Oriental Ming Court


Kilkenny
31/07/2026: Was the only place serving food in Kilkenny when I got into town and boy did I hit a gem. The wonton soup and house special fried rice was authentic! I was the only one eating inside and got a chance to talk with Yen, who owns the restaurant with her husband. Wonton soup was perfectly seasoned and the right size for an appetizer. The house special fried rice could’ve been split for two or eaten by one of you were really hungry like me. The fried rice was not short of proteins, including large shrimps throughout the dish. Would recommend if you want some Chinese or need a break from the local cuisine 😅
08/07/2026: Their vegetarian spice bag is great. €10 and it comes with free curry sauce and a really generous amount of tofu. Gotten so many of them over the last couple of years and it’s pretty much always a great experience. Friendly owner too. My go-to if I want a spice bag!

Nostalgia Cafe


Kilkenny
05/08/2026: In short, everything is a three star.
19/07/2026: The "Garden Terrace" sounded inviting, but it was just a terrace with plastic walls and artificial plants; very noisy due to a fan. Coffee was relatively expensive. The cake was nicely presented, but unfortunately tasted like something from the supermarket. Overall, not very tasty. Service was friendly and quick. I wouldn't go again.

Golden Inn Palace


Kilkenny
21/05/2026: Pizza is good for the price. They charge you extra if you're eating pizza from there. Strange! The service is not great also. One time they send me a wrong pizza order. They asked me to drive back to make it right when complained. But they kept the old opened pizza box for themselves and gave me the new one. No proper apology. I'd have given both the boxes for the troubles atleast, if i was the manager.
16/05/2026: I Ordered chicken Fried Rice a really simple and easy order when I walked in they asked did I order chicken curry and I said no chicken fried rice but they still got the order wrong. Will not be trusting this place again if they can’t even get a simple order right.

Scott's Bar & Brasserie


Kilkenny
10/06/2026: I think a 3 star is honestly fair - picture is the wings that were €13 - quality was good but such a small portion size for the price - scandalous. The mains quality was decent but again very over priced for what you get on the plate ( portion sizes very small again) , for us the food is far too over priced for what you get - we wouldn’t eat here again due to this. The staff were lovely and pleasant.
29/04/2026: Reserved a high table in advance — confirmed by staff. Arrived in the evening and, amazingly, the table did exist… it was just already given to someone else. According to the very unprofessional young hostess (first day?), specific tables are only “on request.” Interesting logic — because the people sitting at my table clearly managed to get one. No explanation, just repetition of the same line. We were then sent to wait in the lobby — as a family with a pregnant woman and a 5-year-old. Hospitality at its finest. Stayed anyway because we were exhausted and hungry. Big mistake. Food was bland and unbelievably greasy — I literally squeezed a fry and watched oil drip out of it. Service was painfully slow; ended up going to the bar myself just to pay. Prices? Completely absurd for what you get. Easily the worst dining experience of our trip through Ireland. Impressive, in all the wrong ways.

Caesar's Takeaway


Kilkenny
26/05/2026: Not impressed When I order a large chip for 5€ I don’t expect a small bag. Often go to this chipper as my son likes the chips and easy way to get calories in when he’s sick but going by tonight’s standard I won’t be back. Chips were dry inside as if they were sitting there 5 minutes, threw most the bag out. Very disappointing
16/03/2026: Very por quality of food, taco chip with no taste, reheated old meat in kebab..

Shimla


Kilkenny
02/08/2026: Ordered chicken korma for takeout and this is what I received . 7 chunks of chicken . Absolutely ridiculous
15/06/2026: 7 euros for 3 pieces of breaded (BK onion ring type of crumbs) unseasoned butterfly-ed small prawns. I ordered Prawn Pakora, not 'King' Prawn Butterfly.

The Metropole


Kilkenny
22/03/2026: Absolutely awful experience from start to finish. The room itself was in a shocking state, with mould growing on the walls which immediately made the whole place feel dirty and unsafe. To make things worse, we had complete strangers somehow entering our room at 3am — even though the door was locked. It was genuinely unsettling and left us feeling like we couldn’t relax for a second. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the guys staying upstairs took a shower and the water literally came through the ceiling and onto our bed. Completely unacceptable and honestly unbelievable that a place like this is allowed to operate. There was never anyone at reception or in the lobby to speak to, so we had no way to report these issues or get help. By the end of the stay, we felt so uncomfortable that it was like our skin was crawling the entire time. Even basic things didn’t work properly — the curtains wouldn’t close, leaving us with no privacy. The only positive thing I can say is that the location was good. Unfortunately, that’s nowhere near enough to make up for everything else. I would strongly advise avoiding this place.

Marble City Bar


Kilkenny
04/07/2025: En un viaje reciente a Kilkenny, tuve la suerte de pasar por el bar Marble City para almorzar. He visitado Kilkenny en muchas ocasiones pero nunca había comido aquí antes. Kevin, que era agradable, conversador y todo un caballero, me sirvió una comida deliciosa. Esto hizo que mi experiencia fuera muy placentera y tengo toda la intención de volver a venir aquí para comer.
04/07/2025: Tuvimos una comida fabulosa aquí hoy en el bar Marble City, llegamos sin reserva y tuvimos la suerte de que nos sentaran de inmediato, Kevin, nuestro camarero, fue muy amable, servicial y paciente con 2 comensales quisquillosos, la comida era deliciosa y una experiencia encantadora en todos los sentidos, volveremos.

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.
21/09/2024: Such a warm.welcome.and great food in this family run restaurant.

La Trattoria


Kilkenny
31/03/2024: Even though reservation was taken via Google upon arrival it was clearly evident that the place has been permanently closed for some time.
28/02/2024: Absolutely disgraceful behaviour from the manager/owner of this restaurant. We had a booking confirmation email that confirmed our reservation and were refused entry and basically told to leave because he claims they don’t do online bookings. Why on earth have a system set up where you can book online then? He was extremely rude waving his arms in the air and telling us we were wrong, even though his restaurant was empty and could have simply given us a table regardless of the mix up on his behalf.
