. The collection is amazing and pieces are beautiful. Irish silver, even those from the churches rather than homes, is surprisingly simple and not as ornate as silver from other countries. The staff are knowledgeable about the collection.

Guided tour was very informative and it was amazing being able to watch the master craftsmen at work. The history was well explained as was the process to become a mature craftsman. Beautiful display pieces and commissions

Very informative tour, they answered any question we had. The tour leader was great. I liked the tour as I enjoy knowing how things are made. The prices were higher than I was expecting and the quality is outstanding. The amount of training an experience the craftsman need is very significant. The tour will teach you a lot. Recommend taking the tour.

Great guided factory tour where you can see all stages of production from wood shop to glass blowing to finish work is well worth the cost.

We very much enjoyed the factory tour, though we never learned where they get the materials to make crystal. I wanted to buy an item which was €120 or so and discounted to €89. It was however €34 on Waterford's USA and €85 on Waterford's UK website. I asked for a price match and the staff member had to ask the manager. She agreed, but I assumed that I would be paying €34. One should not have to consult a manager to give a price match with the price in their own UK site and inform customer that it is the only site with which they will price match.

A visit to Waterford surely isn't complete without a visit to the Waterford Crystal shop. But I was very disappointed. The displays are quite impressive but hugely overpriced. It was sterile and more of a showcase than a shop. If you have a spare 10 minutes, take a look but if you want to purchase, you'll need some serious dollar

Reasonable price to tour the factory, and very interesting. Plenty on display in the store, but most above my price level

Amazing place. Better to book tickets in advance but not necessarily required. The staff is very nice and helpful. It's a wonderful way to learn how the crystals are made, we could have stay there for hours to watch the tradesmen at work. It's a 50 min tour. Best experience. I went on a really good day. There was a festival going on waterford on that day. Loved it.

Signs and information very good. Spend time looking for the signs as they are not easy to spot. Amazing churches and history going back to.Vicking times making Warerford the oldest City in Ireland

Waterford City has so much History. I highly recommend walking around to see for yourself. My son and I enjoyed the King of the Vikings ( it's a must). Book online to avoid disappointment. Lots of Museums and Restaurants in this quarter also. Waterford Crystal, Bishops Palace, Medieval Museum, The Time Museum, The Wake Museum, Silver Museum, Check out Burke's Gift Shop, The Mall for that unique Irish Gift.

Unfortunately the Giant dragon slayer sword wasn’t there because a car reversed on it! I loved Waterford with all its Viking history.

Took us a while to realise this is an area of Waterford, rather than a specific spot on the map! The triangle is a historical section of Waterford that was walled and fortified. There is a model outside Reginald Tower on the water front (pictured) that shows it, and from there, you can get an idea of what the triangle actually is. There's also an old section of the wall that has preserved inside Penney's store.

The Viking Truangle was very busy. Amazing Architecture. Very beautiful sopt!

Really nice..Pick up the sword if you can..

Apparently Waterford's oldest street in Ireland's oldest City..... That's a lot of history #vikings #waterford

Interesting way of learning the history of the Vikings. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. VR itself was good enough quality in my opinion (not amazing either) but it was also my first time trying it out so I have nothing to compare it to. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone who experiences motion sickness. Audio was hard to understand at times unfortunately. All in all - reasonably priced, and a quick, fun activity.

One of the only two things that made Waterford a worthwhile visit. The price is reasonable for a short fun activity and the staff, especially the viking guide was fun and super charismatic. Only slight disappointment was the VR experience itself. It was great but not super amazing quality and the story while informative and interesting could have used some more action scenes and truly make you take part in some raiding - I mean why else would you go to experience the life of Vikings in VR???

we went to do this escape the rain in Tramore it was a very good experience there is a good bit of talking at start & 2nd 1/2 is vr part -- its well worth the money -- my kids thought vr tech was a little bit outdated i thought it was great!! -- lady giving talk was v knowledgeable

A great VR (virtual reality) experience for adults and children alike… beats the rain! Strongly recommended! I recommend calling to find out the times of the next show. You can book your 30 min session in advance to avoid disappointment.

What an incredible experience - the staff were incredibly knowledgeable and professional - they honored a day change in our travel itinerary with grace and understanding and made sure we got to take part in the experience. absolutely wonderful experience!

I was a bit skeptical of this being worth the time and money, but it was the highlight of our visit to Waterford. Definitely worth it and I highly recommend it. It is a virtual reality experience that journeys through the past of Viking history.

Nice place to visit, the whole place is like a carnival festival. There big sword kept there which is beautifully carved by viking stories. There is also a big wooden statue of viking king half embedded in wall, which is a nice spot to take a picture. It is right besides the church, there a bust stop nearby also a pay car park. Ifvyou are planning to spend a day somewhere in Waterford , then this is the best pace to go. This place is Street food lovers heaven, there are many stalls along the road where you can try different street food.

Great 40 minute guided tour from Toby which is free with €20 4 Museum ticket. Lots of interesting insight's into local sights within short, easy walking distance including seeing the oldest neighbourhood in Ireland close to the Reginald Tower with well preserved buildings dating back to 15th Century.

