Royal Spice Indian Restaurant
Kilkenny
09/07/2025: Great Restaurant, if you are in the area, it‘s a must try. The service is also top tier. I promise you wont regret giving this place a try. Though I think you get the best experience, when you eat in the restaurant, instead of takeaway.
25/06/2025: The food was very good and pleasantly spicy (just right). The service was very friendly and accommodating. There was no lassi available, so he prepared it especially for me. Thank you very much.

The Club House Hotel
Kilkenny
03/07/2025: Great food and reasonably priced rooms.
Staff very friendly.
30/06/2025: Stylish and old hotel inspired by the classics. The common areas were interesting and gave the feeling of something unique. However, as others have also written, the hotel could have benefited from a proper deep cleaning of the floors, walls, ceilings, carpets, moldings, etc. The room we had was cramped and smelled like an old gym locker room. The rooms were noisy and there were a lot of cobwebs. It felt a bit like being on a boat, as the floor was also moving and crooked. The sink was clogged upon arrival, and one of the towels was stained, and even though they said they would fix it, it was not done. Nevertheless, we had a good night, and let ourselves be charmed by the hotel. The breakfast was delicious and the staff was also nice. Be aware that there are several stairs (more than you think).

Pembroke Kilkenny
Kilkenny
22/07/2025: Quick coffee stop - great service and atmosphere. May come back for lunch.
16/07/2025: Sadly no idea what food was like - we didn't get any. Likewise, the only thing I can say about the service was that we didn't get any.
We entered the dining room to be greeted with a grunt to pick our own table. Having done so, we sat for 10 minutes during which nobody acknowledged us. Not even a glance in our direction. We left shortly afterwards. Nobody noticed is leaving.
The approach to service seemed to be, "ignore them and maybe they'll go away". Well, job done.
Don't waste your time. There are better options in Kilkenny.

Lady Helen
05/07/2025: I don’t think this place was really worth it. The wine pairing was very weak, and the food was good, but it seems like they just focus on technique rather than pairing flavors and finding their own individuality and uniqueness.
I get that a lot of these single star places that have held a star for a while are a bit stuffy, and that was the same here. The place seemed a bit soulless.
At the end of the day, the food was still of high quality, I just think the value was far off, so if you have money to kill maybe think about going here, but I wouldn’t for a special occasion.
19/06/2025: As beautiful to watch as good to eat. The chef comes to put the Comté cheese sauce on the meat and to chat. The team is very cute and friendly. It was worth the special trip from Dublin.

Lanigans Bar
Kilkenny
18/07/2025: Really nice pub.
Great musicians especially Irish Claddagh! Great music and great to entertain between songs.
15/07/2025: Our group of 6 had a terrific evening at Lanigan's Bar.
The Irish dishes we ordered (Cottage Pie, Beef Stew) were tasty.
The live band played high quality traditional Irish Music that made us feel like singing along. And the service was friendly.
Recommended!
