After the exertions of shopping or sightseeing, our award winning restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy a well deserved freshly brewed coffee and home made scone, or to plan a leisurely lunch.  Overlooking the cobbled courtyard of historic Kilkenny Castle, the restaurant is a relaxing and inspiring space to indulge in our delicious, freshly made hot and cold menu options.

Once you’ve savoured the seafood chowder with home-made soda bread, or sampled our speciality chicken and broccoli crumble made with local award winning Lavistown cheese, we defy you not to try one of our selection of fantastic desserts – a real favourite with our regulars!  A glass of chilled white wine will complete the experience.   

All our food is prepared freshly each day in our own kitchens by our committed team of chefs.  We pride ourselves on the quality and variety of our food and we are constantly asked by our customers for recipes.  We’ve added some of the most requested recipes, which we hope you will enjoy cooking and eating. 

Our Castleyard Cafe is now open and is the ideal place for a healthy breakfast, a light lunch or sumptuous supper. Find out more on our blog post.
 

One of Ireland’s most respected food writers Georgina Campbell  deemed our food “worth travelling for”.  We hope you’ll take her advice and look forward to welcoming you.
