Francie Sheahan's Bar in Killorglin

20/03/2026: This restaurant gets so much right- it makes it a great destination to plan a break around. The evil genius that is the chef, who can dream up perfectly balanced combinations that you can still recollect weeks after, keeps on delivering. I had a quail sausage with a a Cooleeny cheese & shitake mushroom fritter, that was by far the best starter I’ve ever had.

02/03/2026: UPDATED 2026: We returned for our 3rd visit--first time under the new management and we had another exceptional dining experience. Lovely front of house service and delicious and beautifully presented food. We enjoyed the Waygu and tenderloin entree very much and also the monkfish. The ravioli appetizer was gorgeous and incredible as was the venison one with a lovely parsley "couronne". Desserts were excellent particularly the chestnut mousse. While we missed the previous chef's sourdough bread the bread and crackers with mushroom mousse and seaweed butter were very good. We will be back! PREVIOUS REVIEW We had an absolutely divine dinner at Kingdom 1795 last night. The food was beautifully presented, original and each bite sheer pleasure. We were actually nearly speechless during courses we were savoring each bite so carefully. Original combinations (such as scallops with broth of pork belly and peas) which worked incredibly well with balanced flavors that made each ingredient shine. I loved my turbot with violet artichoke, shitake and sea lettuce with a beautiful delicate sauce. My husband loved his beef tartare and lamb. The desserts--rhubarb choux with burnt meringue and cheesecake ice cream as well as the caramelized custard, fried dough and herb sugar (zesty lime and perhaps thyme on a bed of cream) were incredible and beautiful to look at. And the BREAD--a gorgeous sourdough and brown bread were the best we have had. In addition Suzi and servers were all so nice and helpful (hard to choose with so many enticing menu choices) and the restaurant is a beautiful relaxing space. We can't wait to be back!
