Kilkenny is now one of Ireland’s leading ‘foodie destinations’, having been named ‘Foodie Destination’ in 2018, the County also hosts an active calendar of food events that take place throughout the year from Savour Kilkenny and Kilkenny Food Trail events.

Commenting on the initiative, Chairperson of Kilkenny Tourism, Ciaran Conroy said; “We are delighted to add ‘Taste Kilkenny Restaurant Week’ to our calendar of events. This is the ideal way to kick off the 2022 season early and showcase our eateries and produce, while offering customers excellent value for money.”

He added; “Taste Kilkenny Restaurant Week will allow visitors to experience even more ways to enjoy Kilkenny and we hope people will plan their winter getaways during that week.
