Excellent Menu, Food and Service. Absolutely faultless.

E. W.

Had Sunday lunch here - food was delicious, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Well spaced tables re covid guidelines.

B. M.

My review will end up in a vast mountain of well earned 5 star reviews here. Had the most perfect meal! The service team were so friendly, helpful and where so knowledgeable about each dish. I was so impressed!

c. o.

Had the Sunday lunch menu.. unbelievable. Had a deep fried pig trotter meat dish for starter, it was excellent. Beef short ribs for mains which was outstanding.

C. H.

Great food. Friendly helpful staff. Very pleasant surroundings. Can't ask for anything more!

T. C.

Amazing food and atmosphere. Was lovely to go back after years amazing well worth the trip!! X

O. W.

We found Campagne outstanding and exceeded our fairly high expectations. There was nothing they could have improved on - the service was excellent, the food was sublime and the value for money for the €45 early bird menu was fantastic. Also from a COVID perspective, they were really diligent checking certs, ensuring protocol was adhered too but without making it seem onerous. We will definitely be back next time we are in Kilkenny.

Y. T.

Food was delicious, attentive service, the hostess took our coats at the door, chose a nice window seat and the server helped us pick our wine and choose our mains. 0.5 stars was deducted for the bread. The other 0.5 was for my duck which could have been better pink.

N. H.

Great spot. Early bird menu at €40 excellent. A la carte just €60. Very good quality and an excellent price point.

b. c.

Excellent 5star restaurant, which received a Michelin star a few years ago. Beautifully appointed and comfortable, staff are friendly, food is delicious. It is expensive but worth it for a special treat.

K. A.

Second time eating here and I have to say the food just keeps getting better. Couldn't fault the food or the service. Top quality restaurant and will definitely be back for a 3rd time, eventually ☺️

P. M.

Amazing place food was delicious and the service was impeccable. I'm not a fan of dessert but the pear ice-cream ....the chef deserves canonisation for. I'd highly recommend

M. I.

Delighted to enjoy a meal in Campagne again - if anything it was better than we remembered. Excellent staff, delicious food and great buzz. Looking forward to our next visit already!

L. D.

Very good especially the dessert courses. One star off for the lobster starter. Pasta was very chewy and shell in the filling. Otherwise top class

G. T.

Very tasty and interesting 3 course dinner menu with impeccable table service.

S. L.

Campagne is a ten star experience ...just book a table and enjoy! Fab food wonderful service just perfect

B. B.

Beautiful food, wonderful service and a gorgeous atmosphere. Will go again.

c. v.

Fantastic food as always, service was suburb, sometimes I only think the main portions are a little big, but enjoyed every bite!

C. M.

Wonderful!!! Good service, lovely ambiance, and the food on the tasting menu was delicious and innovative without being unrecognizable. Portions are ample enough that you don't leave "MichelinStarving"! Do NOT skip dessert. If you are in the area you should absolutely go for a meal.

T. M.

Good food. Good volume.

O. H. B. I.

An incredible fine dining experience in Kilkenny that has been getting rave reviews for some time. Free up a weekend and get down to this great city for some of the most amazing food you'll eat in Ireland.

P. E. C. H.

Fantastic from start to finish. A real taste of France.

C. X.

Excellent atmospheres, flavours and presentations.

g. c.

Never fails to impress... Amazing!!!

E. M.

Mind blowing food and service amazing

P. G.

Modern, spacious but welcoming place with friendly staff. Seems to have a vegetarian menu, but most of the dishes include parmesan, so be careful. Nonetheless, veggie meal I got was delicious and high praise at the table for the duck.

R. B.

Great food, reasonable price

C. P.

The restaurant was full, which is a testament to it in the midst of the pandemic. The price is reasonable for the quality evident in the menu. Food was wonderful and made up somewhat for lack of atmosphere despite the crowd. That said, to get out, put on a dress and eat wonderful food is a joy.

J. L.

Great food. Fantastic experience.

S. N. R.

The food here is simply top class a meal that will stay long in your memory. The restaurant decor & ambiance is SO relaxing and the service is silver service 5star with genuine Irish warmth. Glad to finally get to taste the wonderful cooking ofChef Garrett & his team. So look forward to returning Thank you Brid for an amazing evening.

