Stonechat in Killarney

24/07/2025: Really liked this place. I recommend reserving a table in advance, as it gets busy, but we still managed to get seated on a busy evening. The prices are okay, definitely not the worst we've seen in Killarney. I got the sheperd's pie (for two days in a row, that's how much I liked it), and my boyfriend got the chicken special of the day, which was good, but nothing to write home about. Their sticky toffee pudding is really nice, and can be shared with another person in my opinion. The sun dried tomato spread you get as a complementary starter is amazinh as well. The staff is very nice and accommodating. The only thing I was a bit puzzled by is the speed at which they get the main dishes out. We arrived at the empty restaurant at 4pm and got served our two pies at 4:15. Makes me wonder if they keep them frozen. 🧐

21/07/2025: Be sure to make a reservation in advance, otherwise you'll end up hungry and turned away (day 1). We had a reservation here for day 2. We had a starter (minestrone and goat cheese) and the shepherd's pie for the main course. The soup was great, and the rest was solid. Unfortunately, this was our second shepherd's pie. We found the one in Dublin much better. If we had just chosen the shepherd's pie without a starter, we would have gone hungry. Furthermore, the food was somewhat poorly presented and rustic.
