Kingdom 1795 in Killorglin

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.

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!

Excellent food & great service.

Went two years ago and have been meaning to write a review! This was the best dinning experience! Me and girlfriends went on an Ireland trip and stumbled upon this restaurant on accident. What a happy accident! Whenever someone asks me the best thing I ever ate I always tell them about this night. The owners were lovely and the food was divine. I’ve also never seen a nicer restaurant bathroom. Everything is so thoughtful and I had the best time.

My husband and I and two friends had the early bird menu. We were seated at 5:30 by very pleasant friendly staff. The food was outstanding. The service was outstanding. The atmosphere was outstanding. The decor was perfect. The toilets were spotless .I would highly recommend the early bird menu, Ragu to start pork belly for main course. As I am a non-drinker, I was very impressed by a range of 00 alcohol beers Guinness wine. A wonderful experience we will definitely be back thanks to everyone for the very nice service and excellent food

Top notch up market restaurant. Great friendly efficient service. Fabulous food albeit relatively small but adequate portions. Pleasant experience worthy of repeating.

This restaurant exceeded our all expectations. Elegant place with nice atmoshere. Location in the city center. Serving staff was kind and helful, helped us to choose a meal and explained all ingrediences. But the most important thing in this place is FOOD! The flavor was exquisite and the presentation was beautiful. Every meal is made of local product of high quality. This was such a great choice for us therefore I suggest everyone who visit Kerry area to give yourself this pleasure.
