Statham's
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.

Little Collins CBD Dispensary
Kilkenny
18/08/2025: love this branch of cafes i’ve been to all 3 locations and the staff are amazing!
03/07/2025: What an epic little café nestled into the medieval Kilkenny streets. The staff are super friendly, helpful and obliging. I love to pop in whenever I'm down in Kilkenny for some tea and a fancy pants coffee buzz. I've actually never eaten here but I've tried their CBD pecan pie, which is delish 😋 One downside is cash only, but I make sure to have some cash on me when in the city especially for Little Collins.

Paris Texas Bar & Smokehouse
Kilkenny
21/09/2025: Good dishes, typical Irish pub, well-kept and traditional
20/09/2025: A large and very nice restaurant, with several rooms with different ambiances. Very clean and scenic, a bit chaotic.
We didn't wait long to be seated and order, but unfortunately, both dishes arrived cold or barely warm. When the waitress asked if they were okay, we pointed this out, and she immediately offered to refill them, but we were very hungry and in a hurry, so we politely declined. After a while, the manager arrived and told us he would remove the most expensive dish we'd ordered (the €21 ribs) from the menu, but he wouldn't listen to reason. Truly kind and friendly. Mishaps happen; knowing how to treat customers is a choice. Congratulations.

The Club House Hotel
Kilkenny
13/09/2025: We only stayed there for one night and one morning. Staying for two or three days would have been even better 😊.
Very charming style, great reception, and great breakfast too! I highly recommend this place ❤❤
12/09/2025: I'm often in Kilkenny for leisure and I stay elsewhere, however I thought I would give the club house hotel ago so booked two nights. There is ample parking around the back of the hotel which is a bonus, and if you've not been to this wonderful town before you are right in the heart of it.
To be honest I was a little apprehensive about booking this hotel, however the hotel has recently had a number of rooms renovated my room was lovely.
The breakfast was also great
Every member of the team I engaged with was polite friendly and genuine.
I would without hesitation book the club house Hotel
See you soon ☘️🇮🇪

The Cup

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.

Namo
Kilkenny
25/07/2025: Fast, cheap and delicious. Burritos, tacos, enchiladas with many meats and many toppings and sauces. We enjoyed this quick and rich lunch. Toilets are in a deplorable state and it should be clearer when they make the meals what is free and what incurrs additional costs.
21/07/2025: Guys...that 🐔 they serve does not taste much like chicken...does anyone know what pigeon taste like?! Just saying...

Truffles Restaurant
Kilkenny
23/09/2024: Fui aquí a cenar y tomé sopa del día que era de puerro y patatas y para principal tuve pollo. No se molestó con el postre. Realmente disfruté de la comida. El personal es encantador. El servicio es rápido y el lugar está muy limpio. También hay un ambiente relajante encantador allí. Está a solo unos minutos a pie del centro de la ciudad de Kilkenny. Lo recomendaría a cualquiera y volvería a ir de nuevo.

Royal Spice Indian Restaurant
Kilkenny
24/08/2025: Was very disappointed with the service from the Staff. Our server was inattentive, and we had to wait a long time for our food. We came with kids and staffs do not want us to be in. All people should be treated equally,I hope you will address this issue."
23/08/2025: Just had a meal for 2 at the Royal spice
Kilkenny. And what a meal it was , I had the chicken tikka masala with keema nan bread rice and chips , as you do .
Well as I said to the guys serving there ,who may I say were excellent and very friendly, that food was like a wet dream!! highly recommended.
Best Indian in years, in fact its the best Indian we have ever had in Ireland.
