Top choice in Kilkenny City


The owners of this cool and casual bistro keep their own pigs and grow their own salad leaves, so it would be churlish not to try their pork loin stuffed with black pudding, or pressed pig's trotter – and you'll be glad you did. Delicious food, excellent coffee and friendly service make this a justifiably popular venue; it's best to book a table.

Its excellent kids' menu (mains €7 to €9.50) includes grilled cod and chips, stone-baked pizzas, and local sausages with gravy and mash.
