Tābú in Thomastown

Had a beautiful meal today at Tabu while passing through, a real hidden gem. Food was very flavousome, colorful and well presented. The four us had different options and all were amazing and tasty. Staff were attentive and pleasant. 10 out of 10

It is hard to fault this place and I really enjoyed all the dishes I tried on the night. One of my favourite food destinations the last few years.

We went here with a family group and young children. It's a lovely room, the people serving us were so friendly and nice towards our children too. The chef even brought out small snacks for the children first without us asking. The food is incredibly tasty and we really enjoyed our meal.

Oh man, I hadn’t had a meal like that in a very long time. The monkfish and broccoli were insane, the pisco sour delicious. I highly recommend this place.

The food was so delicious. We had a brisket dish with veggies in a tasty mushroom sauce and a Hake fish with a yummy curry sauce. Highly recommend!

Giving my review after just one visit, so maybe slightly premature, but plan to return soon. Visited with my uncle & cousin for my first time on a Thursday night, and, as a local, I was delighted to see the place was hopping busy!! The Restaurant Manager on the night, Lorraine, was outstanding, & struck such a great balance between being genuinely friendly & providing intuitively-attentive service at appropriate times, rather than being intrusive! Personally we found one male member of staff a little overbearing & disruptive during our obviously personal deep chats, given the night that was in it for us, but it feels unfair to complain about that when it was definately well-intentioned, & maybe just lacked a little awareness! The food was thoroughly enjoyable however; we went tapas style & shared throughout, but personally, in hindsight, I think I would have preferred just our Starters to share, followed by a single Main course each, and then shared deserts...but that's very much a personal preference as a female among two hungry males, and, such is the set-up in Tabú, the choice is very much your own as to how to structure your meal!! Thoroughly enjoyed the night, & very much looking forward to a return to Tabú over the next week or two! We are lucky to have such a great Award-Winning restaurant in Thomastown, and althou always room for another, perhaps with a slightly different emphasis, maybe that's just me being greedy & liking to have a choice!! Thank you Tabú...long may you last in our lovely town ❤️

Very interesting food options, most of which work well. From what we had the highlight was the meatballs, others were OK like the tacos, but a bit too much lettuce used to bulk them out. Had a croissant dessert with a creme and berry filling which was a delight.

My favourite restaurant in Ireland at the moment. Absolutely fantastic space with great staff - it's a nice place to be besides the food, which lives up to its surroundings and then some. Can particularly recommend the lamb, the calamari and (my girlfriend would insist) the strawberry daiquiri. Have been three times this year and will go again.

I love this chef's main dishes. That's what it's worth coming here for. It's worth checking the opening hours. Open kitchen. Nice staff.

Love, love, love this place. We were staying in Inistioge, pre-wedding in Kilkenny, with dear family and friends. Loved this place so much, I returned with different members of our group the second time 🥰
