The best restaurants in Kilkenny

29/08/2026: Fantastic food, excellent service, great prices and such friendly staff! We always look forward to coming here — it has become our favourite kebab place and is always our first choice whenever we arrive in town. Highly recommended!

28/07/2026: Be careful with your money here. This shop tried to steal from a minor but luckily the security camera showed the crime. Swiping money off the counter and saying it wasn't there.

06/09/2026: Nice pub but i won't be back was disappointed with the customer base snorting coke in toilets not good enough

15/08/2026: Arrived at this bar with a group of women aged 18-22 and was met with great deal of hostility, a grey haired man who was working behind the bar told us the bar was over 21s and we’re clamping down on it over the past few weeks and the girls who weren’t 21 were willing to leave as they understood even though a few of them had been there over the bank holiday, but as the rest went to go in he refused to look at any of the 21-22 year olds IDs saying that he didn’t care. He wasn’t going to even look at their IDs while repeatedly telling them not to start with him tonight. It was noticed that there was a group of young boys there who defended us by saying that they were under the age of 21 and the man said that he would be kicking them out as well but just walked past them letting them stay in there. I am very disappointed and confused on the reasoning for this treatment and do not recommend. I have been here many times and never had any problems before in there so we could not understand the man’s strong resentment towards us as there has never been any drama, fights or any of the sort involving anyone that was involved in this situation.

12/07/2026: Just had my order delivered ordered a pizza and a few other bits and there was blue dots in a couple of pieces of the pineapple so I presume it’s mold so I didn’t eat it after seeing that

02/09/2026: Incredible. The French come! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 — An incredible taste experience! I’m honestly still shocked at how delicious this was! 😭😍 We actually came across this place completely by chance in Killarney. We had simply stopped because we needed a quick bathroom break 😂, but when we saw the shop, we were immediately attracted to it and thought, “Why not get a little cupcake?” In the end, we asked the lovely waitress for her recommendations, and she was incredibly polite, friendly and helpful. She recommended their most popular desserts: the lemon cake and the strawberry cheesecake. I was actually a little hesitant about the cheesecake because, in France, I often find that cheesecakes have a very strong cream-cheese taste. The only one I usually enjoy is Oreo cheesecake. But THIS cheesecake… WOW! 🤯❤️ Now I finally understand what a REAL cheesecake is! It was so soft, creamy and smooth, with a delicious biscuit base, a lovely cream topping, fresh fruit that was full of flavor, and the most delicious coulis on top. And here’s another great surprise: the cream, fresh fruit and coulis are automatically included with the cheesecake! 😍 Honestly, this spontaneous little stop turned into a real taste adventure, and I absolutely do not regret it! A special mention also goes to the whole staff, who were all so polite, warm and welcoming. And even if you’re French and your English is terrible 😂, don’t worry! Even speaking in “Franglais”, you can still communicate perfectly fine! Such a lovely discovery during our time in Killarney. 100% recommended, and I would happily come back! 10/10! 🇮🇪❤️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 — A true culinary discovery! I'm still shocked at how good it was! 😭😍 We stumbled upon this shop in Killarney, simply because we needed a quick bathroom break 😂. Seeing the shop, we were drawn in and thought, "Why not have a cupcake?" We ended up asking the waitress, who was incredibly polite, smiling, and helpful, which pastries were the most popular. She recommended the lemon cake and especially the strawberry cheesecake. I did have some reservations about the cheesecake, though, because in France I often find the cream cheese flavor a bit too strong. That's actually why the only cheesecake I can usually really enjoy is the Oreo one. But THEIR CHEESECAKE… WOW! 🤯❤️ Now I finally know what a real cheesecake is! It was incredibly soft, creamy, and melt-in-your-mouth, with a delicious biscuit base, a light and flavorful cream, an absolutely delicious red berry coulis, and fresh, flavorful fruit. And a nice little surprise: the cream, fruit, and coulis are automatically included with the cheesecake! 😍 In short, this impromptu break turned into a true explosion of flavors, and I absolutely don't regret giving in to temptation. Special mention also goes to the whole team, who were very polite, warm, and welcoming. And even if you're French with terrible English 😂, don't panic: even speaking in "Franglais," we managed to understand each other perfectly! A wonderful discovery during our visit to Killarney. I 100% recommend it and I'll definitely be back! 10/10! 🇮🇪❤️ They even give you a little candy at the end. X3

05/08/2026: In short, everything is a three star.

18/07/2026: Seriously overpriced average food

25/06/2026: Avoid this kip at all costs. Starter and two main courses 44 euro. No drinks. Didn’t dine in. This used to be one of my favourite places to get food from time to time, can safely say that I will never ever get food here again.

01/06/2026: Worst chinese food i have ever experienced. Couldn't eat it and threw it in the bin. Gloopy mess. How hard it is to get a simple curry right? Chicken balls for kids were like leather. Chips were soggy.

05/08/2026: Hopefully it was still opened when we crossed this amazing little village randomly. Delicious cuisine : we took chicken pineapple and chili beef with rice. Very good spot to take away!

09/07/2026: Got shred chick on 2 occasions burns both times and too salty , when I complained all I got was , thank you I’ll tell the chef , terrible service , I won’t be back

31/07/2026: Was the only place serving food in Kilkenny when I got into town and boy did I hit a gem. The wonton soup and house special fried rice was authentic! I was the only one eating inside and got a chance to talk with Yen, who owns the restaurant with her husband. Wonton soup was perfectly seasoned and the right size for an appetizer. The house special fried rice could’ve been split for two or eaten by one of you were really hungry like me. The fried rice was not short of proteins, including large shrimps throughout the dish. Would recommend if you want some Chinese or need a break from the local cuisine 😅

08/07/2026: Their vegetarian spice bag is great. €10 and it comes with free curry sauce and a really generous amount of tofu. Gotten so many of them over the last couple of years and it’s pretty much always a great experience. Friendly owner too. My go-to if I want a spice bag!
