Breathnach's in Kilkenny

06/11/2024: Food was tasty but the big issue was how cold the place was ... Had to keep my coat on as did my other half whilst having our meal ... Shockingly cold.. expensive enough also.

11/08/2024: I ordered the won ton soup to start and my husband ordered the spare ribs. He enjoyed his ribs but my won ton soup was not great. It had like oxo beef stock in it rather than the authentic clear soup and no pak Choi but carrots in it. The won tons were not very big and hardly had any meat in it. €5.30 for it was not worth it. The second course of shredded beef was delicious and a good portion - very expensive though. My husband enjoyed his szchechuan chicken and rice. Usually chow mein has some beansprouts but there was none in the chow mein. The prawn crackers were given as a free snack but were fried in some reused oil and were very thin, so not tasty at all. Overall a mixed experience with the food, some of it was not authentic but the mains were tasty. Location was in a lovely part of Kilkenny city centre. The restaurant itself needed a bit of sprucing up but it was ok. It was very pricy I thought though. 2 courses for €52 for 2 people and we had just water for drinks. The service was very good. Friendly staff.
