hi flipsat

there is a great indian restaurant called "cafe goa" http://www.cafegoa.ie/, its on the quay in waterford city, just near ulster bank.. Very nice quality food and spicy aswell. A lot of irish go there and the owner makes u feel very welcome indeed.

Tuk Tuk Thai is a chinese restaurant located in canada street near the tower hotel... now I have not been there myself but I have been told it is very good aswell..

thats all I can think of

If you want italian, you're all going to the wrong place - Harlequins, off patrick street is your only man. Coming from someone who's travelled the continent a fair bit, this is proper good food!

Fajitas! · 18-12-2007 03:25PM

Oh, Tuk Tuk Thai is Thai, not chinese

I thought cafe goa was down beside Dooley's Hotel. There is a nice indian up on High street don't know what they're calling themselves at the moment.

Slightly OT is the Wine Vault closed down it never seems to be open

There's about 10 of us heading to Cafe Goa around Christmas. Will give a little write up when we do.

There's a Mediterranean restaurant on the quay. I think it's beside cafe goa. Have no idea if it's good.

I hadn't even noticed cafe goa. Hubby and I were only commenting while watching Gordon Ramsay sorting out an Indian restaurant in the UK the other night that we'd love a proper curry so now we know where to go.

EastEnders on the quay is another Indian restaurant (they also do takeaways and deliver). Can't remember the name of the one on High Street (behind the old An Post sorting office), but they also do takeaways/deliveries.

This restaurant has absolutely gorgeous food. I went there last week out of curiosity. It has been refurbished. Everything about it was lovely. The place itself is modern and fresh. The Indian music in the background was so relaxing. The staff are friendly and very efficient. I had Chicken Passanda which was fab. It also does european food which was handy for my friend that will only eat steak. I am going back there on July 25th with a few friends. They open for lunch which I still have to check out. They have a website called: www.eastendersrestaurant.net.:):):):):):):D

Agreed...

They also have a sister place called La Taverna, which is down near River Island. It's also superb, and they do real Italian food the way you'd get it in Italy.

Great lads for a chat too, when they're not too busy. Just ask them about how the food is prepared, that kind of thing, and they'll enthusiastically tell you all about it.

dont bother going to emilianos,rubbish
also tuk tuk thai,its not called that anymore,its something else ,but if its the same place with different name, don t bother going,portions are tiny for what youd be paying for them.

trishw78 · 03-07-2009 03:39PM

Tuk Tuk Thai is now called Pad Thai there's a new place called Pa Pa Thai or something down there. Haven't had the time to check it out.

deisemum · 03-07-2009 03:54PM

Used to like Tuk Tuk but don't like Sabai, think it's the same crowd.

Never again.

same building,same decor,say its the same crowd,just changed the name to pa pa thai.

La Taverna is the only place to bother with for Italian food (well, the same crowd as Harlequin). Great atmosphere and super friendly service. Not to mention, the dishes are well priced and absolutely delicious.

deisemum got it right Sabai don't know where i got Pad thai outta

flan59 · 05-07-2009 06:27PM

I never liked Tuk Tuk and gave all that type of food a miss for a number of years, until I tried, on recommendation, Sabai recently and found it to be very good food, would deffo go back but first and foremost for non european food has to be GOA. Italian would be La Palma or Emilianos, Chinese, I gave it all up. Good to see some competition with all of them now.

vixenbees · 05-07-2009 07:37PM

Sabai is goooooooorgeous!! If you like thai and vietnamese food, you really wont be disappointed. We go there for all family occasions because the service and standard is always top notch. Went there for an early bird 2 weeks ago on a friday evenin, €25 for 3 courses and you've plenty of choice..you know the way some early bird menus are really basic? this has some of their best stuff in there. i think theres a website to check out.
