Reviews of The Old Couch Café
P. C.Excellent service, tasty and creative food. Definitely worth the visit. It's also very reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. My favourite must have been scallops and various breads at the start. I think venison I got was a bit overcooked and the same for pork, but that could just be my personal preference. The wine pairings we got were excellent and I can't wait to come again.
G. K.Honestly probably one of THE BEST places you can eat in Waterford! I have eaten in places that are rated as a "Michelin Star" and leave very disappointed - This is BETTER than any Michelin restaurant I have eaten in - The feeling of being relaxed and enjoying the food and the night is what stood out to me and I was there with my partner for my 40th Birthday for at least 3hrs - and honestly it felt like 1hr as we had the most exquistie food. The chef and pastry chef, the owners are seriously onto a Winner with everything here!
a. t.Amazing & the hosts were so accomadating. A must on your gourmet bucket list.
L. D.This quirky little cafe opened recently in Waterford City. I was lucky enough to taste a fab breakfast before they changed the opening hours to Lunch & Dinner. Also got to experience their first pop up Set Menu evening 'Cafe meets Fine Dining' and what a treat. The cafe is small but packed with character, the owners who do everything from cooking & baking to serving themselves are so lovely, the food is exceptional! All ingredients are sourced locally and everything made from scratch in-house! Well worth a visit! 😊
D. E.Excellent dining experience in an intimate setting. The food is super, the menu is full of surprises. The service is attentive and still unobtrusive. The quirky decor provides ample talking points between courses. This is probably Waterford's best restaurant since Keith Boyle relocated to Castlecomber.
C. P.The Old Couch is an absolute gem. Simply the best place for food in Waterford City and I won't be told other wise! Since their opening I have rarely eaten out elsewhere because what more would you want; the menu is lovely, the food is just perfection and service is always brilliant. If you want great food in a funky setting then look no further. Great veggie options and make sure to leave room for dessert. Also hugely recommend afternoon tea if you're lucky enough to get a booking!
C. M. G.Really enjoyed my visit to Old Couch Cafe. The service and atmosphere were relaxed and friendly. Excellent value 6 course menu and the food was amazing. I really enjoyed the venison and scallops. Well worked flavours. I will most definitely return the next time I'm in Waterford.
J. B.Waterford has a gem, and it's here. Sophisticated, elegant and served with the soul that it took to source and present. It's not a meal to enjoy and leave, but an evenings dining experience which time must be taken to fully appreciate.
Quirky premises but the clued up will find it and reward themselves with excellent food
C. D.Place was gorgeous, very spaceous, food was very very good and worth of the price.
A. L.We came across this small restaurant quite by accident and are so glad we did! On the last evening of our brief stop in Waterford, this was the absolute highlight. Lovely, high quality food, imaginatively presented. We would thoroughly recommend.
D. W.This is what you would call the hidden gem of Wateford City food. I've admired this place from afar for far too long. From the moment you step inside until you waddle back out it is just perfect. With just 5 tables, you need to book to secure your spot. I decided to book afternoon tea for my husbands birthday. It has been the first indoor dining experience since Covid and sitting in made it feel like 2019 again. There was no fear as the place is spaced perfectly. I had looked at the menu before and to be honest it didnt do it justice. Every bite had such amazing flavour. I love the idea of just having sliced bread and you put the toppings on which meant you controlled how much you had. We cleaned the tray of everything as it was a sin to leave even a crumb behind. The onwers Damira Levacic & Przemyslaw Muszynski have created one of, if not the best cafe/restaurant in Waterford and I would urge anyone coming to our little city to book a place here. I cannot wait to go back and have many a meal more there.
S. K.This little gem is a new addition to the Waterford scene. It is just off the quays on O'Connell street.
It has a big window and clear facade which allows plenty of daylight to enter. The interior is creative and has its own style and touch.
The pastries that Damira prepare are really out of the box and delicious. Coffee is good. I still didn't get to try any of the breakfast and lunch items.
Damira & Przemyslaw (the owners) are very friendly and welcoming.
There is really true potential in this place. I would really recommend it especially it is a new small business in town.
M. R.Fantastic spot on O'Connell Street in Waterford City for lunch or dinner. Had the beef stew with homemade brown bread 😋. Owners are lovely everything super fresh. Make sure to check out Axe Junkies just up the road from Old couch cafe also 🙂 for something to do after.
J. F.Enjoyed a lovely dinner recently at the Old Couch Café, up there with some of the best meals I've ever had. I would honestly travel back to Waterford just to eat here again.
G. R.One of the best food experiences in Ireland, if not the best! From the food, the wine, the amazing service and even the atmosphere, they were all just exceptional. 👏🏻👏🏻
S. M.Most amazing meal that I've ever had, the atmosphere, the service was excellent.... A most enjoyable evening... I'd recommend it wholeheartedly... We will definitely be back really soon.....
J. B.We had a delicious meal. I can't recommend The Old Couch enough. The menu is creative and interesting and the food is fantastic!
