The best restaurants

30/08/2025: Darren and team were great! In from Nashville, TN and had the best stay and breakfast was delish (smoked trout) . Must stay in kilkenny!

27/08/2025: Myself and my partner had dinner in Statham’s by Pembroke on Saturday night and to say the food was out of this world is an understatement, each course was prepared and served to perfection. The staff were so helpful and friendly, the atmosphere was amazing. This is a top class venue with the most delicious food i have ever eaten can't wait to come back again.

24/02/2024: Delicious salmon at the bar listening and participating in an abundance of crack. The Ireland my soul calls for…

02/01/2024: HKC offers a delightful fast food experience with a fantastic twist on the usual offerings. Their chicken, available in both spicy and non-spicy options, caters perfectly to different taste preferences. What really sets them apart are their fries - the unique blend of spices used elevates them from ordinary to extraordinary, making them a must-try. Ideal for those who enjoy a flavorful fast food meal with a deliciously spicy kick.

22/12/2023: Worst experience ever! The guy couldn't even take order properly, gave so many excuses! Disgraceful!

07/12/2024: El mejor pub de Dublín, con la mejor pinta de Guinness y un personal fantástico. Puede que sea un poco parcial, pero definitivamente vale la pena una visita.

18/08/2025: Very pleasant welcome in this family-run pastry shop and tea room. Excellent breakfast, the scones are delicious (plain, raisin, or rhubarb). The coffee tasted not great, but everything else was good.

01/08/2025: Great for lunch. The service, the welcome, the food, and the prices are all top-notch.

21/12/2024: Really disappointing experience. Table in the corner was breezy. Group beside us were loud and just drinking, vaping in the snug and shouting about where they would buy a bag that night. Male staff were very friendly. One female server gave a glass of Prosecco to the table overflowing and spilling down the side. Then slammed two of the main courses onto the table. Never asked did we need sauce salt vinegar for chips and fish. Food itself was nice but desserts were way overpriced €9.50 for a tiny cheesecake, not worth it. Service doesn’t match the food and price doesn’t match service. Won’t be back

28/11/2024: Excellent food and service..but very few people there..beautiful decor..very clean but needs to b a bit busier for atmosphere

25/09/2025: Delicious wagon wheel pizza. The twisty fries and cheese balls are really good. Always great customer service and friendly staff.

25/09/2025: Absolutely amazing pizza,great taste the base is amazing and not greasy at all.Great value for money in this economy

05/10/2025: I got a cappuccino there yesterday. Milk was burnt and the coffee was terrible. Lovely building and nice service but coffee was undrinkable

01/10/2025: On entering the cafe/shop, I was abruptly told I would not be permitted a coffee in the lounge on the basis that I had a buggy (travel buggy - suitable as cabin luggage) and in the event of an fire I would block the exit. There were no other patrons in the lounge area at the time. I wasn't given the opportunity to take my baby out or fold the buggy and was asked to leave. Those with accessibility needs are obviously not welcome here.

25/11/2025: The menu was very limited and the restaurant area was very cold (I had to keep my coat on all the time). I will definitely not be recommending this place to others - steer clear!

30/08/2025: The food was absolutely delicious. Great view from the restaurant and very kind staff.

18/07/2025: The food and milkshakes are sooo delicious and the staff are so kind and seat you right away. The decorations and the inside is so vintage I love the food and this place. Definitely coming back!
