The best restaurantsof irish in Kildare

15/10/2023: Looked at the match All Blacks and Ireland. Great atmosphere. The result was not the one we wanted. But a great Irish team. The pints went down well. Kevin C.

17/09/2023: Great atmosphere food is top notch and you are made feel at home. Staff very friendly and a great pint of Guinness. Highly recommended to visit here

30/01/2025: If you're looking for a nice spot for the a date or celebration, The Orangery is a great choice. The food was fantastic and the setting was beautiful.

16/07/2024: When we arrived at 11.35 we were told that the breakfast menu was finished, but if we wanted to take a seat they would get us the lunch menus. We waited half an hour before the menus were printed and bright over. There was black dots floating in the drinking water so I had to order different water. Finally, when we did order from the freshly printed menu not all choices were available.

14/07/2024: Thatch and thyme can be great for a catchup coffee with friends or to break up a long journey. Unfortunately it's not consistent. Negatives first which hopefully can be reviewed and improved. Eggs Benedict, royal and similar are always tasty but the baps are always soggy, not sure is this from water off the egg or the sauce. Got the porridge recently and was expecting fruit compote, honey and muesli, received slightly undercooked porridge, tiny bowl of 1-2 cut strawberries, few seeds in another bowl. No honey. No cutlery. A friend got the açaí smoothie bowl, with fruit, coconut and muesli. Muesli was missing, didn't taste like açaí and was super runny. It did taste nice, presentation was lacking,the fruit had sunk to the bottom. The salmon and chicken salad plates can often be a bit dry around the edges. There is no baby changing table in the bathroom? The baby chairs do not seem like restaurant quality and are very unsteady on the natural floor. They are also filthy. I don't think the straps have ever been washed. Some of the clips to hold the tray were broken. Positives: On a good day the fish is cooked perfectly, the menu has great options, lovely salads. Coffee is really good. Hake when it's on is to die for, flavors all compliment each other. Open sandwich on their brown bread is so filling. Goats cheese tart and beetroot is really tasty. Has real depth to the taste. The flagstone floor adds character and is probably a nightmare to clean but it is kept tidy considering. The outside area is lovely with fresh herbs growing and for a small area they have done a fantastic job.

02/10/2024: A great place for a pint and a chat. Bar staff and locals very friendly. Guinness top class... Great music on a Sunday night. Long way from Australia/Kilkenny but we will definitely be back...

18/08/2024: We came here for a night away, food was gorgeous, the guy on reception was an absolute gent, and Aisha and Davi went above and beyond for us, they do not get enough credit for all they do ,❤️

27/01/2025: Enjoyed a really lovely Sunday brunch. Food was excellent with carefully prepared ingredients in a delightful setting. Service was welcoming and attentive. Looking forward to a return visit.

11/10/2024: Amazing Food Fantastic decor what a brilliant restaurant. First time here will be back at the first opportunity. Thanks to Paul and staff for a memorable evening.

13/03/2025: Myself and my husband ate here on 13/03/25, I ordered the hot joint sandwich asking for all fat to be trimmed off the meat, my husband ordered toasted sandwich..the food was tasteless and the meat in the hot joint sandwich was full of fat and gristle, my husband complained about the food and it was argued by staff, staff got very confrontational and argumentative, most definitely will NOT be dining here again..

03/03/2025: Nice atmosphere, we ordered bacon and cheese potato skins to share and both had well done classic burgers - good was good. After checking twice with the waitress and getting confirmation that the Daiquiri is made with fresh strawberries- alas it was not - it was made from syrup and was a let down. Food and atmosphere 👍, cocktail 👎👎👎

15/02/2025: Myself and my husband had dinner once again in the best restaurant in kikdare Town. The service as usual is impeccable and so fast even though they were so busy. I had the fillet steak on the stone. When I tell you it's the best steak I have ever had I am being very serious. People you need to go there and try it. Their deserts are devine also. Thank you to Kelly and your amazing team and to Mark the chef I take my hat off to you. Amazing food Amazing restaurant and amazing atmosphere.

30/12/2024: If you're in Kildare, add it to your to-do list, come and eat at The Gallops. Here I ate the finest and most delicious lasagna and beef from the entire region. The quality of the ingredients and the passion of the chefs for their work, convinced me to come back to them as soon as possible. The gourmets will prove me right. The relaxing Christmas atmosphere, the impeccable service of the staff made me feel close to home. Thank you, you made my evening beautiful.
