The hill just above us is the kernel from which Kilkenny as we know it today grew. When you strip time right back, it's the town's true centre. Now that's something that inspires us. Simplicity and originality. Taste it in our food and enjoy it in our atm

Four of us were in Kilkenny for the weekend and we ate brunch & lunch here on Saturday & Sunday. The Food was fabulous & generous portions (try the Classic Club). Timea and the other staff were really efficient & friendly. Had to sneak back later for a Lemon Meringue Pie & coffee. Will be back again in the Autumn!! Thank You.

I was lucky enough to win a 3 course dinner for two on facebook.I was looking forward to it and I wasnt disappointed.Lovely selection from the new menu at Harpers.It was a Saturday night and they were very busy but we were seated quickly and received our drinks promptly.The ambience is lovely there and the lighting is perfect.The staff were very welcoming.I opted for the trout& caviar starter and my partner had the soup.The latter was substantial and delicious.The trout starter was gorgeous.My only criticism is because it is quite small some sort of carbs should be added whether a slice or brown bread or sourdough would perfect the dish. I had the pork wrapped in serano ham with cider cream for the main and my partner the hereford beef.The two mains were so delicious.I rarely eat pork but it was so soft.For desert I had a peanut brittle parfait and caramelised banana dish.I would return for that alone.Scrumptious.Throughout the meal all staff were very friendly and accommodating.A lovely night and a thank you to Harpers.Dear Guest Thank you for taking the time to post such a fantastic review on TripAdvisor following your recent visit to Harper's.We are delighted you enjoyed your meal and we look forward to welcoming you back soon.Best wishes James Gleeson General Manager
