Victorian Castle Kitchen - Kilkenny

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

Visited Kilkenny castle today and had light lunch in the castle tea rooms. Nice surroundings in the Victorian kitchen and a fantastic selection of really tasty cakes. Probably about choice of 20 all fresh and moist and delicious looking. Also offered sandwiches, jacket potatoes, toasties, quiches and salads. Our group had some sandwiches and also rocky road, chocolate brownie, chocolate slice and lemon Madeira yummy!

Popped in recently for coffee and cake with grandchildren and we all thoroughly enjoyed it ! Lovely cozy atmosphere, great coffee and exceptional service !! Will be back.
