Great variety of dishes to choose from. Recommended is 3 plates per person which is plenty of food to eat especially if you order sides (Patatas bravas- highly recommended). Staff are friendly and approachable. Live DJ on Saturday nightfor background music but it's not too loud! Great atmosphere in the restaurant, I will definitely be back again !

Kilkenny City

About the restaurant

Welcome to Petronella.

Our charming restaurant, located along the romantic allure of the Butterslip Lane, serves wonderful Irish food with warm and friendly service.

We serve Brunch and Dinner from Tuesday to Saturday or come and try Petronella's famous Sunday Roast.

Located on the medieval Butterslip Lane, Petronella, just like her namesake, has an illustrious past, located in one of Kilkenny's oldest and historic buildings. The restaurant pays homage to Petronella, the first woman accused of witchcraft in Ireland and the first woman in Europe to be executed by burning at the stake, just a few steps from our door.

It’s the place to be in Kilkenny, and we hope you love Petronella, as much as we do
