The best restaurants in Kilkenny

18/11/2025: The best hardware shop I've been to in a while

19/09/2025: Phenomenal service. Spent weeks looking for the right paint colour. One visit and we had the perfect one. Also got an amazing sit down breakfast. Go here for anything you need. If they don't have it, they will point you in the correct direction.

01/01/2026: Was there for new years eve and had a great time. Friendly atmosphere!

12/10/2025: A bar with great character and charm ... sadly disappearing today. The bar staff and the customers were friendly and full of locals knowledge, the bar comfortable and rustic and the pints tasty. The toilets were clean and the prices reasonable. What more do you need!

03/01/2026: Excellent Irish poet breakfast. Delicious!

02/01/2026: I had a chicken burger, chips, salad & coleslaw and a couple of pints of Guinness. My wife had Shepard's pie, which was a very generous helping. Absolutely fabulous and we found we couldn't finish the amount served up. The food took a while, but well worth the wait. Everything was fresh & piping hot. We will return again shortly, this time I'll post photos

14/04/2025: The perfect place for a lunchtime snack. The dishes are limited, but they're really good and well-prepared. They don't have many tables, and there may be lines outside.

12/04/2025: The butternut squash curry was delicious and the service was really good, great atmosphere, good price. Will definitely return.

28/12/2025: The food here is just amazing.... Everytime I go to kilkenny this is always my first stop for breakfast. Last time I went I arrived on Tuesday morning the only day that it's closed.... I was very tired and hungry after a late night ferry trip and to find it closed was so disappointing I almost cried. That is how good this cafe is...... Needless to say I went there the very next day and as always I was not disappointed with either the food or the service which as always were first class. If your going to kilkenny you should definitely go to this cafe at least once if not multiple times during your visit. Multiple trips help to decide what to have off the menu because it's all so delicious it's can be extremely hard to decide what to have..... I will make sure my next trip to kilkenny doesn't have me arriving on a Tuesday morning because I don't want to relive the disappointment of seeing the doors of this cafe closed.......

19/12/2025: A great spot for food. Staff are excellent and the food is very tasty. Highly recommend.

29/12/2025: One of the best pubs in Kilkenny, without a doubt. I’m visiting the city and wanted to experience the best pubs around, and this place truly stands out. The atmosphere is great, but what really makes it special is the service. I was genuinely amazed by how smoothly and professionally everything is handled at the bar. A special shout-out to Adam, he is absolutely fantastic at what he doe, he truly elevates the entire experience. People like him are what make a place world-class. Cheers to Adam and the wonderful way he serves customers. Kudos to him! Attaching some of his skills. Love to visit this place again, just because of the service.

23/12/2025: Really good food and drinks in a cool atmosphere. Took a long time to get service or have anyone take our orders but otherwise very good!

19/12/2025: Best coffee in Kilkenny, best food too! I love their seasonal ginger bread people, so cute and fun to call them a gingerbread person and they're delicious! The staff are so nice as well!

18/12/2025: Can someone explain to me what a gingerbread person is on the menu?? Is the lady that runs it called a personager? Fantastic food but come on now there is no need for that sillyness.

08/11/2025: Great food friendly service family run business totally recommend this place

17/08/2025: We had a late lunch with our daughter and the staff made us feel very welcome. We had a chicken pad thai and a shrimp pad thai. It was excellent. The Thai beer recommendation was perfect. We recommend it.

17/08/2025: Historic, informal and easy-going place...watch your watch, you're not drunk.

03/09/2025: It's okay.. their products are expensive but it's also good because you can buy all your favorite Asian materials from them.

19/07/2025: I'm going to this shop/meat counter since they first opened their doors. Excellent quality food, meat and service. Highly recommend. Very friendly staff and helpful. Good prices.

02/01/2026: Second time in Campagne and still just as good, just beautifully cooked food and exceptional value for a Michelin starred restaurant, especially the early bird option.

31/12/2025: Very good New Year's eve meal. Will hopefully be back again soon.
