looking for a restaurant in the kildare (newbridge/kildare/naas) area that can hold a family event at lunchtime (saturday), which does some pretty nice grub?
I would thoroughly recommend the Ballymore Inn in Ballymore Eustace. (It's approx. 11km from Naas). They open for lunch on Saturdays, but I would strongly suggest booking rather than arriving on spec. Particularly with a group.
Georgina Campbell reviews it here. I have no connection with the Ballymore Inn other than I enjoy eating there regularly!!
Other options in Naas would include The Storehouse, or Lemongrass, both of which are also very good.
