The best restaurants in Kildare

09/05/2026: Me and my partner come here most weekends, the food is a 10/10 every time. Our favorite things to get are the bento boxes for lunch on the weekends, and the sushi has no competition (get the rainbow roll). Staff are very friendly and super attentive so it's always nice coming in to a friendly face!

09/05/2026: We were lucky when choosing this place, the food was amazing and the staff realy kind!

15/05/2026: Top class coffee shop with a great menu. Initially seemed a little on the pricey side but the portions and quality ensured good value

02/05/2026: Great spot for breakfast/lunch/brunch. It's in a old church and the interior and exterior are great. Service is fantastic and the food is very plentiful and tasty. Not too unreasonable for what you get.

25/04/2026: The biryani we ordered this time was very disappointing. We’ve ordered from here before and it was good, but this time it was completely different. It felt more like a vegetable biryani with a few chicken pieces added rather than a proper chicken biryani. On top of that, it was extremely spicy—almost like it was full of chilli powder . The balance of flavors was off, and the dish was not up to the standard we expected based on our previous experience and on top there was tamarind pulp. Our mood was so off. Don’t think we will be ordering again.

25/04/2026: Very delicious food! Kind staff and very nice place. We love coming here

17/02/2026: Food is always good, with friendly service.

01/12/2025: Everything is perefect- from food to the best staff in a restaurant.

10/05/2026: Everything is perfect, from entering to leaving. The staff are welcoming and friendly. The stakes are cooked to perfection. The feathered beef is a melt in the mouth experience from the fork full my wife begrudgingly gave me. It is a return destination.

05/04/2026: Always a fabulous experience,amazing food and kind staff cannot recommend enough

03/01/2026: Fantastic staff and food amazing 👏

23/12/2025: We quite frequently order pizzas from here ...staff is friendly...James n Magda were very nice..

02/05/2026: What a treat! Had a last minute.com decision to go out on a Saturday evening. Decided to try The Dew Drop in Kill for early evening meal - booked a table x2 @ 5.15 which was only slot available until 8.30pm. A very engaging pleasant hostess showed us to our table at the very back of the restaurant, lovely quiet but atmospheric area, beautifully decorated and away from the 'buzz' of the front area of the restaurant. Our waitress was very helpful, smiling away doing her job and was very professional and attentive without being "too much". Wonderful experience from service perspective. Menu had great variety. The food did not disappoint! Beautifully presented and flavours were tantalising! We never felt rushed... leisurely finished our meal with a shared desert and well made Irish Coffee. Definitely will be back. Service was top class... something I put huge value on these days. So "Well Done" Dew Drop! You are nailing it! 😉

27/04/2026: We attended a recent family special event.... I can't say enough good things about this establishment... Great service.. great food.. great selection... Even samples of their beer selections... As for the waiting staff & especially the Gentleman that offered my Daughter her an option with her car issues.. they are all outstanding on many levels.... WELL DONE ALL

01/04/2026: Lovely friendly staff and, as usual, great food.

29/03/2026: What a splendid place! Ever since I was a girl after church we’d venture forth to the inn as a family and my father would carry me upon his shoulders! The owner is an outstanding gentleman and a silver fox at that. I’d love nothing more on a Sunday morning (The day of rest of course…) to relax with a fresh haddock and a book to ease into the next week. As a professional reviewer and journalist this is a must-go in the captivating experience of Athgarven!

28/12/2025: Excellent coffee and really friendly, welcoming staff. Nice range of freshly baked pastries. Great opening hours over the holidays :)

27/12/2025: Such a cool spot. Bartender was super cool and the vibes were excellent. Didn't get any food as the pizza was sold out but still a great time

17/01/2026: Fantastic as always tonight. Great food, great staff & a great atmosphere. Our go to place for a steak in Kildare. We only hope it reopens very soon!

13/01/2026: Brill. Always loved it. U fortunately food side is closing. Newbridge worse for it....

09/12/2025: Order two large pizzas as part of a deal got one large pizza with half and half..one side was fine came as ordered the other side was theyre texas bbq pizza and wasnt edible..whoever made it had put a bucket load of bbq sauce on the pizza also with very little cheese and the same for the other large pizza which was a create your own pizza again a mountain of bbq sauce and little cheese even though i ordered double cheese on it This is not the first time over the last few months in which we have had problems with food we have ordered and are bitterly dissapointed

04/12/2025: Order processing is super friendly and easy, our pizza was handed over on time with awesome taste …. Highly efficient and friendly staff Must visit spot

25/04/2026: Very goos place for an easy night out

23/04/2026: Super restaurant, food is fantastic, service is excellent and the place is spotless. Never disappoints.

19/05/2026: Amazing room, great staff. Second time staying and will stay again in the future.

18/05/2026: Very nice restaurant. Great service. I recommend it.

14/12/2025: Kebabs are awful. Doner meat burnt and the chicken is a chopped up breaded goujon.. if I wanted a chicken fillet wrap I’d have gone to a deli. Chips also not nice. Pizzas are great but I would never order a kebab or the chips again.

15/11/2025: We used to buy pizza here and it was amazing. The last two pizzas we got were mediocre and the chips were taken out of a Lidl bag. No decent Italian place would do Lidl chos. Great service, nice guys but the quality went down.

21/01/2026: Coffee a bit dated otherwise no complaints.

20/01/2026: Very good coffee. Free limited parking around the corner. Visit for a coffee and a snack.
