Nice food items to make a hamper with.
This was a gem of a find, and had everything we needed. However, I was a little taken back by the prices which were on a par with similar stores in Dublin, while not having quite the same level of quality.
What a fantastic food store. Yummy selection of breads, cured meats and pestos.
High level cafe and shop in the village of Gowran with outdoor seating.
Hidden gem, 20 minutes from Kilkenny
This is a divine shop, deli and cafe. There is somehow such a variety of the most delicious and highly prized Irish goods in such a small shop, but it all works and looks great! Everything from Sea Kale to Turkish Delight. And amazing coffee and sambos to go too. If you only have one pit stop in the area make it Glasrai and Goodies. We often have a picnic of their sandwiches and cakes in the abbey across the road. Perfect.
Delicious sandwiches and a nice range of produce. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for some lunch in Gowran!
