The Fig Tree Restaurant
Kilkenny
02/04/2026: One of the saddest paninis I've ever had: few tiny pieces of cheap chicken and few rashes of bacon. All covered with mayo.
Salad tiny scoop coleslaw with some ranch sauce.
And some chips.
01/04/2026: Exactly what was needed after a night on the pints generous portions and great service. Hopping on a mid week morning always a good sign will defo be back

Kyteler’s Inn
Kilkenny
16/03/2026: We where here stepping into centuries of history at Kyteler’s Inn in Kilkenny.
Founded in 1324, medieval architecture, Irish music, warm comfort food,(in a rainy day was glorious) and more importantly the story that still echoes through the walls, the tale of Alice Kyteler, one of Ireland’s most famous witchcraft accusations.(And that rich that the kings at the time borrowed money from her)
What else can you ask... good food, great atmosphere, fantastic people and history in every corner.
16/03/2026: Had a delicious meal, good service, and a nice atmosphere with live music.

Orchard House Bar
Kilkenny
21/03/2026: We had a great stay here for a week because of work and visiting family. Everything was perfect, from the very comfortable, quiet rooms to the great breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s the perfect setting with a restaurant and bar as part of it, so it was a very enjoyable week and made even better with just a very friendly welcome every morning as if we were family. We’d definitely recommend and we’ll be back here to stay next time in Kilkenny.
23/01/2026: Room is nice, very Comfortable bed. Food was extremely good plus staff servicing the food were excellent and so friendly. Recommend the Orchard House.

An Poc Fada
Kilkenny
21/03/2026: My friend & I went when we traveled over to Ireland and it was so much fun! We actually were gonna leave because there were some guys there that wouldn't leave us alone but the nice bartenders and bouncer invited us to stay near them. True Irish gents. And we ended up closing the place down. 10/10 would recommend!
07/03/2026: Was in kilkenny for an overnight break. Came across this pub with live music. Thankfully wasn't too packed, and sat in the booth and felt like it was a personal concert. Staff were friendly and welcoming.
Ross and Jim were playing music and singing, absolutely brilliant, took requests and had a laugh. Great night

The Duiske Inn
Graiguenamanagh-tinnahinch
24/03/2026: Food is shocking…… service depends on who’s working… a couple of staff are absolutely brilliant but there’s others there don’t even know they are born yet!!! And make sure to check your bill. You could be charged for stuff you don’t ask for. You be better off going hungry. The town needs a proper restaurant more than anything.
03/03/2026: Lovely restaurant in Graiguenmanagh, it has great staff and the menu has a good variety.
Some seating outside and music most weekends. Definitely not one to miss when your out and about walking, or staying in the near campervan hub, Its your perfect place for breakfast lunch or dinner

Lady Helen
15/01/2026: The food was good and well presented. While none of the dishes particularly impressed me, everything tasted good overall.
22/11/2025: Well what can we say? Each and every dish was so good! Especially the fish course. Not much of a fish person but Lady Helen converted me! We were full by the veal course but it was so good that we finished it. We did not go for wine pairing but ordered a bottle between the two of us. I meam the wine was lovely. Every time we come to Kilkenny, we come to the Lady Helen. Thank you again and can't wait to be back!
