Petronella is a relaxed & informal neighborhood restaurant - savour local produce, seasonal and delicious - the perfect spot to dine, right in the beating heart of the city.
Located on the medieval Butterslip Lane, Petronella, just like her namesake, has an illustrious past, located in one of Kilkenny's oldest and historic buildings.
Petronella is renowned as one of Kilkenny’s premier dining experiences, but its origins are steeped in a remarkable story. The restaurant pays homage to Petronella, the first woman accused of witchcraft in Ireland and the first woman in Europe to be executed by burning at the stake. When you leave our restaurant, take a few steps around the corner to the site of Kilkenny town hall, where Petronella met her tragic fate.
We look forward to welcoming you, and hope you love Petronella as much as we do.
