le hard to find but worth the effort. This restaurant was up an alley and not readily apparent. Once we found it, the service, food and atmosphere was fantastic. I had the lunch special, chicken sandwich, chips and salad and my wife had the loaded...baked potato and they both were good. The chicken sandwich was incredibly good. Don't moss this gem.More

We will return ASAP.More

Excellent meal, thanks to Frank and all the staff. We sampled the early bird and we're not disappointed. Beautiful starters, mains, and desserts. Enjoyed the brie and hake, both delicious. Lovely atmosphere in a charming old building. Staff were all very friendly.

We found Petronella by looking here on trip advisor. We were lucky to be able to get a table at short notice but we were very glad we did! The manager is super friendly host and the food is excellent.. We would not hestitate to...visit again, or recommend to anyone visiting Kilkenny.More

Absolutely fabulous. Great staff and food. We booked a couple of weeks ago. A visit is a must, if you are in Kilkenny.

What a great restaurant in historic Kilkenny. It's a small location but the quality of the food is only surpassed by Frank. We had some American guests with us, who loved how Frank interrupted eating to thank all the people in the restaurant for coming....Great foodMore

Fantastic group birthday dinner for my husband’s 50th. Delicious food, excellent service, great atmosphere. A perfect evening. Thanks to Frank and the wait staff for making this a really special occasion

From the minute we walked in it was amazing the gentleman that owns the restaurant makes you feel at home straight away… talking about the history of the restaurant name Petronella and general talk about where we come from etc… Then the food arrived it...was so good we were back in Kilkenny we booked the restaurant again I’m still dreaming about going back some day it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had from presentation to taste and ambiance of the restaurant it’s definitely a must to visit if you get a booking…More

Great hospitality for locals and tourists alike. The vegetarian options are some of the best in town and I often order them myself (as a non V) as they are so delicious. Highly recommend the brie starter!

Limited menu but good food. Restaurant feels like you walk back in time. Good lunch stop. Have allergy friendly options.

Wonderful good, warm and friendly service. Daughter had pasta, I had fish, along with soup and dessert. Seemed like most of the other patrons were locals. That says a lot. Highly recommend.

Food, service and ambiance perfect. Highly recommend. Their early bird special is a fabulous deal. Would highly recommend.
