WATERFORD - A FOOD LOVERS PARADISE

Dungarvan Farmers Market, Dungarvan: This local farmers market held every Thursday is an absolute must for food lovers. Don’t leave without tasting Knockalara cheese. Driving time: 15 minutes.

The English Market, Cork City: This covered market in Cork City – here since 1788, and recently visited by Queen Elizabeth II – is open 8am to 6pm daily. It is often likened to Barcelona’s famous Boqueria market. Driving time: 60 minutes.

Farmgate Restaurant, Midleton: Maróg O’Brien and her daughter Sally preside over this well-loved restaurant focusing on local producers – including fish landed at Ballycotton Pier. All dishes are handled simply, with a minimum of fuss. Driving time: 35 minutes.

Ahernes, Youghal: Famous seafood restaurant in the historic walled seaside resort of Youghal. Family run, this restaurant exudes comfort and warmth. Driving time: 15 minutes.

Merry’s Gastropub, Dungarvan: A good choice for families after reasonably priced, well-cooked pub grub and some excellent local ales. Driving time: 15 minutes.

The Moorings, Dungarvan: Fish and chips or seafood chowder overlooking Dungarvan Bay — it doesn’t get more maritime than that. Driving time: 15 minutes.

L’Atmosphere, Waterford: For when you fancy a change from Irish cuisine, then the French country cooking of this Waterford City restaurant fits the bill. Driving time: 60 minutes.