D. R.

The food is just absolutely amazing from the beginning till the end. I have shared the 3 courses with my wife and everything was so tasty.

D. O.

Highly recommended to me and now I recommend it highly to you. Food that is locally sourced and made with great care and attention to flavour and detail. Excellent service and in a lovely restaurant. I had Sunday lunch and look forward to returning some time soon for an evening experience.

T. K.

Very good but deserts from main overpriced at €12 and €18

G. M.

Three course set menu €35 a bargain to be devoured

F. T.

Great service and menu

A. D.

Wonderful food and very friendly, unobtrusive service. Excellent value. Highly recommended.

H. R.

Beautiful food and experience but shockingly overpriced

F. O.

Lovely food and service

A. M.

Campagne is a foodie paradise. Wonderful food & wine. Attentive service. Early bird menu is decently priced & varied. For a special occasion it hits the spot. It is the best restaurant in Lilkenny

L. G.

Absolutely fantastic meal and value. I consider myself a fairly good amateur cook and I was properly depressed after this meal at Campagne having to go back to my day to day cooking 😊

L. Q.

Amazing food , early bird 40 euro ahead for 3 courses, one of the best meal I've ever had

O. V.

Such a gem! food is just delicious, delicious, delicious! well deserved Michelin star! and we were surprised at the prices! 24 euro for 2 course meal, 29 for a 3 courses not that much for a restaurant wit a STAR! very well spend money and had a great evening! Kind staff member helped us because we didn't have a booking despite they were booked out on Saturday! We would not doubt to go there again, but we were travelling all the way down from Dublin. Staff superb trained! would highly recommend!

J. F.

Accommodated me as a walk as i was on my own (as i was in town on a course) even though they had a booking an hour later they still gave me a table and knocked out a superb meal in that hour! ‘Early’ Bird goes to 9pm on a Friday (which is pretty awesome), reasonably priced great food. Friendly atmosphere and Interesting wine list. Don’t have a bad word to say but plenty of good Would 100% go back but with some company the next time!

j. w.

Visited here on a recommendation and went for the early bird menu. Excellent, appropriately attentive staff, lovely venue and ambiance...but the food...WOW. Amazing! A real culinary treat at a very reasonable price for the quality of what we had. Highly recommend you eat here. Will definitely be returning

M. A.

Good quality cuisine. Not very sophisticated but tasty. Very good service. Normal waiting time not too much as in some other Michelin rated restaurants.

J. C.

Amazing food and service visited here 2 weeks ago and couldnt fault. No pictures as I banned myself from taking my phone out

D. M.

We are blessed to have a restaurant of this calibre on our doorstep in Kilkenny. Garret's respect for flavour and his down-to-earth cooking allows this place to give you a true, restorative experience. Strongly recommended.

M. F.

Absolutely fab restaurant, chef amazing! Lovely atmosphere and will be back again! Recommend if you enjoy fine food

M. N.

Have been to Campagne many times since it opened in 2008. The food has never been good here it has always been GREAT. Great front of house and great waiting staff. Having tried many and varied menus Over the years I have never been disappointed, a truly outstanding restaurant .Well done to Gareth and crew. Looking forward to my next visit soon

D. B.

Absolutely Wonderful - from start to finish. Terrific staff - wonderful food. Absolutely top class. Pity Kilkenny is not closer to Dublin !!

D. H.

Perfection. Love that they make Michelin dining accessible and affordable. Service and food absolutely top notch. No complaints.

J. L.

Probably the finest meal we have ever had. The service was exceptional. Will be returning as soon as possible.

E. P.

Fantastic dinner, they catered for vegans with no issue and no reduction in the quality and taste. Wine was exquisite and service impeccable. Will definitely return and recommended to others.

A. R.

Excellent. Food very varied and cooked to order to perfection. For an upper class restaurant prices affordable. Would do definitely recommend

M. M.

This Michelin starred restaurants early bird three course dinner menu was priced well below what most other michelin starred places charge. The atmosphere was quiet and sophisticated.

P. B.

Went for the early bird meal at 5:30 and it was perfect. The food was superb; wine outstanding (tried to buy a bottle at a local store later, but had no luck). Pig trotters appetizer was AMAZING! Don't miss it if you are in Kilkenny.

