"This was my first Michelin star experience, a treat from my wife during a visit to Kilkenny to mark my birthday. We came for the early bird menu, an exceptionally reasonably priced €45 per head (the full a la carte being a still very good €75). It’s an experience I look forward to repeating! The staff were friendly, the restaurant open and unpretentious and the food was sublime. Make a point of coming here if you’re visiting the city."

"Beautiful French inspired food in a lovely setting. Drove down from Dublin and it was an exquisite end to the day."

"What can I say? This experience was one of a kind. The wine list was reasonably priced and they provided help when we asked what would pair with our meals. The homemade sourdough bread to start with warm butter was a great touch. Our lovely starters, lobster ravioli and rabbit gnocchi, were absolutely full of flavour and plated expertly. The flavours were perfectly complimented and it was one of the best starters I've had ever. For mains, we got fillet of beef and rump of lamb. Both cooked exactly how we asked and the sides were complimentary in terms of size and taste. Special shoutout to the mushroom oyster pie that came with the fillet of beef, absolutely spectacular. For desert, we had the chocolate mousse and raspberry souffle (I asked for ice cream on the side). Both were warm and freshly prepared. The mousse was exquisite while the raspberry had sharp and fresh flavours. Overall, most definitely deserving of their Michelin star and I will be returning here again before the end of the year!"

"From the bread to the wine, everything was delicious. My first Michelin experience and Hopefully not my last. I had the scallops, seabass and the best dessert Ive ever tasted,the chocolate mousse. Ive literally been daydreaming about the caramel sauce for days. My friends all enjoyed what they ordered (the deconstructed beef pie and the the ravioli) and they also said their souffle was the best , most luxurious dessert theyve ever eaten. Though out my budget usually,as a treat,this is 100% worth it. Highly recommend a visit if youre a foodie."
