My wife and I were excited to hear through the grapevine about a new restaurant opening in Kilkenny that had several vegan options.
We went to Truffle on it's opening day.
The newly refurbished restaurant has a Parisian flair that is very modern and comfortable.
The staff couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating from the moment we walked in until we left. Total attention paid to customers, amazing customer service.
We were shown and explained several vegan options from the menu.
We started with the hummus and beet crisps. They were a great starter for two and very tasty.
My wife ordered the Mediterranean moussaka and was blown away by it. She said she would definitely come back and have the exact same dish again.
I ordered the wild mushroom and truffle risotto and devoured the whole plate. Absolutely delicious.
We then were surprised to hear that there are three separate dessert options for vegans. We cannot find a restaurant in the entirety of Kilkenny that offers vegan desserts, other than fruit or soy ice cream.
We got the dark chocolate tart and the Madagascar panna cotta. Both were decadent and obviously made by someone with a deft hand at pastry. I would come back for the desserts alone, but will be coming back for everything else as well.
This restaurant provides multiple vegan items, from starters to mains.
People who want meat and seafood will not be disappointed by the other offerings. We saw other diners receiving beautiful plates of their food and enjoying it just as much as we enjoyed our vegan fare.
I must reiterate that the staff is not only knowledgeable about food, but clearly passionate about it as well.
Zori and her team have really outdone themselves with this restaurant.
I can see this quickly becoming a must visit for diners in Kilkenny.
We certainly will be back!
Thank you for an amazing vegan meal... i can honestly say it was the best vegan meal i have ever had... its wonderful to walk into a restaurant and be handed a vegan menu and not have to explain ourselves... I had the top class risotto... so creamy and tasty.. i may have to bribe the chef for the recipe! Special thank you to the couple who served us who were extra caring to our excited and happy children.. xx

Had the most wonderful meal in Truffles. The food was artwork on the plate & tasted even better. Wonderful selection including extensive vegetarian menu. Staff were friendly & attentive. Highly recommend, definitely 5 star experience.
Our dining experience at Truffles last night was sublime - this newly opened restaurant is truly exceptional - what a gem for Kilkenny! From the intimate and understatedly elegant atmosphere, to the stellar service and friendliness from the waitstaff and owners, to the imaginative and inspired menu (especially for vegetarians and vegans!), to the beautifully presented plates - a total five stars! And then there is the food -WOW! Perfectly prepared, well balanced and alive with freshness and flavor - what an amazing chef! If you find yourself in Kilkenny, Truffles is not to be missed!
I was attending a private function yesterday. The food was top class, amazing!
Service excellent, with a smile and so professional.
I would recommend this place to anyone who likes good food! Cant wait to return there.
The asmosphere is so romantic, cozy. Love it!
Thank you for super dinner! ���
This restaurant is one of the best if not THE best restaurant we've been to! From the decor to the ambience to the food and wine, it was enjoyable from the minute we stepped in. Cannot wait to come back and enjoy the magnificent food and see the friendly staff again! Thank you :)
Had a gorgeous lunch here and going again soon for dinner. Very comfortable surroundings and lovely staff, who were most accomodating when I asked for the on-menu saffron risotto with braised beef without the beef. Not an eye was batted, and the risotto I got had been adapted beautifully for my vegetarian tastes with some delicious veg. Very good value and the wines seem especially delicious. A wonderful addition to Kilkenny's dining scene.
I am still dreaming about the beef cheeks risotto. I ate here some weeks ago and couldn't get over the value and choice on the early bird menu. The care and attention everyone received, that I observed, was spot on. A wonderful addition to the restaurants of Kilkenny.
Vegetarian and vegan menu, friendly staff & food was delicious. One of the best restaurants in Kilkenny �
Absolutely fabulous. The decor the service the staff and the food were all top notch. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this restaurant.
My friend Ann and I stumbled upon this lovely restaurant yesterday (Saturday) we had a gorgeous lunch. I had a wonderful beef and risotto dish omg so tasty. My friend had the fish cakes which looked gorgeous.
I would return. And I look forward to my next visit. Staff so lovely and friendly. Love the decor. One other, on the menu, to those who are vegetarian, what wonderful options on their menu. Go and enjoy. I did
Excellent service, beautiful setting and atmosphere. The flavours and quality of the food was the best I have had and the presentation was outstanding. Great choice of menu too.
