Artisanal Bakery and Bistro
Artisanal Bakery and Bistro in the heart of Kilkenny city. The Bistro serves delicious brunches and dinners made from seasonal local produce, showcasing their house-made stone baked breads made with natural Irish ingredient. The Bakery & Deli offers take-away house-made sourdough, sweet and savoury pastries and coffee.
All of our breads are stone-baked daily in our bread oven and contain nothing but salt, water, flour and natural leaven or a fresh yeast culture. No preservatives. no chemicals. just nature. All our flours are grown and milled by our friends at The Little Mill built on the River Nore in Bennettsbridge Co. Kilkenny. We work closely with local producers from Kilkenny, Carlow and beyond. Because we are big believers and advocates of seasonality and local produce, our menus are like the weather - they can change from day-to-day.
For brunch, we work on a walk-in basis - tables are first come, first served - but if you have any special needs, a larger group or would like to sit in the dog-friendly area give us a shout and we'll try and accommodate you.
Dinner reservations can be made on our website. If you have a large group, please don't hesitate to contact us.
We are dog friendly.
