The best restaurants in Kildare

03/11/2025: Armelle’s Kitchen made a wonderful XL Layer cake for a recent 70th birthday celebration. The decorations looked stunning and the flavour was lovely - everyone was delighted with it. As promised, the cake was ready to collect on the day, and Armelle’s provided a great service.

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!

04/12/2025: I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Glenroyal Hotel! The rooms were spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. The atmosphere of the hotel is warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to relax. One of the highlights of my stay was the exceptional service—especially from the receptionist, Patrik, who was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. I highly recommend Glen Royal Hotel to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable stay!

02/12/2025: I was really looking forward to staying here, but was really disappointed and will not return. Staff were disinterested, minus one gentleman who was in training and helped me get a staff member to help me in morning. I had multiple communications from hotel before arrival about making sure to pre book for dinner in restaurant, but no response to my request for 1 hour early check in or bathtub. We were given a room in children's area...I guess bc of two bed or bathtub request? There was black mold in the corners of the tub, the paper coasters where 'clean' glasses were sitting were clearly not new...had toothpaste marks on them and while bedding was fine, mattress were not comfy. 😒 We were also told that their was roomservice and a reserve was taken on my card...but there was no menu in room and QR code did not work.🫠

03/09/2025: Fabulous coffee and very helpful and friendly staff.

28/08/2025: Excellent coffee and friendly staff Well worth a visit coffee is the best

15/08/2025: The food and staff here are lovely, however the coffee is not. It's Nespresso pods, which I don't think was advertised and is really disappointing ( I can have that at home) and charged at the same price as a barista coffee 😐

17/07/2025: Perfect spot, the all day breakfast is super, and the avocado and poached eggs sandwich was amazing. Great friendly staff. Highly recommend. If you can't finish everything, they'll wrap up for takeaway. Brilliant 👏.

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?

14/05/2025: Pleasant atmosphere and very tasty cuisine. Prepared and served very quickly.

09/04/2025: I recommend this great restaurant where my family and I ate very well.

30/11/2025: If you like pizza you will love plur wood fired pizza based in naas town in friary road car park this unique way of cooking pizza is delicious .also you order on the phone drive down,park up and a member of staff bring your pizza to you absolutely beautiful

23/10/2025: Got the Plur pizza. thought i was very good. love the wood fired oven.

19/10/2025: Lovely food and helpful accommodating owners

03/10/2025: Great vegan options. Everything was fresh, vibrant, and full of flavour. The owners were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming.

04/10/2025: Dora has catered for us on several occasions over the last few years, my sisters wedding breakfast, my daughters birthday, my sisters baby shower and the biggest one was my daughters communion party. I can’t begin to say how wonderful the standard of food and service was, let alone how cost friendly the catering was compared to other services. If you have any type of event coming up I couldn’t endorse Dora’s catering more!! We have just booked again for another party we have coming up and know I can rely on her and the team for their seamless operation and delivery of amazing food x

02/10/2025: Dora May catered for a recent lunch we hosted. We selected catering for 20 with 2 mains and 5 sides, and also platters of sandwiches and desserts. Dora took all the stress out of the day, turning up punctually and supplying cutlery, napkins and plates which i was not expecting. All the food was delicious and everyone complimented it. I will happily recommend DoraMsys and will definitely use her again.

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!

02/11/2025: Changing my review as whilst it is still great im not sure it is the absolute best between naas and portlaois anymore. Not that it has gone down in quality, just more competition. Some things were missing from my order today but i would not mark them down for this as mistakes happen and this the first time. The biryani i ordered was one the most flavourfull of the places ive tried outside some places in Dublin.

01/11/2025: Very tasty and aromatic food, beautifully presented. Friendly service. I recommend the Tikka Masala Lamb.A very nice evening with 15 friends.

22/09/2025: Iced caramel lattes were amazing. Kids had milkshakes that went down an absolute treat. The ladies are gems, lovely, warm, and welcoming.

23/08/2025: Lovely coffee in a lovely setting. Highly recommended!
