2Brew Kells
Kells
29/07/2026: Have regularly gotten coffee at 2Brew since it first opened and everytime it has been a welcoming and friendly atmosphere.
The seating available outside provides a great opportunity to enjoy a lovely coffee and watch the world go by.
10/07/2026: Decent coffee, roast is a tad too dark for milk based coffee but certainly doesn't spoil the pallette.

The BOOK MARKet
Kells
14/08/2026: A café with a warm and cozy atmosphere, very friendly and welcoming staff, and delicious food! I recommend it if you're passing through and want to make a quick stop in Kells (a very well-kept village decorated with beautiful flowers!)
14/08/2026: The staff here were so lovely. We visited with our two young kids and our 3-year old son fell apart when he saw that his cheese sandwich had grated red cheddar instead of white cheddar slices, like he's used to. We didn't say anything as it didn't seem like the cafe's problem. But when we were leaving, the staff asked us if we wanted to take the uneaten sandwich away and when I explained the problem, they immediately set about making a new sandwich for my son, exactly as he likes it, free of charge. It saved a stressful lunch, got much-needed food into a little boy's tummy and just left us feeling very well-looked-after.
Oh and the rest of the food was lovely!

Headfort Arms
Kells
12/06/2026: We felt welcomed as soon as we arrived. The staff is amazingly helpful. The ONLY reason we didn't stay longer was because they were fully booked. Food was some of best we had in Ireland. We will definitely stay here when we return to Kells.
10/06/2026: Had afternoon tea here for a friend's birthday. Staff brought out a desert with candles and sang happy birthday and also offered to take photos which was greatly appreciated Food was lovely and service was great, only negative was they did not offer fresh tea and coffee during our visit.
The only parking available on the day was council parking which is not connected to the hotel and the exit out of car park to the front of the hotel had no footpath.

Vanilla Pod
Kells
01/08/2026: We went for dinner on Friday evening (yesterday). The food was good, and the service was amazing! We were treated very well with the two waitresses from the moment we arrived. They found out it was our anniversary and we got a little surprise firework with our dessert, nicely decorated with a congratulations message by chocolate piping around the plate. The early bird portions are large and a glass of wine was icluded that made the price very reasonable. Super great experience, thank you!

The Cook of Kells Carvery
Kells
24/07/2026: The food was decent and the portion was large, so good value for money. There are lots of food options, so if you're with a group it's easy to find something to please everyone. However the space is very loud and overwhelming for anyone with sensory issues.
23/05/2026: Absolutely lovely place , specially the cook of kells cooked food , the meat is cooked to perfection . There are other food stalls in to choose more. Small jewellery in Kells

Kells Kebab & Pizza
Kells
28/04/2026: Very basic food, nothing to talk about, would not return.
20/03/2026: This is hands down the best place around Navan to get a kebab—it’s worth the trip just to grab one! Their kebabs are top-tier in price, portion, and taste. The pizzas are even better than a Pizza Hut-style, but superb. The staff treats you like gold—if you go regularly, they know you and what you love. Super friendly, and the service is an 11 out of 10!

Khyber Garden
Kells
12/08/2026: Absolutely amazing experience! We first stopped here for a takeaway on our way to a glamping stay, and the service was above and beyond. The gentleman helping us was incredibly kind — he kept trying to call around to help us get a taxi and made sure we had everything we needed before we left. Nothing was too much trouble.
We were also really impressed that the whole menu can be made vegan, which gave us so much choice!
We enjoyed it so much that we went back to dine in the next day. It was lovely and peaceful, we got a table straight away, and once again everyone was so friendly, kind and helpful.
And the food was absolutely delicious!
Fantastic food, wonderful service and genuinely lovely people. Would definitely recommend and would happily come back again! :)
29/07/2026: Absolutely loved this place! I visited with my friend from Dublin and we were both so impressed with the food. Everything was delicious, but the Chicken Tikka Masala was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had! 😍
We also had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, who was so friendly, welcoming and genuinely lovely. He made us feel so comfortable and made the whole experience even better.
Highly recommend visiting if you’re in Kells, County Meath - definitely worth a visit! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
