Bodega Waterford  Bodega Waterford

 

In the heart of Waterford City, Bodega a restaurant that champions the local food experience. From the beginning, they have strived to offer the best of local produce where possible, to give value for money, to provide great food and drinks, and to create an atmosphere where customers can relax and have fun.

Waterford is a hotbed for fresh, world class quality local produce from farmer to fisherman. The finest seafood & shellfish from Dunmore East, Kilmore Quay and Castletownbere, to the most succulent of local beef or organic pork from The Comeragh Mountains, free range chicken from Wexford, and the famous ‘Blaa’ from an artisan baker only 500 metres away!

With a local man Jamie Dowling in the kitchen cooking up a storm, and restaurant manager Aneta, in charge of front of house, Bodega creates a dining experience to remember.

Adored by regulars and acknowledged by critics as fun and unusal restaurant. With early bird menus from €19.95, this is an affordable treat in a relaxed atmosphere.

With an extensive drinks menu including fine wines, sparkling champagnes, sinful cocktails, premium spirits and Irish craft beers, whatever your tipple is Bodega has you covered.
