Kilkenny is well served with good restaurants and there's been a number of new additions in the recent past. The Bridgestone 2008 Guide to the 100 Best Restaurants in Ireland points out that there's "increasingly stiff competition in town these days, notably from the fine cooking in a hip room in Café Sol". Cafe Sol has been in Kilkenny since 1995 and before that in Bennetsbridge. Over the years it has earned a reputation for quality fresh food and is now open 7 nights a week for evening dining. So if you're looking for great food in a hip restaurant in Kilkenny city for your company or departmental Christmas party, just call Café Sol on 056-7764987 to discuss your requirements.
