Avenue is located over two floors in the heart of Maynooth. Opened in December 2007 by Robert & Bronagh Kennedy, Avenue now boasts a band of loyal customers, gaining a reputation for excellence and winning countless awards. Avenue has long been recognized for quality, consistency and value, along with the buzz of a busy restaurant and the warmth of our friendly staff… with a “Céad míle fáilte” that comes from the heart. Our customers continue to enjoy our great Irish food and that’s because we have a local, natural and honest approach with an easy-going warm style that is both rooted in tradition and yet still modern. Whether it’s our famous chicken wings, chowder, burgers or our renowned Steaks and fish, Avenue always delivers.

We offer the complete dining experience and now serve brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 11am. Avenue combines luxury, privacy & comfort. With our inspired chefs & our warm & welcoming staff we will turn your day or night into one you will always remember

Myself & my wife chose the Early Bird Menu as part of my Birthday celebration. My soup starter was fine but the bread was neither ‘homemade’ nor fresh…imo. I chose the Feather Blade Beef which wax good but the broccoli stems were anything but tender…practically raw. The desert was delicious (profiteroles) and came free in recognition of my birthday. Overall the dining experience was good.
