The Canvas Café
Kill
24/05/2025: We made a last-minute stop in Naas, and after checking out the reviews decided to give the canvas Café a try. Wow! I had Eggs hollandaise florentinr and asked for a side of sautéed mushrooms. They were seasoned to perfection! My husband really liked his French toast with berries and bacon. A picture of empty plates would be a more apt description lol. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed! Our compliments to the chef!

Cunninghams Bar Kildare
Maynooth
06/06/2025: We had an amazing experience! Food was very good. The chicken cashew was the best choice! I know, not something you'd expect at the best pub in Kildare, I was surprised as well. But, nevertheless, it's very good. The staff was very friendly, even for Irish standards. Glad I stopped here for a few hours.
24/05/2025: Lovely spot ,staff friendly and very helpful, lovely atmosphere, food we got was lovely and well presented, pity it's mostly Chinese style

McMahon's
Maynooth
17/06/2025: Work in a residential care unit for people with autism, visit here very often & the staff could not be more personable and kind to the residents I care for. Yesterday was the definition of how helpful they are - staff always bring extra biscuits with tea, & yesterday they brought out desserts on the house! An excellent restaurant with the most sincere staff I've ever encountered
09/05/2025: Me and a few lads went into McMahons for some breakfast and Ian sorted us out. He was a great chap, really funny, looked after us well and did a crazy trick with my lucozade glass when he was serving it. Absolutely unreal, definitely be back 💪💪

Silken Thomas, menu
Kildare
17/06/2025: Very disappointed with the hotel , I booked 2 rooms @ 11pm the 6th of March for the following night the 7th for one night, due do a family incident we couldn’t travel and phoned the hotel at 12pm the following afternoon, the lady that dealt with us said she would try refund the money but this has never happened, we paid €176.40 for a rooms that were never used, we asked for credit that we could use against another stay at another time and this was refused also,
I’m in business myself and I understand policy’s but you have to be flexible and some sort of resolution should have been found by the hotel,
Very disappointed and will not recommend unfortunately,
I see the response from the hotel,
Saying you couldn’t resell the rooms is ridiculous as the rooms were only booked for a few hours the night before and only held for a few hours,
Short term thinking as we travel a good bit to the area and have stayed in some very nice hotels close by such as Lawlors hotel and Killashee and I must say much better customer service.
13/06/2025: Called here for food, one of the nicest meals we had, good selection and great service.

The Village Inn
Celbridge
12/06/2025: Stayed in Cell bridge for a few days in June - definitely one of the better pubs in the area and long history. Decent decor, though sports TVs, and interior with lots of comfy booths. Staff friendly and attentive. Food was underwhelming, minimal effort , minimal cuisine. Signature burger was dry, tasteless , pretty poor. Sauces squirted straight out of cheapo bottle. Still at $19. Awful French fries.
04/06/2025: great food, lovely staff, especially the young lady who is working there full time during the summer, and is hoping to become a physio.

Cooke's of Caragh
Carragh
11/06/2025: A hidden gem - arguably the best restaurant / pub in Kildare !
11/06/2025: Ate here over the weekend. Pretty disappointed overall. We were greeted by a heavy smell of bleach when we entered. We were directed to a booth and there was a strong stale smell coming from deep within the upholstery. I'm not particularly sensitive to smells but this was not pleasant. The bathroom smell lingered in the dining area where we sat for the duration of our meal :( There were flies in the dining area aswell which is never a good sign in an establishment serving food. That combined with the other odours, was fairly off putting.
Service was erratic - my son's main arrived 10 minutes after everyone else's (pizza - not a complicated dish). Food when it arrived was OK, although my battered fish came in several very un-even looking pieces which were way over-battered and fairly greasy. The fish itself wasn't best quality. Through the meal, 3 different staff members leaned across my food (starter and once for main), 1 making contact with the food itself. 1 of the servers reeked of cigarette smoke. Not a big deal but tells you a lot about the experience / training of the staff. Our table wasn't cleared for over 20 minutes after finishing our main.
Maybe this was an off day for the place as other reviews seem good.
But for me, at over €150 for 2 adults and 2 young teenagers, this spot needs to seriously up their service, hygiene and food game to warrant those prices. I won't be returning after what was a very below average all round experience for that price.

Ballymore Inn
Ballymore eustace
08/06/2025: A party of 10..we had a late family lunch where most seemed to enjoy their food, though the prices exceeded the food quality. I limited my wine intake to a single glass of red, and a recent peev of mine, in that I've always considered a glass of wine to be at least 150 ml, but recently was offered a selection of wine size....large or small. In this house the red wine is of the small variety, yet another of the party had a glass of white, a noticeably larger measure. Why would a restaurateur endanger his reputation by this parsimony .
04/06/2025: We keep coming back! Excellent service , delicious food and always a great atmosphere! It’s always our first choice !