Deidre (sp?) was knowledgeable and personable. It was a lovely way to spend an hour leaning about the Viking Triangle and Ireland’s oldest city. She did a great job of weaving the specifics of the tour with Ireland’s broader history.

Jamie was a fantastic guide- informative, friendly, and entertaining. He even chased us down to recommend a wonderful place for lunch. Outstanding!

Great tour by Jamie. Lasted precisely 35min, but very informative and I learned a great deal of information about Waterford. Definitely a must do activity if you're visiting the city.

Really good. Tells you lots of interesting history. Laura was really fun.

Great tour from Toby.

A very bright, welcoming and friendly place. The centre is home to a small community of Presentation and Christian Brothers

Very calm place. Tomb is situated inside the Church.

The Edmund Rice International Heritage Centre in Waterford, Ireland, is the resting place of Edmund Rice, founder of the Christian and Presentation Brothers. It is also the site of an impressive visitor centre, thriving community centre and beautiful chapel. Admission is free, and all are welcome.

The most beautiful Sacred Place in Waterford City. The Spirit of Edmund Rice is alive and Well

A perfect piece of Waterford's history, The Edmund Rice Heritage Center has a beautiful museum and gift shop. It also has a beautiful newly built Christian church

Centrally located with plenty of parking the staff are just so helpful! If you get a chance you will have to visit the museum and find out about the work that Edmund Rice did in Waterford city!

If you love history and education combined with a touch of faith then this is the place to visit! Excellent staff and the Brothers of the order are very good.

Best distillery tour in Ireland!!! It was the most tasty whisky we had as well. Very educational, with their main focus being the barley. They are very busy proving that barley has just as many flavor complexities as grapes in wine. We really enjoyed the in-depth tour and history of the property. I was impressed with the owners focus. He is bringing new life into a community that had previously found their calling in beer. It's a close-knit group running the operation locally with a stunning result. I'm looking forward to the future of the whisky. 👏

One of the best and most innovative modern distilleries, and the process and the people create some of the best whisk(e)y in the world. This is the next generation and evolution of whisk(e)y. Most importantly at the distillery, the experience and the whiskey are both amazing. It's not on everyone's map for Irish whisk(e)y and that is an amazing oversight in my opinion. If you plant your feet in Ireland more than a few hours, make sure to make your way to Waterford, and say hi to Meghan who made an already great time even better!

We visited Waterford Whisky today where Lauren gave us the best distillery tour. Waterford has taken the concept of terroir and applied it to whisky with great success. They have standardized their production process, using the same distillation techniques, same water, same yeast, same barrels for every batch. The only variable is the barley. The best barley is said to come from southeast Ireland. Some grows by the sea, in sandy soil. Some in boggy inland fields. Some in rocky soil. It affects the flavor of the barley. Other distilleries buy bulk commodity barley from whomever. Waterford buys from the individual farmers. Each bottle has a code that you can use to find the farm that grew the barley, in addition to lots of other information about who distilled, where the specific barrels came from, all manner of interesting details about the whisky in that bottle. We tasted several different whiskies, they were different from each other, but they were uniformly excellent. In an age where whisky brands are falling over each other aging their spirits in increasingly crazy barrels ("this spends 3 years in ex-bourbon barrels, then 6 months in rum casks, and finishes for 2 months in beer barrels..."), it's refreshing to have a clean whisky taste. Waterford is correct: it's all about the barley. Single farm barley. The best whisky!

Cool distillery. Tour was great with a small shop

The Lakefield1.1 is a very special whiskey with a true Irish soul. My best birthday's present. I hope to visit that farm during my next trip to Ireland

Who knew that the impact of terroir on flavor is every bit as much a thing for Irish whisky as it is for French wine? Waterford, that's who. They've actually proven this via rigorous lab analysis (think CSI meets aromatherapy) but you don't need to know the science behind it to appreciate the distinctive complexity of both their single farm organic and their layered, cuvée whiskies. A toast to the Tēireoir!

We did the tour yesterday. We had a great time was very informative and the guide had great knowledge about all aspects of the distillery and it's history. Well worth a visit.. the whiskey tasting at the end was very enjoyable

An excellent place to experience food luxury. We had risotto, soup of the day and tiramisu. Everything was perfectly made and served. I would highly appreciate the staff's warm behavior and service as well which added a double joy to the overall experience.

One of the best restaurants in Waterford, and has been for a long time. Food is wonderful. Staff are so attentive and friendly. The decor is warm and inviting. Can't recommend enough.

Great location, reservations available with Open Table. They've a new menu, as of mid-October 2025. Delicious special of Hake. Great desserts, when in doubt, choose chocolate! Delightful servers!

A must be restaurant in Waterford. Food is unbelievable. We had beef Rib and pork risotto. Absolute stunning. Can wait to come back and try the rest of the menu. Fair play to you chef!

