A True Taste of Kildare

Dine at The Keadeen

Where Flavour Meets Familiarity in the Heart of Kildare

We have been setting tables in Newbridge for over 50 years and we still believe a great meal begins with a warm welcome. We serve refined Irish cuisine across three unique venues, each rooted in the land and styled for the moment. Whether it’s golden hour celebrations on our garden terrace, long lunches at Saddlers, dinner by candlelight in The Bay Leaf, afternoon tea in The Atrium, or race day rituals just minutes from The Curragh. This is where Kildare gathers to eat well, celebrate together, and linger longer.