T. F.Great coffee and equally lovely service - a lovely addition to Waterford. The food menu is also refined and simple. Looking forward to going back!
j. b.One of the best pieces of fine dining I have ever experienced the food was to die for all very seasonal it gets away from your normal restraunt menue and gives you the experience of other beautiful ingredients that are out there I would recommend to give this place a try fine dining at its best well done to the owners and staff
I. V.One can see and feel that the driving force behind this place are people with unique ideas who care and love what they do.
The menu is creative and well balanced. One of the best meals I had in a restaurant. Familiar ingredients were shaped into something new and exciting. Most importantly, everything was delicious.
Warm and cosy interior. Simple but beautiful.
We will be travelling back to Waterford just for the Old Couch Cafe.
T. F.This is definitely my favourite place to eat in Waterford. Third time back today and it didn't disappoint! The food is always presented beautifully, almost too good to eat! Great for lunch and dinner and afternoon tea here is out of this world, on a different level to anything I've had before , really demonstrating skill and passion for creating tasty food. The atmosphere is chilled, the decor is on point and you'd be hard pressed to find a better casual fine dining experience. Staff very friendly and totally respectful of COVID 19 restrictions. Can't wait to go back!
A. K.Potentially the best place to dine in ireland. 6 courses in heaven and impeccable service.
M. T.A hidden gem of a cafe in the heart of Waterford. I cannot recommend the Old Couch enough! The food is outstanding and you can really taste the love and attention that they put into the food and that this is more than just a job for them. The atmosphere is always great in the cafe and with a constant changing / evolving menu, there is always something new to love.
N. S.Absolutely stunning afternoon tea here with my friend. Service was attentive but discreet, food Michelin star standard, price unbelievably good value! Lovely and relaxed setting and unlimited coffee refills -- we're still raving about it to everyone two weeks later!
E. J. S.Amazing food, great prices I really love and recommend this place.
A. B.We had a lovely dinner here recently. Cannot recommend this place enough. Staff were excellent and massively friendly. Food was superb, best meal I have ever had in Waterford. Will be going back again extremely soon.
r. o.We had an amazing time today enjoying their afternoon tea! Damira was fabulous looking after us, the place was beautiful and the food was incredible.
Lemon, poppy seed & almond scones with jam & butter.
Pepper, sweetcorn & chicken in charcoal buns.
Goat's cheese, fig & walnut on Guinness brown bread.
Fish cakes & like creme fraiche.
Pear & earl grey sorbet.
Upside down Baileys & coffee cheesecake.
BlackBerry crumble.
Hazelnut panna cotta.
And some chocolate dipped gold dusted strawberries as a bonus for our anniversary!
I. G.Fabulous . Really enjoyed the experience of this menu. Cant wait to book again.
D. R.We had an amazing dinner (take-out due to Covid) for our 10th wedding anniversary. The food was comparable to Michelin star quality. The desserts were top notch. I cannot wait to have a sit in meal here.
C. F.Absolutely gorgeous lunch here, I had been eyeing them up since just before lockdown so scooted in the first chance I got. The food was out of this world and it was so reasonably priced. There were plenty of veggie options for me and meat options for my partner, and the desserts were stunning. Words can’t convey the deliciousness and the outstanding presentation of the dishes and the atmosphere was so wonderful. Damira was so welcoming and polite and we literally cannot wait to get back here (but it gets booked so quickly we just have to plan on advance!)
m. b.If I could give more stars I would. I just went in for a quick bite and got the breakfast, what looks like a very untraditional menu is designed by foodies for foodies. The breakfast had duck egg and was not only super tasty but the presentation was awesome, even the cutlery which is presented in a wooden box, wow. A new place in Waterford but is definitely now gonna be my go to place for breakfast, can't wait to come back to try the lunch menu.
M. B.This is a small, beautifully decorated restaurant with sublime food presented to perfection. The owners are both chefs and their attention to detail and flavours shows their passion for food. I'm not normally one to go for desserts but I couldn't resist ... divine. Best of luck to them on their new venture, hope this gets the business it deserves.
P. M.Out of this world - best afternoon tea selection ever. Got a present of take away afternoon tea from The Old Couch Cafe, Waterford. Menu and pictures attached but they don't do justice to the taste of the goodies.
If you want to spoil someone get them the take away afternoon tea and you will have a friend for life.
a. c.Really delicious food - you can see and taste the effort that has been put into all of the dishes. Would recommend to anyone, top quality stuff at very reasonable prices !
Desserts are amazing too. Can’t wait to return!
W. M.Lovely cafe with excellent coffee. The desserts are little pieces of art, and worth a try.
F. M.This is a real gem. Lovely Mediterranean cuisine. The chives butter with the Guinness brown bread is to die for. Quite reasonable. Bring your own alcohol /wine. Lovely couple running this place.
S. D.Such a fantastic experience eating in this small, cosy and creative café. I had Afternoon Tea here recently, and it was incredible! I can't wait to go back again soon. A great addition to Waterford.
