Lots of vegan options, both on the brunch menu and also the set dinner menu.
Small and intimate setting.
It's an open kitchen so the skill level is high and apparent.
Excellent use of locally grown and sourced products. There is even some foraged produce on the ingredient list.

Vegetarian & vegan choicesBrunch
New and exciting vegetarian focused restaurant in Kilkenny. Make no mistake, this is not a restaurant for vegetarians, this is a food lovers restaurant, that is coming from an avid meat eater. Serving incredibly unique and creative dishes using locally sourced and foraged ingredients. The food is truly fantastic I can't recommend it enough. The staff are very kind and welcoming also. This place is a must visit no matter what dietary requirements you have with plenty of gluten free and vegan options also. 10/10 I can't wait to go back.
The food was so so good. So full of flavour, really impressive.
We were a late walk-in at 9.20pm and they took us straight in! The chefs popped down and chatted, great to meet you both - nice touch guys.
My boyfriend isn’t vegan/vegetarian he was super impressed. We are gonna head back Saturday for the brunch.
Wishing you guys well with your new business venture, I will definitely come back to Kilkenny again for future staycations just to visit Higgs Field Restaurant!
