Ó Riada's in Kilkenny

05/11/2023: The Cutting Vedge is a plant-based deli in a fantastic location right in the centre of Kilkenny city. We were so surprised to find such a gem during our visit. The menu is expansive and has something for everyone. We ordered a wide range of options and we were impressed with them all! We had a 'nut roast wrap' which was very tasty. The nut roast itself was fab and the sauce accompanying it worked perfectly. This came with two salads: pesto potatoes and sesame noodles, both of which were lovely, once again very flavourful. Next we had the stromboli which was crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the middle with a delicious savoury filling. The 'house savoury pastry' was romanesco cauliflower and once again had a wonderful flavour and texture with some crumbly pastry. I also ordered the mushroom soup which was creamy and perfectly seasoned. Perfect for a cold day! The side salad served with the wrap and pastry were crunchy and fresh, an excellent addition to the dishes. The desserts were honestly just as good! We had the 'red velvet brownie' which was rich and moreish, it was paired with home made yoghurt and strawberry sauce which worked brilliantly. We also had the 'rhubarb crumble' which was tart and delicious, it felt like I was eating at my Granny's house once again! If this was not enough, the service was second to none. Helen and her colleague were always making sure everything was to our liking. After tasting half the menu I can safely say this deli is a must visit if you are in Kilkenny. When we visit Kilkenny again we will make sure to be back, thanks so much 😊

As a vegan just being able to step inside and order without having to check if the food is plant based is such a treat , am guessing it must also be a real joy for all the allergy sufferers ou there to be able to relax and enjoy a stress free meal in a cosy environment . The staff is excellent. Kilkenny is very lucky to have such knowledgeable chefs!
