Sacre Coeur in Sneem

The Reality Check: Sacre Coeur Restaurant Review Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Let’s talk about the elephant in the room: the price. I see people moaning about the cost of a meal here, but let’s look at the actual math of living in Ireland in 2026. The average house price is hitting half a million Euro. The average wage is stuck around €16 an hour. If you think a chef—a skilled professional—is going to cook you a high-quality meal for pocket change when their own costs are upwards of €20–€30 per household head, you’re living in a fantasy land. The Lowdown: The Food: It’s incredible. Fresh fish, crab claws that actually taste like the ocean, and portions that don't leave you hungry. This is a family-run gem, not a factory. The Vibe: Proper traditional Irish hospitality. Cosy, warm, and authentic. The Price Tag: Expect to pay €50–€60 per person for a full experience. The Verdict: Ireland is not a cheap country. Quality costs money. If you can’t afford to pay for the talent in the kitchen and the atmosphere of a place like Sacre Coeur, you have two very simple options: Get a job that pays better. Go to McDonald’s. The Euro Saver menu exists for a reason and it suits some people just fine. But if you want a real dinner in a gorgeous village like Sneem, stop complaining and pay the price for the quality you're getting. If you don't like it, go elsewhere. For the rest of us who appreciate great food—this place is a must-visit.

Don't know why but just didn't expect something like this in a small vilage! Amaizing

We did the fantastic Ring of Kerry and then arrived at this restaurant. Good food and tasty beers. Nice place and good service.

Beautiful food, been living in sneem six months and first time trying. Three people with starters and mains. Only negative was scampi would have liked crispy just a small bit too soft. Service was great, staff friendly and attentive. Definitely will be returning.

What a gem of a find this restaurant is! A gorgeous family run establishment in Sneem town, which I dined at with a group of friends on Saturday evening. This is such a cosy traditional family restaurant with a lovely Irish feel. The food is AMAZING! There is a huge selection on the menu including fish, meat and vegetarian options. I had crab claws to start ( need to also mention how fresh and soft the brown bread was!!) and the scallop mornay for main - it was divine! The scallops were so fresh and tender. Some of the party I dined with had fresh fish form the menu and just wow! The origin was huge and so fresh! The protons generally was so generous and the vegetables and potatoes that accompany the mains were plentiful. Particular mention to the delicious carrot mash!😍 even though I was so full I couldn’t resist a coole swan affogato to finish!! The staff were so friendly and checked many times on our table to see how everything was and if we needed anything more etc I would absolutely recommend this restaurant for anyone travelling to or through the area and I cannot wait to come back again soon!

Had the most wonderful night here, excellent food and service. Highly recommend.

They accommodated us at short notice and the team were very friendly. The food was excellent and we would recommend this restaurant
