A good friend and local recommended here so we decided to treat ourselves on the last day of 2025. My husband and I shared the garlic prawn plate with homemade bread at €15 which whilst delicious was small in volume. I ordered the fish of the day (cod at €24) and my husband had the battered fish and chips with mushy peas and tartar sauce at €19.50. Fish was fresh and tasty. Our children had a choice of sausage and chips or battered fish and chips and ordered one of each at €10 each. The only thing I would change would be to add some vegetable to the kid's meal to make it more balanced, healthy and filling. For drinks, we had water for the table, glass of milk (€2), Miwadi (75 cent) and a glass of Horgelus at €9. Overall, very impressed with the quality here. Recommended if in Kilkenny.

Had the most delicious beef here oh my god the beef in the bourguignon simply melts in your mouth. Please do try this dish. Loved every bit of it.for dessert tried the lemon drizzle baked Alaska. I liked how the lemon meringue combined with the frozen ice cream and then the cake simply was delicious. The staff here is great

We had a small Irish breakfast and it was very good! Everything was hot and fresh! Staff was very accommodating! Would highly reccommend! Sorry I forgot to take pictures.

Great breakfast experience. We went early on a Sunday and there were plenty of available tables. Food also came out pretty quickly. Everything tasted great and was well priced.

We enjoyed our brunch very much. The food was excellent and creative, the wait staff pleasant, and the vibe upbeat without being over the top. Recommend wholeheartedly.

Located close to Rothe House & Garden. It had a nice ambience and was well maintained. Food was served hot and fresh, taste was fine and service was quick. Nominal pricing with good portion sizes.

The brunch menu is very varied. It offers the usual full Irish alongside dishes you’d see on any menu in gentrified Clapham, London! We had the veggie option and it was delicious. This restaurant deserves more attention than it gets. American rock music a bit intrusive when we came in first. Otherwise, fab.

They serve good food located centrally in Kilkenny city. They have a display of different interesting artworks all around the restaurant.

Wow! So glad we stopped in for breakfast during our visit to Kilkinney! Fresh & delicious! The meal was so good we stopped back in for tea & dessert later the same day. Can't recommend enough! Exquisite!

We stopped in here for lunch before sightseeing. Yelp has the location incorrect. It is actually on the medieval mile. This is a nice restaurant, but overpriced. We had an open faced ham sandwich with chips. My son had the hamburger. My biggest complaint was the burger was over done and when we asked for ketchup, the waitress brought over a tiny jar. I asked for another and she pointed at the teaspoon of ketchup that she delivered. It was enough for one French fry.....

Incredible spot. Important -- this location is in downtown Kilkenny! The pin on Yelp as of August 2016 is wrong, but the address (Parliament St.) is correct. This is the best meal I've had in Ireland so far. All four of us loved our food. The vegan risotto was one of the most delicious lunches I've ever had. All of FoodWorks' vegetables were on point, simply amazing. Incredibly fresh salad. I'm told the chicken salad, fish, and lamb were all fantastic. Great menu for all tastes. High recommend!

A fantastic restaurant on Parliament Street. The food is creative, tasty, & well portioned. Go for the 2 or 3 course options and the prices are very reasonable. (Easy to pay more for far lesser quality elsewhere in Kilkenny.) We all enjoyed our choices for starters (including ham hock won tons and grilled prawns), mains (gnocchi with squash puree was a hit) and desserts (try the lemon baked Alaska). Really glad we found it... Note: the Yelp pin location is not correct but the street name and address is accurate. Google "foodworks Kilkenny" and you'll get the correct map location.

The fish and chips is amazing!! Minus a .5 star for forgetting the house salad but things happen and the service was great!!

Our afternoon meal here was quite good. -0.5 stars for making mistakes on my order twice, but the food (and dessert!) more than made up for it. Try the chocolate brownie & coffee for dessert. SO very good! The meal was quite nice as well, I had the steak burger, & she had the goat cheese baguette.

Had dinner here with my mate & it was very nice ... The Haddock fish cakes. The woman who served us was very helpful also... went and got me a paper clip to open my iPhone SIM card ! I would recommend it & go back for this alone ! :)
