The best restaurants in Kildare

21/09/2025: Fantastic place with great service. Very busy place , that shows its popularity. Kid friendly place. For the money the portion of food is also more than adequate. Really enjoyed. People queuing to get a seat, but we got it in 5 minutes.

09/09/2025: Sásta in Maynooth has incredibly delicious food. It's especially good for vegetarians and vegans. The vegan breakfast is gorgeous. I would do anything for that turmeric hummus! Everything here is prepared from scratch. You can taste the difference. Give it a go!

08/03/2026: Beautiful hotel, staff very helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend.

08/03/2026: Food ok service very slow nearly an hour waiting

18/01/2026: Exceptional visit tonight. Staff were attentive but not intrusive. Portions were huge and food was flavoursome. We will be back.

11/01/2026: I went here for the first time ever for a date night & it was absolutely 💯 from start to finish! The atmosphere was cosy & warm, we had a 3 course and it was amazingly delicious & I haven't been able to finish every meal from a 3 course in a long, long time! Have to compliment especially the sticky toffee pudding, it was to die for 🤤 The staff were extremely friendly & professional, kind & warm. Definitely will be back again to sample more from the menu! 😊 Sadly, I scoffed down the dessert so fast, I forgot to snap a picture 😂

03/01/2026: Great service good food love it. It’s amazing it’s good

15/12/2025: The place has totally changed after the reopening. They have added Pizza Max to five star kebab

30/12/2025: Good food, good prices. Staff is nice.

16/11/2025: Mani In pasta italian restaurant offers a warm and inviting dining experience filled with rich flavors and comforting dishes. The menu typically includes classics like pasta, pizza, risotto, and fresh salads, all made with quality ingredients and plenty of authenticity. The atmosphere is cozy, often featuring soft lighting and charming décor that gives a true Italian feel. Service is attentive and friendly, and staff are usually happy to recommend dishes or wine pairings. Whether you’re enjoying a casual meal or a special occasion, an Italian restaurant delivers delicious food, great ambiance, and a genuinely enjoyable experience.

09/11/2025: Food is nice but very pricey. €21 for some pizzas. One of the most expensive around

12/10/2025: Top class, really good pizza, and pasta. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

02/03/2026: Surprisingly tiny when you walk in. The food and service are nice but it gets really loud here in the evening, resulting in it being very stuffy and weird-smelling inside.

13/02/2026: This place is a tardis... attended for a family members leaving doo . Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Hope to go back this year

20/09/2025: We were on our way to the Dublin airport and stopped at the Canvas for dinner. It was delicious and the service was outstanding!!! I highly recommend it!!

14/09/2025: I'm not surprised the majority of the reviews are 5 stars which is well worthy for this beautiful restaurant. I had the seafood linguine which was delicious and so flavoursome. So simple yet so delicious. My family really enjoyed their dishes. If I was to critique one thing, it's small and quite noisy which if your sensitive in hearing can be hard. But it was a Saturday night and late booking. Next time I'd visit earlier. I knew the food would be tip class as I also ate in your canvas cafe in kill which was supberb

02/12/2025: Fantastic toasties and nice coffee. Located in a nice housing estate. Parking can be hit and miss depending on time of the day.

30/11/2025: Really good coffee with nice latte art! Almond crossiant was nice also. Plenty of seating and nice chill vibe.

16/01/2026: Food was good. Group of 5 couples so in total we paid a large bill. When we came to pay the owner refused to allow us to pay separately as couples. We won't be going back there again!

24/12/2025: This is literally the best restaurant for miles around.Great food ( the best) great service,great service,and prices that will amaze you,we seriously recommend you try here,make sure to book ,it's very busy for a reason.🙂

09/03/2026: We stopped for lunch, just looking for somewhere convenient on the drive home. This place exceeded our expectations. The carvery was excellent. The prices were very reasonable and a very pleasant, clean decor.

08/03/2026: Great place for breakfast and lunch. Staff was amazing

30/11/2025: Great sandwich, coffee, value and friendly service 👍😀

14/11/2025: The place is lovely, I like how they have seasonal decorations, it really brightens up the village. The coffee and pastry’s are lovely and the staff are very welcoming and lovely to chat with. I like getting my coffee, they have a lot of range and you can ask for more. Glad they are getting to celebrate their 6th year opening here’s hoping for another successful six years.

30/01/2026: Disappointing experience. While I was at the nail salon next door getting my nails done, my daughter who is 2,5 years old needed to use the bathroom. The staff at the nail salon told me that they share a restroom with the café and that I could go there. The café was about to close but still had staff inside. I knocked on the door while standing there with my two children, and a staff member looked at me through the window but didn’t open the door or ask if I needed help. It felt very rude and dismissive. I wouldn’t knock on a closed business for no reason—especially with young children. A little basic kindness and communication would have gone a long way.

22/01/2026: delcious and very resaonably priced

13/10/2025: Best pint of Guinness in town nothing has changed

01/03/2026: Randomly came across this place. What a lucky find we'll certainly back

31/01/2026: We booked a table for 2 people and our little jack russell. We were made feel very welcome even though it was very busy , we got a very spacious table and our dog was offered a bowl of water. The service, quality and flavour of the food was 10/10. The steak on the stone was unreal. It's the best dog friendly restaurant we have been to. We would highly recommend the grill shack and we will definitely be back again soon.
