Waterford makes a brilliant weekend away, especially if you plan it around the food. Ireland's oldest city has the restaurants, the heritage and the local specialities to fill a couple of very happy days.
Mosey helps you plan the whole thing, from where to eat to where to stay.
Build your eating itinerary
Start by discovering where to eat. Browse Waterford's best-rated places, search by the dishes you want, and save your shortlist to a list you can work through over the weekend.
You can plan the whole trip's eating in advance, so no meal is left to a hungry last-minute scramble.
Book ahead so you are not caught out
Waterford's best tables can fill up, so reserve in advance through Mosey. You can spot which places book out fast and lock in the ones you really want.
And if a place is full, set a cancellation alert or join the waitlist so a freed-up table comes to you.
Consider a foodie hotel break
If you want the food to be the whole point, look at Mosey Food Stays, hotel breaks built around a standout dining experience.
It is a lovely way to anchor a Waterford weekend around a memorable meal, with the stay and the dining sorted together.
Capture and share your trip
As you eat your way around, rate the meals and share casual photo posts of where you have been.
By the end you have a record of your Waterford weekend and a set of recommendations that helps the next food lover planning the same trip.
