Momo Restaurant

Momo Restaurant at 47 Patrick Street is a culinary gem in Waterford, operated by the dynamic duo Kamila Bystrzonowska and her husband Harry O’Neill. With a passion for fresh, locally-sourced ingredients and sustainable practices, this pair has crafted an eating experience that marries global flavors with Irish authenticity. Their approach emphasizes ‘slow food’ principles, which means everything is prepared with care, from scratch, and with an eye towards environmental consciousness. This ethos has garnered them several accolades, including the ‘Best Restaurant in Munster’ award in 2018.

The restaurant is celebrated for its eclectic menu, featuring standout dishes like the Moroccan Lamb Tagine and the Vegetarian Buddha Bowl, which highlight their dedication to catering to diverse palates. The interior ambiance is equally inviting, blending rustic charm with modern elegance, featuring handmade furniture and local artwork that create a cozy yet sophisticated setting.

From start to finish, our evening at Momo Restaurant in Waterford was exceptional. The service was fantastic—warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. We began with the veggie sampler, which set the tone with vibrant, fresh flavors. For my main course, I had the John Dory fish, and I can honestly say it was out of this world—perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. After such a stellar meal, I couldn’t resist dessert, and I’m glad I didn’t. It was the perfect ending to an already incredible experience. To top it all off, Camilla took the time after dinner to chat with us and offer some great local pub recommendations. That personal touch really made the night memorable. Highly recommend Momo for anyone looking for amazing food, outstanding service, and a genuinely warm atmosphere.

I visited here during a midweek trip to the Viking city and stumbled across Momo Restaurant. The lady at reception kindly offered me a table which I was not expecting as the restaurant was very busy. The menu is varied and there's something for everyone and ultimately I ordered the pan fried hake with mussels, green veg (broccoli and asparagus) served with a side dish of roast potato. The hake was cooked to perfection and there was a generous portion size of 2 fillets. The veg and accompanying sauce were also delicious. The potatoes deserve a place on the menu by themselves. The best roast potatoes I've ever eaten. Deliciously flavoured, crispy edges and floury inside. I ate an entire bowl of them and would honestly bo back for them alone. Occasionally I come across places like Momo who have such a love for food that it shows on every dish. Couldn't be better.

The food was very tasty and full of flavour. The presentation was lovely. There were many choices on the menu, and everyone found something they liked. The staff were friendly and polite. They looked after us very well and helped make the night even better. It was a great experience, and I would recommend Momo to anyone looking for a good restaurant in Waterford.

Stunning meal, service and restaurant. Camilla and staff couldn't have made our experience any better. The food was exceptional. There were six of us and not a single one of us had to use seasoning on any dish. Just perfection.
