Café Sol
Noel McCarron, the proprietor, lists the local sources for many of the foods used on the seasonally changing menu. The bold and edgy artwork on the walls, like the food, shows surprising combinations. There are more flavours and elements than you might expect but it all works together in symphonic harmony. Three-course set menus are great value.

Chez Pierre
It's all brightness and yellow skies at this sunny-sweet French café, next to Rothe House. The menu offers an assortment of sandwiches, soups and sweets you can enjoy at timeless, simple wooden tables.
-
Edward Langton's
Langton's is an enormous, snazzy pub with a good restaurant that seems able to seat much of the town. Certainly most everybody's here for Sunday lunch when tipsy blondes totter past gossiping grannies. The food is trad Irish; expect bowls of boiled potatoes and veg to come in never-ending supply.
-
Fléva
Regional ingredients combine for a fusion of global flavours. There's a merry vibe about this somewhat formal (white tablecloths) yet quirky (eclectic local art on the walls) restaurant. Vegetarians will blossom after reading the many choices and anyone who likes wine (you?) will find much to sip.
-
Gourmet Store
In this crowded little deli, takeaway sandwiches are assembled from choice, imported meats and cheeses (plus a few top-notch locals).
-
Kilkenny Design Centre Café
Upstairs from the stylish shops is this equally stylish café. The food is artful, often organic and always healthful (OK, maybe not the sumptuous desserts but who wants healthy?). Breads are baked in-house and go well in sandwiches, with soups and alongside salads. Hot specials are superb.
-
Kyteler's Inn
Dame Alice Kyteler's old house, built in 1224, is one of the tourist magnets in town. The Dame had four husbands, all of whom died in suspicious circumstances. Having acquired some powerful enemies, she was charged with witchcraft in 1323. The food is pub-standard (the menu boasts a 'healthy' option: baked potato filled with baked beans), but tourists of all ages whoop it up in the dungeon-like basement.
-
Lacken House
In the gracious guesthouse on the same name, this candlelit intimate dining room is one of the most romantic spots in town. Foods are sourced locally and are organic when possible. Preparations are traditional with modern, creative touches. The wine list is long.
-
Lautrec's Brasserie
The name should clue you right in, this is a lovely little romantic French bistro. Hold hands at the tiny tables in the tiny dining room and partake of the wine selections. Mains range from delicate pizzas to seafood to continental classics.
-
Marble City Bar
This stylishly mod bar manages to stand out. Usual bar standards like sausage & mash and fish & chips are elevated above the norm through the use of excellent ingredients. A lower-level café facing St Kieran's St has breakfasts, coffees and outdoor tables.

Pordylos
You'll feel you've slipped into a French country home as you enter from shadowy Butter Slip. The seafood comes from Dunmore East and the excellent meats are sourced locally. Good French vintages soon loosen the spirits and you'll feel in the midst of a highly successful dinner party.
-
The Pantry
Break soda bread (well at least butter it up) and sip a range of coffees at this old-fashioned bakery and tearoom. Those filling, hot meals of your youth are here ready and waiting.
