**The View Bistro, Waterford Golf Club**
The View Bistro at Waterford Golf Club has been on our radar for quite some time, so we were quite pleased to finally make the journey to try it out.
There is a long, winding driveway up to the clubhouse, which creates a very pleasant arrival experience. Disabled parking is available very close to the entrance, making access particularly easy for anyone with mobility issues.
To the best of my knowledge, I had only ever been to Waterford Golf Club once before, many years ago, for something or other, but I had no real recollection of the place. The clubhouse, in which The View Bistro is located, sits in a prime position on top of the unfortunately named Mount Misery, offering spectacular views across Waterford City and out into the countryside beyond.
In fact, from our table we could see the church spire as far away as Tramore. They definitely got the name right when they called this **The View Bistro**, because it is quite impossible not to be impressed by the scenery.
Actually, I think coming here and **not** sitting at a window seat would be somewhat strange!
The clubhouse and bistro itself were very clean and well presented. It was relatively quiet when we arrived, and staff members were busy cleaning the floor and checking that everything was clean and ready for the next customers.
In fact, I would nearly say the constant cleaning of the floor around our table was bordering on annoying — but to be fair, a dirty floor would have been far more annoying, so I really shouldn't complain about staff maintaining high standards!
A very pleasant member of staff brought us menus and returned shortly afterwards to take our order. The service was prompt, polite and friendly.
I ordered the **Full Irish Breakfast**, which at just **€12.50** represents very good value. It consisted of 2 rashers, 2 sausages, black and white pudding, hash brown, baked beans, fried egg, toast and tea.
That's 11 items for €12.50, which is difficult to argue with!
Speciality coffee is also available for a small additional charge.
The food arrived cooked to perfection and was nicely presented. The baked beans were served in their own little "bathtub", exactly as I like them, and water was also provided on the table.
Overall, it was a very pleasant, well-presented and, most importantly, delicious breakfast for the price.
The breakfast menu consisted of:
**Full Irish Breakfast – €12.50**
2 rashers, 2 sausages, black and white pudding, hash brown, baked beans, fried egg and toast.
**Mini Breakfast – €9.00**
Rasher, sausage, black and white pudding, fried egg and toast.
**Breakfast Blaa – €9.00**
Rasher, sausage and fried egg.
All breakfast items are served with tea or coffee.
The only slight criticism, if there is one, is that there didn't appear to be a healthier breakfast option, such as scrambled eggs, granola, an acai bowl or something similar. Adding at least one such option would certainly be a welcome addition to the menu and would give customers looking for something lighter another choice.
Overall, we're really glad we finally made it here, and we will certainly return.
The service, the food, the price — everything was fantastic. And then, of course, there's **the view**.
This is definitely somewhere worth visiting, and I would particularly recommend it as a place to bring visitors who want to enjoy a fabulous vista across Waterford City.
**A great breakfast, very good value, friendly service and one of the best views around. Definitely well worth a visit!**
