Serving modern Irish & European cuisine with added style using the finest local ingredients, Anocht offers a unique fine-dining experience in one of Kilkenny’s most beautiful rooms. Built in the 1760s as grain stores for the Earl of Ormonde’s horses, the Kilkenny Design Centre was originally part of a large complex of buildings attached to the castle that housed a dairy, stables, coach houses and accommodation for grooms. Cartwheel windows overlook Kilkenny castle and courtyard while original overhead wooden beams with hanging, linen drops create a unique & sumptuous atmosphere. “…a wonderful atmosphere across from Kilkenny Castle. The food, wines and service are to an impeccable standard – a very worthy winner of Ireland’s Best Casual Dining Restaurant 2016”- Donagh Davern (FIHI)
