For those seeking dairy and gluten-free options, Momo truly excels. The Catalan Style Monkfish, Prawns & Mussels is an absolute standout. Perfectly cooked seafood in a flavorful sauce, it’s a dish that showcases how gluten and dairy-free options can still be rich in flavour. For dessert, the Lemon & Elderflower Vegan Cheesecake is a dream—light, zesty, and perfect balance of sweetness with a fragrant elderflower note. It's hard to believe it's both dairy-free and vegan!

If you’re not on any dietary restrictions, the Pulled Pork Bao Bun is a must-try starter. The soft bun and tender pork make for a sensational bite or the Scallops, Prawns & Mussels are fresh, delicate, and full of the sea’s natural flavors, while the Slow Cooked Beef Rib is a triumph of rich, melt-in-your-mouth goodness—paired with a rich sauce that makes every bite deeply satisfying.

For dessert lovers, the Passionfruit Tart is pure perfection. Tangy and refreshing, it provides a delightful contrast to the richness of the main courses and leaves you wanting more.

Momo’s atmosphere is equally impressive—a cosy yet modern space with an inviting energy. Whether you're stopping by for a casual meal or celebrating a special occasion, Momo offers the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable evening.

A delightful surprise, one of the best dinners we have ever had in Ireland.

Everything in Momo has been perfect for us.

The atmosphere was lovely and warm, with dim lights. The restaurant was full of people but everyone kept quiet and respectful while remaining cheerful.

Every table had a beautiful bouquet of gorgeous fresh daffodils.

The menu of specials is handwritten on a large blackboard that you bring to your own table.

Nice idea to offer a selection of refreshing cocktails based on Prosecco and some cordial.

The bisque was superb and the seafood in it very tasty. When we asked for some bread to mop the sauce the waitress (who I think was the owner) immediately understood that we didn't want toasted bread but soft one so she asked the kitchen to just heat it the right amount.

The risotto was a real surprise. Incredibly tasty, it would have been appropriate in some of the best restaurants in Italy where risotto is a local pride.

The dessert also very tasty and rich.

All the staff very gentle and attentive, ready to exchange jokes and politely having fun with us.

When we left, a recommendation on where to have delicious pastries.

I wasn't planning to go to Waterford at all but I am pretty glad I did. Because of this I was able to discover this hidden gem on the Irish soil.

First of all, let's talk about the vibe of this restaurant. When I passed the doors, I felt right away that the place was right. You know this kind of feeling when you know you are going to eat well!

The staff was very welcoming and they did help me to choose my main course which was one of the special : BBQ Hash Salad with cauliflower tempura (or something like that). This dish was a real blast. The flavours, oh the flavours, they were there that's for sure! It's been a while since I last enjoyed a salad the way I did today. However the plate is waaaaay too big if you want to have a dessert afterwards (at least for myself). So if you are not a big eater, you might want to say it to the waitresses. Same thing with the dessert which was quite huge (I had the panna cotta) but quite good too.

Pretty happy to have found this place! I would recommend, it's not really expensive so...
