The Fig Tree Restaurant
Kilkenny
02/11/2025: Traditional Irish cooked breakfast. Handy city centre location. Plenty of room. Seating on two floors
28/10/2025: We had a lovely experience in this restaurant. The place is well-located in the heart of the town. It is very spacious but it does not compromise the cozy vibe the restaurant gives. The breakfast we ordered was absolutely divine (those rashers were amazing!) Last but not least, the staff were just so friendly. We were just happily eating all the way. Definitely coming back!

Kyteler’s Inn
Kilkenny
18/11/2025: Overpriced and mediocre food. Staff are also very rude
17/11/2025: A great place to have dinner and a beer. The food is delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful. The pub is housed in an old building connected to the story of Alice, who was declared a witch. You can read about her story on the back of the menu.

Arán Artisan Bakery & Bistro
Kilkenny
27/10/2025: We came to Kilkenny for the food festival and came across here on our first day as we were staying nearby. The absolute best 👌 it's so so good! We didn't go anywhere else for coffee or pastries. The coffee is fab, the breads and pastries are unreal and we had breakfast on our last morning at the Bistro. Without a doubt one of the best if not the best breakfast we have ever had. We both had the breakfast sambos and it was amazing. Fab food, excellent service and just a gem of a place. Credit to all who work there.
26/10/2025: Best brunch in Ireland bar none

The Cup
Kilkenny
13/10/2025: Excellent service. Nice coffee.
12/09/2025: This is the perfect place guys.
I'm preferably coming over for coffee but the food is amazing and you will always feel welcome because the ladies and the lads working in here are amazing.
Plently of free parking and most importantly, a very lovely covered open area to sit in the back if you want to get fresh air, decent privacy or are a smoker.

Tower & Castle
Kilkenny
24/09/2025: This place is more concerned with presentation than quality. Breakfast was just bad. Bacon was flavorless, overcooked chips. The potatoes seemed like something from a bad fast food chain. The omelet was dry. It was also expensive. We ate breakfast the day before at Langdon's Tea Room. It beat this place on everything, to include atmosphere.
15/09/2025: Coffee is good. Although if you want to sit down with your coffee, don't enter after 3pm on a Sunday. They don't even allow you sit down with your takeaway cup.
