Had a quick dinner here after a walk in the nearby Castletown Park. Family-vibe restaurant with a…read moremenu consisting of Italian dishes and a variety of Irish beef steaks. Both the owner and the waitress were friendly and attentive. Went straight to entree and ordered the veal Pizzaiola, a sauce consisting of tomatoes, chopped garlic, and oregano. It also came with vegetables (broccoli and cauliflower) and potatoes (ordered grilled garlic potatoes). Regrettably the veal was too dry even for two thin pieces, the texture tasted a bit like jerky. However, the pizza sauce was well made, packed with garlic and oregano flavor, and had rich, buttery, refreshing tomato dices. Could stomach the veal with the sauce. The vegetables were nicely done, especially the cauliflower temperature was spot-on. The potatoes were even better, skin fried to a crisp while the texture remained creamy. Also had a combo of three flavors of ice cream for dessert. The flavor overall was good, not overly sweet. Overall: 3-3.5 stars. Had to say the star of the dish, the veal, was disappointing. Surprisingly the sauce, the veggies, and the potatoes were great, and the ice cream was fine.

The server, manager, and owner were all attentive and encouraged us to take our time. They also thanked us for coming in on such a gloomy night. Our table was next to one of the windows. There was a lit candle on our table and fresh flowers on the windowsill, which made for a cozy feel as we watched the rain pouring outside. I ordered the carbonara with cream. It was delicious, but I liked my sister's pasta primavera better for its flavor. This is a lovely spot for date night or treating visiting friends.

I recommend ordering the fillet of beef with bearnaise sauce and chunky chips followed by the sticky toffee pudding. Exquisite!

Wow. What a meal…read more Just two weeks old, and already a well-oiled (and extremely tasty) machine. Usually when you visit a restaurant that's so new, there are lots of chinks that need ironing out, processes that need tweaking, menus that aren't quuuite spot on yet. Not so in Canteen. You could be forgiven to assume it had been there for years. The staff and management have clearly taken the best bits from their old Blackrock haunt, and added to them for the new Celbridge abode. From beginning to end, everything about the meal was perfect. - The piping hot just out of the oven bread and soft butter landed on the table as soon as we came in - The exquisite amuse bouche that followed straight after - The menu which strikes the perfect balance between modern Irish & French cuisine - not too fussy and not too plain. In fact we had a few fussy eaters on our table, and everyone without exception demolished everything put in front of them. A testiment indeed to the fresh ingrediants and clever combinations. - The decadent truffles that completed the experience! Now, a special mention to the star of the show. The Crème brûlée. Mother. Of. Deserts. Hands down the best crème brûlée I've ever had. The richest, most dense & velvetty caramel. Wow. I'm still thinking about it. The interior is slick - painted in a grey and blue pallet, with massive floor to ceiling windows, minimalist lighting and contemporary art, it's got a serene feel, and manages to thread the line successfully between sophistication and quirkiness. The staff were on point - friendly, efficient and knowledgable. Then there's the price. If you count the bread, amuse bouche, three courses and the truffles at the end, you're essentially getting a five course meal for 38 euro. Incredible value. With wine, 55 euro. Worth every cent. This is the type of place that Celbridge has been crying out for. They're going to do exceptionally well. More power to them.

The food is unreal.... My pics do not do it justice . Cooked to absolute perfection.... I hadnt had duck egg since my granny's house years ago and it just brough back some great memories. The beef.... Mouthwatering, amazing flavour! I also got a choc desert. Whopper! Tasted a spoonful of my mates Creme brûlée and sweet holy Jesus . Drooooool! The staff were attentive and lovely. Oh and have I mentioned it's finished off with complementary choc truffles. And even better..... The price..... My entire meal including 3 glasses of wine plus tip was only 55 euro! Well done guys.... I'll Defo be back

Too bad my wife is in the States and not able to join me on the trip.

The trick of course is not to order the wine. At €22 per bottle of mediocre red house wine, that really pushes up the final bill. Last year the early bird menu included a free bottle of wine between two. Will know better next time but will definitely be back. Brought the missus here for anniversary dinner yet again and delighted to find it has lost none of its class or charm. The main event is the food. Beautifully cooked by the new head chef, it is so far beyond what I could cook at home, it shows the difference between a professional and an amateur. We started with the smoked haddock balls and a cajun chicken salad, absolutely scrummy and very filling. An important tip is not to eat the beautiful bread and butter they bring cos you won't have any tummy room left, so take care, you have been warned. We both had duck in plum sauce for mains and it was simply delicious. It was tough to eat the full sticky toffee pudding and the belgian chocolate mousse deserts but hey! we hung in there and managed it. Coffees were drunk slowly with the last of the wine. We had a lovely meal in super surroundings and would highly recommend it to everybody. Just be a little careful of the cost of the wine. Total cost of the meal for two including a pint of lager came to €71 ex. tip. Would give it full five stars but would caution against the unexpectedly high cost of the house wine. God knows what the more expensive wines cost!

There was a smoked salmon quiche and another type of quiche also, a pasta option and sandwich options too. I went for the plain-sounding panini, not sure of what to choose. The friendly waitress offered me relish or pesto on the side, I went for relish. A taste explosion. The bread was fresh and wholesome, the salad dressing zingy and fresh, the relish spicy and warming, the combination of the food together, a tastebud treat. I didn't sample any of the amazing-smelling croissants, pain au chocolat and brownies, as it is lent (self-torture, wha?!!) so I will be going back in 45 days to sample the tasties!
