Manna Cafe & Bistro in Killarney

13/09/2026: This review is based on my experience of the place, service and food served. It was fully booked so we had to sit outside so the atmosphere of the restaurant is not judged here. The waitress must have been relatively new. She forgot the main course for two people in the party and I never got the spoon I asked for. I had oysters as a starter and halibut as a main course. The oysters were super fresh and the halibut was amazing and it was a really big portion too, really really good!

13/09/2026: My husband and I were visiting Killarney from Boston, and saw the Mad Monk and their fabulous menu while walking around the city. Could not get a reservation for our first night, but got one for the second night. Our waiter Sean was wonderful. We split the local oysters and each had the sea bass with the squid ink risotto. This was an outstanding dish. We eat a lot of fish at home, and this was a dish to remember. The table next to us also ordered it on our recommendation. We had cocktails, wine with dinner. The entree and a lovely side salad. If you are a fish/ seafood lover, make sure to eat at the Mad Monk while in Killarney!
