The best restaurants in Kilkenny

01/11/2025: Nice Staff and plenty of options.

24/07/2025: Absolutely blown away by the cake Quigley’s made for my wife’s 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 couldn’t 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 Quigley’s for making the day extra special. We’ll definitely be ordering again for the next occasion! 🎂👏

12/10/2025: Me and a friend brought our 2 small girls for afternoon tea yesterday afternoon. The room is beautifully done out. Loved the Alice in Wonderland themed afternoon tea. Would like more savory options, as these were very tasty and some things were overly sweet. However this is probably the way with all afternoon teas. Service was very good, waiter was very friendly.

27/07/2025: We visited this tea room with high hopes — hoping to have a lovely time and enjoy some nice desserts. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a disappointment. All the desserts were far too sweet. The cakes had a heavy buttercream, which I really didn’t enjoy. The Pavlova dessert had an overbaked, dry meringue. Overall, it just wasn’t worth the money

20/12/2025: Delicious food and a very pleasant place. The food arrived within minutes and it was clear that everything was freshly made. The bacon cheeseburger was amazing. Everything is highly recommended, and the staff was very friendly.

22/11/2025: When a restaurant uses the metal baskets to deliver fries, you know you're not getting alot. I purchased the 3 piece chicken meal which comes with beans and coleslaw. My son had fish and chips. While the chicken had flavour, the pieces I received were very small. The chips were dry and had very little flavour. My son's fish was good in size but again had little flavour. A really nice place with polite and friendly waiting staff. I loved the seating booth, however, I'd be reluctant to return because the food was at best, avarage.

20/05/2025: Was there at avent took 15 minutes together a drink even though I ordered people getting served before me had to call the girl behind the bar again said I was here first still left waiting

07/01/2026: Good friendly pub, cheap prices😊

22/06/2025: Sister had day two of wedding in beer garden .we had great night with great music.bar man was one ignorant man.daughter asked for hit water to heat a baby bottle to be told .this is not a café its a bar.i asked for two drinks just before they finishen 10.55 he refused me.told me im looking at you for another hour.how he still working there with his bad attitude is beyond me.pity because its a fine pub.

24/05/2025: Very ignorant, power tripping, condescending male manager/owner in the back beer garden when approaching paying complying customers. There is a way to talk to people but small man syndrome is an awful thing. plenty pubs In Kk, avoid here

15/09/2025: The wife and I really enjoyed our meals from here.the place was busy which goes to show how good it is.portion size was fantastic. Only here for a few days but would highly recommend to anyone to try this place.please give it a try and prove me wrong.

31/08/2025: Always enjoyed my food from here

11/11/2025: I was there on Saturday for dinner. I ordered the Japanese noodles. The food was cold and bland, the drinks were flat, there was dust and dirt everywhere. The staff were lovely and there was a Wonderful atmosphere but the food and drink was a let down.

26/10/2025: food is always top quality one of my favorite restaurents in kilkenny

22/12/2025: this has only take away option. they have fresh pizzas and the pepperoni has improved a lot. chicken wings also is very delicious

08/09/2025: Pizza was amazing so fresh and full of flavours staff were very friendly

21/10/2025: I ordered from this restaurant last night while in Kilkenny. I ordered Hot and Sour Soup, Schezuen Chicken and a Chicken Chow Mein. The delivery was fast, the food arrived piping hot and the chow mein was of a good quality and tasty. That was where this all stopped! The hot and sour soup had sweet chilli in it, and had an overriding sweet flavour that was not pleasant. This was more of a sweet and nothing soup and definitely not hot and sour. I then opened the 'Schezuen' chicken and to my absolute disgust this was again a sweet chilli chicken and not a schezuen pepper in sight. I rang the restaurant to see if i had been given the wrong dish in error and I was told 'No they do Schezuen Chicken with sweet chilli'! Well then this is not Schezuen chicken but sweet chilli chicken. The flavour was not to my taste at all, it was so sweet when all I wanted was the yummy spiciness of schezuen peppers. To their credit they agreed to get the delivery driver to come back to collect the food, as I was not going to eat either of these dishes, and I have just received my refund today also. If the schezuen & soup had been to the standard of the chow mein, I would have given this 5/5 but unfortunately neither were the dishes advertised.

21/09/2025: The chicken in the spice bag is like plastic

13/12/2025: Rebecca in the restaurant looked after me royally - once they dump the loud disco music it is a fab venue

14/09/2025: Lovely restaraunt to grab a bite to eat. Very friendly and helpful staff. One of the guys on duty had a great chat with us and gave my two lads a free 🎂.Will definitely eat here again next time I'm in Kilkenny!

06/09/2025: the spice bag was SO bad I think someone took a big dookie in it! service was goofy ah bad because nialls mother ate fries! I think it would be better if it costed a quarter!!!!! 🖕🖕🖕 NEVER go this place is from OHIO!!! 🥀 took 6-7 hours to get my food and it was probably noodles

09/08/2025: Really lovely food, generous portions! Friendly staff

14/12/2025: Placed an order for delivery upon receiving the order it was incorrect. I then phoned to speak to the manager only to find her extremely rude and wanting to charge further for the order which was left short in the first place. Explained that we are really good customers and this was extremely disappointing on her part, especially when no ownership was taken.

19/10/2025: Food used to be so nice. The crispy chicken was like jelly it was soft as butter. The rice was definitely boiled it was all wet and sticky al thoughi ordered fried . Called the restaurant and said the crispy chicken is wet and soggy and nothing back. Place is gone to dirth! Only thing nice about this meal was the vegetables. Never again

02/10/2025: Food was burnt to pieces staff where very ignorant and inconsiderate and tried to say I was lying about the burnt food

20/07/2025: Ordered on delivero, missed the call, owners got very saucey on the phone. Not worth the hassle.

05/01/2026: Ordered off jus eat, an hour and a half no sign of food. Tried ringing restaurant repeatedly no answer. Restaurant has a different number on just eat as to the one on their website. Ordered a different pizza from apaches and opened case with just eat. Driver shows up, food fairly squashed and luke warm.

21/11/2025: Never order from anywhere else for years . rice soooo salty and curry sauce like water.
