The Pantry
Kilkenny
11/06/2026: Absolutely awful.
Ordered turkey club on sourdough. Completely inedible. Total waste of €14. Packet turkey was tasteless and just a mush of rotten coleslaw avocado and mayo.
Can’t believe how bad it was.
Waitress didn’t seem like she wanted to be there either
Chips were edible.
Friends omelette with bacon was terrible too.
Never again
31/05/2026: We order soup i didn't have the toasted sandwich with it . And we ordered a bagel turkey cheese melt something like that . So Turkey/ crispy bacon / cheese and we thought from the name of dish is would be warm but no it wasn't and cheese was hard bacon was definitely not crispy. Yeah it was not nice . My soup was barely lukewarm and had a strong taste of im guessing fennel not sure but very off putting. . And so expensive I know its dear to eat out but bagel, soup and tea for 2 just under 30 euros and didnt even heat soup or warm bagel enough to melt cheese. Didnt speak to staff to be honest they didnt look very approachable. You can see from photo how under cooked the bacon is . Over all it was okay but I wouldn't order soup or the bagel again maybe try all day breakfast we see .

Orange Cafe
Kilkenny
12/06/2026: Went during lunchtime and ordered a southern fried ciabatta which had majority of the mayo on one side and the chicken was not well cooked, one of the goujons was grey inside when I bit into it meaning it was undercooked and it had consistentcy of processed meat. For near 11 euro I was very annoyed I didn't just go to a garage instead. A vegan co-worker I was with ordered an Avocado bagel and the bagel wasn't warm but the Avocado was and he said it tasted weird. We contemplated just walking away after our first bites but we were stuck for time and hungry, we both regretted pushing through it afterwards. Maybe the coffee and cakes are okay but I would avoid food during the lunchtime rush if you have to go here.

Tess' Homestyle Bakery
Kilkenny
07/07/2026: Was not friendly whatsoever and was pushing us to get on out the door and there was nobody standing in line waiting on us very rude people
05/05/2026: We ordered a Chicken Fillet Roll and a Ceasar Chicken Wrap. The roll was good, the wrap on the other hand was very poorly filled, it was so small and almost flat. I don't know why the blonde woman put so little filling, it was not justified for the price of 5,80 € and left one of us hungry afterwards ... Unfortunately a kind of sad experience, wouldn't come here again. There are other places that sell sandwiches in the area you could try if you're actually hungry.

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.

Domino's Pizza
Kilkenny
04/07/2026: I'd eat it but I won't be telling people I ate it except for the fact I'm reviewing it. I. Only reviewing it because Google insists.
I can say Domino's is fast and efficient in their ordering systems and cook times. They do have that down to an art form, they have just left flavour in the history books.
16/05/2026: Closed and not taking calls or orders well before closing.

Joe's Takeaway
Kilkenny
07/07/2026: Absolutely disgusting place, I ordered a cheese burger and a curry cheese chip. The burger was like a hockey puck with ketchup made of water. The curry cheese chip has literal insects in it🤮
Steer clear of the place for your own good
16/06/2026: Disgusting pizza I wouldn't give to a dog.

Lion King Chinese Restaurant
Kilkenny
01/06/2026: Worst chinese food i have ever experienced. Couldn't eat it and threw it in the bin. Gloopy mess. How hard it is to get a simple curry right? Chicken balls for kids were like leather. Chips were soggy.
