The best restaurants in Kildare

25/10/2024: I want to highlight the excellent service received by Pau at Starbucks. Their kindness, professionalism and dedication made my visit truly enjoyable. Everything was perfect, from the preparation of my order to their friendly and efficient attitude. It is evident that Pau strives to provide quality service and it shows in every detail. Without a doubt, I will return thanks to this very positive experience.

02/10/2024: Would not sit in here to eat, no atmosphere. No view and often full of teenagers but ok to grab a take out. Food is fine and service is good. Reasonably priced too.

31/10/2024: I was looking forward to finding a new local eatery but would not return for food. Service was decent, and the atmosphere was ok. Starters...vegetable soup was ok, garlic mushrooms were breaded mushrooms with a garlic mayo, loaded chicken nachos were mainly the broken bits from the end of a bag of nachos but the chicken coupons were tasty. For mains, the chicken wings and chips were not good. The wings were tough and lathered in sauce to try to disguise it. The chips were not as described. Again, the special buttermilk chicken tenders were bland and the chips not triple cooked. The chicken goujons for the caesar Salad were very nice, but the caesar dressing was lacking flavour, and the bacon was very fatty. I hate giving a bad review to a local business, but I honestly think that if The Hideout reduced the number of dishes on its menu and focused on quality of the smaller menu, it would offer better food. And finally, I could not believe there were cameras in the bathrooms. Above the urinals in the men's bathroom and over the sink pointing at the stalls in the ladies. The attached photo is from a stall in the ladies with the door open.

11/09/2024: Went midweek and had a couple of drinks and ordered food. Staff were friendly and accommodating. We ordered chicken wings with Jack Daniels sauce and triple cooked chips. The chicken wings were tough which suggested they were reheated in a microwave and then smothered in the sauce. Not good. The triple cooked chips should be crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. These were limp and quite tasteless as if they hadn’t been cooked more than twice, if that. The fish and chips we ordered was a little better as the fish batter was OK, but the same issue with the chips. Not a great experience.

05/09/2024: If you like fresh fish, this is the shop for you. I visit East Coast seafood several times a week, the staff are pleasant and helpful and you will leave with a beautiful supply of fresh fish and new ideas. The public car park on Friary Road access is easy.

26/03/2024: Took my mom here on her first visit to Leixlip and we ended up coming back on all the other days she stayed here. It’s so wholesome and Eileen playing 60s hits and cheering up the whole store is something I’ll always remember. I ordered the mocha and almond croissant and it’s safe to say I’m coming back here every weekend

06/12/2023: Popped in Sunday just for a coffee after pasta across the road on Da Vinci’s - what a pleasant spot - just had coffee but great menu and everything fresh made on site - cake slices were slices as well including the coconut and jam - discord bockie with the coffee and offered to my daughter - just classy experience within a few mins 👌👍well done

27/07/2024: I see a rat on floor do not eat out of hare

27/07/2024: This place needs to be closed it has rats

21/05/2024: We recently attended the Osprey Hotel Herald and Devoy Restaurant for a family occasion. We booked the Confirmation menu for 18 people. The food was delicious and perfectly cooked. All my family were very impressed with the quality. The service was great and very friendly. Would definitely recommend for any occasion.

19/05/2024: I booked in about an hour in advance and on arrival the service was great initially! Got seated well and the woman who brought us was great, the waiter who’s name I do not know was also great as we ordered our food and drinks, we had no problem handing our ids to him but when a manager came back and interrogated us questioning whether we were actually the people in our ID’s which was quite insulting and then proceeded to interrogate his staff on whether we were actually ordering food or just drinking? Simply because we are young men does not mean we deserve the disrespect given to us when we arrive at the hotel after being incredibly polite to the staff and even booked in to eat food when we just wanted to get something to eat after we finished work? He continued to watch us as we got our food and made us feel quite uncomfortable as we just wanted a relaxing lunch, other than all of that the food was absolutely incredible and it was spot on other than that!

24/06/2024: Bad service even worse attitude to customers

22/05/2024: Fantastic chicken curry. Lovely staff....highly recommend...cash only
