06/05/2025: Paid nearly €20 for a cold salmon and small salad just to get food poisoning an hour later. Filthy glasses,chowder and soup was watery and very poor value if i could rate a 0 star i would. Very poor, do not recommend, stay safe,eat somewhere else

Domino's Pizza
Kilkenny
06/07/2025: its too expensive for a personal pizza
12/06/2025: 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 done to an art form, they have just left flavour in the history books.

Nore
Kilkenny
06/07/2025: The last two times I have gotten a takeaway and on both occasions it was horrible especially the rice you could tell it 2as in the box for quite some time never use them again
29/06/2025: Tasty food, great location, but cleanliness could be improved
This place is very close to the shopping centre and Kilkenny Castle, which makes it very convenient. There is a free toilet available on site. From what I observed, most of the orders are for takeaway, but there are quite a few tables available for dining in. The food was good, and the waiting time was short.
The only downside was the cleanliness of the tables. We dined in, and our table was quite sticky. I would understand if the place was very busy or understaffed, but we were the only customers eating in, and there were two staff members (not including the kitchen staff). They definitely had time to wipe the tables.
Overall, I still recommend it — the food was tasty and worth a visit.

Nostalgia Cafe
Kilkenny
01/07/2025: €4.75 for a "flat white" from a machine is simply not on. The most expensive coffee I've ever had and it was awful. Plenty of lovely cafes in Kilkenny, go somewhere else.
26/06/2025: Popped in just as they were closing, and while they said it was no problem to get a coffee, I was really disappointed. I paid €4.75 for a flat white, but since the machine upstairs was being cleaned, it was made downstairs.
When I tasted it, it was clearly not made by a barista it tasted like it came from a push button machine: weak, flat, and honestly not enjoyable. For that price, I expected a proper, fresh coffee made by a barista, not something that tasted worse than what you'd get at a petrol station.
They shouldn't be charging €4.75 for a coffee that isn’t made properly. Definitely wouldn’t recommend based on this experience.

Apache Pizza
Kilkenny
18/02/2025: Scandalous joke lads. Next time i order pizza with cajun chicken you tell me you don’t have cajun chicken instead of idiotically assuming i like the most flavourless disgusting chicken known to man.
07/12/2024: Hi there, we bought two pizzas and tacos fries yesterday 6/12/24 from Kilkenny and the whole family of 4 ended up in St Luke's AE on drippings with food poisoning.
Great offer, the bill is: pizza (which ended in the bin) + €400

Got a taco chip and chicken burger Sunday.
Hospitalised with food poisoning Monday morning!!!!!!
01/07/2025: Best taco fries in Ireland. I'll be honest. They are the best.
Getting a bit expensive lately but worth the price.

Marble City Grill
Kilkenny
08/06/2025: Two bags of chips and two chicken tender portions, about €25, should be ashamed of the bags of chips handed out at full price and absolutely ICE cold not even lukewarm.
07/05/2025: Had the misfortune of eating here recently. Food very poor, chicken wrap with bacon cheese chips. Wrap was like paper, chicken was rubbery. Chips were ok. Price outrageous for the very poor quality food. Honestly it's very poor, I should have known by the previous reviews but I was hungry and it was late. Will not return.

The Metropole
Kilkenny
11/06/2025: Horrible. Dirty room, pieces of pasta from a meal always present in the room. Dirty sheets and furniture. The toilet is disgusting, there's even a pot under the toilet drain. When it fills up, it leaks all over the bathroom. Avoid
28/05/2025: The rooms look nothing like the website.
€60 a night, no breakfast.
Smel of smoking Joint and damp.
There is no insulation between the rooms. had no hot water at all, Sink or shower . there is no kettle for coffee, or kitchen to put food in the fridge.
There was no heating in the place. No one at reception to complain to.
Doors are all operated by an app that has to be downloaded to your phone. There is no emergency contact if you have problems with the app.
The only good thing about the place is its location - its right in the centre of town.
Check-in at 16:00 not like writing in Google. I was lucky to get in earlier.
Would not recommend this place at all.

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.
