L. R.

A small restaurant lit with fairy lights and candles coupled with slow relaxing ambient music. Though a small venue the tables are spaced out quite well so you are not on top of the other guests. The decor makes you feel like you are in a mountain village in Spain. The service staff were very attentive, proactive and thoughtful. They engage really well with guests. The food was fantastic, comes piping hot, the pork belly melts in your mouth and the chicken was extremely tender and moist, everything was well seasoned and tasty. It’s a great spot for a special occasion dinner in Waterford

Delicious food and great service. We've ordered the charcuterie & cheese board for starter, which was really nice, especially the bread! For the main, I had a pork belly which was cooked beautifully and had a lovely crackling. The service was so fast that we were in and out in 30min. Highly recommend it.

B. B.

Had a meal here on August 30th. The food was absolutely delicious. Very prompt service. Very friendly, helpful staff. Can't wait to visit again! 10 out of 10. ❤

Food was absolutely delicious, really couldn't fault it. Menu could be a little more adventurous in relation to vegetarian options. The atmosphere in the room is not great due to the noise. Service was not what was expected - slow and got charged for tea/coffee which we never received. Undecided if I would visit again.

D. M.

The pork belly was cooked to perfection in my books.The burger was good according to the husband. The staff were friendly.Ambience is cozy the right vibe on a lunch time. Food Plating is instagram worthy 😉

R. P.

This place is simply amazing! Great food, great staff! Highly recommended

L. M.

Such a warm and cosy atmosphere the minute you walk in. Lovely friendly staff, approaching us straight away. We were in time for the early bird menu which is a starter and a main for €23. I had the St Tolas Goats Cheese Starter which was lovely and then the prawn linguine which has to be the best I've ever had! A big portion and so filling. They also make great cocktails and have an extensive wine menu. Will definitely be going again.

A. B.

Beautiful food, lovely atmosphere and very attentive staff. Thank you for a lovely evening.

N. F. A.

Lovely restaurant in Waterford with plenty of Mediterranean options as well as local delis. Children menu is really nice and spirit's options favouring the restaurant name. Good options as well if you are vegetarian or celiac. Service nice and local with character.

M. H.

Best burger in Waterford. One of the best restaurants to go to. Great food and great service.

K. N.

A fine cuisine place that has character. However it might be a bit overrated as the choice of foods is limited, with a lack of veggie options. While the starter is filling, the deserts are exploding. The balance needs to be made and more consistency between portion sizes are needed. The price of food is a bit much, but being in a tourist place in Ireland, one has to expect that. At least the food tasted fresh, rather than long life shelf produce.

J. H.

Absolutely fantastic in every way...the atmosphere..the decor...the lovely friendly and efficient staff...and the food. Literally bouncing off plate was so fresh...could not fault it in any way...must say best restaurant I've been to in years..will definitely go back...

S. B.

M. S. R.

Always good! Love the Prawn pil pil, such a tasty starter! ❤️

B.

An annual event - Cormac opens for a lunch time set menu with all proceeds going to charity. A great host and excellent food.

P. M.

Good food, great service, lovely armosphere

J. J. R.

Great food, superb service

I. O.

We were visiting Tramore and decided to stop in Waterford for food. Botega&Burzza was our choice and we absolutely loved it! I recommend Prawn Tagiatelli and it was delicious, a lot of prawns and perfect tomato sauce. Busy spot, long line to get in and it's absolutely worth the wait!

A. B.

Treated my bestfriend here for her birthday, atmosphere and decor was amazing! Staff were super bubbly and sweet, easy to approach! Very kind! Service was fast! Food was great! Great variety and selection of all sorts of food you may fancy! Amazing wine selection. Everything is very affordable. Good social distancing measures are being followed too and the place is very clean! I highly recommend eating here, it was a fantastic experience! 10/10

A. F.

The big buzz for me about Bodega is the decor. Plus they are the only restaurant in Ireland I have come across that knows how an Americano is actually made. A really interesting menu with good food though a little on the pricey side.

N. F.

Loved it.. great place lovely food nicely priced! 2 course and a glass of wine for less than 30e

M. C.

The food, service, wine and atmosphere is always excellent here! We have lots of staff events in Bodega and have never ever been disappointed. The food is to die for!

M. P.

Beautiful food, lovely cocktails & great service 🙂

g. c.

Amazing Pizza, nice wine and good service.

J. K.

Cocktails were delicious, food and service were exemplary, very unique and tasty menu. Fresh Dunmore lobster on the specials board was such a treat. Thanks to all @ Bodega we will be back.

M. D.

Great food, nice staff, must place to visit in Ireland

C. M.

Had a wonderful time....food was delicious, the service was excellent, all the COVID-19 regulations strictly adhered to. Cormac and his team run a very tight ship. Thank you all for a superb night. Happy Christmas!!!! Aidan and Carmel McGrath x

A. P.

Our starter's were wonderful and main courses looked amazing. The little we ate of them was lovely but unfortunately they didn't bring one of our main courses and to cut a long story short it was not dealt with very well by the manager, he was not very nice. We left without dessert or coffee, they did not charge us for the wine. ..but the night was ruined. It was so sad as we had been really looking forward to it having driven down from Wicklow. Ah well probably won't be going back.

