What User doesn't like about Victorian Castle Kitchen:
We had the misfortune of eating in this cafe and paying €22 for tiny pieces of cake and vit hit drinks. The waitress was nice and the guy was very unfriendly and he forget to give us cutlery and then glasses and also came over and said we owe more as they charge wrong too. I said it was already extremely expensive and he said it is a restaurant and I said I’m aware of restaurant charges but I expect cutlery and glass... View all feedback. What User likes about Victorian Castle Kitchen:
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! View all feedback.

Enjoy a unique dining experience in the elegantly restored Original Kitchen at Kilkenny Castle. While some found the prices a bit high, the fresh sandwiches, wide selection of cakes, and cozy atmosphere received praise. The outdoor cafe offers a lovely setting with helpful staff, great coffee, and stunning views of the castle. Visitors can expect a quirky ambiance, delicious scones, and generous portions. Whether you opt for the Victorian dishes or cafe staples, this is a great spot to unwind after exploring the castle grounds. Overall, a delightful place to grab a bite and relax.

I had a great experience at this restaurant with fantastic service and delicious pastries. The only downside is that I wish they were open for longer hours.
