I think our server was called Alina/Alima (sorry if I've gotten this wrong) she was so friendly and recommended the specials for us as we couldn't decide. We will definitely visit again when we are back in Ireland

Strong's Cafe Bistro
Kildare
03/08/2025: *FOOD NOT WORTH THE PRICE*
I paid âŹ54 for 4 measley ham& cheese toasties, tea x3 and a black coffee. After paying for my order, I was shocked at the price but remained optimistic as I thought to myself "the sandwichs must be decent". However, when the waitress brought them out to my group, I was severely disappointed with the size of them. They were literally tiny with a little side salad to make it look fancy. You could literally see 3/4's of the plate with the lack of food on it. If you are paying that sort of money, the least you could do is beef up the sandwich and maybe throw a few chips on the side for the customer. The cost of living is already hard enough, I really didn't appreciate this happening. I will never return here again for that very reason. Extortionate prices for the portions of food handed out.
On the other hand, the waitress's were lovely people. Very welcoming and chatty people. There a credit to the place. Its an awful pity about the above though.
02/08/2025: Service and food were mediocre. Music was loud.

Mellow coffee bar and bistro
Kildare
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.

O'Dooles Restaurant
Kildare
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 OâDooles! 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.

Square - Speciality Coffee Bar - Kildare
Kildare
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!

J J Mahon & Sons
Kildare
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. Itâs got that rare mix of proper character and a genuinely warm atmosphere that makes you feel like a regular, even if itâs 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 havenât tried the Algerian, youâre missing out â 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 Mahoneyâs 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.

Cunninghams Pub & Restaurant
Kildare
11/08/2025: came here hoping for a good meal and left pretty disappointed. i ordered the âspicy bacon bourbon burgerâ, which sounded amazing on the menu, but it was overcooked to the point of being dry and barely had any of the âspicy-bourbonâ sauce on it. for the price, it honestly felt like a scam. to top it off, our server miscounted the change for someone in our group and didnât bother double-checking the bill. not the absolute worst dining experience, but definitely not somewhere iâd rush back to.
06/08/2025: Great atmosphere but there are not enough options for the menu, many dishes not available.
Update
I have come back several times since, and indeed, the choices are varied, the atmosphere is pleasant and the dishes are delicious. Itâs a place I always like to come back to.

Firecastle Kildare
Kildare
25/07/2025: Absolutely loved the location, and the room was clean and beautiful. Our only challenge was how hot the room was in the evening, even with the fan. Still, was a terrific experience and the staff are fantastic and friendly. The cafe underneath is incredible, as is the dining next door.
23/07/2025: Highly recommended, with incredibly polite and friendly service. The room doors are a bit thin from the hallway, but the bathroom and room are spotlessly clean. The proximity to restaurants and pubs is also excellent. The breakfast selection was just as good as the service, especially with the 10% discount.

Saba
Kildare
25/07/2025: Lovely experience. Great food! Jordan and Giovanna were amazing!
25/07/2025: Both mine and my partner's food was overly sweet. It's no better (or worse) than the same dish from a standard take out, only twice the price.
Service was adequate and the table was clean.
Overall very mid.
