The Lime Tree in Kenmare

Really nice restaurant with excellent food.

We were staying in Lansdowne Hotel and the receptionist recommended this Restaurant. It was absolutely excellent from starter right through to the Crepes. We had the Chowder and Prawn Cocktail to start and then the Lamb and Steak and finished with the Crepe and a glass of Port. Honestly it was fantastic and to top it all the staff were excellent and the Chef/Owner then came out and sat with us for a chat so you got a real feel for how it works. If you are in Kenmare or within 100km this restaurant is worth the effort.

This place was cute, warm and mind blowing!!! Starter was Duck Croquettes, Asian slaw, pickled plum and plum sauce. Which was beautiful and main was Duo of Lamb, mini shepherds pie, rack of locally sourced Kerry lamb, confit of garlic, thyme Jus. It was cooked to perfection and exactly what our long journey needed. I would be very happy to come back here.

Went there with my local wife and family. Irish food is so good for a German paladar. High quality service and food

The best place in Kenmare, in my and my wife's opinion. The food was delicious, and the service was great. It has the perfect atmosphere, too.

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.