J. S.

I really enjoyed my food it was reasonable in price. The drinks were great. This can be a hit and miss venue sometimes, sometimes the food isn't always as good. People at my table had a real issue witj the service it was slow and we were waiting a little to order/for help sometimes but to be fair the restaurant was very busy. The staff were very nice.

R. A.

Excellent food & drink, great staff.

T. B.

Best dining experience we have had in a long time. The flavours are wonderful. The atmosphere is cozy yet spacious. Friendly, efficient staff. And all at a very reasonable price. What's not to like. 👍👍👍👍👍

k. l.

Great food nice staff

D. N.

Beautiful atmosphere and very friendly staff. The food is always excellent.

E. C.

Lovely place. We walked in off the street, it was very very busy. They squeezed us in. We only had main course, but both of them were delicious. Fish was done to perfection. Ps booking is advised.

S. G. M.

Good menu. Tasty food. Best pil pil prawns I've eaten outside of Spain. Enjoyed every morsel. Wine selection good. Cheese board sparse. Had to ask specially for bread. Servers friendly and helpful. Would return for another try. Loved the athmosphere.

C. M.

Lovely spot, and the staff make you really at ease the second you're greeted at the door. Food is delicious and they've got a great selection of drinks too.

G. W.

Best restaurant in Waterford city. Always recommend to visitors and friends from out of town. Roll on opening back up

A. F.

Went there two or three times. Fairly narrow as space but well decorated, with a Spanish/Mediterranean touch. Good food, high quality of ingredients (e.g. fresh fish) and fine recipes.

S. C.

Amazing staff, very friendly and caring. The food was great and arrived very fast even though we were on a small size group.

S. B.

This place needs to be 30% bigger. The tables, the bathroom, the gap between tables, the space at your feet, etc. It's kinda funny. But the food is 30% better than most restaurants and is really exceptional. The chef clearly has a remarkable talent for combining flavours, so the dishes are surprising and very tasty. The atmosphere is cosy with good lighting and colours and the staff are friendly and efficient. One of the waitresses has an amazing hoop too. Very highly recommended.

b. b.

Excellent service, delicious food! Love the quaint atmosphere and I cannot say enough good things about the server! Knowledgeable, friendly, great service and he really knew his wines!

L. T.

An excellent restaurant, in a very convenient location. The local is very warm, in classic style. Waiters are extremely professional and very kind, with particular attention to the clients. Food is excellent, offering a variety of "classical" dishes and revisitation of common foods, in a very interesting mix of old and new. Pricing is very good, not too expensive and very proportionate to what you can get. Strongly suggest the restaurant if you happen to be in Waterford. I'll be back to Bodega next time I'll be in Waterford.

S. H.

Went here with my 2 kids to have lunch with a friend and her 6 month old baby, the staff were super friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. The menu was extensive and delicious, they even have complimentary baby bowls with mash potatoes, veg and gravy which my little boy loved! Would definitely recommend this place if you are in Waterford. Will visit again 🙂

M. C.

Delicious food, friendly staff and cosy atmosphere

M. B.

Tentative, friendly staff, great ambience. The food gets 5 stars, flavours, cooked to perfection. Highly recommend the pork belly...amazing crackling!

P. K.

Food was fantastic. Had the venison - was melt in the mouth. Food portions were perfect. One of the best kids menus I've ever seen - none of the sausage, beans and mash that other places serve - an adult would have been happy with their menu too. How many kids menus have you seen where pork belly was an option! And for 7 euro it was great value. Had the metalman pale ale that they brew in the place - citrusy and very pleasant. All round probably one of the best restaurant meals I've had in quite a while. P.S. And the service was great too.

A. B.

Fab food, great service but restaurant was cold!

E. S.

Nice food and interesting menu, a bit overpriced though.

N. D.

Lovely restaurant with a very attentive and friendly staff. The decor is interesting and gives the place a lovely vibe. Great food, good selection of wines and beers. Definitely recommend popping in.

r. c.

Food was good but service was a little lack lustre. Our waitress was on the phone while dropping (almost literally) down our drinks I understand that it's busy with Christmas and things but there was a certain cut off point that's allowe.

C. C.

Great food, friendly staff, fantastic atmosphere

Great lunch with my daughters. Excellent service, food and nice few glasses of wine. Restaurant a little bit cold. Possibly where we were located.

N. M.

Croque madame was just such a comfort eat for lunchtime yesterday. The combo of the ham, cheese and bechamel sauce was just delicious, very filling too. Really loved the smokey flavours would have preferred a runny egg but understand theyre a minefield for restaurants. Lunch menu is really nice and will pay another visit soo

(Translated) Absolutely divine restaurant in Waterford. On the door, the "from the farm to the fork" announces the color: local meats, fish, vegetables and cheeses, local beers. The dishes are delicious and beautifully prepared: very fine and refined. Very good food that I highly recommend! And to not spoil anything, the waitresses are very friendly and cheerful. (Original) Restaurant absoluement divin à Waterford. Sur la porte, le "from the farm to the fork" annonce bien la couleur : des viandes, poissons, légumes et fromages locaux, des bières locales. Les plats sont délicieux et magnifiquement préparés : très fins et raffinés. De la très bonne cuisine que je recommande vivement ! Et pour ne rien gâcher, les serveuses sont très aimables et souriantes.
