The Strand Inn

The Strand Seafood Restaurant is an elegant, highly acclaimed independent dining room located within the historic Strand Inn estate on the water's edge in the Lower Village of Dunmore East, County Waterford. Originally founded in 1965 by the Foyle family, this upscale coastal culinary destination has a stellar reputation for delivering the finest regional Irish cuisine. The bright, ocean-inspired dining room features expansive glass frontages, crisp decor, and stunning panoramic views stretching past the mouth of the Waterford estuary to the Hook Head Lighthouse. Showcasing an exceptional "pier-to-plate" ethos, the menu is dictated by the daily landings of local Dunmore East fishing boats, featuring masterfully prepared dishes like pan-fried turbot, baked whole lobster, and classic local seafood chowders. For pet owners seeking a premium dining experience, it provides a highly organised coastal solution.

While dogs are strictly not permitted inside the formal main indoor restaurant dining room, they are fully and warmly welcomed to join you across the venue’s massive, fully sheltered and heated oceanfront terraces.
