Bodega 25 Cafe - Kilkenny

That was a jewel! Great menu at very affordable prices. The best seafood stew we toured in Ireland in two weeks. Very friendly and attentive service. This place should be full every night it was really excellent.

For our first dinner in Ireland we landed at Bodega, a bit of hardship and shortly after the closing time due to baggage problems in Dublin. Ahmed near Bodega opened the door when we knocked, opened the kitchen for a few things when he heard that we were hungry, and even helped us find our Airbnb. We were thrilled by his kindness, but the real bonus was in how amazing the food was! We had the stew and fish and chips and it was amazing! A perfect experience!

We had a great time in Bodega. The food was excellent and very tasty and artistically presented. Ahmed was professional, friendly and very attentive. Overall, the price with the surrounding restaurants was quite competitive and you have quality food and service. Definitely recommend.

Pros: Ahmed, our waiter, was very helpful and friendly. He was very hard to make our stand as pleasant as possible. Cons: the food. We ordered 2 burgers in large size. The Patty was max. Average size, there was no sauce at all... a tiny little cheese slice for 15€. Sad... they had not yet found any aromas like pepper or salt. In summary, no recommenation at all. The men's rooms were very dirty. No soap....

Food flavor 5/5 Service 5/5 My main gripe is the price specifically the price of the ice cream dessert, they charged us €7.50 for a plain plate with three scoops of bog standard ice cream. No sauce, no wafer, no biscuit nothing extra. Could probably buy two of their catering tubs for the same price. Brought it to the attention of the staff and all i got was a half hearted thanks while they took my money. Left a pretty bad taste in an overall good meal
