The best restaurants in Kilkenny

07/02/2026: Sadly Mario himself is nowhere to be found.

31/01/2026: Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Very clean. Ordered a Chicken King meal. Was good. Chips could be a little hotter and chispy chicken was more soggy than crispy. Way better than last time I was here.

27/10/2025: The best in the business for fresh bread, sandwiches, teas and coffees at very reasonable prices. Great selection of buns and cakes too and the staff are salt of the earth. I will always be a customer of Keogh's

10/07/2025: This is a wonderful bakery in Co. Kilkenny that I visit each time I’m in town. There are so many deliciously delectable options to satisfy your sweet tooth! I’ve picked up this cake a few times, Chester cake (which, I’ve heard in some other counties it has also been called gur cake-Dublin and gudge-Cork). Whatever you call it, come get it and try their other offerings!

09/03/2026: Don't do food but over all everything in the place is good no problems what so ever lovely and warm place up stairs is nice and quiet so can just chill out enjoy your pint

09/03/2026: Second time here n I really like the atmosphere. The barmaid smiling and welcoming. Enjoyed sitting upstairs where it was quiet and chilled. Downstairs is much more bustling which I like too. Will revisit more in the future

13/11/2025: Can not go wrong with this family run restaurant and chipper, always excellent grub and great service. It's a popular regular with my friends and family.

24/05/2025: Very ignorant, power tripping, condescending male manager/owner in the back beer garden when approaching paying complying customers. There is a way to talk to people but small man syndrome is an awful thing. plenty pubs In Kk, avoid here

24/01/2026: Possible the worst food I've ever paid for. Couldn't even eat it,everything was cold. Chips were like they were re fried. Kebab was slop

31/08/2025: Nice service with even better food! The Hawaiian pizza was delicious.

11/11/2025: I was there on Saturday for dinner. I ordered the Japanese noodles. The food was cold and bland, the drinks were flat, there was dust and dirt everywhere. The staff were lovely and there was a Wonderful atmosphere but the food and drink was a let down.

25/10/2025: Good food and professional staff.

21/10/2025: I ordered from this restaurant last night while in Kilkenny. I ordered Hot and Sour Soup, Schezuen Chicken and a Chicken Chow Mein. The delivery was fast, the food arrived piping hot and the chow mein was of a good quality and tasty. That was where this all stopped! The hot and sour soup had sweet chilli in it, and had an overriding sweet flavour that was not pleasant. This was more of a sweet and nothing soup and definitely not hot and sour. I then opened the 'Schezuen' chicken and to my absolute disgust this was again a sweet chilli chicken and not a schezuen pepper in sight. I rang the restaurant to see if i had been given the wrong dish in error and I was told 'No they do Schezuen Chicken with sweet chilli'! Well then this is not Schezuen chicken but sweet chilli chicken. The flavour was not to my taste at all, it was so sweet when all I wanted was the yummy spiciness of schezuen peppers. To their credit they agreed to get the delivery driver to come back to collect the food, as I was not going to eat either of these dishes, and I have just received my refund today also. If the schezuen & soup had been to the standard of the chow mein, I would have given this 5/5 but unfortunately neither were the dishes advertised.

21/09/2025: The chicken in the spice bag is like plastic

13/12/2025: Rebecca in the restaurant looked after me royally - once they dump the loud disco music it is a fab venue

14/09/2025: Lovely restaraunt to grab a bite to eat. Very friendly and helpful staff. One of the guys on duty had a great chat with us and gave my two lads a free 🎂.Will definitely eat here again next time I'm in Kilkenny!

20/05/2025: Was there at avent took 15 minutes together a drink even though I ordered people getting served before me had to call the girl behind the bar again said I was here first still left waiting

20/11/2025: Wouldn't deliver food at 9pm on friday night.

07/11/2025: Tried to order for delivery at 9:45pm on a Friday night & was told that even though they do delivery to 10pm normally, the driver who works for them apparently told them he wasn't doing any more deliveries tonight. Absolutely ridiculous!

06/09/2025: the spice bag was SO bad I think someone took a big dookie in it! service was goofy ah bad because nialls mother ate fries! I think it would be better if it costed a quarter!!!!! 🖕🖕🖕 NEVER go this place is from OHIO!!! 🥀 took 6-7 hours to get my food and it was probably noodles

09/08/2025: Really lovely food, generous portions! Friendly staff
