The best restaurants

26/07/2026: Great experience, well looked after by Pa and the team . Highly recommend

19/07/2026: The best "home made feel" food and old school atmosphere. The best day out ever!

14/08/2026: Nice Kilkenny local pub bar with music most nights

27/07/2026: Amazing atmosphere, lovely servers, we were welcomed like locals by everyone. The music was fantastic. Unforgettable memory ✨️

06/09/2026: Massively popular, but no wonder... A marvel of nature. Adults €15, students €12. You pay upon entering the parking lot. You can see it in 2-3 hours. They've marked out a walking path. The views are breathtaking.

06/09/2026: Well worth the visit.Great service and the mobility vehicle was great.Views are awesome

13/09/2026: Punk, metal, and rock & roll bar dive bar. Classic.

13/09/2026: The bartender Judy needs to be fired. He tried to pick a fight with me for no reason started cursing me so I cursed back and grabbed my neck it's still hurting it's the 12th of September 2026 and he grabbed my neck for no reason. Bro was trying to deny me and my friend drinks so I got it from.the bar outside ruined my whole experience of the pub Edit: time was 11:30 pm of the 12th of September. Even the security a bald guy saw it said Judy is usually calm and it was my fault but I did nothing wrong I also let the lady know and she told me she'd check the cameras I can still contest to it. Check the cameras it isn't my fault

13/09/2026: We recently ordered a large quantity of biryani, as we needed 22 boxes so it was exactly as we wanted, and we were really impressed with the overall experience. The biryani was fresh, delicious, and full of flavour. The portion sizes were very generous, and the quantity we received was more than enough for the price, It was also very reasonably priced, which made it excellent value for money. The service and overall experience were great, and we would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for tasty biryani in bulk. We will certainly order again!

11/09/2026: We recently attended an event at Darbar, and the overall experience was fantastic. Food & Flavors: The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and fresh. Every dish served to our group was rich in authentic flavor and cooked to perfection. Service & Hospitality: The staff provided excellent service throughout the occasion. They were attentive, polite, and made sure our table was well taken care of without feeling intrusive. Ambience: The setting and atmosphere were warm and inviting, making it a great venue for gathering with friends and family. Highly recommended whether you are visiting for a quiet meal or hosting a group function!

10/07/2026: Both hotel and restaurant are so underrated. I stayed at 6 different hotels while driving through Ireland and this was my favorite accommodation and meal. Had the pleasure of staying in the Orange room. Room was spacious, modernly decorated, and clean. The smart TV with streaming services available was a nice amenity that not a lot of other hotels offered. The breakfast in the mini fridge and the pastries dropped off at night were such a nice touch and so delicious too. Once we arrived, staff guided us to the private parking lot behind the building, helped us settle into our room and fit us into a last minute table at the restaurant. The food was amazing. We ordered from their specials menu and everything tasted so fresh that we devoured all the dishes. I was certainly sad to be just staying for one night as it was the most comfortable stay I had during my trip.

17/06/2026: Amazing dinner, well worth the price. Loads of gluten free options with knowledgeable and friendly staff

12/09/2026: I have been going to the Curraghower for years. It's a great pub, in a great location. Staff are friendly and professional; however, the food falls short. A less-than-average burger (which seemed to me to be frozen burgers that you could pick up in the frozen section of any supermarket) and chunky chips, many of which were too crispy to eat, no garnish, is not worth €23.

12/09/2026: 5 star quality food at good price range. Excellent service. Well worth a visit.

17/09/2026: Of all the places we've eaten at in Ireland these past few days, I think this is the best. The food was simply delicious. Great service and a very reasonable price. I highly recommend it, and I will definitely be back.

15/09/2026: While I rarely write a review, this place was so nice I'm taking the time. I ordered the prawn salad at the recommendation of our waitress and so glad I did. It was quite unique and delicious. Generous portion! My husband got the wings, which he thoroughly enjoyed. He dug right in before I could get a picture. Staff was very attentive, but not intrusive. Would definitely go back!

31/08/2026: Whenever we’re in the area we come back here as the food never fails and the staff are always friendly and you can tell they love where they work!! It makes all the difference

27/08/2026: I stopped in for a Guinness before visiting Glasnevin Cemetery. A super enjoyable pub where you immediately feel comfortable and welcome. Great music, a friendly bartender, and a lovely garden. What more could you ask for?

13/09/2026: We recently ordered a large quantity of biryani, as we needed 22 boxes so it was exactly as we wanted, and we were really impressed with the overall experience. The biryani was fresh, delicious, and full of flavour. The portion sizes were very generous, and the quantity we received was more than enough for the price, It was also very reasonably priced, which made it excellent value for money. The service and overall experience were great, and we would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for tasty biryani in bulk. We will certainly order again!

11/09/2026: Food could have been better and less oily.

02/09/2026: Excellent coffee and a great scone. We arrived right when they opened, and there wasn't a huge selection of food, but what we did get was good. There's also a small grocery cabinet with carefully selected products.

26/07/2026: This charming little café, which offers takeaway but also has outdoor seating in the sun, is a real hidden gem. Open DAILY from 10 am to 5 pm...

28/07/2026: Didn't eat here, but amazing nostalgia. Talked with Syd, the owner, and couldn't be friendlier. Even stayed in the rooms above for a night. Definitely worth a stop.

15/07/2026: Well worth a visit, keep your footing😉 Only came for drink during our small pub crawl in Kilkenny.

06/09/2026: Very good food and service and atmosphere

05/09/2026: Celebrated the MIL birthday ordered wings for starters' the sauce was over the wings and could clearly see they were microwaved 'still had the wings on the plate when my mains was sent out ' ordered Lasgne and again was microwaved with little or no meat and VERY dry' other's had to send the pasta back as it was hard ' very dissapointed with the food ' however the staff were polite and friendly

13/09/2026: Food was very mediocre . Staff were pleasant. In the hallway leading to the toilets there were towels left on the ground soaking up something. The toilets are very dilapidated and give a dreadful impression. The place needs to be revamped.

26/08/2026: We stopped here 2 weeks ago at random and the food was delicious (we had fish&chips). Also the waitress was adorable and has VERY GOOD music tastes (we hope you've had the chance to find your Noah Kahan's ticket concert !! 🤞🏻👌🏻). Definetly come back here if we'll have the opportunity. Take care !

14/09/2026: The interior is very quaint. The food is very good. Prices are in line with other restaurants.

14/09/2026: One of the best meals I’ve had. I’m on trip here in Dublin and our tour guide suggested this place. So glad we took a chance and came here. I had the Gaelic boxty it was so good!!! The food was delicious! Definitely would come back again
