Kilkenny Design Centre


Situated in what was once the stables and dairy of Kilkenny Castle - and overlooking the craft courtyard - this deservedly popular first floor self-service restaurant is situated above temptations of a different sort, on display in the famous craft shop. Wholesome and consistently delicious fare begins with breakfast for guests staying at Butler House (see entry), as well as non-resident visitors.


This Kilkenny restaurants well-designed to allow attractive and accessible display of wonderful food, all freshly prepared every day: home baking is a strong point, and there is plenty of hot food to choose from as - well seafood chowder with home-made soda bread, for example, and beef & pepper casserole with button mushrooms or a speciality chicken & broccoli crumble with local Lavistown cheese.


The lovely crumbly Lavistown cheese is also used in great salads, which are always colourful and full of life - fresh beetroot, asparagus, spinach, red onion, coriander & Lavistown, for example, combine to make a salad worth travelling for, and the selection changes all the time.


A short carefully chosen wine list offers seven wines by the bottle or half bottles, and gourmet coffees and herbal teas are offered.


Very reasonably priced too - well worth a visit.
