The Courtyard Bar and Grill

A relaxed, family-friendly place, with menus mainly reflecting the needs of daytime diners and plenty of outside tables.
Seats 90. Shopping centre hours Mon-Wed & Sat 9am-6pm, Thurs & Fri 9am-9pm, Sun 12pm-6pm. abbreviations

Easy to spot with its smart bright blue canopies and standard bay trees flanking plate glass doors, well known chef David Rouse’s inviting modern restaurant is set in the historic covered Work House Square of the Kilkenny MacDonagh Junction shopping complex and has plenty of outside tables where you can sit and enjoy the buzz.


The restaurant is spacious and stylishly fitted out and it is a very relaxed, family-friendly place, with menus mainly reflecting the needs of daytime diners.


Working within the shopping centre hours is perhaps a limiting factor at night time but, while the menu may seem a little safe, this restaurant has the potential to be a classy evening venue.
