Petronella in Kilkenny

Amazingly ran restaurant we've realised. For few years it was out of our radar. After recommendations lately, by the member of the staff, we came back. We were amazed at the exceptional service during our family visit back then. Tino made us a huge impression on the welcoming and keeping the the food and vibe flowing. Food was excellent, well balanced and superb prepped meat. Deserts came as a bombshell, can't escape from eating them! Second time dining tonight after 2 months, very impressed. Keeping the standard is the key! Well done to you team Petronella!

We really enjoyed our meal, great service-thank you Daniel. Lovely atmosphere, conducive to conversation… We’ll be back!

Had an incredible meal with my fiancee. Lovely building, atmosphere great for a Wednesday night but not too loud. Turkey and ham dish one of the best I have ever had. Staff very pleasant while not being too invasive. Side order of chips beautifully crispy and fluffy as good as you’d get anywhere. Could not recommend it enough

Great setting. Food was delicious, had the table for as long as we needed it. Will be back.

After 12 years of residence in Kilkenny I've had the pleasure to go this wonderful restaurant in the heart of the city. There's a comedy show that evening and I was lucky to get a ticket, as it quickly sold out. The food was absolutely gorgeous, and the show put up by comedian actresses Anna Clifford was top notch. I was sat at the same table with her and her friend Amy, the evening couldn't get any better. I loved every minute of it. The decor is one of the most historic in Kilkenny. I strongly recommend that anyone passing through Kilkenny goes there, it's worth it, from good food to eye catching architecture.

Food was lovely a bit pricey but the kids meal was outrageously priced and poor value nearly €10 for 5 chips and a handful of frozen fish fingers definitely not fresh. Place is no longer a vegan/vege reasonably priced haven since the take over. Staff were excellent! Adult meals very tasty but pricey, kids meals not worth ordering.

Great food, quiet and relaxing atmosphere and friendly service. Appreciate a small and simple menu

Dropped in on spec on a saturday night and were lucky to obtain a table for two. Excellent restaurant in the heart of Kilkenny. Great service, superb food, beautiful atmosphere, all in all a beautiful experience, no complaints at all. will be back.

This place has it all! Great service and excellent food in an incredible setting. Both our servers were perfect. The meals delicious, and as mentioned, you can't find a cooler restaurant interior! We have been all over Europe and eaten in some really unique places. The building housing Petronella is absolutely amazing - historic, picturesque, and intimate. It's down a small alley, so easily missed by most. Make a reservation in advance.

We had a group meal the day before our wedding in Mountain View in Kilkenny and this restaurant was the perfect spot to kick things off. The food was delicious and compliments to Gerry the chef. Hidden gem down one of the old lanes in Kilkenny city centre.
