After a night in Dublin we headed to Cork for a few nights. About have way in between Dublin and Cork is Kilkenny. Ireland is full of little towns perfect for strolling, shopping, and cafes that offer a variety of cuisine.

We popped into Rive Gauche for a quick lunch before exploring Kilkenny. Don’t let the French name fool you this pub offers classic Irish dishes. The atmosphere is lively and the decor screams to be admired. The meat pie and fish and chips were delicious! If you have a bit more time to spend pop into the Left Bank for a drink.

After lunch we headed to Kilkenny castle. The castle grounds serve as a public park and it a neat way to observe life in this little town.

Kilkenny has loads of shops and interesting architecture to explore. Here are few neat things I captured during our walk around town.
