Cat Laughs at Café Sol

Parliament Street, Kilkenny 1910, taken from
'Kilkenny Its Architecture & History' (Appletree Press)

Somehow, the idea of attending the various Kilkenny summer festivals without being able to have dinner in the delightful Café Sol rather takes the grin off the cat laughs face. But, good news; Eavan and Gail will be open on Friday and Saturday nights during June, July and August, generously responding to demand from their loyal and dedicated customers to please, please let them into that subtle and feminine room. Now, that's worth a true cat laugh. Tel: (056) 64987.