L. G.

Just wow. Had incredible dinner and all the courses were unique but delicious and impeccably presented. We were a group of 8 accompanied by 2 infants and staff was very accommodating and attentive. Would definitely return if I lived there.

F. H.

Stunningly good food as usual....lots of seasonal game options to choose from at this time of year. Would highly recommend to anyone who likes to indulge in fine dining.

S. F.

I've loved Campagne for years! Bríd, Garrett and all the team are top class. So lucky to have Campagne nearby. The Veggie menu is wonderful too!

R. Z.

Don’t know it’s a Michelin star restaurant. The fillet of beef I ordered it’s alright. But not special or surprising. The fish my wife ordered was too salty. The service is average compare to other restaurants in kk. No one asks if everything is ok and mainly I am disappointed. Kk has so many decent restaurants much better than this one.

A. B.

Great food in a lovely atmosphere. Very pleasant staff .

L. D. O.

Campagne is an excellent restaurant with very fine food and service. Expect high quality and memorable dinner experience.

Very comfortable setting, fantastic menu for vegetarians, great wine list, but the food here is the star; it is so, so good. One of the best restaurants I have ever eaten in. A jewel in Kilkenny’s crown!

P. M.

Well run Restaurant. Great food. Excellent service . Definitely worth a visit.

R. D.

First visit after many years away, missing every opportunity simply due to limited time on returns to Kilkenny. This time I made sure I made it down, and it was well worth the visit. Timeless classics, presentation and combinations. Incredible to have food at this level in Kilkenny.

J. M.

Very good

K. H.

A brilliant restaurant - so happy to be back

K. V.

Lunch in Campagne is an excellent way to try a michelin starred restaurant on a shoe string budget. Fantastic value.

M. J.

Incredible food and service as always. We went during a quiet lunch service and they were so accomadating with our toddler and baby

T. M.

Just ok. Given the high rating expected a little more. Not bad but just didn't blow my socks off

D. M.

The food here will wow you! One of the best restaurants we have visited and the service is brilliant. Very quiet select restaurant. The food is expensive so try to catch the early bird menu if you can!

N. M.

Have just visited Campagne Restaurant and had a scrumptious meal. The staff were so friendly and cannot compliment them all despite having a very out of date Voucher. What a pity out of date vouchers are not honoured in the same manner as Campagne - I will certainly spread the news of our lovely experience in this lovely restaurant.

L. K.

One of the most disappointing meals I've had in years. Had high expectations given the reviews and the multiple years of Michelin recognition. In the end, what we had was a decent meal. Not terrible by any means but ultimately underwhelming. Not in the same class as many of its Michelin star or Michelin Bib counterparts in the country. The most disappointing was the strawberry tart dessert. The biscuit base was little better than that from a frozen packet, topped with some strawberries and a strawberry curd. The ravioli starter was very al dente, borderline chewy, and not that flavoursome. The mains were good but not great. Vastly preferred Ristorante Rinuccini with it's simple, flavourful dishes.

J. R.

Food amazing really good value early bird.

A. C.

L. H.

A. W.

Absolutely lovely meal. I recommend to all looking for a quiet evening.

G.

Not bad - not great. Waiters didnt know who ordered what - fish bone and langostine shell in starter - 4.50 for what looked like frozen chips - which are not included on the set menu mains - the langostine lasagne starter was ok but you wouldnt go back to have it again - steak was fine but again nothing you wouldnt expect from most half decent restaurants - dessert was by far the best course. Maybe it was the price and the star - you expect it to be really good. Wine was good but for the price etc etc.

j. c.

Great food and service.

A. d.

Excellent staff Food beautiful

D. O.

I arrived with high hopes, but still aware that I didn't belong, like when Shrek took over as King of Far Far Away in Shrek 3. I ordered the 'Beef Cheeks', completely unaware of the mistake I had just made. It wasn't terrible, but if I made it myself, I'd be pretty disappointed, if my mother made it, I'd have her put down. As the average patron would scan across the assortment of cutlery evenly layed out, and just pick the biggest fork to use; this place has all the needless pompous frills of that scene in Shrek 2 when Shrek had dinner with the royal family of the kingdom. I guess it's not the food that you pay for, it's the spectacle; so if your ideal evening is reliving the colonial dream by having an adorable tanned man with an accent reluctantly cater to your every need, then taking out a second mortgage might be worth it.

