Neighbourhood Naas – Michelin-Recommended Modern Cuisine in Kildare

Neighbourhood Naas – Where Bold Irish Cooking Meets Feel-Good Glamour

In the heart of Naas, Co. Kildare, Neighbourhood has carved out a reputation as a destination for those who want more from a meal. The restaurant describes itself as a “curated escape” – a chic, design-led space where the lighting is low, the music is right, and every bite carries intention.

The kitchen focuses on bold, flavour-driven modern cuisine built on the finest Irish ingredients. Dishes are seasonal and ingredient-led, with a wood-fired grill playing a central role. The Irish Times has praised Dublin Bay prawns “kissed by the wood-fired grill, topped with lardo, and served with a delicate aioli of prawn head juices and chicken fat.” Sides, according to another critic, are “leagues ahead of the afterthoughts that pass for sides in so many restaurants.”

The menu changes regularly, but the approach is consistent: elevated Irish cooking that feels both indulgent and effortless. Alongside the à la carte, Neighbourhood runs dedicated steak nights, a weekend brunch club, and a Sunday roast that has become a local institution.

Neighbourhood has been recognised by the Michelin Guide every year since opening, and it was voted Best Restaurant of the Year 2023. The wine list, which won Best Wine Experience 2024, is carefully curated to complement the cooking.

The team works directly with Irish producers, prioritising sustainability and seasonality. From local farmers to artisan suppliers, every ingredient is sourced with integrity. The restaurant also works with eco-conscious suppliers to reduce waste and support a greener food industry.

Located just 30 minutes from Dublin on Naas’s North Main Street, Neighbourhood is open for lunch and dinner Wednesday through Sunday. It is available for private events and parties, and the space is wheelchair accessible.
