At Butcher we are passionate about our beef and are proud to say most of our meat used is locally sourced from from trusted local producers and is 100% Irish.
About Us
Our owner, Mark Williams, is a 6th generation beef farmer at Summerhill Farm. He has been supplying beef to top restaurants around Ireland since the 1990's and was inspired to open a restaurant, serving the best of Irish beef.
Butcher opened its doors in August 2018 and since then has become the home of delicious steaks and comfort food, as well as a range of carefully selected cocktails.
It is located in the historical Butterslip lane in the heart of Kilkenny City, overlooking busy shoppers on St. Kieran’ street.
Awarded the Best Newcomer 2019 Irish Restaurant Award as well as Yes Chef Newcomer of the Year 2020, Butcher is also the home of the Most Creative Burger Build 2019.
