Where to eat Irish food in Dungarvan: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Reviews on Irish food in Dungarvan, Province of Munster, Ireland. Dungarvan (Irish: Dún Garbhán, meaning "Garbhann's Fort") is a coastal town and harbour in County Waterford, on the south coast of Ireland. Prior to the merger of Waterford County Council with Waterford City Council in 2014, Dungarvan was the county town and administrative centre of County Waterford. Waterford City and County Council retains administrative offices in the town. The town's Irish name means "Garbhann's fort", referring to Saint Garbhann who founded a church there in the seventh century. The town lies on the N25 road (European route E30), which connects Cork, Waterford and Rosslare Europort.

We dropped into the Shamrock Restaurant for a sandwich recently and the food, service, ambience and value were all excellent

Traditional family run Irish Pub - renowned far and wide for the best of Irish Music sessions all year round, lead by owner and musician Christy O'Neill and his wife Helen. Music every Saturday and Monday nights and Sundays on a bank holiday.

The Marine bar stands as it stood in the late 1700's. On F,S,S and M, there is traditional music played by the owner, Christy, along with Caroline the Fabulous Accordion Player (and pipe and guitar), and a fabulous Bodrhan player to whom I apologize for not remembering his name. He plays bones as well, and famously. We ran into Christy and Caroline playing at another pub a few days after we first met them and they went out of their way to come over and chat with us. Great craiq. We were in Ireland to celebrate my wife's birthday, and on our last night, Caroline (who remembered why we were there) said she would play a special song for us. We sat there a bit wet-eyed at their top notch rendition of "When You were Sweet Sixteen." A great pint, great people, and lasting memories

Was here today with my family. Lovely friendly staff. Food was amazing. I had seafood pasta. Delicious and was full of pawns and salmon. My partner got fish and chips and that looked amazing. Dad got caesar salad and mam got a panini. Everyone left full and happy. Lovely ambience and nice and clean. Will be back

Very cold November day wet & miserable - Interlude offers the perfect, warming, hearty solution with their soup & sandwich combo. Delicious! Highly recommend this dish. For â¬10.00 you cant go wrong here. The warm baked ham & cheese sandwich is mouth-watering perfection and the tomato & red pepper soup was superb. Definitely worth going out of your way for this winter!

The husband and I were in Dungarvan almost as a last minute trip. We weren't too hungry. I fancied something light. We browsed a few places in The Square but it was the chowder listing on the menu board outside The Local that drew us in. And that's what we ordered. It didn't appear very quickly (not a problem) and the bowls were a little smaller than I'd expected. Proper chowder is thickened with potato and should contain some diced vegetables, but I won't refuse a creamy veg-free chowder like the one we were served. It was very tasty. We enjoyed all the old-fashioned signs on the walls. The staff were cheerful and friendly.

I have visited Kimmy's Kitchen several times over previous months, with many different guests and we have NEVER been disappointed. With such a broad menu - quality and quantity are unbelievably generous. I insist on ordering something different each visit and I am always delighted with the choice. The staff are always friendly and welcoming which adds to the warm atmosphere. Highly recommended.

During our journey stopped after visit in local Information Service, also in this Cafe. Looked at their delicious looking other offers / menu with quite large sortiment. This time we enjoyed only coffee, tea and small eatings with ice cream. Was just a suitable place to stop & enjoy, before decided to continue our Ireland south west journey.

The Tannery Restaurant, Dungarvan, Co Waterford. Modern Irish Cooking. Chef/Owner Paul Flynn.
Reviewed By purplelurple
Disappointing from start to finish. Bread was served as soon as we sat down. The stainless steel dish had dried in food stuck to side of it and there was visible buttery finger prints all over it. I later realised that these bread dishes were not sent to kitchen to be washed instead were kept in dining area where the waiter recycled them for different guests. Not good standards. After ordering a bottle of wine with our meal we sat there for half an hour until we got our starters. We had to ask waiter again for the wine. Usually drinks are served immediately????? Paul Flynn are you really holding your name to this restaurant. The pigeon tart was awful. The meat was over cooked so we couldn't even cut through it. It all went back to kitchen. The flavours didnt really go together. The tart was only barely hot. We both had same starter. Disappointed. Next course for me was cold throughout. The fish looked like it had been sitting under a heater and was definitely not fresh fish. It tasted off. The potatoes to accompany dish were stone cold and lacked any flavour what so ever. Watery. The "few" chips were not hand cut. Seriously.!! Only positive thing is that they were at least hot. I couldnt eat my dish. My husbands steak was good but he asked for medium and got rare. It was under seasoned. Got one dessert it wasn't great hot mousse poured over icecream so i got cold everything and hot icecream. Really. The ladies toilets could do with an overhaul. Filthy grout on floor tiles. I left this restaurant hungry. We never mind paying for nice food but this was robbery for what we got. We both love our food and can cook also. Will never again return here. Paul Flynn would want to pay a visit. Could have cooked better myself. Pity as there are so many nice restaurants to choose from. I dont like writing bad reviews but maybe something can be learned from this.

Am now a regular visitor to this establishment. Staff are friendly, efficient and pleasant to deal with. Food is always very good. Especially love the lemon sole. Childrenâs portions are very good. Seafood chowder was delicious as were the prawns. Good wine list though a tad expensive for organic wines but of a good quality. Highly recommend to one and all but do remember to book in high season and at weekends as itâs a very popular pub and restaurant.
