The best restaurants in Kildare

21/08/2026: Have been twice lately to Bujolle with different groups and each time everyone has been more than happy with their meals. Food is fresh and tasty and always service with a smile.

13/07/2026: Finding this little gem of a restaurant was a happy accident as we only stopped in Killcock to stretch our legs. Between us we had the chicken Parma, pasta with chicken and mushrooms, eggplant, chicken with goat cheese salad and topped it all off with a toffee sticky pudding with ice cream. Nicole was delightful as our wait person and the chef clearly cares about what he puts in front of diners. Excellent!

16/07/2025: What a true fantastic pub! Loved it and loved the atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

26/06/2025: Popped into JB Mahoney recently and honestly, what a find. It’s got that rare mix of proper character and a genuinely warm atmosphere that makes you feel like a regular, even if it’s your first visit. The Guinness? Spot on, creamy, smooth, poured with care. You can tell they take pride in it, which is more than you can say for a lot of places. And if you haven’t tried the Algerian, you’re missing out – bold, rich, and absolutely delicious. A proper pint to remember. The bar staff are brilliant, friendly, funny, and somehow manage to keep everything running smoothly even when it's packed. Even, the teachers chap I was speaking to inside. JB Mahoney’s strikes that perfect balance: welcoming, down-to-earth, but with real quality behind the bar. Whether you're in for a quiet one or a few rounds with mates, this place just gets it right.

20/09/2026: First time here and will definitely be back

15/09/2026: Delicious food, excellent service. Would highly recommend

17/08/2026: Love this place. Great food, service and love sitting out back. My favourite place 8n Kildare for lunch.

17/08/2026: We cannot speak highly enough of this absolute gem, we have been on several ocassions and each amd every time it has been absolutely top quality. The food divine, the service simply amazing and the atmosphere is truly magnificent. Well done Lucy and James and staff, its honestly a fantastic experience. Thank you amd we cannot wait to get back soon again.

16/09/2026: We had the steak served on a hot stone, which was delicious and very generously portioned. Furthermore, the service was excellent. However, the restaurant's cleanliness was somewhat lacking; there were cobwebs on the ceiling, the wallpaper was peeling significantly, and a lot of dust was clearly visible."

27/08/2026: Great steaks and reasonable price!

21/06/2026: Great staff fantastic pint and not bad price either 👍

07/06/2026: Was their with my 2 kids on Friday and my daughter decided to wander off. The manager jumped straight in to help. He was incredibly helpful while we were there.

11/08/2026: Chicken Portion embarrassingly small, quality gotten so much worse. Terrible value for money now and won’t waste my money on it again. Staff were friendly though

24/07/2026: food is lovely and the place is nice and clean and grand to have your food in but the girls working here definitely give off a bit of mean girl/judgy energy. lads are lovely and i’m sure it’s not all the girls but a couple 100% are judging you

29/07/2026: Delicious food every time we are there, served quick by great people! Specially waitress Marta, Thank you! Recommend this restaurant for families, couples and everyone! 😊

27/07/2026: Fabulous range of dishes to suit all dietary requirements. Fast attentive service. Jordan was very professional and friendly and incredibly helpful with menu options for my requirements.

28/08/2026: The pizza looked absolutely terrible, the cheese kept on falling off and it was all sloppy, tasted good though

24/08/2026: Guys your timings are different on Google and on the app. Could you please correct it? It's confusing. When are you open for delivery?

02/09/2026: Absolutely outstanding. Fresh, fast and friendly. Was recommended the Chicken Shawarma Kebab and it’s in a league of its own. I can’t stand doing reviews because I’m the first to start moaning about places getting “discovered, busy” and so on. However good work deserves credit & they’ve most certainly earned this review. Even the WC 🚾 is meticulous. Thank you folks see you soon. 🙌

22/08/2026: Extremely nice food and service it’s so fresh and delicious would definitely recommend

10/11/2025: Great to see a restaurant of this standard in Kildare. With the Hangman’s closed, we’ve been short of somewhere special locally, and O’Dooles has definitely stepped up. It’s a proper night-out spot – not just a pub meal. We had a group of 15 last night and everything was excellent. Service was friendly and attentive without being over the top, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the place is spotless. The wine list is well chosen and fairly priced, drinks looked great, and the food was full of flavour across all courses. We also had a coeliac with us and the kitchen handled it perfectly – clear communication, careful preparation, and a gluten-free starter made fresh, which was very much appreciated. It’s great to have somewhere like this on our doorstep in Kildare. Highly recommended and we’ll definitely be back.

07/11/2025: We had a really lovely experience in O'Dooles restaurant for my brother’s birthday. The staff were fantastic and the food was amazing from start to finish. Great cocktail menu and lovely bar area for a pre dinner drink. Margarita was fab. The prawn starter was delish and the chickpea fritter to start was exceptional. Everyone enjoyed the main courses the Seabass for me was perfect and so flavorsome and my brother was very happy with the Veal chop. Desserts were great and the Cheeseboard - we are all still thinking about it! Great atmosphere in the restaurant. We can’t wait to go back. Thanks again to all the team at O’Dooles!

06/09/2026: Love the way they make coffee with esthetic touch each time ☕️

28/03/2026: Best coffe in Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪

23/08/2026: We came in with 31 euro in 50c and they said no your not getting the food that the 50c

03/08/2026: Best chinese in newbride, staff very friendly always nice to my sons!!

31/08/2026: Myself and two friends went for lunch on Saturday to Judge Roy beans. The menu was brilliant excellent choices and especially for me being coeliac. The staff were all friendly and very helpful. The atmosphere was lovely very chill. We enjoyed it immensely. The food is very reasonably priced as well. It's our favourite spot. I'd highly recommend Judge Roy beans

17/08/2026: Hadn’t been for a while and ordered a pint and spirit with diet 7up… €3:30 for a “splash” of not diet 7up but 7up free absolutely shocking … I question the bar man and he just shrugged his shoulders. I asked why not a bottle and was told only a bottle in full 7up and when asked the cost €3.30. So where you’d usually get two drinks and one mixer … not here… go somewhere else 😡😡
