Avenue is located over two floors in the heart of Maynooth. Opened in December 2007 by Robert & Bronagh Kennedy, Avenue now boasts a band of loyal customers, gaining a reputation for excellence and winning countless awards. Avenue has long been recognized for quality, consistency and value, along with the buzz of a busy restaurant and the warmth of our friendly staff… with a “Céad míle fáilte” that comes from the heart.

    Love Avenue, food is always very good but €6.50 for a portion of skinny fries is way too expensive.

    Always a buzzing spot, especially in the bar area. We started with a cocktail before ordering a selection of starters and a bottle of wine, date night sorted
