A huge well done to all of the team here and a big thank you to Georgina Campbell's Guides for selecting us for the fine dining 'Bijou' Restaurant of the Year. We are over the moon with Georgina Campbell's kind words below. A very nice treat during our break!
"Small restaurants tend to depend more than most on the personality and commitment of the people behind them, and Everett’s has become one of Waterford city’s most distinctive dining rooms through exactly that combination – and an exceptional setting in this historic city's medieval quarter. An 18th century bonded warehouse with the remains of a 15th century tower house provide a unique backdrop for talented chef Peter Everett and his partner, Keith Noonan to create an intimate destination where serious cooking is delivered with warmth, confidence and a refreshing lack of ceremony. Everett’s makes clever use of its compact space, creating an atmosphere that feels special without becoming formal and – true to Peter’s Euro-Toques principles - the menus are rooted in excellent local and Irish ingredients and the seasons, with carefully judged combinations, precise cooking and a natural understanding of flavour. A highlight on a recent visit, for example, was the flavour of tomatoes grown on the outskirts of the city by Grantstown Nurseries, a telling example of small things making a big impact. Local produce and seafood are key to every menu here, reflecting Waterford’s exceptional food culture and its position between rich farmland and the coast, but all of the elements - the welcome, the pacing, the w**e, the comfort of the room as well as the food work together rather than competing for attention. At Everett’s, that is the secret of its appeal. For proving that scale is no barrier to ambition, and for giving Waterford a small restaurant with a very big sense of identity, Everett’s is a most deserving Bijou Restaurant of the Year."
