The Granary Cafe

About

The Granary Café, perched on the scenic quay side of Waterford City in a historic 1870 granary, invites diners to experience a relaxed, family‑friendly atmosphere brimming with freshly‑made, locally sourced dishes. Since opening in 2006, the café has grown into a staple of the city’s culinary scene, earning seven McKenna Guide awards for its commitment to quality and flavour. The menu showcases a wide array of breakfast, lunch and dinner options, ranging from hearty Irish porridge and paninis to creative quiches, pies, and a selection of vibrant salads and smoothies. Vegan and gluten‑free options are readily available, while the kitchen’s secret – never using flour to thicken stews and curries – ensures flavorful, lighter dishes. Outdoor seating provides a perfect spot to soak up the sunny weather, while the cosy interior offers a warm, welcoming setting for business lunches or family dinners. Besides serving its daily menu, The Granary caters to private events and corporate functions, offering full-service catering from its own kitchen. With free Wi‑Fi and high‑chair availability, the café is an ideal locale for both casual and formal occasions. Beat the crowds by visiting on weekdays, and you’ll enjoy a pleasant dining experience.
