Low Lane in Kilkenny

06/07/2025: 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

19/06/2025: 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.
