The best restaurants in Blarney

12/06/2025: After kissing the Blarney Stone, my family and I worked up quite the appetite. Luckily the Muskerry Arms Bar was only down the street. Parking can be a bit tight since it's near a tourist attraction, and the traffic is always busy, so be aware. I was a little worried the food would be on the more bland side as I had experienced in other restaurants, but the food was absolutely delicious! It had all the right flavors and tasted like good home cooking. The beef stew was SO good and would be perfect for a cold, rainy day. The mashed potatoes were so creamy and salted to perfection. It was only made better by the stellar service. They were attentative, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of. Whether you're making a stop here after visiting Blarney Castle or looking for a good local restaurant to try, you must stop by Muskerry Arms Bar! You won't regret it.

12/06/2025: Great place to stay and dine. 3 min from castle and park. Visit the wool shop around the corner👍

02/06/2025: Lovely spot and service was fantastic, yet food let us down. Kids' meals were tasteless, though I have to say chips were beautiful. Big menu, but we all ordered different things, and they all lacked in flavour.

02/06/2025: Had a wonderful experience dining here yesterday. Staff were very pleasant and food was fantastic. Can't wait to return!!

31/05/2025: Desayuno decente, buen tamaño de la porción y la relación calidad-precio tampoco está mal. El restaurante en sí es un poco desalmado, pero es difícil crear un buen ambiente en un lugar grande y de estilo de alta rotación.

13/05/2025: We enjoyed our stay at Blarney Woolen Mills. We loved that we could walk over to the Blarney Castle it's so close. Breakfast was amazing.

07/06/2025: Amazing customer service, ladies were lovely! Food was below par wouldn’t come here again.

23/05/2025: After a full day exploring the beauty and history of Blarney Castle, an unexpected bus delay led us to discover Amore Italiano—and it turned out to be the highlight of our evening. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. The pizza immediately impressed us with its thin, crispy crust, reminiscent of Mod Pizza back home, a personal favorite of mine. It struck the perfect balance between crunch and chew, with toppings that were fresh and flavorful. However, the true standout of the meal was the pasta. It was incredibly fresh, clearly made with quality ingredients and cooked to perfection. Every bite was rich, comforting, and full of authentic flavor. The salad was another pleasant surprise—vibrant, crisp, and well-dressed, offering a refreshing contrast to the heartier dishes. Amore Italiano exceeded our expectations in every way. What started as a detour turned into a memorable dining experience that I would gladly recommend to anyone visiting the area. If you're near Blarney and craving great Italian food in a cozy setting, this spot should be at the top of your list.

04/06/2025: Quiet place in blarney. Exceptional service from staff. I had the cheeseburger with fries absolutely unreal! It was very quiet while I was there so service was very quick and staff ensures that you have the best experience! 10/10 would recommend

17/05/2025: A small, unassuming cafe with a concise menu. The garlic and cheese fries are homemade. Absolutely fantastic. Homemade onion rings are just as much a given here as the preheated slate platter for the burger. A definite insider tip if you're visiting Barnley Castles and don't want to visit the typical tourist pubs!

19/02/2025: Great place in the hearth of Blarney. Try donner pizza! I always stop by for food when I'm working in the area. Highly recommend 👌