S. F.

Fantastic food service and friendly atmosphere Always come here whenever I'm in Kilkenny .Reservation recommended.

Staff were great, went out of their way to help my young son. My dinner was excellent bar the duck which was overdone.

Campagne is really an *outstanding* restaurant. I can't give it anything but 5 stars. It is absolutely amazing that they have a Michelin, considering how difficult it is to get one (and considering how traditional the judges are :) ?) But they totally deserve it. Let me tell you why... I was on a day trip to Kilkenny and decided to give it a try. It was one of the best decision I took that day :) We went for the 3 course meal with wine. The starters were amazing. My SO had the Guinea fowl sausage with lentils. The sausage was good, but the lentils were delicious, with a perfect seasoning. Lentils can be a little dull, but there it was a pleasure for the palate. I took the Celeriac mousse, which can sound a little boring too... But was incredible. There were so many different tastes in this plate, with the hazelnut dressing perfectly balancing the acid and sweet taste of the pickled ear. The celeriac mousse and chutney were very interesting (and delicious). For now, perfect performance, Campagne! The dishes arrived quickly after, with a colloquial and very nice waitress. We shared the roast cod and the pork belly. Spoiler: both were a success. The pork belly was tasty, perfectly grilled. The plate was absolutely beautiful, and as good for the mouth as it was for the eyes. What was the best in this dish was the jus, which gave an incredible taste to everything, including the cabage. The roast cod was outstanding. Not only it was beautiful, but the piece of cud was huge and everything in this dish worked perfectly. The different tastes replied one to another. I'm usually not a fan of cauliflower, but I couldn't stop myself from eating the whole plate. The lobster bisque emulsion and cauliflower purée were perfect with the cod... All this with fresh food and skilled cooking, what else? The wine was exceptionally cheap and good (as a froggy wine lover!) We had the Mont d'Or, and it passed the test of filling our 2-month good-cheese craving. Creamy, tasty, decadent... Yummy! The dessert was also of high level. The chestnut ice cream was crazy good. The opera was nice but slightly lacked this layered feeling I love so much. However, I would lie if I didn't say that it was really good. The best surprise was the bill, which was of 32€ for the 3 course menu, and 9€ for 2 glasses of wine. Long live Campagne! Thank you for this delish experience... I'm already planning to come back!

(Translated) Just outside the center we find a modern restaurant in a new building - we have not come across that often in Ireland - with a standard Irish kitchen, but then brought superior. Such as the lobster in the form of a queen snack. (Original) Even buiten het centrum vinden we in een nieuwbouw een modern ingericht restaurant - zijn we nog niet zo vaak tegen gekomen in Ierland - met een standaard Ierse keuken, maar dan wel superieur gebracht. Zoals de kreeft in de vorm van een koninginnenhapje.

(Translated) The restaurant is very nice and the dishes are very rich. But it does not become dazzling, what one would expect for the price and the michellin star. Super professional, excellent attention. The place is modern, nice. We ate well, but I expected to blow my head, which did not happen. (Original) El restaurante es muy lindo y los platos son muy ricos. Pero no llega a ser deslumbrante, lo que uno esperaría por el precio y la estrella michellin. La atención súper profesional, excelente. El lugar es moderno, agradable. Comimos bien, pero esperaba que me vuele la cabeza, cosa que no sucedió.

(Translated) It's a French-based Michelin-guided one-star restaurant in Kilkenny. Had an early bird menu for 35 euros per person, haha. There was also an oyster with cauliflower puree and caviar as a seasonal appetizer menu. (Original) 킬케니에 있는 프렌치 베이스의 미쉘린 가이드 원스타 레스토랑이예요. 얼리 버드 메뉴로 1인 35유로에 맛있게 먹었습니다 ㅎㅎ 제철 에피타이저 메뉴로 콜리플라워 퓌레 및 캐비어 곁들인 굴도 있었는데 아주 좋았어요 ㅎ

(Translated) A very good restaurant which combines the best of French gastronomy and Irish products, with efficient and friendly service, one of the best addresses in Kilkenny (Original) Un très bon restaurant qui combine le meilleur de la gastronomie française et des produits irlandais, avec un service efficace et chaleureux, l’une des meilleures adresses à Kilkenny
