Lyla's is a very welcome addition to Kilkenny.
For a dining experience that includes first class customer services, attention to detail, an affordable menu that will leave you coming back again topped with the unique and appealing decor, Lyla's can only be accredited to the proprietors and exceptional staff that make it what it is.
We were treated so well.
Overall I thoroughly recommend Lyla's if you're looking for a touch of class, elegance and an unmatchable customer experience.

I had a fabulous experience at Lyla's. The staff were just incredible and so friendly. Especially Nienne the manager who took time to sit with us and chat to us about our experience. My highlight was the mushroom and truffle arancini. I consider myself an arancini connoisseur and these were the best I've ever had! The cocktails looked amazing too. I will definitely be back. A fabulous Friday treat!
Fabulous decor and ambience.
Mushroom and truffle arancini was delicious.
