So glad we came across this little treasure in the back blocks of Kilkenny! Best meal in our two weeks in Ireland and top service by the whole team! Recommended to try the Irish coffee, and definitely not disappointed! Dessert was amazing and main course too!Would definitely come back tomorrow but they are closed on Monday.

Love stopping at Mannion’s on our Sunday spins. Food is always fab all the kids love it and service and atmosphere always good but was left disappointed again on Sunday evening due to lack of choice on menu have stopped in before and always seem to miss out on the beef..its on the actual menu we are given but never actually on the menu!Had to go elsewhere as between us we just couldn’t pick from the few items available.

Visited while traveling through the area with my mother. Very nice staff whom we chatted with and they were very helpful with directions in the area. The ham and cheese sandwiches were excellent as was the beer. The type of place I wish I had in my hometown. Thank you so much for your lovely message.

We visited after we left the Festival of Ideas in Borris House. The bar area was fully booked but we accommodated in the restaurant instead. We were able to order from the bar menu though. Excellent food - the fish and chips were particularly good. Lovely staff also

When in the area we always make a point of stopping off here in Mullichain Café as there's such lovely food, friendly staff & a really nice atmosphere. Everything is freshly prepared & well presented, salads & open sandwiches are excellent, cakes & pastries are really good too! It's in a great location if you happen to be down by the river, but it's somewhat hidden from the road. Better signage would seem the obvious, however, it's always busy so people seem to locate it easily enough. Well done & we hope they continue to do well.Hi Guys Many thanks for a lovely review it warms the heart ♥ We have a great gang of young people working with us that make it all happen. Signage we have given up trying to get proper signage so now we just put up our post code R95XY93 Best wishes Martin Emer and Mark and all the lads and lassies

Boats Cafe and Bakery

Locally run cafe and bakery, overlooking the picturesque River Barrow. Excellent walking, cycling, kayaking and boating on our doorstep. Weekly changing menu including excellent sandwiches, soups and homemade baking.

Reviewed By Korleen

We cycled down the River Barrow one Sunday, finishing in Graiguenamanagh. Boats Cafe was a welcome sight. Freshly painted on the outside with some cute outdoor seats. The menu had some tasty treats, salads, soups... one of those menus that you want to try everything! And that's what I did :) I ordered a sandwich and sides salad with the chowder. Oh. My. God. The chowder. It was divine. Thick and creamy with plenty of fresh fish. If you're to have nothing else, you'll walk away a very satisfied customer. Staff were attentive and super friendly. All in all a little gem of a cafe!

Stopped in for lunch with my family. There was a limited lunch menu. We all opted for soup. There were two options: lentil and vegetable or tomato and basil. We all had lentil and vegetable which tasted really nice and wholesome. It was served with brown bread which was lovely also. The setting was nice. I would return.

Reviewed By briancQ6189CQ

Good choice of about four main course specials for lunch, but they also had sandwiches, soup, panini etc.The food was very tasty and good quantities. Staff friendly and atmosphere was relaxed. It still felt like eating in a pub (because it was) but overall it was a great lunch after a long day walking.

An amazing restaurant, fabulous local food cooked brilliantly. Very fresh , great flavors paired with lovely wine I thoroughly recommend this beautiful restaurant, take a walk along the barrow and enjoy the food , a great day out Decor s very nice . Morgan and Steven do an amazing job with very few staff , it slows service a bit but just relax and you won’t be disappointed. Barrows Keep is one of our favorite restaurants and I highly recommend it
