going to stay in Kilkenny for a 2 night break and want to know of any nice places to eat out in both during the day (with a toddler) and at night.
 
re

Try Rafter Dempseys pub for daytime lunches. Although its a pub, unless there's a match on telly you should be ok. Plus i think they have high chairs for toddlers...
Scrummy chicken roll things with chips - yum yum!
Enjoy Kilkenny!

Pordylos is very nice for evening dinner. I'm not sure if they open for lunch. It would be best to book.

Re: Nice places to eat in Kilkenny

Is Pordylos the place upstairs, just beside a stone alcove or archway? If so, the food was great when we ate there (a couple of years back). It was the only guacamole I've ever found in a restaurant that tastes as good as my home-made stuff.
 
Re: Nice places to eat in Kilkenny

The food is nice in Pordylos but we found it very expensive, starters and desserts average at 8.50 and main courses are around the 25 mark ... but maybe some people won't consider that too expensive!
 
Expensive?

I would consider that quite expensive but maybe as a treat. this is for our anniversary so maybe its worth is to splash out!
 
Kilkenny

Langton's is also nice, and child friendly too if I remember correctly
 
Re: Nice places to eat in Kilkenny

I'd recommend Zuni, in the hotel of the same name. I can't remember how much it was, though.
 
Re: Nice places to eat in Kilkenny

I thought Zuni was very expensive.
I ended up just going to the restaurant in the Hibernian (a few doors dwon from Zuni) and I was very happly with it.

Café Sol is also quite nice.

Rainyday: yes that is the one!

Re: Nice places to eat in Kilkenny

Rainyday recalls cafe sol? there a joke in there somewhere.
I know what rain looks like
what does the sol look like. Such a long long time.
 
Re: Nice places to eat in Kilkenny

Hi Joey - The sol is splitting the trees here in Dublin today - Make the most of it this weekend ;)

Hi,

Zuni is very good, its also made it into the Top 20 Irish restuarants in the Aer Lingus Inflight Publication.

I felt the prices were not that expensive, in comparison to many Dublin restuarants & the place is always busy, which speaks for itself.

Food was excellent.

Bar in Hibernian Hotel for a late night drink on the way back down to the bridge btw ;)

Hi Fobs

I guess you will have to have a rethink about your trip to Kilkenny.

You will have to spend 4 nights there instead of 2 to enable you to carry out a control test on behalf of AAM on the eateries nominated by posters: Pordylos, Langtons, Zuni and the Hibernian.

We will also, of course, expect a full report on your return! :)

Bon appetit

Re: waterford restaraunts

Hi Marion - Did a return visit to Kilkenny last weekend to find that Pordylos was NOT the restaurant I was thinking of & praising. My good experience was in Fleva restaurant on High St.
