Best Restaurants in Kildare: 2019 Edition

Looking for the best places to eat and best restaurants in Kildare?

Earlier this week, the Leinster regional round of the Irish Restaurant Awards were held and here’s who came out on top in Kildare.

Kildare also happened to be the host county with the Killashee House Hotel (a grand place to stay) in Naas hosting the awards ceremony.

Good things continue to happen for TwoCooks, last year’s Best Restaurant in Leinster taking the award for Best Restaurant and Best Chef in Kildare.

If you think somewhere has been overlooked for the best restaurant in Kildare, leave a suggestion in the comments below.
