Dining at Waterford Castle provides an opportunity to sample the best of tradition and contemporary cuisine.

The Munster Dining Room, with its original oak panelled walls and ornate ceilings, creates a wonderful ambiance to complement the memorable dining experience. Seasonal menus offer ingredients like venison, game, beef, seafood, sourced in the region and combined with the talent of the castle's chefs to create an intensity of flavours. The resident pianist, playing most evenings, lends himself to the intimate atmosphere in the Munster Dining Room. Jacket and or shirt and tie are preferred.

The Leinster Room accommodates up to 22 guests for private dining for a wedding reception, business or family occasion.  Menus will be individually tailored to the occasion, ensuring an enjoyable experience for you and your guests.

The Fitzgerald Room, better known as the "lounge", serves a wide range of beverges and is cosy and intimate.  A light menu including Smoked Irish Salmon, Warm Chicken Salad and Irish Stew is available until 9.00 pm.  In the evening enjoy an aperitif while choosing from the dinner menu or simply relax with a game of chess or some light reading in front of the log fire.

The vast Front Hall of Portland stone and oak panelling is the oldest part of the castle. The tapestries date back to the 17th century and the large open fire is so warm and welcoming. Afternoon Tea offering a selection of sandwiches, dainty pastries and scones is served from 12 noon to 5pm.

The restaurant's seasonal menus place emphasis on both Irish specialities as well as the finest international cuisine. Also an enjoyable feature of the restaurant is the castle's resident pianist who plays nightly (peak season) during dinner.
