The best restaurants in Kilkenny

19/08/2025: Was looking for a random cafe and found this gem. Will definitely be back

08/08/2025: A unique coffee shop. Can’t wait to go back

28/08/2025: What a wonderful place Legan Castle farmhouse is . Caroline was so accommodating. The peace & quiet was so amazing for us city folk . The best best ever ! The hot tub amazing ! Location perfect, just mins from thomastown . Our dog is still in a trance ( farmhouse life) thanks again Caroline

20/07/2025: We are just back from a return visit to Legan Castle and the five star hospitality that Caroline offers. This time we booked the entire farmhouse and stayed with my family and baby. Caroline is a world class host. From the luxurious bedroom and bathrooms, high end kitchen appliances and equipment, tasteful decor and “country cottage” feel to the stunning gardens and incredible hot tub - it’s really everything you could ask for in a comfortable relaxing trip with family. Caroline is so accomodating and welcoming and always a quick message away from answering any questions. The flower arrangements from her own garden and fridge stocked with essentials were a fantastic touch. Do not hesitate to book, you won’t regret it!

13/06/2026: Very friendly and nice! It was pleasant to sit there and very clean.

03/06/2026: Worth every kilometre! I live nearly 190 km away from Kilkenny, but during a recent visit to the area, a local recommendation led me to Indique Restaurant — and I am so glad it did! I decided to take away, and honestly, it was one of the best food decisions I’ve made in a long time. The food travelled all the way home with me, and by the time it reached the dinner table, it was still absolutely delicious. Every dish was packed with flavour, beautifully spiced, and clearly made with care and quality ingredients. The entire family loved it — not a single complaint, only compliments! It’s rare to find a takeaway that holds up over a long journey and still manages to impress everyone at home. Indique did exactly that. I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting Kilkenny — or even if you’re just passing through, make the stop. It is absolutely worth it. We will definitely be back on our next visit!

02/04/2026: Amazing hotel in the heart of Kilkenny 💚

29/03/2026: A really great pub. Very nicely decorated and a very friendly owner. Would definitely come again 👍

09/06/2026: What does value for money mean? It means Lady Helen. We were there June 6th for a birthday. We will never forget it. Skip 3 or 4 meals out that will be soon forgotten in exchange for one night in this restaurant that will live long in the memory, linger sensually on the palate and will lift your spirits for days and weeks afterwards. Food at the highest level infused with care and expertise that will take your breath away. If you can get there then just go and experience it.

07/06/2026: The absolute highlight of our Ireland tour. A fantastic restaurant with exceptionally good service. You get the impression that the restaurant, or rather the building it's in, belongs to the waiters themselves, as they explain and show you everything with such enthusiasm. The food was of absolutely top quality; the main course is served and explained personally by the chef (at every table). You feel like you're among friends; we truly had an exceptionally wonderful evening! Thank you to the entire team at Lady Helen!

29/04/2026: Nice sandwiches, fresh great quality ingredients. Would definitely go again if it wasn't so pricey, 13 euros for a sandwich.

24/05/2026: Beautiful local atmosphere, pub is positioned in the centre of the Callan. Recently renovated, but still keeping the old charm. We were there few days ago as family, playing pool 🎱 and having best time.

15/03/2026: Fantastic pint of Guinness in this well established bar in Callan, Kilkenny.

05/05/2026: A great place for a light lunch. Friendly and helpful staff.

30/04/2026: Beautiful pub very clean with great selection of drinks. Friendly barman welcoming atmosphere always like to call in when in Kilkenny.

16/03/2026: Was recommended this little Thai cafe, didn't disappoint, wonderful food...

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

06/09/2025: Unsatisfied that you required to pay only cash , from the other hand the staff were willing to help and explain how they work and gi e you information about their products. Totally recommend to try the new soecial ice cbd strawberry matcha!!

18/08/2025: love this branch of cafes i’ve been to all 3 locations and the staff are amazing!

19/05/2026: We stayed in the accommodation and there was 5 of us in one room and it was not comfortable, great place for a stag or hen but you wouldn't want to be claustrophobic, the accommodation was behind the pub and you went over to the pub for food , the breakfast in the morning was very slow . The girls working there were very nice to deal with. It in a good location for the rest of Kilkenny

13/05/2026: 1st visit to Kilkenny. Breakfast here both days was amazing. Didn't stay in the hotel

01/07/2026: Mighty value with thete competition. Excellent Deli, thete Roast Chicken is legend.

20/06/2026: Decent department store downtown Kilkenny. Selection was good and prices were competitive.

09/04/2026: Michael is a great guy who also gives excellent recommendations for things to do in Kilkenny. The Guinness here tastes especially good as well. A clear recommendation if you’re visiting Kilkenny! 🍻

09/04/2026: Rooms very basic but great for a big group out for fun

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.

24/03/2026: Food is shocking…… service depends on who’s working… a couple of staff are absolutely brilliant but there’s others there don’t even know they are born yet!!! And make sure to check your bill. You could be charged for stuff you don’t ask for. You be better off going hungry. The town needs a proper restaurant more than anything.

03/03/2026: Lovely restaurant in Graiguenmanagh, it has great staff and the menu has a good variety. Some seating outside and music most weekends. Definitely not one to miss when your out and about walking, or staying in the near campervan hub, Its your perfect place for breakfast lunch or dinner
