Dino's


Thomastown
20/09/2025: Ate at Dino's 3 evenings in a row while staying in Thomastown. Fast, friendly service every time. Changed it up with fish, chicken and pizza. All were great with very generous proportions. Will be eating there again if I ever get back this way.

Golden Inn Palace


Kilkenny
31/03/2026: Stingy portion paid 14 euro for this !! I asked for extra chicken balls instead of 4 sausages and they gave me 1 extra chicken ball 🤣
01/03/2026: Order from here all the time. Made an order today, waited an hour, food still wasn’t here so I rang. Girl on the phone said she couldn’t find the order cause the slip didn’t print out and that there was nothing she could do, that it would take a few days for a refund or an hour or more for the food to be delivered (after me just waiting an hour). She was rude and unbothered. This was the last straw for me. I genuinely won’t be ordering from here anymore, I expected better customer service especially with us being regulars.

The Metropole


Kilkenny
22/03/2026: Absolutely awful experience from start to finish. The room itself was in a shocking state, with mould growing on the walls which immediately made the whole place feel dirty and unsafe. To make things worse, we had complete strangers somehow entering our room at 3am — even though the door was locked. It was genuinely unsettling and left us feeling like we couldn’t relax for a second. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the guys staying upstairs took a shower and the water literally came through the ceiling and onto our bed. Completely unacceptable and honestly unbelievable that a place like this is allowed to operate. There was never anyone at reception or in the lobby to speak to, so we had no way to report these issues or get help. By the end of the stay, we felt so uncomfortable that it was like our skin was crawling the entire time. Even basic things didn’t work properly — the curtains wouldn’t close, leaving us with no privacy. The only positive thing I can say is that the location was good. Unfortunately, that’s nowhere near enough to make up for everything else. I would strongly advise avoiding this place.

Oriental Ming Court


Kilkenny
05/04/2026: I rarely leave reviews, but this experience was genuinely disappointing. I had higher expectations, but unfortunately, everything fell short—from the quality to the overall service. It’s frustrating when something so simple is done so poorly. Worst chinese restaurant ever!
05/04/2026: Really disappointed with this salt & chili bag. The food was extremely greasy, and the sauce was watery and separated, which made everything taste unpleasant. The chips were soggy and not crispy at all, and the chicken coating was soft instead of crunchy. There were only a few small pieces of chicken, and apart from some powder seasoning, there were no vegetables at all—no peppers, no onions, no garlic. For takeaway, it cost €9.90 (and €14 for dine-in), which is definitely not worth it for the quality and portion size. Also, despite being takeaway, they didn’t include a fork or napkins—I had to ask for them. Overall, very poor experience. I definitely won’t be coming back.

04/07/2025: En un viaje reciente a Kilkenny, tuve la suerte de pasar por el bar Marble City para almorzar. He visitado Kilkenny en muchas ocasiones pero nunca habĂ­a comido aquĂ­ antes. Kevin, que era agradable, conversador y todo un caballero, me sirviĂł una comida deliciosa. Esto hizo que mi experiencia fuera muy placentera y tengo toda la intenciĂłn de volver a venir aquĂ­ para comer.

Truffles Restaurant


Kilkenny
23/09/2024: Fui aquí a cenar y tomé sopa del día que era de puerro y patatas y para principal tuve pollo. No se molestó con el postre. Realmente disfruté de la comida. El personal es encantador. El servicio es rápido y el lugar está muy limpio. También hay un ambiente relajante encantador allí. Está a solo unos minutos a pie del centro de la ciudad de Kilkenny. Lo recomendaría a cualquiera y volvería a ir de nuevo.
21/09/2024: Such a warm.welcome.and great food in this family run restaurant.

La Trattoria


Kilkenny
31/03/2024: Even though reservation was taken via Google upon arrival it was clearly evident that the place has been permanently closed for some time.
28/02/2024: Absolutely disgraceful behaviour from the manager/owner of this restaurant. We had a booking confirmation email that confirmed our reservation and were refused entry and basically told to leave because he claims they don’t do online bookings. Why on earth have a system set up where you can book online then? He was extremely rude waving his arms in the air and telling us we were wrong, even though his restaurant was empty and could have simply given us a table regardless of the mix up on his behalf.

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 delicious, the place was welcoming and the staff was super friendly!
