La Rivista


Kilkenny
05/10/2025: Have always been meaning to go in but always forget….. wondered down today after parking in Market cross and my god it was delicious…. Couldn’t fault it at all… Arancini was amazing, Caesar salad was fresh … pizza was suberb… wait staff were fab … the price for two courses was 27 euro… I think 32 for three courses… can’t wait to go back…. Amazing!!!
04/10/2025: Visited La Rivista recently for an early dinner with a friend. My starter, a hallomi salad was good however for me a little drenched with dressing. My main, a slow cooked featherblade dish arrived to table cold so i returned for reheating. On tasting the dish my vegetables, baby potatoes, broccoli and carrots were undercooked, in fact hard and the beef was extremely tough. The main was very disappointing. When we had finished eating the server collecting our plates noted I hadn't finished my main. I told her that the meat was tough and veg were undercooked, she said she would mention to chef. When I paid the bill there was no acknowledgement of my issue which I thought was poor customer service. I didn't want to create a fuss so I paid and left. Would be reluctant to eat there again unfortunately.

Matt The Millers Bar & Restaurant


Kilkenny
22/09/2025: Can't at 6pm on a Monday night. Not to hungry do I got the chowder and it was absolutely delicious, and a2 person band playing authentic Irish music so this place gets a 5.0
20/09/2025: Staff 100%. Racist, homophonic bouncers. I will never recommend this place. People on the door disgraceful. Bouncers saw me and my boyfriend holding hands and said we were drunk to get in.

Christy's Bar


Kilkenny
13/10/2025: The best pub in Kilkenny. Spent a few hours with some locals there. The best group and lots of fun. Best Guiness to be had there. Didn't eat there. Don't know if they have food.
19/06/2025: Exceptional bar, you go to the corner and smoke, you feel like you're smoking a cigarette in your aunt's garden. The pool table is free, just don't mention it to the waitress.

The Field


Kilkenny
29/09/2025: Does not serve food. Google lies that it’s a restaurant. But the drinks and atmosphere are perfect. A James Joyce awarded pub, quintessential Irish pub experience.
16/09/2025: A warm and welcoming pub in central Kilkenny, catty corner to the castle. Local pub vibe. Ordered 2 Guinness pints, a ham & cheese toastie with a cup of their seafood chowder, hubby ordered goat cheese crostini and seafood chowder. Amazing chowder, chunky fish bites, creamy deliciousness! Felt like a warm hug on this cold day.

The Lime Tree cafe & restaurant


04/10/2025: Busy spot with good selection on menu. Main courses €15-20.
05/09/2025: Dropped in here on a short visit to Castlecomer. While the village/town was lovely and clearly developing well with quality new andrestored shopfronts and sensetive restoration of many buildings, but the star of the 'show' for our visit was the Limetree. Food was fresh and very tasty, service was very friendly and efficient. I cant say much about the atmosphere as we ate outside but everyone seemd to be enjoying the Limetree as much as we did. First Class! PS. Good value too.

Left Bank


Kilkenny
02/10/2025: We had a great dinner at the Left Bank. The food was fresh, delicious and we enjoyed a refreshing variety of options. Our family had the Soup, Savoy Cabbage, Autumn Feta Salad, Stuffed Sweet Potato, and Slow Cooked pork cheek. We came here based on vegetarian menu options we had seen on line. While they had recently changed their menu, we were still pleased with all the options. The Left Bank is a beautiful place and the staff was attentive and personable. We traveled a great deal on our trip to Ireland and this place was by far the best one we dined in.
24/09/2025: What a 1st stop on our tour of Ireland. Delicious food, and an even better atmosphere.

Tim's Bar


Thomastown
19/10/2024: D'un point de vue français la façade ferait presque fuir (comme souvent en Irlande) mais il faut pousser la porte, c'est juste parfait à tous points de vue, ambiance, cuisine, rien à redire. J'ai fait beaucoup de pubs / restaurants en Irlande, celui-ci fait partie de mes préférés.
14/08/2024: The food was DELICIOUS, the place is welcoming and the staff super friendly!
