The best restaurants in Kilkenny

04/04/2024: Half a year ago, we came for coffee, everything was fine, we know this café, it's our favorite place, but one barista told us that we couldn't have our ice cream with it, after which we stayed to finish our coffee, she approached again and reiterated that ice cream wasn't allowed, we asked for takeaway cups and left. A couple of days ago, we returned to this café and the barista recognized us and said she wouldn't serve us, reminding us of the ice cream situation. We were shocked, of course, and said we weren't going to eat our ice cream now, to which she repeated that she wouldn't serve us. It was a very unpleasant situation, as we came during a different shift and everything was fine. If she had just said, "Please, let's just skip the ice cream this time," and turned it into a joke, everyone would have been fine with it. Instead, we thought, what kind of person must you be to remember an ice cream incident for half a year. We wish this establishment had better staff, like the other girl who works there and is always kind to everyone. With such delicious coffee, this place deserves the best employees and customer service.

04/04/2024: So disappointed with our vacation here We had food in the bar first night we arived it was impossible to get attention from staff to take our order for food/drinks, and after finally ordering our food they mixed up the orders and never came back to see was it ok our did we what anything else . Had To go up to the bar to order a drink felt like an inconvenience to them. Tried few times to get true to reception to get an iron dropped up to the room after getting true took at least 40 minutes to drop it up. And for the breakfast got down around 9:15 and was no breakfast stuff available was all gone so ordered pancakes and they never came after waiting 40 minutes. You can tell the owner was here on the morning of our check out the staff actually worked Iv stayed in hostels better that this 5 star hotel

03/04/2024: I would highly recommend Lyrath Estate for a wonderful stay. We stayed in the Manor and the room was gorgeous. The food was so tasty and the thermal suites so relaxing. The staff were fantastic making sure we were well looked after. A special mention and thank you must go to Dermot on Concierge. If only every hotel in Ireland had a Dermot!

18/03/2024: I recently indulged in a culinary adventure at this restaurant, where the reservation process was effortlessly smooth. The service was swift, and the ambiance exuded a serene, family-friendly vibe. The menu boasted dishes priced at an exceedingly fair rate. While the flavors didn't quite reach the pinnacle of excellence, they certainly justified their cost. The curry infused within the chicken supreme was a standout, offering a tantalizing burst of flavors. The children's goujons provided a delightful crunch with each bite. As for the mains, the salmon, beef, and lamb were all impeccably prepared, showcasing the chef's mastery in the kitchen. In sum, it was an enjoyable escapade for a swift and satisfying lunchtime indulgence.

23/12/2023: 16 of us went there today for a family lunch. Lovely atmosphere, Friendly relaxed welcome. Menu extensive. Ordering food first class. Service excellent and efficient. Food excellent, well cooked. and presented. Everyone satisfied with everything. Butler's was a nice place to be this afternoon
