Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Had dinner here and had a very enjoyable dining experience. Staff were very attentive and food was reasonably priced and very good quality. I would highly recommend the Goats Cheese starter.....definitely the nicest Goats Cheese dish I've eaten in a long time. My Wife and I also loved the 80s background music, brought back lots of lovely memories. Will definitely dine here again when visiting Kilkenny.

Hello corkref,
Thank you for taking the time to review your enjoyable meal with us.
I have passed on your kind comments on your locally sourced goats cheese to our Head Chef & the supplier concerned.
I'm glad you enjoyed the background music we try to offer something distinctive daily, so not to be repetitive (the 80's playlist is a personal favourite of mine as well!) Let us know what you like next time you visit us, and we will try our hardest to facilitate you.
I'm delighted to see you enjoyed your time with us, and we look forward to welcoming you back again in the near future.
Kind Regards
Dominic Saville

My friends and I came for bottomless brunch. The variety of food choices on offer was great. They had breakfast food choices, chicken wings and salads too. The Ketel one spritz was delicious. It was great that they left orange juice with us so some of us could have mimosas if we wanted and you could put as much orange juice or as little in to the Prosecco as you wanted to. It would have been nice to have the Prosecco straight away from when we came In alongside our spritz. Also some of the girls weren’t drinking and they were also charged 30 euros which we felt was a bit expensive. So it would be nice if they had a cheaper version for those who aren’t drinking.

My friends and I had a lovely time at the bottomless brunch, the Prosecco was flowing and the ketel Spritz cocktails were very refreshing. The food was good but perhaps more variety or unusual dishes to make them stand out from the crowd. The music was great fun and I loved the option of requesting songs via an app, it was a tad loud but we were quite close to the DJ. It’s definitely the perfect hen party activity. Great fun all around.

We had another fantastic experience at La Brasserie Restaurant! The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff who made our dining experience truly enjoyable. The food was nothing short of amazing; each dish was expertly prepared, bursting with flavor and presented with an elegant touch. This was our second visit, and it certainly won't be our last. La Brasserie continues to impress with their delightful ambiance, top-notch service, and consistently delicious cuisine. Looking forward to returning for another delightful dining experience!"

We had a lovely afternoon here today, we had the fish and the bangers and mash. Perfect portion for lunch. Service was impeccable. Two ladies in particular Aga and Lenka were so hospitable and nothing was too much for them. We spent a good two hours here and never felt rushed. Really worth a visit and the chocolate ice cream is fabulous!

We were made feel really welcome in this busy restaurant. The waitress was professional and helpful . The menu had great choices and we were very happy to enjoy the cod and also the hake for our main courses . The desserts were scrumptious- a twist on the old fashioned bread and butter pudding with white chocolate and croissant- this did not disappoint ; plus the pear and almond tart was moist with a delicious whiskey ice cream . Both were well presented and a perfect ending to our meal . Thanks again to our waitress Isolde who took time to chat with us and elevated the whole experience to a higher level .

We ate Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner at the Brasserie for the simple reason that it was excellent. The service and care from Aga was incredible, she went above and beyond to cater to our needs. Each dish was filling and delicious and there was a great variety. A special thank you to Eva and the team in the Hibernian for all their hard work and attention to detail.

I had organised the Brasserie for bottomless Prosecco lunch for my sisters hen party and I honestly could not fault them. Everyone had an amazing time. Food was delicious, the DJ and the music were amazing and really got everyone in the party mood. 100% would recommend. Thanks to everyone for a great day!

I honestly can’t understand the high rating this place has achieved.We were on a hen do and booked the 2:30 Bottomless Brunch slot on Saturday.It was an absolute madhouse with the music sky high. Terrible food ,nasty fizz and watery cocktails.The dining room is a long dark narrow room with no coverings on the tables and shabby chairs.
We left after an hour.If you are considering booking this you absolutely must get one of your party to go along first to check it out.

A pretty good hotel restaurant... without being crazy either!
Overall the cuisine is well executed but it lacks a little “je ne sais quoi” for the taste to be impeccable… and that’s a shame!
The setting is very friendly and calm, the staff really cares.
In short, good but not great.

5 stars all the way. Booked online for breakfast non residents and managed to get a table Monday morning 1st April. From the guy that took us to our table took our orders to the buffet and hot breakfast it was superb. Spotlessly clean and only 12.95 pp. We'll done to all the team very friendly very efficient and overall out experience exceeded all expectations.

Myself and my husband came here for lunch. I got the soup of the day, it was very tasty. My husband had the Caesar salad, it was nice too. Unfortunately it look a long time to come, almost 40 minutes, and all we had was salad and soup! That’s the only downside. The staff and atmosphere were lovely!
