Loved it. Cozy, great food, great service, caters to both vegetarians and omnivores alike, what's not to love? Clean bathrooms, plentiful seating room, I mean.. I can keep going. They had a great vegetarian full Irish breakfast that was big enough for both my mom and I to share from, and I also picked up one of their freshly baked chocolate-caramel cookies to snack on since there was going to be a lot of walking going on that day. The cookie was sooooo good, I'm slightly drooling right now thinking back on it... Yes, dine here.
Wandering around Kilkenny's Medieval Mile in search of a lunch spot is no easy task. Pubs and restaurants are everywhere. We picked the Fig Tree and were pretty happy with our choice. The dining room is very pretty with blue mosaic tile at the counter, light yellow walls on the first floor, and brick walls upstairs. We ordered a bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon (€7.50) that came with a nice small salad, and a Smoked Salmon and Prawn Salad served with Brown Bread for €11.50. My salad was tremendous- in both size and quality. I couldn't believe how much smoked salmon was on that plate. Coffee and tea were priced right at under €2.50. For a casual lunch in a fun place with a sweet vibe, the Fig Tree was perfect.
Strong lunch option after a day of visiting multiple castles. My wife went BLT and said it was delicious (she didn't get the bread toasted). My son for the Beef Lasagna which was tasty and my DIL got the Caesar Chicken Wrap which she was very pleased with. I got the Pulled Pork Sandwich which I enjoyed. It had a sweeter sauce and a house made dressing that was good. I liked the addition of the crisp lettuce and tomato. I enjoyed the house made dressing they put on the salad (they sell small bottles of it at the register).
Stumbled upon this place while looking for a lunch spot on the streets of Kilkenny and it hit the spot! The staff was super welcoming and our party of 5 was seated right away on the top floor by the window which overlooked the streets. I ordered the Cajun Chicken wrap with chips and it was warm and absolutely delicious blend of flavors. Highly recommend! My friends got the chicken cesar wrap and the beef burger and all were very pleased with the quality and service of this place. The hot chocolate was heartwarming after walking the cold windy streets and definitely a must try at this place. They also offered other espresso drinks from lattes to cappuccinos along with salads, soups and main entrees. This is more of a casual cafe and once you're seated and order you can just pay downstairs at the cashier. They do have a bathroom and offer food to go.
This restaurant fits perfectly in the middle of Kilkenny. They have a very extensive menu for breakfast and lunch with something for everyone. I got the full Irish breakfast as I was really craving some baked beans. Food was speedy to arrive and quite a large portion. My favourite part of the breakfast beside the beans was the bacon. I was able to substitute toast for Irish sweet bread.
After researching places to get breakfast in Kilkenny, we settled on the Fig Tree for our first "Full Irish" in country. I really liked the modern ambiance, and the food itself was solid. It wasn't the "biggest" full Irish I've ever eaten, but I didn't mind that one bit. You still get a bit of all the classic components, but you don't necessarily end up eating 1600 calories at one meal. The full Irish came with two sausage, two rashers, one egg, one white and one black pudding, beans, toast, tomato and your choice of tea or coffee (I chose tea because tea in Ireland is amazing). Price wise, it was on the spendier side of things, but well worth it if you ask me.
Great food. Stopped here for lunch on our way from Dublin to New Ross/Waterford. It has three levels. I had a panini with chips. Also had ice tea which came in a bottle. Service was fast. Bathroom were on the 3rd floor might not be suitable for the elderly with mobility issues. Don't recall a lift (elevator).
Perfect place for coffee and breakfast. I had a mini irish breakfast, including a choice of delicious gluten free bread. My boyfriend had the full irish breakfast, & came very close to finishing it. This was our first time having white pudding & black pudding. It was delicious! He had a rich & foamy cappuccino, I had what I think they call americano coffee, it was regular & very good. They had quite a few gluten free options.

Had a cappuccino and a scone here. Decor is kinda cool. The coffee was mediocre unfortunately. The scone was nice although there was no cream with it like it said on the menu. All in all a nice place with reasonable prices. read more

I've been here twice, the first time I ordered the Irish breakfast, the second time I ordered the bagel with bacon and cream cheese and leek and potato soup. I could say they were all good. If you're looking for a quiet place for a quick bite in town but doesn't like the chipper or fast food chain, the fig tree is the place to go. The place is nice and inviting. Limited menu selection though, as it was more like a cafe than a restaurant. They only served sandwiches and burgers, brunch food mostly. I'd still come back and try their other sandwiches as they all looked really good. read more

I have had the privilege to purchase lunch and beverages multiple times in such a fine establishment. I bought chocolate biscuit cake of the highest quality with my peers, it was exactly what you want a man looks for in an exquisite slice biscuit cake! And, oh my, the hot chocolate, THE HOT CHOCOLATE! The perfect ratio of cream to marshmallows in a mug of the most perfectly crafted chocolate. On the coldest of December days, the warmth of the Fig Tree greets you with its warm embrace and plush comfortable furniture. The extraordinary experience that is a delicious lunch at the Fig Tree will be with my forever. I anticipate and look forward to further indulgences in the luxurious place. read more
