Something to satisfy all tastes on a foodie trip to Kilkenny

Another option for a really enjoyable breakfast, brunch or just a drink is the Mocha Vintage Tea Rooms on Gas House Lane. Mismatched china tea cups, French vintage décor and homemade scones and breads, along with a really interesting loose tea menu which includes Turkish delight and pink grapefruit infusion, are on offer. For a place that doesn’t open in the evening, its stock of champagne and Chateauneuf du Pape would suggest it does a very good lunch trade.

Best irish breakfast in Kilkenny — boards.ie

Tea Rooms is pretty good and have a decent selection for those not into the greasy fry but finding a seat at busy times can be a major pain in the hole. Also the door keeps opening (don't know why they don't confine access to the other one) so you'll get the tits frozen off you to boot as you dine.
