The Left Bank is a distinctive venue housed in a grand old bank building on The Parade, directly opposite Kilkenny Castle. It offers a cafe-style menu with brunch classics, sandwiches, salads, and good coffee, served in a high-ceilinged, elegant space. The building’s architecture alone makes it a memorable stop.
Having operated for many years, The Left Bank is a well-known spot for a relaxed lunch, especially for those visiting the castle. The spacious interior can accommodate families comfortably, and the menu has plenty of crowd-pleasers like pancakes and burgers. Its prime location and striking setting make it a favourite for a mid-day break.
