Cafe Sol Restaurant is an intimate bistro style restaurant located in the heart of the mediaeval city of Kilkenny, within a few minutes walk of the major Kilkenny City hotels such as The Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel, The Kilkenny Hibernian Hotel, The Kilkenny Rivercourt Hotel, The Kilkenny Inn, The Langton House Hotel, Zuni Townhouse and Hotel Kilkenny.

Our cuisine may be described as contemporary Irish with a Mediterranean influence. We use fresh local produce such as Lavistown sausage and cheese, Kilkenny beef and Carlow free range chicken and eggs. We offer quality food and wine with friendly service in a warm and inviting atmosphere.

By day a bright, colourful bistro, Sol by night takes on a rather different ambience as one of the most intimate restaurants in Kilkenny.

Open for lunch and for evening dinner seven days a week, we run occasional theme nights and regular Wine Tasting Dinners. For events and other news please see our news page. You can contact us here.

The restaurant is available for private hire and can accommodate up to 50 people. We can organise live music for your event; choose from Harp, Jazz Trio, String Quartet and more!
