The best restaurants in Kildare

18/06/2025: Hidden oasis for nice coffee with a great selection of shrubs and trees with 2 very friendly birds

16/06/2025: Lovely environment for some good coffee

18/07/2025: Always welcome staff . Love thus petrol station

01/07/2025: Busy place all good in the hood.

15/07/2025: My friend and I wondered in just before Christmas, and the staff was very friendly and accommodating, especially, with my vegan needs. It was an experience rather than simple dining. Absolutely stunning food! Highly recommend to visit this restaurant, and to experience the cuisine and the hospitality of O’Dooles! It is definitely going to be a memorable experience!

05/07/2025: Amazing little restaurant. Came across it by accident recently and I'm so glad I did. The food was amazing and they also do really good cocktails. Great place for a nice evening out. Very pleasant staff and very accommodating for gluten free foods.

19/06/2025: I love Yum Yum and have enjoyed many coffees and catch ups with my daughter

13/05/2025: Very friendly staff. Lovely spot . Great coffee and lots of choice

29/06/2025: Food was lovely and the staff were so nice and the food was served quickly. Would definitely recommend and go back again.

19/06/2025: Been there quite a few times recently. The food is high quality and well made, but in my opinion, it's the coffee that stands out. Probably the best latte I've ever had. Just be aware that the shop is quite small so getting a table can be hard at peak times.

27/05/2025: This is exactly what my daughter and I were looking for in a coffee shop! First of all, great coffee, and what I especially appreciated was that my Americana was served really hot, which is hard to find these days. The scones were excellent too, and we will return and try other pastries. It's small and cosy, with a quintessential small coffee shop feel. If you're staying at the Court Yard hotel, it's essentially right across the street.

18/05/2025: Wonderful food, lovely staff. Busy little place. Enjoyed my stay.

28/05/2025: I recently visited Zambero in Maynooth and had a really good experience. I was served by Darcey and Ciara, who were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I ordered a toasted burrito which was delicious, packed with fresh ingredients, flavour, and perfectly wrapped. Loved the relax and clean atmosphere in the restaurant. I’ll definitely be coming back!

24/05/2025: I arrived flustered just before closing time, but Nathan and Ciara were so friendly and helpful! The food was excellent and I’m sad I’m only passing through otherwise this place would be a regular!

03/07/2025: Very cool, thank you for having such establishments in such small towns

22/06/2025: Absolutely loved this place! The pizza was freshly made, perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The cheese was melty and delicious, and the toppings were super fresh and flavorful. I especially recommend the classic pepperoni — every bite was packed with taste.

23/07/2025: The atmosphere was great, a comfy yet contemporary vibe. The staff were professional and the food was delicious.

21/07/2025: Loved the Dan dan noodles. my favourite along with some shrimp crackers.

09/06/2025: This isn't just the best pizza in Leixlip or Kildare. This is the best pizza in Leinster. Wood fired, thin base and perfect toppings. Don't miss out.

15/06/2025: Great coffee, very nice staff and a great selection of treats

31/05/2025: I'm an American tasting your coffee so take this for what it's worth. Delicious espresso baristas know what they're doing but unfortunately they don't make their own syrups so if you are on the sweet side you'll be disappointed. Also we don't get the Heineken bottles on display?! Is this a bar or a cafe? Worth the stop. Onward!

18/07/2025: Great food. Staff are brilliant. Recommend

24/06/2025: Food was very nice. There early in the week so it was a bit quite from an atmosphere point of view

13/06/2025: Very unhappy. Was in there yesterday for a takeaway coffee. Was in a hurry and tapped my phone. Am very unhappy that they have a tip by card point located right beside the till where you tap your card. I paid €3.50 for the coffee but noticed later that the tip reader also picked up my card details and in a separate transaction it took €1 tip from my card. This is terrible. It should not be right beside the place you tap your card . I'm sure I'm not the only one this has happened too. Please have to fixed.

07/06/2025: I had breakfast here, the food was very good, service too and the staff were very friendly and efficient. I would highly recommend 👌

01/07/2024: Meal was amazing. We had steak. Sad to see J1s going. Will miss Mary and Barry and staff. Best wishes in their future

18/06/2024: Nice fast food, eggs and sausages cooked properly. Working man's paradise.

09/06/2025: This place makes the best mocha 😋

23/04/2025: Great coffee! Best filter and espresso around
