Restaurants near St Patrick's Cathedral Thurles

I recently visited Mimosa, and it was an excellent experience overall. The food was exceptional, with every dish crafted to perfection and full of flavor. The ambience was relaxed and inviting, striking a perfect balance between comfort and style. The service was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and professional. The only small downside was the background music, which was slightly louder than ideal and made conversations a bit tricky at times. Still, the fantastic food and laid-back vibe more than made up for it. I’d definitely recommend it for a casual yet elevated dining experience.

As far as restaurants go in Kilkenny. Petronella has jumped right up to the top of my list. Welcoming staff, great food, great history and great vibes had with the restaurant. Selection is minimal but well varied. Drinks selection is also minimal but caters for everybody. There are not a huge amount of seats so it is recommended to book in advance.

Had a lovely evening out with cocktails and tapas. Would definitely recommend the beef sliders snd nachos, we also had delicious patas bravas and the crispy chicken was nice but the hot sauce was very hot for us. Drinks were good and we were well minded throughout the night!

Visited recently, nice and homely environment. Staff were polite and very welcoming and helpful. The food was delicious and fairly priced.

All lovely, really enjoyed our stay and close to the train station.
