Stonechat in Killarney

We went to the stonechat for my mother's 95 birthday ......highly recommend,the food was amazing..fresh and presented perfectly....great service very kind staff......nice cosy atmosphere.....the best place in Killarney without a doubt

Absolutely top notch. I met Charlotte and Dermot tonight and was astounded at both their sheer capabilities and charisma. They couldn't steer me wrong .. one delicious bite after the next. Unbelabable. I said, hey I don't think I'd like that but they were like "trust me" and I did. Grapefruit? Delicious. They're all good friends in there and you can tell by vibes. Great atmosphere. The banoffie pie was the best dessert I've ever had. I almost got a second one but thankfully a very thoughtful woman said "maybe two desserts is enough". She was right.

This is a nice hidden restaurant in an alley way just off the main strip. The dinner was excellent and atmosphere is quite interesting. We had the Prawns and Bruschetta as starters and shared the 10oz Sirloin with Baked Potato. The only concern was that we asked for some toppings for the potato when the food was delivered. One of the servers said he would get it, but never returned. Other than that, our experience was great.

From the moment I stepped through the doors, I knew this restaurant was something special. The interior design is absolutely stunning — a perfect balance of modern elegance and cozy warmth. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated, from the ambient lighting and tasteful decor to the comfortable seating that invites you to relax and stay awhile. It’s the kind of space that instantly sets the mood for an exceptional dining experience. The food is nothing short of extraordinary. Each dish bursts with fresh, vibrant flavors that reflect true culinary craftsmanship. Every bite felt like a carefully composed symphony — balanced, creative, and beautifully presented. I had the seafood Chowder to start and Lamb-shank for mains the quality and taste were impeccable. Equally impressive was the warm and attentive service. The staff made us feel genuinely welcome, anticipating our needs without being intrusive. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered thoughtful recommendations that enhanced the entire experience. Their warmth created a sense of hospitality that elevated the evening even further. This restaurant is more than just a place to eat — it’s an experience to savor, With its incredible design, exceptional food, and heartfelt service, it truly sets the standard for us when it comes to the perfect dining experience. I can’t wait to return and recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a memorable meal. Thank you Rog (owner and chef) and to all the wonderful staff. You will be missed!

Great place, fantastic food and they are willing to change the way you want it.

If you eat anywhere on your trip, make it here. The shepherd’s pie was absolute perfection, comfort food at its finest. Easily the best meal we’ve had on our entire trip. Cozy atmosphere, amazing staff, fair prices… this place is a true hidden gem that deserves all the love. Don’t miss it!

I would give more stars if I could! A very cozy atmosphere, excellent food, great service, and good drinks—we would come back in a heartbeat!

Rarely... Rarely you find a place where all puzzle pieces fall together. Great food, great service, great music not too loud, not too quiet.. music that brings us back to our wild years. In a quiet street away from the busy main street. We love it.

Exceptional. Last time I was in the Stonechat restaurant was exactly 10 years ago I enjoyed it that much it was my first port of call this time . The food was absolutely fantastic as usual it never disappoints . The staff couldn’t do enough to help , Viola was a really friendly girl who took time to chat and nothing was too much bother for her . We even got to meet Roger the owner of the Stonechat for the past 25 years a credit to him and his staff . Thanks again and we can’t wait to come back . So if you’re in Killarney don’t miss out on great food and a lovely friendly welcome and great food at the Stonechat .

Great place for a meal, food was lovely. Fab staff, good music and service! Thanks for a great evening. Would recommend 10/10
