The best restaurantsof irish in Kilkenny

14/01/2026: I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Nostalgia Coffee on High Street, Kilkenny. After ordering chips and two sausages, I noticed the sausages on another customer’s plate looked very small and unappealing, so I asked if it was possible to change my order. I was told the sausages were already on, and I said that if that was the case, it was okay. When my food arrived, the sausages were skinless and of very poor quality. I called the staff member over and politely said I didn’t like them and asked if they could be changed. I was told, “they’re the only sausages we have,” and she walked away without offering any alternative. I was then told I could have beans instead and that I would not be charged for them since I didn’t like the sausages. The portion of chips served was extremely small "children’s menu" yet I was charged €5.45 for a “small chips.” The beans were clearly microwaved, with a thick skin on top and stuck to the bowl, making them inedible. I took one bite of a sausage and had to leave the rest it was obvious they were not eaten. At the till, despite being told I would not be charged for the beans, I was charged €2 for them simply because I hadn’t eaten the sausages. This felt very unfair and inconsistent. My partner’s soup (€8.45) was extremely watery, and the bread roll served with it was clearly reheated, piping hot, and burnt. To top it off, I was charged over €4.25c for a small bottle of Coke, plus a deposit. The total came to €20.30, yet the only thing I could eat from my plate was the chips. Between the poor food quality, tiny portions, reheated bread, watery soup, and contradictory customer service, this was a very disappointing experience. I won’t be returning. Also to mention the sign in the toilet that if your not a customer you will be charged 50cent. I think the ladies knew I was very annoyed leaving, but still didnt stop to help or even ask was everything ok. Never again

04/12/2025: 2 stars as the ladies working there were very attentive and overall lovely. I ordered a cappucino for take away but by the taste and look of it it seemed to have been an Americano with milk..which I paid over 5 euro for and even at that it was below average in taste.. I got a pastry with it which only at home I realised tasted dry, nearly tasteless, and stale. I tried to heat it up but it was so unpleasant that I ended up just throwing it out. 10 euro spent on something I could get better quality of at a petrol station. Very disappointing and will not visit again.
