The best restaurantsof irish in Kildare

28/06/2026: Perfect breakfast right after getting off the plane in Dublin!

07/06/2026: Really lovely breakfast here , very friendly staff . Will definitely come back to try another meal here .

04/06/2026: I can't say enough about our experience at Silken Thomas. The owners are clearly treating their staff well, because it shows in how the staff treat the clients. Everyone from Reception, to the Bar, to the Restaurant (for both dinner and breakfast), to the person who showed us to our room, had a smile on their face and looked happy to be there. We felt well taken care of and everything we ate was delicious. We both loved the location and the recent redo, especially the shower. Special shout out to the lovely room cleaners and management who went the extra-mile to not only reach out to me to let me know I'd left a t-shirt behind on the bed, but also posted it to me in Dublin. My offer to reimburse them for the postage fell on deaf ears. The t-shirt has an illustration of a dearly departed pet on it and means an enormous amount to me, so I'll never forget Silken Thomas's kindness. Aces from top to bottom.

19/05/2026: Amazing room, great staff. Second time staying and will stay again in the future.

12/07/2026: Lovely food, good service and very attentive staff.

11/07/2026: very disappointed with the food 😞 it was bad !

08/07/2026: What a lovely place. Visiting the area staying in Naas. Took the 126 bus that stops in multiple stops as it makes its way toward Dublin Connolly. The pub opened at 12 noon but greeted an 5 til the top of the hour when zipped my head in for a look. Reading reviews prior to my visit, all 5 stars given are on point. This is a destination worth visiting for great food and in house brewed beer. Not much else around that I can see in Kill but nonetheless, this is worth the ride as the bus drops you less than a half block away. There are no seats at the bar. Was hoping for that as I love chatting up the bartender to gain insight into the area and how the gastropub and brewery came about. Lots of seating and found a cozy spot to the side of the bar to set up my laptop and plan to do a little bit of work. They have a guest WiFi network if needed. I had room for just one beer and selected the award winning Helles. On a 28 C day it hit the spot. There are a couple of seasonal beers on and as well as the standard formats. The brewery caught my attention after having a their juicy pale ale Elipssis at a pub in Naas. There is a beautiful patio to sit outside and it’s covered but bright an airy. Problem is smokers inside like to step outside the door to have a smoke. I wish there would be a standard that smokers have to step away 10 meters from anywhere food is served. Allow the breeze to diffuse the second hand smoke. Enjoy your visit to this gem in Kill, County Kildare Ireland.

04/07/2026: First time here. And will 100% be back for more. Excellent service and beautiful food. I highly recommend the potato skin starter to share as a couple. Fantastic. Good sized carpark in the rear. Wpuld have preferred option of large bottle of sparkling water or from the splash instead of small bottles . But that just 1 small gripe

04/07/2026: Super pub, paul, donal and ross are excellent operators, alanana and the floor staff are all amazing and its by far the best pub in celbridge for food and service

02/06/2026: This place was excellent. Great food, great beer, great people. We traveled from the States and this pub was only a short walk from our Vrbo. We visited this pub twice, as our first and last stop in Ireland, since it was so good. There is even a parking lot right behind back with cheap parking. 10/10 would recommend and will be eating/drinking here again when we eventually visit Ireland again.

12/07/2026: Great pub in Kildare town. Called in for some food and it was very good. The staff were very attentive and friendly, they chatted to all the customers making them feel right at home. There is plenty of space in the pub and it had a great atmosphere.

09/07/2026: Had a fabulous meal and experience in The Dining Room. The food was fresh and delicious and the service was excellent t.

26/07/2026: The crispiest fish and chips of my life! Thanks guys!

22/07/2026: We went on our Date night too see what the two courses for €30 special would be like but there was nothing on the options that tickeled our fancy. However we were pleasantly surprised to find a steak on the stone special at €30 per person and we decided to run with that. The steak was absolutely delicious and was served with house chunky chips and mushroom and pepper sauce. It was served on a massive platter plate and was the best steak we have had in a long time. The staff were all really friendly and knew the menu inside out. We had Chicken wings to start whick were massive and a shared chocolate Fondant for dessert. The place was very busy for a Tuesday night and this gives an indication of how lovely overall the atmosphere is. And as Arnie says..Ill be back.

22/07/2026: A very charming family business with excellent quality and friendly service. Definitely recommended in Castledermot – well worth a detour! We came to Castledermot from Duckett Grove to see the Roundtower and the Abbey.

17/07/2026: Food is always amazing here however my favourite is the breakfast burrito. It's amazing

22/07/2026: Top shelf food and service. Every detail is about great taste and quality. Even bread is so delicious. Will come back again and will recommend to everyone

22/07/2026: Had the Surf and Turf for Dinner. Service was good. Wine was a good recommendation for the meal. Shrimp tasted great and perfect temperature. However the steak lacked taste, it was cooked perfectly (medium rare) but a bit cool upon delivery. Mashed potatoes also cool on delivery. This could have been due to how busy they were. I would definitely try again.

20/07/2026: Fab food Fab staff Fab atmosphere

18/07/2026: Chips were so hard and greasy from obviously being cooked in dirty oil. Service was very slow. Servers were very friendly and nice.In spite of asking for dairy free and being assured we could have it,we got gravy all over the dinner!!! Definitely will not be back.

19/07/2026: Food was very good . I had to order at the bar as no staff took table service . Bar staff were very nice .

07/07/2026: Nice big pub, good food and good service

27/06/2026: The Bistro at Lawlors of Naas served us the worst food ever tonight. Asked for Chips without salt they came out pickled. Beef dish was disgusting beef tasted weird, big lump of cabbage and all served in a puddle of bisto. Left our complaint with duty manager who also couldn't care less as he was just trying to get through the night with undertrained, understaffed, servers. Will never return here again

22/06/2026: Fabulous hotel. Beautifully decorated and very clean. Breakfast great choice. Staff really efficient and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

07/06/2026: Well appointed rooms. Friendly staff

04/06/2026: Delightful venue, amazing scones, sterling atmosphere

03/07/2026: Everything was splendid. We really enjoyed.

02/07/2026: Were nice place, whoever rides e-bike along royal canal this is a place to stop. There is a double socket in the front yard that can be used to recharge.

27/07/2026: Very busy petrol station with very helpful staff A+++

19/06/2026: Fresh deli/sandwich/baguettes. Good serving sizes.
