The best restaurants in Kildare

13/08/2025: Armelle recently baked the delivered a beautiful, tasty cake for our wedding. She was so thoughtful in squeezing us in last minute after our original baker closed up shop without letting us know. In retrospect, we're glad we ended up with Armelle instead; all our guests loved the cake and the whole process was seamless. We'd definitely recommend Armelle for a wedding cake!

12/07/2025: My son loved his Minecraft cake , it was fab! thank you so much for fitting us in. We will be back again thank you

15/09/2025: Very local place with great meal deals and an authentic vibe. The service was very helpful and patient with us and you get to choose your own ingredients for sandwiches, different cakes and a soup of the day. We’ve loved it and it’s perfect if you’re looking for a place to eat away from the usual tourist places.

04/09/2025: Great food deals and great friendly helpful staff.

17/06/2025: It would be good if the menu had photos of the dish. The cafe is not designed for people who don't know the language well.

04/06/2025: Huge portions! My husband and I ordered the pho (very good beef, but the broth was a bit sweet for my taste) and the curry noodles (delicious although sweet as well). We could have shared a single bowl and been full 😋 The place is very cozy and you get a free ice cream with your meal. Whats not to love?

06/09/2025: Food is really nice. Staff is quick. Quiet atmosphere.

11/08/2025: 🥂 Spoiler alert: I fell in love with this restaurant! 🥂 Octopus so good I almost asked the waiter for the meaning of life. 🐙 Medium steak — juicy like the best romance (without the heartbreak). 🥩 Dessert… chocolate + homemade mint ice cream = the ultimate duo, like Netflix and a blanket. 🍫🍨 And the wine? So perfectly matched it could work as a matchmaker. 🍷 I’ll be back here faster than an Amazon delivery. 📦✨

31/08/2025: Lovely original irish pub with friendly staff

03/06/2025: Very Pleasant staffs and nice drinks..

27/08/2025: Enjoyed a lovely dinner. Staff was friendly and dealt with a food allergy no issue at all. Good food! Pretty quiet and was not crowded when we were there.

04/08/2025: That was our second time visiting with kids and again we weren’t disappointed. Perfect food service and atmosphere well recommended

06/08/2025: Good range of stuff. Nice cafe as well

20/10/2025: Went here to watch the Chelsea game and they won. the bartender was also a fan of the team. Ill be back for other matches and to try the food.

14/10/2025: Went in here on a Wednesday afternoon for the wing deal. As advertised 1kg of chicken wings in a variety of sauces, did not disappoint! Picture doesn't do it justice 💯

30/07/2025: Fantastic service Fantastic food love this place so dont pass it

27/10/2025: Tried this place out on a Saturday for brunch. Egg toasty was solid and the americano coffee hit the spot.

08/10/2025: First time there very impressed ,would highly recommend trying.

26/08/2025: The old man employee (not sure if he's the manager or what) is just as rude as many of these other reviewers have said. I met up at the cafe today with a friend to do some work after lunchtime. My friend ordered a coffee, but I had already eaten, so I did not order anything. After a while, the employee chastised me for not ordering anything and said, "We're not an office." No, you're a coffee shop in which people regularly take their time to do some work on a laptop! The restaurant was about 2/3rd empty at this time. There was PLENTY of available seating, and I did not see ANYONE waiting for a table. I'm sure the owner is going to give the same reply that they need to facilitate turning over tables, but that response holds absolutely no water when the restaurant is mostly empty. Owner, you need to stop making excuses for this rude employee. Though I did not order anything today, I have eaten at the bistro in the past, so I have contributed to their business. But I will never, ever return after being treated so rudely. That employee just hurt his business' long-term profits rather than increase them. Do not be short-sighted and isolate customers when there is no need.

21/08/2025: Tasty cakes and amazing service!

29/10/2025: Had been to Silver Oaks in Newbridge for a birthday party, and the experience was absolutely brilliant! The ambience is spacious, well-lit, and perfect for a gathering. We started with Aachari Chicken, which lived up to its name and was delicious, and the Veg Cutlet in the veg starters was quite good too. For the main course, the Naan with Chicken Curry and Paneer Curry, along with the Biryani, was well-balanced and pleasing to the palate. Overall, a great dining experience with good food and a lovely atmosphere. Definitely curious to visit again and try out more dishes from their menu!

07/10/2025: We were lucky to be prize winners from a Facebook competition. The staff are very friendly and very obliging. The food is great, prices are good too from looking through the menu. Great service and very polite staff. Definitely a spot worth trying for anyone who enjoys rich, well-prepared cuisine. Met the family running it, very down to earth and friendly people. Will definitely be returning. It won't allow me to upload the pictures of our fab food unfortunately, it keeps saying error occured.

25/08/2025: Fantastic breakfast in here great staff ill be back

30/07/2025: Great food and service. Very quiet but we went on a weekday evening

02/11/2025: Beautiful breakfast place! We went at 10am on Sunday and ordered their full breakfast (€14)and the bacon and maple pancakes (€12.50). Food was absolutely delicious, the girl serving us was very friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend.

01/11/2025: Food was ok , on entering the fronth glass door was a mess grubby , this place needs a make over , a few big plants and roman blinds to bring down the noise level. Really need to pay attention to tables being properly wiped down and make sure they are steady. Was not what I was expecting Did' nt match with the name , Willow and green. Gave me diner vibes . Staff are lovely friendly, doing their best maybe some need more training. Wont be back 😕

31/08/2025: Amzing food, service and atmosphere. Surprisingly not many people but i was there at 6:30pm (everyone gets delivery) Waiters very nice.

11/08/2025: This is our first time dining here. I came with my family and I was very much impressed with the level of hospitality they showcased right from the doorstep. I had my 14 month old child in his child seat and I was having trouble managing the seat and opening the door but our server LINA helped me to get in the restaurant. She was very patient, giving us enough time to settle down. She took our order giving very confident suggestions that made us to trust her especially with our 8 year old who is a picky eater but she somehow convinced him much to my surprise. We told her that we were doing furniture shopping and she gave truthful suggestions that really impacted our choice of furniture to buy for which we are very grateful to her. Our food was served by CAN(pronounced as Jon). He was a gentleman asking in between if we needed. During that time my 14 month old spilled my drink on the table and CAN helped me to clean the mess. When we were leaving, we came to know that LINA & CAN were mother and son. We would definitely come back again.
