Lady Helen - Kilkenny

Absolutely fantastic! We did the 7 course cheese wine pairing. Variety of delicious food, perfect portions, spaced well apart. Service was phenomenal. Would absolutely recommend. Great experience.

We recently enjoyed our second fantastic dinner in Kilkenny, following a visit to Campagne the night before. The Lady Helen provided a delicious contrast, with a tasting menu that was double the price but truly exceptional. The seven courses, paired with wine, were top-notch in terms of quality, featuring outstanding cooking and ingredients. The menu was so impressive that it felt more like a two-star experience than a one-star. Unlike other tasting menus where some courses may be lacking, each dish at The Lady Helen was full of flavor and expertly prepared. We had a delightful evening, thanks to the wonderful restaurant team.

Expensive, but so worth it. We had the 9 course tasting menu with paired wines. The food was excellent and the pairings meant we tried wines we wouldn’t otherwise have tried. The staff were attentive and everything came at a good pace. The enthusiasm of the Sommelier was incredible, knowledgable and happy to share his knowledge.

Expensive but worth it, lovely view of the courtryside, very high quality food and excellent service. Really a pleasure.

Atmosphere of a nursing home. Lovely wine. Veal was fab. Pudding lovely. Foie gras was inedible. Very nice bread.
