Campagne in Kilkenny

We had a delicious Sunday lunch with excellent wine and friendly and attentive service.

Food was fine...but for that price I expected more. Not exactly mind blowing flavour coming from any of the dishes. In addition, the waitress at the end asked me if I wanted to give a tip and stared at me as she held out the card machine...I'm sorry but that instantly makes me not want to tip you.

My favourite restaurant in Ireland without exception. I honestly haven’t a single criticism from the multiple times we have tried the lunch and dinner menus. Great value for lunch and exceptional consistently tasty food. Ox cheek, Venison, leek ravioli, pheasant - all incredible.

Delicious food and excellent service. We really enjoyed our visit.

Cannot say I’m a foodie. ….. but I do enjoy food . 5 of us , went early birding . Haddock was just ….. sublime . …. This could ramble on . It was such a fantastic experience. Flavoursome. Friendly . Campagne is just wonderful - and often forgotten- humble !

Food was great, not super inventive but very good. Service however, was lacking. For such a highly acclaimed (and expensive) restaurant, we didn’t feel like the staff went above and beyond or were welcoming/friendly at all.

Superb family lunch in Campagne. Great food and service and great value for the quality of everything we had. Very easy train trip from Dublin also

Un grupo de cuatro de nosotros cenamos en el famoso restaurante Campagne de Garret Byrne la tarde del viernes 19 de junio y fue una cena memorable. Para empezar, dos de nosotros pedimos una terrina caliente de eglefino servida con un huevo frito encima, rodeada de una salsa de mantequilla y cebollino, seguida de una paletilla de cordero cocinada a fuego lento, judías borlotti, espinacas y ajo confitado (el cordero estaba tierno y se derretía en la boca) y terminamos con la tarta de limón más ácida y sabrosa que he probado en mucho tiempo. Los otros dos eligieron un entrante de mousse de ricotta y parmesano con verduras de primavera, salsa de espárragos y crujiente de parmesano, seguido de un plato principal de merluza asada con chutney de calabacín, alcachofas y una divina salsa vierge y terminando con una ópera de frambuesa y pistacho con helado de chocolate blanco. Elegimos dos botellas del excelente Sauvignon Blanc de la casa, y dada la calidad del vino, el precio fue muy competitivo: 40 euros por botella. La comida que produce este restaurante es simplemente de primera clase y lo recomiendo muchísimo. El restaurante está situado en Kilkenny, pero si eres un gourmet exigente, estás de visita en Irlanda o simplemente vives en Dublín, no dejes que eso te detenga, porque realmente vale la pena el viaje.

3.5/5 Stars While the meal was certainly pleasant, it fell short of the exceptional experience one might expect from a Michelin-starred establishment. At this level, I anticipate a notable attention to detail, a flair for creativity, and a consistent elevation in quality. Though the dishes were tasty, none stood out as truly remarkable. The scallop ravioli, however, was a standout: impeccably cooked, perfectly seasoned, and a testament to culinary precision. Unfortunately, the overall experience did not exude the elevated standard associated with Michelin recognition. The cheese course, in particular, was a point of disappointment—lacking the sophistication one might hope for in such a setting. As for the ambiance, the decor was adequate but unremarkable—nothing that would leave a lasting impression or elevate the dining experience beyond the ordinary. The service, unfortunately, did not align with the expectations one might have for a Michelin-starred venue. The staff, though friendly, lacked the polish and refinement that typically accompanies such an esteemed rating. Issues ranged from simple lapses, such as not remembering which dish belonged to which guest, to more noticeable oversights like failing to present the dessert wine menu before the cheese course, or even neglecting to refill water glasses. Additionally, dirty plates were left on the table for an extended period. In summary, while the meal was enjoyable, the overall experience did not reflect the caliber typically associated with a Michelin star. There is potential here, but a more focused commitment to detail, both in the kitchen and front of house, is needed to truly distinguish this restaurant.

Excellent quality of food —- service and staff complement the experience
