Nore
Kilkenny
18/01/2026: Dreadful, this takeaway used to be a local and favourite of mine went back food has really declined and service was appalling.
Baby back ribs which are usually a favourite of my sons were completely full of fat with very little meat cheapest cuts of meat.
Sweat potatoe fries which were €8 for one bag that was is fairness a large but were completely re heated from earlier and soggy so had to leave both ribs and fries behind.
Spring rolls greasy also left behind, table we sat at table top was so greasy the menu stuck to the table top.
3 of us which one was a teenager and 1 child over €62 in the freezing cold plus we ordered food and drink when we ran out of drinks I asked for glass of tap water for my child waitress said no we only sell our drinks here. Shocked cold, cheap food reheated plus ignorant service and dirty tables while being completely ripped off.
14/12/2025: Placed an order for delivery upon receiving the order it was incorrect. I then phoned to speak to the manager only to find her extremely rude and wanting to charge further for the order which was left short in the first place. Explained that we are really good customers and this was extremely disappointing on her part, especially when no ownership was taken.

Scott's Bar & Brasserie
Kilkenny
15/11/2025: The last few times I have went here the food was barely ok . Meal was dry portion small. Choice was small. This place used to be great but not any more desserts took 40 mins to come out I will not be coming again . This use to be my favourite hotel.
Went back again and will never eat hear again . The beef was dry the rest was OK very disappointing
12/11/2025: Went there this week and had dinner for two nights, we nearly missed due to the low rate, however I had to make a review! Food was so good, the service was excellent, they accommodate all our needs and were so gentle with our toddler making everything easier for us.
The toddler food was gorgeous and there was so many options. I had the salmon and the curry , my husband had the hambúrguer and the salad (for the two nights) and we were not disappointed the 2 nights the food was exceptional! Really made our stay in the hotel easy as we did not had to go out for dinner having such great restaurant there.

Nostalgia Cafe
Kilkenny
16/02/2026: ML Dore Nostalgia Cafe is an absolutely delightful café! The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, making the visit feel warm and personal. The pastries and sweets are simply delicious — fresh, beautifully presented, and perfect for satisfying any sweet craving.
The café is cozy and well-kept, and a restroom is conveniently available for customers. Everything about the experience, from the attentive service to the quality of the treats, makes it a perfect spot for a relaxing coffee or dessert break. We were thoroughly impressed and will definitely be returning. Highly recommended! 🍰☕
08/02/2026: I was unpleasantly surprised by the slowness of the staff and the quality of the food. I have never had such a bad lunch anywhere else.

The Metropole
Kilkenny
17/10/2025: It's a shame I can't offer less. Avoid it!
28/09/2025: The most disgusting place I have ever stayed. We opened up the drawer beside the bed to find green mould. There was stains all over the carpets and walls. The shower door nearly fell down on top of me. However we did get great entertainment out of reading the reviews and owners responses.
