The best restaurantsof irish

24/04/2026: One of the best restaurants I've been to.

19/04/2026: Really great meal! Very fresh and the flavorful. Best meal I've had in Ireland so far! The service was fantastic. They were gluten-free friendly and even had gluten-free bread available. Highly recommend!

12/06/2026: Amazing place with very good food and reasonable priced 👌

09/06/2026: Delicious food. It great for food allergies, although there was only a few gluten free options and one gluten free dessert.

16/03/2026: Super friendly, lovely food. Spotless and quick! So handy to collect if your having people over.

18/12/2025: First time here, not sure I would be back even though the food was tasty. I called ahead to order, asking if they take card payments, I was told no and that I could take money out in Centra at the ATM if needed. Order was a little slow but when it came to pay, I handed in the cash, 30 euros. I never heard so much complaining because I didn't have the exact change. Talking under his breath and making a big deal. If you don't take card payments and it's cash only, you should be able to give me back 6 euros without hassle and making me feel bad acting like I handed you a 100euro note.

15/01/2026: The food was good and well presented. While none of the dishes particularly impressed me, everything tasted good overall.

22/11/2025: Well what can we say? Each and every dish was so good! Especially the fish course. Not much of a fish person but Lady Helen converted me! We were full by the veal course but it was so good that we finished it. We did not go for wine pairing but ordered a bottle between the two of us. I meam the wine was lovely. Every time we come to Kilkenny, we come to the Lady Helen. Thank you again and can't wait to be back!

12/04/2026: Great find friendly little neighbourhood cafe. Super friendly helpful girl serving us helpful with suggestions.

06/04/2026: Friendly staff good atmosphere great coffee.

06/06/2026: Nice friendly staff and great pints

21/04/2026: The ribs, onion rings & coleslaw combo went dow a treat today. Highly recommend.

09/06/2026: This hotel is only facilitating weddings and events. If you are couples they don't want to know. We stayed on Friday and Saturday night. We were told because of a wedding Friday night we had to eat at 6:30pm in the bar. Fair enough we facilitated their request. Saturday we went in for lunch and were told we would be waiting at least an hour for lunch because of a 100 person funeral that were in. Needless to say we went into the village and had a lovely lunch and a few drinks. Lovely setting for a hotel but not very accommodating. Maybe just set yourself as an event destination rather than a couples hotel.

08/06/2026: Incredible environment, And amazing view

11/04/2026: I truly cannot say enough incredible things about our stays at the Ashbrook Arms. From the moment you arrive, it feels less like checking into a hotel and more like coming home to a place that wraps you in warmth, charm, and genuine hospitality. Each visit somehow manages to exceed the last; something that feels almost impossible, yet they do it effortlessly. The accommodations are beautifully kept, cozy, and inviting, striking that perfect balance between comfort and elegance. It’s the kind of place you find yourself already missing before you’ve even left. The food is nothing short of exceptional; thoughtfully prepared, delicious, and clearly made with care. And breakfast… absolutely magical. Served in the most quaint sunroom, you’re treated to peaceful views of the lush grounds with the gentle river flowing by. It’s the kind of setting that makes you want to linger just a little longer, soaking in every moment. What truly sets Ashbrook apart, though, is the feeling. You are not just a guest, you are genuinely cared for. They go above and beyond to make you feel so very welcomed, remembered, and appreciated in a way that is rare and so deeply special. Without question, this has become our “home” whenever we visit Durrow, and we wouldn’t dream of staying anywhere else. A truly unforgettable experience every single time.

13/04/2026: Had a Good Plate of Fish and Chips there Today at a well Recommended Local Chip Shop a Great Place to Eat In at, With very Good Service.

20/02/2026: Was up a few weeks ago for a collect, unfortunately there was a mixup on my part and ordered to the wrong friars, but the staff were so incredibly friendly and helpful decided to remake it there after confirming the order with the other takeaway. Have to say absolutely credit to the place having such great staff! Be back just for them!

14/03/2026: Hello. I ordered a double cheeseburger with fries and a Coke Zero. I'm very pleased with the price and the taste of my meal. The customer service was very friendly, helpful, and fast. It's a very atmospheric place between the castle and the cathedral. I highly recommend it to everyone 😉
