Malzards
Lawcus
01/01/2025: Atmosphere and welcome couldn’t be better! Loved the live music and friendly atmosphere. Definitely worth the visit!
07/12/2024: Malzards don't do food, but Fred the landlord is the perfect host...
Pub of 2024 is well deserved..

Ristorante Rinuccini
Kilkenny
30/12/2024: Our first time here, but we'll be back. All our meals were excellent, and even a coeliac vegetarian didn't ruffle any feathers!
15/12/2024: On arrival my friend told the waiter about her tomato allergy and he said “why would you come to an Italian restaurant if you can’t eat tomatoes”. It was super rude and unnecessary since there were many options for her on the menu. Atmosphere, wine and the rest of the staff were lovely, fried calamari was delicious, pasta was okay and unfortunately the tiramisu, although being my favorite dessert, I struggled to eat as it didn’t taste authentic and tasted like it’s made offsite.

Cafe La Coco
Kilkenny
03/01/2025: 16.50 for 3 scones and 2 coffees. Coffee was awful (taste burnt and gone off) and felt I couldn't pass the front door as I was getting take away.
30/12/2024: The place is small and pack full in lunch hours . But the food was really great. I really like the friendly staffs. I never had such tasty pancakes ever. Really appreciate the staffs and their service.

Nóinín
Kilkenny
28/12/2024: I was in Noinin for lunch there a few weeks back, and I could not be more pleased with the food and service that I received. The chips with sour cream and chive were an amazing side, as was the fish chowder with mussels.
The decor and atmosphere was top class, and the staff were very friendly, I will definitely be coming back for lunch soon.
10/10

Campagne
Kilkenny
13/12/2024: What an enjoyable evening. From the moment we entered the restaurant, everything went ultra smoothly..
Service is impeccable. After an aperitif, pheasant soup with chestnuts was delicious and very savoury. My venison main wasn't perfectly cooked and our bottle of Italian red was a great match.
Dessert was an apple Tarte tatin..
I had waited 5 years to visit this restaurant and it didn't disappoint.
Company was excellent too..
All in all, a great evening..
07/12/2024: Starters for both: foie gras was excellent. Mains: fillet of beef and venison. Probably the best Fillet I have ever had. Partners venison was very good.
Dessert: salted caramel parfait x2 and an Irish coffee. The parfait was excesively salted and a let down for the amazing food which had come before it. Presentation was also poor. Irish coffee was perfect. Staff were friendly and attentive, but not overly so.

Matt The Millers Bar & Restaurant
Kilkenny
18/01/2025: Beautiful Irish pub, an authentic atmosphere, the girls who serve you are charming, without a doubt the ideal place to have a good beer in Kilkenny in good company.
18/01/2025: In the city of pubs (more pubs per inhabitant of Ireland) this one is worth it, a warm atmosphere, next to the River and pints at €7, an affordable price.
I haven't eaten and I can't comment, the downstairs living room is very cool.
Advisable

The Field
Kilkenny
21/12/2024: This little bar is so full of life. There was live music when I visited and people singing along to songs they knew. Loved the atmosphere. I don’t think they have food though.
16/11/2024: Nos encanta una velada fantástica en el Field Pub en la gran ciudad de Kilkenny Irlanda. Mary, nuestro camarero ha superado nuestra experiencia en Irlanda. Gracias, gracias, gracias!

Rive Gauche
Kilkenny
16/12/2024: Nice spot, been a couple of times now. Only loss of the star is on each visit, a steak was ordered by a different person in our party. Each time it was cooked longer than asked for, we didn't raise this with the staff so won't fault them for it.
19/11/2024: Great food and friendly service

Tim's Bar
Thomastown
19/10/2024: D'un point de vue français la façade ferait presque fuir (comme souvent en Irlande) mais il faut pousser la porte, c'est juste parfait à tous points de vue, ambiance, cuisine, rien à redire. J'ai fait beaucoup de pubs / restaurants en Irlande, celui-ci fait partie de mes préférés.
14/08/2024: The food was VERY GOOD, the place is welcoming and the staff super friendly!
