Absolutely! There’s no better way to experience the beautiful city of Waterford and its culture than a food tour with a local guide.

What is the most famous food in Waterford?

With so many tempting flavors in Waterford, it can be tough to pick a favorite. Locals and visitors alike love the city’s fresh seafood, including locally caught fish and shellfish, as well as classic Irish dishes like rich stews and freshly baked soda bread. Waterford is also known for its artisan cheeses, farm-fresh ingredients, and charming bakeries offering traditional sweets.

Are tourists welcome in Waterford?

Yes, absolutely. There’s an Waterford tradition, the passeggiata—the gentle evening stroll to see and be seen. It’s about enjoying the city’s beauty at a relaxed pace, and it’s a feeling we believe every visitor should experience in Waterford.

You’ll find the spirit of the passeggiata from locals when you connect with the city respectfully. It’s found when you support the family-run trattorias in Trastevere, help keep the ancient fountains pristine, and learn to navigate the beautiful, organised chaos of daily life. This is the authentic Waterford experience.

It’s this connection we create on our Eating Europe tours. We step away from the crowds and take you to the places locals truly love, introducing you to the people behind the food and the stories that make this city one of a kind.
