2. Rack and Soul

Located just off the Promenade across from the beach, Rack and Soul is a small place yet the food and service are unbeatable. It’s very good value, with large portions perfect to share with a bunch of friends.

Their menu caters for warming comfort foods, especially BBQ favourites, with ribs, burgers, fries, chicken wings and nachos. It’s definitely one of the best places to come if you’re feeling hungry and ready for a feast.

3. The Pier Café

Over on Newtown Road at the quieter edge of town, the Pier Café has a great relaxed atmosphere for a post-beach lunch. The cosy café is decorated in retro décor with rustic mix and match chairs adding to the unique interior. 

If you’re after a late brunch, they serve delicious, cooked breakfast options including eggs Florentine and homemade pancakes.

Otherwise, you’ll also find salads and sandwiches for more of a lunch style option. Either way, it’s an underrated brunch spot in Tramore, that is worth the walk out of town.

3. Voujon Café Indian Restaurant

Located right in the centre of town, Voujon Restaurant is where you want to go for delicious Indian food. While some reviews claim it’s some of the best Indian food they’ve ever had, you’ll have to go and try it for yourself.

The menu is pretty extensive with tandoori clay options, a range of Indian breads baked in the tandoor and all your favourite curries.

There’s plenty of options to choose from on the menu, so you’ll be sure to find something you like. They have extensive burger, pizza and pasta variations, with options for a range of different allergens and intolerances if you need.

Their burgers get the best reviews though. Try the St Paddy burger if you’re a meat eater or the Buddha Vegan option. Gluten free bread is also available.
