Royal Spice Indian Restaurant
Kilkenny
17/03/2026: The masala was far too sweet. The rosgh was good, but there was no noticeable difference between the cheese and the garlic naan. However, it was very quick.
02/02/2026: All the menu items we tasted was weirdly sweet. Just sweet. I have no idea how everything tasted the same kind of sweet, be it paneer, baingan, or even non veg curries. The only thing I liked was samosas. I would sadly not recommend this place to anyone with a spice palate.

Doppio Café & Restaurant
Kilkenny
30/07/2025: Have had the pleasure of eating here twice over a few days.
Brunch/Breakfast on a busy Saturday... pancakes excellent with bacon and maple syrup.
And a kids portion of Nutella pancakes all went down a treat
We had beetroot and avocado toast which was lovely could have eaten more.
Was nearby for lunch on a second occasion and the food didn't disappoint.
Burger and fries where tasty.
Kids sliders and chips went down a treat.
Missed out on dessert as it was closing time.
Coffee was good.
Both occasions staff where very nice and friendly service was quick.
Will be back!
24/07/2025: Had the most amazing birthday breakfast for my wife at Doppioâs and couldnât fault a single thing.
The staff were warm, welcoming, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and special.
We ordered the full Irish and the blueberry pancakes both were absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked, great quality ingredients, and full of flavour. The pancakes especially were a real hit fluffy, fresh, and packed with blueberries!
Iâve also had lunch here in the past, and the steak sandwich still stands out as one of the best Iâve ever had served on a rustic baguette, packed with flavour, and cooked just right.
Consistently great food, lovely atmosphere, and fantastic service. Highly recommend Doppioâs itâs a gem! đđłđ„©đ«

Kilkenny Home Rule Club
Kilkenny
11/08/2025: Traditional Irish music session on the first Friday of the month. All musicians welcome. Well worth a visit. Roaring open fire on the colder nights. Pool table. Large smoking area. A hop, skip and a jump from where the library was on John's Quay.
08/08/2025: Lovely spacious spot to socialise

Bridie's Bar & General Store

Quigleys Cafe, Bakery & Deli
Kilkenny
01/11/2025: Nice Staff and plenty of options.
24/07/2025: Absolutely blown away by the cake Quigleyâs made for my wifeâs birthday!
It looked stunning, tasted incredible, and was a real showstopper at the party. Everyone was asking where we got it from and my wife couldnât have been happier!
What made it even better was how quick and easy their online ordering service was. Simple to navigate, great communication, and everything was ready exactly as promised.
Massive thanks to the whole team at Quigleyâs for making the day extra special. Weâll definitely be ordering again for the next occasion! đđ

CaffĂš Nero Kilkenny
Kilkenny
06/11/2025: The baristas are really friendly and make excellent coffee! The atmosphere is also fantastic. Especially if you sit upstairs, you can just switch off and enjoy your coffee in peace and quiet.
02/11/2025: Great place to chill. Awesome to have lovely well behaved dogs welcome. Staff friendly and great coffee. Setup meand tables are a bit close together and clamped. Toilet is upstairs, just a little challenging for an elderly family member.

Dick's SuperValu Ballyragget
Ballyragget
10/11/2025: Love the customer service here đ
12/09/2025: i was having a really bad day today, but then iwent to supervalu ballyragget...it got even worse, i was on the brink and then i came in here and it pushed me over the edge, first i watched thru the doors and strolled to the deli, i asked for a chicken fillet roll and he got that, grand, i then proceeded to ask for egg mayo and he then proceeded to smack the egg mayo on the roll like he was trying to stick it to the wall, he then put the fillet in. he just put the fillet in, without even cutting it, i had to go home and cut it myself and preform the surgery on the roll there, not even cutting in half either, was absolute madness. I wonder had the man every seen a chicken fillet roll in his life

Gourmet Grill
Thomastown
26/09/2025: I live about 5 miles away out of the dozen in the same radius this is by far the best takeaway. Good food and great service. They Answer the phone even when busy, get the order right, in at most 15-20 min & the food is good. An excellent chipper all round. Keep up the good work.
31/05/2025: Wonderful local âchipperâ spotlessly clean with friendly hard working staff. The food was excellent with generous portions. I had Southern fried chicken , chips and chilli sauce, excellent. But the highlight was the smiling friendly staff. It is worth going in just to see the pizza ladies smile, Rosalia I think was her name. I will be ordering Pizza next time đ
