La Rivista
Kilkenny
15/03/2024: Fantastic Italian gem where we least expected it. Wonderful ambiance, excellent drinks, the goat cheese tart was amazing, as was the pizza. I loved having local traditional food while in Ireland, but this was a surprise find that should not be missed. The pizza is obviously a craft for them. Enjoy it slowly!
13/03/2024: Very friendly welcome and service.
The soup and salad are really delicious and were welcome after the Stena Line cuisine.
I recommend

18/03/2024: Excellent menu with plenty of choice, very accommodating staff and dog friendly(limited number of dogs at a time). Their bakery across the road is also well worth visiting! Ring in advance during busy times.

AROI
Kilkenny
04/04/2024: Really confused as to why there are so many great reviews on this place.
The food is below average and completely overpriced. I wouldn’t eat here again.
03/04/2024: It was very busy so we had to sit at bar table but the yellow curry was so tasty, it was worth it!

Lana Kilkenny Asian Street Food
Kilkenny
05/03/2024: As always our experience here was fantastic. The quality of the food and value for money are exceptional. In an economy where the price of eating out has become absolutely ridiculous and the quality and value for money ever decreasing Lana has always, in my view, been outstanding and with the added bonus of free whipped ice-cream at the end.... What's not to love? They also offer a monthly special at a reduced price which is another incentive to eat there and try something maybe you hadn't before. The staff are always welcoming and friendly but efficient and have never gotten an order wrong. And I've been going here for years! Also, the decor and atmosphere here are so calm and inviting. But quirky and fun at the same time. I cannot say a bad word about this place. Even our kids love it, they offer a great kids menu that doesn't lack in flavour either! Hats off to you all in there for consistently delivering a wonderful experience!
14/02/2024: Excellent.. friendly. Clean and good food. Nice casual atmosphere... Highly recommended

Namo
Kilkenny
16/03/2024: This was my best burrito ever! The fresh tortilla chips were perfect.
For only 10€ you get the biggest burrito, which you nearly can't finish.
07/02/2024: We found the place by chance because we wanted to have something different for dinner and it tasted amazing.
The Namo establishment - I don't know if it is a franchise - works in a very similar way to Tierra Burrito Bar. You will see the ingredients on the counter and the clerk will ask you step by step which ones you want until assembling the burrito.
None of the ingredients are of high quality, but the great variety there is is striking. It is difficult for it not to turn out to your liking. The size of the burrito also stands out positively, which is large in size.
Although without a doubt what I liked most about the establishment was its decoration, since there were a large number of picturesque paintings adorning the premises.
If you are tired of fastfood or Subways I would give it a try, I doubt you will leave unhappy.

Lady Helen
27/03/2024: Had a great evening here in late March 24. Staff are very engaging and interactive. The menu could have offered us more variety in the bread options.
05/03/2024: From start to finish it was a wonderful experience! The staff, atmosphere, wine and food was outstanding. We went with a group of friends and everyone thought it was fab. Can't wait to return.

Italian Connection
Kilkenny
30/03/2024: The bill was writen on the notebook paper, we did not get receipt, so we don't know what was the actual price of wine, because it wasn't on the menu.
24/03/2024: The food was okay. Service is fast. Some of the Italian speaking waiters are not very friendly though, even on the border of being rude. This is a bit puzzling, considering Italians are generally quite warm people.

Daniel W Bollards
Kilkenny
04/04/2024: Great pint of Guinness, also had live traditional music on the night we called in.
13/03/2024: The open fire was not lighting . Which is a great welcoming feel on a cold, wet day. Which is disappointing. Bring back the fire 🔥.
