The best restaurants

15/03/2025: An exceptional pint with great service from Dominic!

14/03/2025: Extremely friendly, great pints, lovely atmosphere!

31/03/2025: Great Staff , Great Venue , easily one of The Best Pubs in The Country

27/03/2025: A good place to hang out and taste beers, they do food but I can't comment, we didn't eat there, nice atmosphere

22/04/2025: Food was grand, what you would expect. What got us was the rudeness of the staff. It was was very clear we were seen as an inconvenience by being there.

22/04/2025: Back from blighty and needed a good pint of Guinness - where else?

11/04/2025: I absolutely love the good in there. It would be my every weekend "treats". The boss and stuffs are super friendly . Highly recommend them.

09/04/2025: Incredible meals 10/10 and great service Juan is incredible, the best attention!! Very kind and friendly, I highly recommend the place

29/03/2025: Fantastic views as you walk around the extensive grounds. There is a dog off leash area, a big playground and a nice coffee shop in the main house. The carpark is a good stroll from the cafe so they have a small carpark near the house for older less mobile people. You can walk short circuits as well as longer more hilly ones.

28/03/2025: Great place for a small trek with family. One of the boggest playground for kids.

29/03/2025: De vuelta a Antica Venezia para otra comida encantadora, en lo que se ha convertido en uno de nuestros restaurantes favoritos. El personal aquí es tan agradable - un saludo muy cálido en la puerta, seguido de un servicio por personal amable y servicial. ¡Y luego la comida! Después de un fin de semana en Roma hace unos años, somos bastante particulares sobre la comida que nos sirven en los restaurantes italianos irlandeses. Antica Venezia es muy bueno, y esto se evidencia por el pleno de la casa el viernes por la noche - apenas un asiento disponible. Disfrutamos mucho de nuestra noche - el personal - la comida y el vino - toda la experiencia. Muy bien hecho y muy recomendable.

23/03/2025: Can't say enough about this place. Family run. They go out of their way to welcome you and ensure your dining experience is top notch. Food is of excellent quality and v tasty. Wine delicious too. As friends we frequent this restaurant a few times a year. It won't disappoint. Elizabeth

26/03/2025: The pasta is delicious, and the banoffe is the best

02/03/2025: Lovely lunch. Arrived quickly. Great service.

13/04/2025: Passed by this morning for the first time, the team is so friendly and coffee was 10/10!

12/01/2025: Lovely little takeaway coffee place. I ordered a flat white on almond milk (yay!) and a regular cappuccino for my boyfriend with a mars cookie on the side. It was absolutely beautiful! I loved their flat white and am very delighted that I’m finding more and more spots in Ireland that serve great coffee. My boyfriends cappuccino was a tiny bit too frothy and without the chocolate powder that he’s used to from Australia. It was still 5/5! The mars cookie was very heavy but delicious :)

18/02/2025: Delicious coffee and lovely staff

02/02/2025: The products are good for the price and taste good. However, I didn't find the service so friendly, we felt a little strange to see that other Acai bowl orders came with a wooden plate that included napkins and spoons and ours barely came with the acai container and the spoon . It was our first time visiting the cafe and we are thinking if it is really worth coming back.

06/04/2025: Delicious food, beautiful atmosphere with beautiful decor, great drinks and cold beer. Friendly and attentive service. I would 100% return

06/04/2025: Just magic. Lovely decor, staff & ambience. Amazing food. Extremely busy - always - we tried our luck on a walk-in for 5, only to be told they were booked out. As we were leaving we were hailed by a waiter who ran out after us - as he had just taken a cancellation kn the phone for a table of 5 - Happy Days 😁 3rd time here - some favourites on the menu but some delicious new offerings as well. Superb sharing dishes - small & large - & the best restaurant chips in Cork. 5 sharing 4 small plates, 3 large plates, with 3 cocktails, 4 beers, 2 wines & a coke came to €197 z so less than €40 each. DELICIOUS! Pork belly in a lentil stew was a revelation. Ladies loved the roasted cauliflower dish. Breaded beef bavette was superb. Chips & dips divine.

31/03/2025: Review: Stayed at the Hotel on 30/03/25 First Impressions: The hotel is in a good location on the main road into Newbridge. Hotel Facilities: The hotel has some very nice seating areas both inside and outside, with a good-sized bar area and a popular restaurant. The communal areas are well-maintained, and the outdoor seating areas make good use of the sunny spots. Gym: The gym closes a bit early for late travelers, which was inconvenient as it would have been nice to use. However, it looked like a good facility. Reception: The welcome at reception was a little cold and efficient. Room: I was allocated room 130, which was a bit of a letdown. The room was tired and in need of some love and attention, with lots of damage in areas around the room and bathroom. The bathroom was dated and could do with an update and tidy-up. The view outside the window was onto a path, which felt a bit unprivate. Bed and Sleep Experience: The bed was comfortable, and the sleep experience was good once the curtains were drawn. Amenities: There were no tea facilities in the room, which was very surprising. Breakfast: I had an early start and went for the first sitting at 7 am. I had a standard Irish fry, but unfortunately, all the products were cold. It took some time for someone to come out, and I had to ask for a pot of coffee as there were no facilities or coffee machines to help yourself. When the coffee came, it was nice, no complaints. The continental selection was good with plenty to choose from.

30/03/2025: It's a lovely place to get food

02/04/2025: Best Baked Cheesecake everrrr 🎉✨️

11/03/2025: The food is delicious. The staff is very friendly, I’ve never had a negative experience with the staff. It’s not too expensive.

07/04/2025: Simply fantastic we tried 3 things, all delicious. Fish and chip, smoked salmon sandwich and fish soup. It's a fish shop with this little place next to it. Few seats. Friendly staff. Absolutely recommended. Prices in line with generous portions.

05/04/2025: It's a place I really like, both for eating and for buying fresh fish.

22/03/2025: Lo siento, pero nunca en mis 64 años me he conocido como camarera de bar grosera y confrontada. En ningún momento nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos, dada la ubicación en Kilkenny que cabría esperar mejor, saludos al músico, buen trabajo.

23/02/2025: Brilliant pub, great music from 4 till close . Brilliant atmosphere. And a big shout out to Charlie the barman, hes an absolute gem, an asset to any business. Hope to be back in kilkenny very soon.

28/02/2025: What a find! Great friendly staff! And good quality food… and bread!

21/02/2025: Busy cafe. It has a great lunch menu. I had the belt on sourdough. Very filling and delicious
