The Lime Tree in Kenmare

Just spent two weeks in Ireland from America and went with two other couples. This was by far and away the girls favorite meal. Food/service/atmosphere were great, but expect to open up your wallet. The scallops were fantastic.

The food was excellent and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was pleasant. The only complaint was the attention to detail, which was too informal. For the price—almost €50 per person—one would expect more attention to detail.

Overpriced for what it is. My partner is gluten intolerant and to receive the heel of the bread is a bit spicy for paying 65 for 3 courses. Half the desert was inedible due to what it seemed was too much time in the microwave. We were sitting in the corner which also has open access to upstairs. There was no music playing downstairs but it was upstairs so it would make you feel as if you were on a cruise ship. Some of the food was nice but definitely not value for money in comparison to what we have experienced elsewhere in Kenmare

Flavour is excellent, service prompt, and the presentation of the dishes was clearly very thought through. Reviews and menu photos here are a bit misleading, note that it is now €55 for a two course meal and €60 something for a three course. BUT IT IS WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!!! Also for gluten free people, the menu is varied and seems pretty accomodating. Most restaurants don't have as many options as this one. The gluten free desserts were a highlight. Brought group of 8 so here is the group ratings on assortment of dishes: ~ Starters Calamari : 7/10 pretty good, somewhat chewy but taste was good and batter just grand Chicken wings: 8/10 would recommend for people who like very sweet sauce on chicken wings Duck briquette: 8/10 one of the better ones we've tasted ~ Mains Lamb duo: 10/10 definitely the most enjoyed by everyone, cottage pie was incredibly tasteful and the lamb was cooked to perfection Chicken supreme: 9/10 also very delicious, portion size a bit on the smaller size but with a starter before it's perfect Steaks: 7/10 they were quite sinewy, a bit unsalted, but with the pepper sauce over it was just right so be sure to put the sauce on for a better taste ~ Desserts Sticky toffee pudding: 12/10, not only gluten free but absolutely delicious Brownie: 10/10 very rich and chocolatey ~Children's meals Penne pasta: 9/10 according to a ten year old, the sauce and cheese came seperate so kids can customise to their taste Chicken goujons with chips: 7/10 according to 8 year old Overall good experience and would absolutely recommend for a special occasion!

Lucky to get a table on short notice. The tables were set nicely & food was well plated. Unfortunately the servers were spread too thin that night. Service was a bit slow and based on the atmosphere it seemed they should remember who ordered what; but food delivery was a bit mixed up within our family. We noticed we were seated upstairs with other families of young children while a large group of adults was boisterous with their “adult” conversation.

Excellent Dinner, beautiful place! Many thanks!

An outstanding Restaurant for couples or families, we ate here and had such a great time. The owner Michael is an absolute gent, and his team were excellent also, and really made you feel welcome. The food gets a 10/10 as does the experience & atmosphere. Thanks Michael & Team. We hope to see you again very soon. David & Sharmeen

Stopped in last night. Absolutely the highlight of our 10 days in Kerry. Not only is the restaurant itself adorable and charming with candles and flowers and charming stone cottage but the staff were incredible and so serve e focused- Katrina was excellent and the food was incredible. Truly a special evening. Thank you to the entire team at Lime Tree. I also have an allergy and they were so accommodating which I really appreciate!

The moment you walk down the driveway and see the fairy lights twinkling and the candlelight glowing , you know you’re in for a real treat. The atmosphere is cheerful , the staff so welcoming and friendly, the food is superb. I know there are many very good restaurants in Kenmare and sometimes it feels like there is TOO much choice. But having been to the Lime Tree I can honestly say that it’s the pick of the bunch. The atmosphere, the lovely staff , the quality and the presentation of the food are second to none. Eating here is a memorable experience. They’ve managed to tick all the boxes , and I love the fact that it’s owned and run by a family all working together as a team to make your night special. I cannot wait to go back.

Espectacular. Las palabras no le hacen justicia. Alojamiento de nuestro perro de servicio y alergias y DELICIOSO! Usted deseará tener un estómago más grande para probar más del menú.
