Food, The Waterford Way
Taste the food, meet the people, hear the stories. There’s so many food and drink experiences
happening every day in Waterford. Whether visiting an artisan producer, a celebrity chef
or sitting on a quirky cafe bench, each plate of Waterford food made the Waterford way is
locally sourced and lovingly prepared for you.
It’s the special places in which we make our food our way, from the mountains, the rivers,
the fertile soils and the sea. And of course the people, who have been working with these
ingredients for generations, or inspired to create food in this place.
On Friday, it’s the Cultural Quarter Demos, with new flavours and samples. Waterford has
always been a city of firsts for foods, open to new tastes and experiences including the first
place in Ireland to roast coffee. Drop into the Waterford Way Tent, where there’ll be a wide
range of demos on offer, from some of Waterford’s diverse community. Home-cooking from
around the world!
On Saturday and Sunday come along and meet the makers and producers who make Food,
the Waterford Way. There will be tastings and demos all day, and a chance to have some fun
along the way. Just some of the Waterford Way producers taking part include Nutrilicious,
the Granville Hotel, Coffee House Lane and Dungarvan Brewing Co., and there’ll be many
more. Do take this opportunity to talk to the producers, ask questions, see how it’s made, and
discover new taste experiences.
