 Café Sol is a simple, square room, perfectly delightful at lunchtime when it is thronged with locals who adore this flavourful, good value cooking. The menu is eclectic but well chosen, a moreish mix of sandwiches, vegetarian dishes such as mediterranean salad with goats cheese, nachos with chilli sauce, salad and cheese, salads such as chicken livers with green lentils, and splendid main dishes such as the lovely Lavistown sausages served with cracking mash and a fine mustard mayonaisse and of course delicious desserts, all homemade. This is the food the girls like: fun to make and easy on the tastebuds and the pocket. In the evening the blinds are drawn and the candles lit and the menu opens out; breast of duck with apple, honey and rosemary, chicken with mozzerella and parma ham, pasta with tomato, chilli and basil, good scallops and fantastic steaks with red wine sauce. Nothing gets in the way of the flavours of the food and this unpretentious cooking is designed to please, to satisfy and it achieves this effortlessly. It's fun food, and the Kilkenny bourgeoisie, and the Kilkenny tourists and the Kilkenny festival set, all love it to bits.
