Reviewed this last year, and I dined there twice in the last three weeks....Lucky me....Just had to state that the chef Garrett Byrne was awarded "The Best Chef in Ireland" title by The Restaurant Association of Ireland this week, and Campagne was awarded "Best in Leinster" title....well deserved in my opinion....Is further comment superflous? No because when you have a... More

I really expected something... special... And I have to say staff are very friendly and proffesionall and seem quite relaxed which is always nice to see. The rest... The interior was very poor. You sit elbow to elbow with people beside you, the space between tables is so limited that there is no privacy at all. I can't imagine being... More

Campagne is quite a funky little restaurant that we had booked from home, but many people had recommended it on our travels as well. The female maître d’ was efficient, friendly and attentive, as were all of her staff. The décor was soft moss green and cream, and the S-shaped bench/booth seating worked very well – providing intimacy and economy... More

Recently had a tasting menu in Campagne which was superb. Fresh sourdough bread is excellent. Flavour combinations are excellent, I had the comeragh lamb with wild garlic which i highly recommend. Our server Shirley couldn't have been more attentive and friendly. I have dined in Campagne on numerous occasions and it is not just the best restaurant in Kilkenny but... More

My wife and I recently sampled the early bird in Campagne and we were both delighted with the choice of menu, the variety of food, the wonderful tastes of each individual item and the very attentive service. Kilkenny is lucky to have a restaurant of this calibre. I particularly like the fact that although it was early bird the menu... More

Main course was very good as well. - I was rather suprised to see that come people... More
