The Grapevine in Kilkenny

24/06/2025: Wow & wow, my new favourite place to eat in Kilkenny ! Cafe style tables, delicious food, friendly server ! I had Piri Piri chicken with salad, few fries - delicious. Friend had Portuguese style prawns & salad - super yummy ! When I return, I will have the prawns ! I was hungry ... forgot to take a photo !

21/06/2025: Food is well-prepped and full of unique flavors. Setting is very very spare, but pleasant. Clams and grilled sardines (special) for starters both straightforward, well-prepped and tasty. Mains were picanha, and two specials—pork stew and grilled lamb chops. Picanha and pork stew were uniquely flavored and tasty. Pork stew was full of different ingredients (including salty and sour flavor bombs) and textures (crisp pickled vegs, olives, crisp fried potatoes). Lamb chops were well-seasoned and tasty, though slightly over-cooked. Sides of black beans and veggie rice were nice accompaniments. Dessert, a variation of tiramisu was flavorful and not over the top sweet. Very good. Service was attentive and friendly. Portions were generous and prices were extremely reasonable. The food is unique for this part of the world. If I lived in Kilkenny algarve grill wld be a regular stop.
