Victorian Castle Kitchen - Kilkenny

We had the misfortune of eating in this cafe and paying €22 for tiny pieces of cake and vit hit drinks. The waitress was nice and the guy was very unfriendly and he forget to give us cutlery and then glasses and also came over and said we owe more as they charge wrong too. I said it was already extremely expensive and he said it is a restaurant and I said I’m aware of restaurant charges but I expect cutlery and glasses and he walked away

Lovely little cafe to visit after a trip around the castle. Great selection of lovely cakes available.

Imagine a very fancy version of the Downton Abbey kitchen beautifully restored in the Castle tower basement, ceilings lit high overhead by windows, antique stove next to comfortable couches from which you could enjoy a selection of Victorian dishes like chicken mushroom ham, beef Guinness and beef cottage pie, or plain ol' soups/salads/sandwiches; as well as café staples (beverages and pastries). Delicious scones? YES. Healthy portions. See my review of Kilkenny Castle for pix of the menus. Great place to kick back after touring the castle.

Perfect freshly made sandwiches, and a wide selection of mouth watering cakes and baked goods we were quite happy to hide away here for a while during some heavy rain!! Staff were welcoming and the setting is quirky definitely somewhere to visit that’s not your average coffee shop!

This place was awesome little tea room under the castle clean, nice little decor in the basement of the castle in what appears to be the kitchen of the castle
