The best restaurants in Tramore

The first section of our guide to the best restaurants in Tramore tackles our favourite places to eat in Tramore.

These are pubs and restaurants that we (one of the Irish Road Trip team) have munched away in at some point over the years. Dive on in!

1. One the Waterfront

Nestled along the scenic cliffs of Tramore, One the Waterfront is a newly refurbished gem offering a delightful seaside escape.

The interior boasts a light, airy feel with its high ceilings, large windows, and potted palms, creating a relaxed, beachy vibe.

Start with the garlic and chilli prawns, a perfect blend of spice and freshness, or dive into the mixed antipasti platter featuring cured meats, cheeses, and marinated vegetables.

For mains, the seafood risotto with mussels, calamari, and prawns is a standout, brimming with flavour.

2. The Pier Restaurant

The Pier Café, run by Chef Malcolm Starmer and business manager Sara Walshe, brings a vibrant atmosphere to Tramore’s waterfront.

Inside, fairy lights twinkle overhead while retro wall art and mismatched chairs create a cosy, eclectic vibe.

The brunch menu shines with the Eggs Royale, featuring perfectly poached eggs on smoked salmon with a silky hollandaise, and the breakfast skillet, a hearty mix of sausage, bacon, potatoes, and black pudding.

It’s the perfect spot for a leisurely brunch with a view.

3. Vee Cafe

Right on the main street of Tramore, Vee Cafe is a much-loved restaurant in the seaside town.

Serving breakfast, brunch and lunch from 8am onwards, it’s a lovely little place to stop in for a meal. It’s consistently good value, with friendly staff and always the freshest food.

The menu is full of old favourites and classics including a jumbo cooked breakfast, pancakes, 3 egg omelette, fish and chips and steak and veg.

You’ll find something for everyone at Vee Bistro, including vegetarian and gluten free options. This is one of our favourite places to eat in Tramore for good reason.

Otherwise, you can head to the adjoining Mol’s Restaurant for lunch or dinner seven days a week with the whole family.

Using locally sourced produce, the seasonal menu has something for everyone including fish and chips, Irish beef burger, T-bone steak, and roast of the day. 

If you’re looking for Tramore restaurants to nip into with a big group, you can’t go wrong with an evening at O’Neill’s.

5. Brooklyn Restaurant Tramore

This stylish restaurant is located right on the Promenade overlooking the beach.

You can choose from indoor or outdoor seating, from where you can sit back and enjoy a lovely meal with views of the sea.

The food is very classy, although you’ll find plenty of typical favourites including burgers, pasta, fresh fish and fried chicken.

Their pizzas are what gets most of the rave reviews though, so if you’re after a nice gourmet pizza by the sea, this is the place to go in Tramore.

6. 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.

Whether you opt to dine in the nice restaurant or get take away to have some place else, it’s the perfect option if you’re after something different.

7. Ranch

This polished restaurant is one of the most popular places to eat on Strand Road in Tramore. It’s a very family friendly place with a designated kid’s menu and relaxed dining atmosphere. 

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.
