The best restaurantsof irish in Kildare

31/12/2025: Lovely place with a big menu. Excellent coffee 👌

01/11/2025: Really good coffee and toasted rasher sandwich with friendly staff. 👍

28/02/2026: Visited as a group of 5 for brunch. Food was amazing and the staff were welcoming and friendly. Great value for money too.

26/02/2026: I had read about the Ballymore Inn over the years in various newspaper reviews but never actually got to visit. I went last week with family over from the UK and we wanted a good brunch as we had collected them from a morning flight. The brunch is only a new thing and I hope they keep it. Everyone agreed it was easily the best breakfast they'd ever had. You can taste the quality and care that went into sourcing/baking the food and preparation. Absolutely delicious! I went for Irish breakfast and usually I would avoid it because most places in Ireland do a greasy plate of meat. This was absolutely incredible - no grease, not awful fat - really good quality meat, the most amazing B&W puddings I have ever tasted - an incredible, what tasted like hand made, hash brown, poached egg....plenty of variety and a large portion. Accompanied by amazing treacle brown bread and toasted sourdough. I can't recommend this place enough for brunch/breakfast to be honest. The staff are lovely, it has a very cosy relaxing atmosphere, it's handy to get to from the main roads. Probably a little on the pricey side - but no more so than anywhere else in Ireland at the moment, ...but it is WORLDS apart in terms of good quality - so very much worth it.

28/02/2026: The potato skin starter is amazing! And very filling. Best to share if you are not a big eater. Their fries are amazing too! Convenient free parking on the westside of the restaurant.

11/02/2026: The Guinness is as good to drink as we found in Ireland and was genuinely going to put up a good review but to top it off I left my wallet here and it was returned to today with cash and my cards intact amazingly honest and helpful staff a credit The Dew Drop Inn and the service industry as a whole

19/03/2026: Lovely food and service. Highly recommend

26/02/2026: We absolutely love this place! It’s our new spot we go to every Friday for a well deserved treat. The staff are so lovely & so attentive. Drinks are always incredible. Food is to die for! Really good quality prawns & steak. Considering what we order it’s such a good price point too. We would highly recommend ❤️

07/02/2026: This restaurant is a lovely place to dine for family events or just social occasions. The food is really delicious, and the staff are really welcoming and very helpful. It was a pleasure to dine there.

06/02/2026: The bartenders always go above and beyond. The mix of people you'll find at the bar is incredible. Food is totally acceptable for bar food.

16/03/2026: Really good food here staff are lovely place is warm and inviting clean will be back.

15/03/2026: I would like to warmly thank the entire team at this hotel for the welcome I received during my one-night stay, where I also had the pleasure of enjoying dinner and breakfast. The room I stayed in was beautiful, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. It made me feel right at home. A special thank you to the lovely hostess Beata, whom I met upon arrival: her kindness, smile, and professionalism truly touched me. People like her make you feel instantly welcome. More broadly, everyone I met during these few days in Ireland, and especially in Kildare, was absolutely wonderful. I sincerely recommend that anyone passing through Kildare stay at Thomas Silken Accommodation and stop by without hesitation for a drink, a meal, or a place to sleep. It's also just a few minutes' walk from the outlet mall. A big thank you to you all for these wonderful moments. I wish you all the best and please take good care of yourself. See you soon, I hope.

08/03/2026: Beautiful hotel, staff very helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend.

08/03/2026: Food ok service very slow nearly an hour waiting

18/01/2026: Exceptional visit tonight. Staff were attentive but not intrusive. Portions were huge and food was flavoursome. We will be back.

11/01/2026: I went here for the first time ever for a date night & it was absolutely 💯 from start to finish! The atmosphere was cosy & warm, we had a 3 course and it was amazingly delicious & I haven't been able to finish every meal from a 3 course in a long, long time! Have to compliment especially the sticky toffee pudding, it was to die for 🤤 The staff were extremely friendly & professional, kind & warm. Definitely will be back again to sample more from the menu! 😊 Sadly, I scoffed down the dessert so fast, I forgot to snap a picture 😂

02/03/2026: Surprisingly tiny when you walk in. The food and service are nice but it gets really loud here in the evening, resulting in it being very stuffy and weird-smelling inside.

13/02/2026: This place is a tardis... attended for a family members leaving doo . Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Hope to go back this year

30/01/2026: Disappointing experience. While I was at the nail salon next door getting my nails done, my daughter who is 2,5 years old needed to use the bathroom. The staff at the nail salon told me that they share a restroom with the café and that I could go there. The café was about to close but still had staff inside. I knocked on the door while standing there with my two children, and a staff member looked at me through the window but didn’t open the door or ask if I needed help. It felt very rude and dismissive. I wouldn’t knock on a closed business for no reason—especially with young children. A little basic kindness and communication would have gone a long way.

22/01/2026: delcious and very resaonably priced

21/02/2026: Amazing food, Amazing cocktails and fantastic service.

14/02/2026: I am writing this review in the hope that something will improve. This gastro pub used to be a nice place to eat, but over the past 1.5 years the food quality has declined to an unacceptable level. We first visited two years ago for my birthday and everything was great. I returned a couple of times after that, and it was still good. However, during a later visit we were served overcooked pasta and low-quality food, so we decided not to go back. We recently gave it another chance after 1.5 years, but nothing has improved. The schnitzel and braised beef were dry and overcooked, the tomato sauce was unpleasantly sour, and the onion was undercooked and crunchy. The whole dish lacked basic flavour. I won’t be back.

25/01/2026: Fair fuel prices, deli, coffee from a machine or barista and a bottle return that rarely has queues.

24/01/2026: new speed bumps are ridiculous don’t even stop the racer cars as they can drive around it, i always go over the speed bump in first gear as they wreck ur car, absolutely smacked the bottom of my car going over it the other day

10/12/2025: Great food and really friendly staffs. We really enjoyed our little stop over.

10/12/2025: Highly recommended. Wonderful food and lovely staff

20/08/2025: IT'S CLOSED DOWN! Didn't know until we arrived. Please update here.

17/08/2025: To you One & All in Butt Mullins on 17th August 2025- Thank you for many, many years of wonderful service, great food and the homely, warm welcome we always received at Butt's. Thank you also, especially, for keeping Deep Fried Brie always available to us for your youngest on every visit. We know it was a pain, but hugely appreciated☺️! Wishing you All the very best for the new futures ahead of you from today. Thank you again. Ray, Janet & Family Naas

21/03/2026: We’re just passing by, and decided to stop for a food, was the best choice we’ve made! The food is delicious, many options for Vegetarian/Vegan, highly recommend!

18/03/2026: Celebrated my 47th birthday at The Monread and had a lovely time. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the food was great with generous portions and delicious desserts. A special thanks to Sandra who brought out my birthday dessert and even sang Happy Birthday, which made the celebration extra special. Daniel was also very friendly when he brought the bill. Would definitely come back. 🎂
