Stonechat in Killarney

We loved Stonechat and were so happy we got to try it out. The food was so great and left everyone satisfied. Our server was wonderful and took great care of us.

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.

Terrific gem on a side street in Killarney. It was my birthday and we got a comfy little private space to enjoy one of the best meals we had in Ireland. But the highlight was meeting a long ago cousin (we don’t know really) Roger who happens to be the owner. It really is a special place - great service great food, don’t miss it!!

We came by chance, while wandering the streets, we found this restaurant in a small alley. Super friendly setting, the meal succulent as much as the dessert was to die for 😋. The waiters and waitresses are all very friendly and the service is efficient. The lamb is excellent and cooked to perfection. Nothing to complain about. If we ever come back to Ireland, we will come back.

Great place to eat traditional Irish food! The staff is also kind and professional. Will definetely come back!

The food at Stonechat is delicious. The lamb dishes are highly recommended. Everyone should be able to find something on the menu. Reservations are recommended. The service is friendly and competent. We only disliked the very dark ambiance. Sometimes you have to use your phone's flashlight to read the menu.

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Killarney Stonechat Restaurant is an absolute treasure. Perfectly located in the heart of Killarney, it’s tucked away down a charming little alleyway — the kind of place you almost don’t want to tell too many people about because it’s such a find. Inside, the restaurant is full of character, with warm, traditional vibes. Every detail feels carefully thought out, creating an intimate, cosy, and beautifully curated atmosphere that makes you want to linger. The food was exceptional — you can truly taste the freshness and high quality of the ingredients. Everything is homemade, offering a wonderful mix of traditional Irish dishes alongside some unique creations. There’s something for every palate here, with gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options available, yet still embracing all the hearty classics. We’ve been coming to Kerry for many years, and discovering Stonechat was such a pleasant surprise — it’s now firmly on our “must visit” list. The chowder and lamb were standouts, easily the best we’ve had in Kerry. If you’re in Killarney, do yourself a favour and visit. This place is special.

Super nice, because we were full, we ate at the counter. The waiter was incredibly attentive, very friendly, and the food was incredibly 😋 delicious. There's nothing you can't find here. Fish soup and stuffed squid tube, incredibly delicious sauce, really great, absolutely worth the money.

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
