About this restaurant

Good for special occasions

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

Delicious Sunday roast, fab foodsbut we felt portions were a bit small for the price. I would love to see a set menu option ex. 2 courses for €30 Sunday roast. Friendly staff, loved the setting and decor but we were initially sat at a table VERY close to a family even though 2 other tables were free. We asked to switch to an alternative 2 seater table that was a little further apart and the staff obliged happily.
