The best restaurants in Kilkenny

30/08/2025: Darren and team were great! In from Nashville, TN and had the best stay and breakfast was delish (smoked trout) . Must stay in kilkenny!

27/08/2025: Myself and my partner had dinner in Statham’s by Pembroke on Saturday night and to say the food was out of this world is an understatement, each course was prepared and served to perfection. The staff were so helpful and friendly, the atmosphere was amazing. This is a top class venue with the most delicious food i have ever eaten can't wait to come back again.

10/07/2024: Overall not satisfying experience. Food was dissapointing and bland. Definitely not recommended. Atmosphere was rude and unfriendly.

10/07/2024: Low-quality food for the price, unfriendly atmosphere, didn't feel very hygienic, disappointed with this place, would not recommend since there are so many places that are actually friendly and delicious to eat/drink in Kilkenny.

14/07/2024: Tuvimos un tiempo increíble en el brunch sin fondo. El servicio fue absolutamente increíble, y el DJ realmente añadió a toda la experiencia. Muy recomendable

19/06/2024: Honestamente, no puedo entender la alta calificación que este lugar ha logrado. Estábamos de despedida de soltera y reservamos las 2: 30 Ranura de almuerzo sin fondo el sábado. Era un manicomio absoluto con la música por las nubes. Terrible comida, asqueroso efervescente y cócteles acuosos. El comedor es una larga habitación estrecha oscura sin cubiertas en las mesas y sillas de mala calidad. Nos fuimos después de una hora. Si usted está pensando en reservar esto, debe conseguir uno de su grupo para ir primero para comprobarlo.

06/09/2025: Well presented gift shop that’s not overflowing with generic tat. Nice change for Kilkenny. Eoghan was extremely helpful and pleasant and I can’t recommend the gift shop highly enough.

13/08/2025: Great gift shop with wonderful things. The owner is a fantastic guy and I enjoyed chatting with him as well.

09/08/2024: The carrot cake was delicious but to be honest the slice was very thin for the price.

27/07/2024: Amazing coffee ❤️, but the best thing about this place is the homemade desserts. I would go there every day if I was living in Kilkenny. The service it was great too. I would recommend 👌 😌

01/09/2025: Super delicious sandwiches. Was looking for a quick bite and found this shop. Super friendly staff and delicious food. Could not recommend enough.

18/08/2025: Wonderful fresh deli sandwiches

25/04/2025: Very good food and coffee. Good prices

10/05/2026: Standard non franchise Insomnia chain cooffee shop in small shopping centre with free parking. Not much natural light. Very nice staff.

26/04/2026: I’ve been coming here for the last couple of years while visiting family and have been meaning to leave a review for ages. The lads here are absolute gentlemen and deserve the recognition—always very pleasant whenever I'm in. That's a rare thing for such consistency.

25/04/2025: A great place to watch sports. The owner was really nice, friendly and helpful, which can be a rare quality nowadays. Definitely worth a visit.

09/08/2025: The reviwes aren't good lads. I'll go elsewhere!