I visited here during a midweek trip to the Viking city and stumbled across Momo Restaurant. The lady at reception kindly offered me a table which I was not expecting as the restaurant was very busy. The menu is varied and there's something for everyone and ultimately I ordered the pan fried hake with mussels, green veg (broccoli and asparagus) served with a side dish of roast potato. The hake was cooked to perfection and there was a generous portion size of 2 fillets. The veg and accompanying sauce were also delicious. The potatoes deserve a place on the menu by themselves. The best roast potatoes I've ever eaten. Deliciously flavoured, crispy edges and floury inside. I ate an entire bowl of them and would honestly bo back for them alone. Occasionally I come across places like Momo who have such a love for food that it shows on every dish. Couldn't be better.

Excellent vegan options, high protein great quality. I ate here twice. Friendly helpful staff, nice interior, would go again

Lovely staff and a nice setting, but €15 for a wrap on its own just can’t be justified. I totally understand that rates, bills, and wages all need to be covered, but at that price, even a few chips or a small salad on the side would make a big difference.

Food: Food was very delicious and felt very flavourful. Starters could have been better but were still full of flavours. Ambience: ambience was quite good, warm and cozy Service: their staff was very friendly. They also laughed and joked with us and made sure we had a nice time

Food was delicious and tasty, atmosphere was reasy going and staff were very professional and helpful

Needs reservation as it’s in prime place and less table downstairs. We ordered some of the appetizers and main course and found it to be delicious. Only two points about two dishes. Vegetable biryani we said we want it spicy and it was too spicy that it had lost its flavor. Paneer tikka masala was surprisingly sweet otherwise it is medium spicy by the name. The host was amazing and knows how to market his restaurant. Overall service was also great and quick.

We ordered aaloo tikki,boti kebab,daal tarka,bhindi, saag paneer. Starters were not tasty as it wasn't in Indian street food style. But they haven't charged us for aloo tikki which was appreciated. Main course was fine. If you are looking for authentic Indian food then that's not the place.

Ordered Onion Bhajis for starters, Tamarind Chicken and Saag Aloo for mains. Without a doubt, the best Indian meal I’ve ever had! The flavours were unbelievable. We will be back.

Went here for dinner yesterday. Ordered lamb biryani and chicken biryani. We got an overcooked biryani item that had no taste at all. Will not go there again.. Very bad experience..

The food here was great, high quality, flavoursome, well presented and reasonably priced. They also have good vegan options. Staff were polite and helpful. Will go again

Lovely spot to pray but terrible obscenities were shouted in at me from youths. Mind yourself and god bless

I go to mass here twice a week and it's a lovely mass and there are nuns there to that add something spiritual to it...

Very peaceful, calm and quiet environment to relax and think about life.

Lovely church. Pitty that Franciscans are leaving Waterford. Big loss for the city

Love the Friary ,very welcoming peaceful place to sit .

The Spirit of God can be felt there and also Mass 1.05 each day.

Peaceful and calming beautiful architecture

I’m over from Spain and was recommended This place. I ordered Turkish Eggs which were delicious! Our waitress Abby, was so kind and helpful, she went above and beyond and even gave us recommendations of what to do in Waterford. 10/10

Bishop's Palace Cafe is a great place to stop for a break. The staff are very accommodating and the atmosphere is relaxing. They have a nice outdoor seating area as well. The coffee was lovely and the pastry was delicious. A solid choice if you're visiting the museum.

To be honest, of all the places I've been, I left a review if it's the best place I've ever eaten. The place is wonderful, very cozy, the price is wonderful, and let's talk about the food. The food is fresh, high quality, in the right portion. The cake is moist and not too sweet. I loved the orange cake. The service is very fast, the food is ready very quickly. The iced tea is wonderful. It couldn't be more than 10/10. Perfection.

Great place to take a tasty pause between exploring the city’s attractions 😋

This place is wonderful. The service is great, the place is super nice and the food is perfect. Everything is delicious. I recommend it 100%.

Very tasty, healthy & freshly prepared dishes. I really enjoyed the gluten-free focaccia which was packed full of delightful flavours. My partner's egg florentine was also good. We appreciated the jug of water too. You get a 10% discount if you buy the €20, 4 museum ticket.

Fabulous for lunch. Fabulous staff really helpful. Quick service very tasty food

Nice tower to sightsee as part of the medieval city wall. Even with nice lighting in the night.

Because of the historical significance of these medieval towers and the remaining wall, it’s worth viewing them, but it’s a shame the city isn’t doing more to showcase these “Waterford Treasures.” This one is basically a car park. A sign posted says “The ‘project’ is part-financed by European Community”. what project? A car park? The city should make a buffer zone of park land with a walking trail connecting the medieval wall sections and towers. Remove development and car parks with no historical importance.

This place is part of the old city walls and as such there is no public access to the inside of the property at this time. The external of the building may be viewed from several locations.

Waterford is tightly packed with history, this is one of the towers to the old city walls which has been restored

A remarkable tower not promoted enough.

See what our medieval ancestors saw.. In a car park

Just behind Penneys and not a lot to see
