The best restaurants in Kildare

17/11/2025: This is mainly a restaurant, but with rooms available. We had lunch here. This is how a restaurant should be run. No booking needed. Waited just a few minutes for a table for two to become available. Fast, friendly service. Good food (chicken curry and fish & chips, respectively). Metered parking in their private car park in the centre of Kikdare Town is free to customers.

10/11/2025: Was here on Friday night with the family and the fish and chips was awful. They really need to do a lot better if they are charging €18 for its fish and chips. My wife had the lasagna which was ok but all in the all we didn’t find the food to be that good. Service was brilliant all though I wouldn’t order the Guinness from the restaurant, in the pub it’s really good.

21/11/2025: Outstanding food ,excellent service, relaxed friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend this place if you're visiting kildare

19/11/2025: Delicious food and drink! Staff were excellent. Very friendly and we got a great welcome on arrival. Interior is also gorgeous! Can’t wait to come back.

25/11/2025: One of the best places I've ever had lunch at!

09/11/2025: Extremely rude staff and very poor service. I came in with my two young kids and we were left waiting over 40 minutes for our food, while people who came in after us were served before us. Our food only arrived after I asked where it was, and there was no apology or explanation. The staff were rude taking our order and had no manners throughout. The food itself was decent, but the attitude and service completely ruined the experience. I won’t be coming back.

30/10/2025: Best restaurant in Kildare Best burger in Ireland

12/10/2025: Lovely little coffee shop in the heart of Kildare town. Really welcoming and friendly staff, and very child-friendly. Also serving very nice coffee!

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!

26/10/2025: I had Irish Full Breakfast, it was really delicious. The staff were really sweet and friendly.

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.

25/08/2025: Best cappuccino I have ever had

23/08/2025: Great coffee and lovely interior

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.

06/11/2025: Best Wings in Montreal, hands down!

05/11/2025: A unique menu item from the East Coast is a Donair, and it's nearly impossible to find in Montreal. Cunningham's prepares an interpretation of this classic East Coast dish. Expect a far more modest portion and ask for extra sauce.

30/07/2025: Fantastic service Fantastic food love this place so dont pass it

24/08/2025: We had a great time! Very friendly staff and local beer.

11/10/2025: Everything was amazing. I was with a group of 16 people we have arrived late and we all managed to eat very fast. I really enjoyed this place and its pizza.

14/09/2025: Great little spot with amazing cinnamon rolls and coffee. The food from the deli wasn't heated too well but other than that, it is really a great spot.

18/10/2025: We stopped here for a nice Guinness in a unique pub atmosphere. The pub was lovingly decorated, with lovely little seating areas and an atmosphere reminiscent of the good old days. The parlor door was also a highlight, and the fireplace in the far corner made the pint taste twice as good.

13/08/2025: Lovely little pub. We sat out front and soaked up the sun with a few drinks 🍻

17/11/2025: Best take out from hons so far. Undon noodle, spicey, got the veggies, got the flavour.... winner!!, dumpling soup!! Winner!, chicken sweet corn soup class.. Satay sauce tonight was extra tasty, chicken balls crispy.. thankyou for making my day. 5 star

10/08/2025: Highly recommend Hons for catering. Food and service absolutely fab.
