The best restaurants in Kildare

26/02/2026: The better option for a night in Maynooth until recently. Their new priority seems to be random removal by lads who couldn’t differentiate a person from a whisp of air (whisps of air tend to confuse them). This was written on the night of a long-term patron who has never once had a problem with the bouncer, who was given trouble for no reason other than the new bouncer’s apparent need for validation. A disappointing experience at an otherwise years-enjoyed place of fun. Be careful of the new hires - S

26/12/2025: I go there almost every day for my take away I love their coffee nd their a great bunch of lads working there they remember what I drink. It's a very nice atmosphere nd god friendly.

13/09/2025: My second time coming here for afternoon and yet again a lovely experience. The ladies at the tea room are very friendly🥰 Delcious cakes and loved the pear almond scone in particular. Great value on groupon, looking forward to being back again!

15/08/2025: This is a lovely little tea room recommended by 2 other people i had talked to, with its little cups and saucers but the food was lovely. We had afternoon tea as part of my friends 50th. We loved it. We got an extra pot of tea and sat in the outside dining space. The staff are lovely and its really good value for money.

21/02/2026: Extremely disappointing portion of tagliatelle with chicken parmagiana dish. Looked like childs portion and very young child at that. Not asked how mwal

05/02/2026: Got a steak sambo. Steak was cooked perfectly and was very tasty. For 23 euro however the steak itself was on the small size. Definitely not worth the price they charged for it. The salad was a bit dull and chips were decent. A small side order of pepper sauce with the sambo wld be a nice accompaniment. Lady who served us was very welcoming and friendly.

15/02/2026: Our visit was disappointing. The carbonara was overly salty and lacked flavor. My girlfriend’s pasta was also bland. The service wasn’t outright rude, but there was no warmth or politeness. I asked two different waiters for still water and never received it by the end of our meal. Unfortunately, the experience did not meet our expectations.

28/01/2026: Went again > DELICIOUS < got pepperoni pizza pepperoni’s were very flavourful and juicy the crust goes good with leftover cheese and THE CALAMARI best calamari sauce ever and the parpadelle rustico love the cream and sausages and chicken wings are nice and spicy 10/10 so far and garlic bread is sooo delicious and the gelato i love it 5⭐️ everything

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

15/09/2025: Only ones there on a Sunday evening but the food was excellent surprised it was empty
