The best restaurants in Kilkenny

12/05/2025: Very loud and a hotel for a party 🥳

10/05/2025: Reception lovely, bar staff too. Had dinner in main bar on 1st evening which was beautiful. Paid B&B for what was on breakfast menu. Walked in 30mins after breakfast started, lifted a menu and went to sit down. Only to be asked did I want off the deli ie- hot plate. I said no I will use menu. Was told by the young man at front of house that it's the hot plate unless I want Eggs Benedict. Breakfast was Luke warm and best and egg rubbery. They definitely mis-sell the B&B offer. Why have a menu that staff don't you order off. Strange

09/03/2025: Absolutely delicious food. Never disappoints. Top notch, nicest Chinese around. Wouldn’t pass it.

05/03/2025: Great service great food lovely staff

03/02/2025: Great kebab tray, meat really well shredded.

11/01/2025: He estado yendo a Stoney Kebabish por más de un año. Su comida es mejor que la de otras comidas para llevar indias en la localidad, y sus patatas fritas rivalizan con algunas de las mejores chipsers de la zona. Muy recomendable sus baltis, madras y bhunas.

07/04/2025: Best panini I ever had, duck, hoisin sauce, spring onion and mozzarella. Top class.

04/04/2025: Lovely meeting place for coffee and food , staff are friendly .

17/05/2025: Great spot, Landlord and staff very welcoming. We dropped in almost by accident blown away with warmth of people generally. Managed to go back the following night for a live music session which was also amazing. Well used spot by locals which is also a good sign.

16/04/2025: (Traducido por Google) Gran cachorro local. muy amigable. (Original) Great local pup. very friendly.

08/12/2024: Small menu to choose from and EVERYTHING was delicious. The bar matton was so friendly, funny and accommodating

18/04/2025: The food and service here were outstanding. A must-try, and don't even think about skipping dessert!

24/03/2025: We had an excellent meal with friends. ————- Visited again in March 2025. Splendid food and splendid service. I highly recommend.

27/04/2025: Delicious food and cozy atmosphere. The staff are very polite and kind. I intend to come back again, it's worth every penny.

02/03/2025: La hierba de limón no es lo que solía ser, eso es seguro. A pesar de que no estaba ocupado en absoluto todavía se sentía como si nos estuvieran apurando. Apenas terminamos nuestro plato principal cuando los postres se apresuraron. La comida era media, sin ambiente y hacía mucho frío dentro del restaurante. Es una pena que solía ser mi lugar favorito para comer en Kilkenny.

31/03/2025: My sister was back from Australia for a few days to help with family matters recently and I booked us a night away at Mount Juliet. The estate itself is beautiful and we had no complaints about the stay. We were very disappointed in our meal at The Lady Helen though. I love food and treat myself to Michelin restaurants as often as I can and had been really looking forward to our meal. We had a lovely bottle of wine but the meal just wasn’t to the level I am used to when you’re paying quite a lot for an experience. I don’t know if it was an off day, or the overall flavor profiles of the dishes, which were also very small but nothing tasted amazing. We didn’t enjoy any of them and wouldn’t want to order any of them again. I’ve had some outstanding dishes as part of tasting menus in Rome and Paris that I would fly back for, just to eat that dish again, that I still remember to this day and unfortunately I couldn’t say that about anything we ate here. The presentation of the dishes was beautiful and the service was excellent. It was really just the flavours I think in that nothing stood out and a couple of the dishes including the mackerel and veal were surprisingly unpleasant. There was a weird off putting texture to the mushroom dish too. The chocolate dessert was nice but not remarkable. I was hoping to have found somewhere special closer to home that I could return to with others and with excitement, but that was not the case. Ultimately, I wouldn’t be compelled to return and only if I wasn’t paying for it myself.

15/03/2025: we stayed for an evening in mount Juliet and had the most amazing tasting in lady Helen. the food was really special and the service was flawless from both the sommelier and the head waiter. would highly recommend
