The best restaurantsof irish in Kerry

17/07/2026: Food and service were top notch! The seafood chowder was the best we have had!

16/07/2026: Excellent service, food and staff.

01/09/2026: A very nice restaurant with very friendly waitresses. The service was quite quick, the dishes simple but very good value for money. I really liked the homemade bread and the trout was good quality. Perhaps a shame that the sandwiches are served with crisps, but at that price it's acceptable! The vegetable soup was good. We were there during a podcast recording in Irish; it was nice to see all those people. They sell beautiful and inexpensive cards (€3). Great for supporting artists!

25/08/2026: wow some of the best food ever with amazing views. crab special was lifechanging

30/08/2026: A lovely classic Irish pub, the downstairs is long and narrow but upstairs is bigger and mote spacious to stretch out in They regularly do live music which is fun, careful on Saturdays it gets very lively and busy

28/08/2026: Typical pub. Friendly staff and excellent beer.

22/09/2026: Lovely, on the marina pretty much; shared noodles and curry, both great. The service in particular was really good.

11/09/2026: Very friendly and efficient service here, the 2 lads yesterday were extremely friendly and professional, food was great and its a lovely comfortable pub. Great selection of beers.

15/09/2026: My cousin brought us to eat here after a pretty long day of travelling from England. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The service fantastic. It’s no surprise that the restaurant has a reputation for good quality home cooked food. The food and drink are fairly priced. The staff were very attentive and provided colouring in books for our toddler. Great kids menu. The view from the restaurant is fantastic with a panorama of Tralee bay.

02/09/2026: Unfortunately, our impression of The Tankard Bar and Restaurant was ruined by the service. At first, everything was going well: we ordered food and drinks and were happy with our experience. Later, we decided to place an additional order and have another lobster. One of the waiters asked us to follow him so that the lobster could be weighed. While we were away from the table, another member of staff started clearing away our cocktails and food, even though we had not finished and were planning to continue our meal. What was even more unpleasant was that she touched the inside of our glasses with her fingers. When we asked her not to clear anything because we were staying and placing another order, the same glasses were put back on the table. After that, especially because of the situation with the glasses and the hygiene concerns, we completely lost the desire to stay. For a restaurant of this level, this kind of service and attitude towards hygiene is unacceptable. Unfortunately, after this experience, we would not want to return to The Tankard Bar and Restaurant.

26/08/2026: Authentic bar with not only kind and helpful stuff, but also with knowledgeable local people, who helped us out with finding farm milk purchase place in Milltown!

06/07/2026: Amazing stay, friendly staff and incredible good food.

12/09/2026: Staff and food is excellent! Family owned and operated for over 150 years! Highly recommend this place!

07/09/2026: Popular venue with holiday makers. Easy parking opposite. Friendly and efficient service with delicious food served.

16/09/2026: Food and service excellent. Toasted special was delicious and filling.

27/08/2026: Wild Cafe Tralee deliver exceptional food and hospitality. The beef sandwich was outstanding—flavorful, cooked to perfection, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Warm, inviting, and wonderfully cozy. It’s the kind of space where you instantly feel comfortable sitting back and relaxing. The staff were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout the visit. Highly recommended if you are in Tralee and looking for great food paired with genuine Irish hospitality!

26/08/2026: Fantastic meal plus friendly service. Food was well cooked and seasoned, loved the salmon plus the veggies were cooked perfectly…would recommend

16/08/2026: I was here today drenched in rain (after almost completing the ring of kerry). Had lunch, beef burger and soup, food was good, atmosphere was family friendly and staff energetic and welcoming. Great experience.

31/08/2026: We had an exquisite night here. Mike and his team are incredibly personable and Mike loves to come out of the kitchen and meet and greet his punters, he is a lovely man. The setting is fab, and the building has a fantastic story. It was a rent collectors during English rule and then during the great hunger they gave out tickets to sail to America, not free I may add…you had to relinquish your property to the English landlords. Enough about that… the food is excellent. The prawn cocktail is a throw back with modern flare. The catch of the day, Hake, was cooked perfectly, and the scallops were to die for. Love this place and highly recommend it.

29/08/2026: Grace looked after us tonight, top class, thank you.

14/05/2026: During our Hotel stay we had a special evening, so we chose the Yew Tree Restaurant despite the priciness, and we were definitely not disappointed. Location is a rather old-fashioned small hall but not too overwhelming design and more moderate color compo. We had the 4-course, which is our strong recommendation, since it comes with bread/butter and small, nice amuse-bouche and petit-four before/after the starter-main-dessert. There are vegetarian options. The waiter was as you can expect in such a fine location, very polite and attentive, but not intrusive, overall very pleasant. No issue or comment when we did not everything completely correct (e.g. struggle with which fork/knive to use). When serving each course there was a little "show" of pouring soups, broth and sauces. The meals were of course of less amount but we were not hungry afterwards. Very nicely arranged, i really liked that, please refer to the photos. Great souffle!

26/09/2026: Lovely place for a nice lunch and amazing cappuccino after a day hiking!

22/09/2026: Fantastic restaurant. Beautifully decorated. Perfectly located right next to the start of the hiking trails. Delicious food. Excellent service and reasonable prices. I highly recommend it and we'll definitely be back if I'm in the area again.

18/08/2026: We have been here while Rose of Tralle festival to pick up some drinks. It was really crowded but I think you can have food time when not that crowded, too.

13/08/2026: Traditional pub, great for lunch, inexpensive, quick and efficient service. Very friendly staff.

11/10/2026: I love this place for drink, and good atmosphere. But is potentially the worst place to eat food in Killarney. I got garlic flatbread, and it has clearly been reheated, the bread was like a rock and the cheese too. I then got the fish and chips which was the worst fish I’ve ever had. The batter was like cardboard and the fish tasted off. Very upset given that it really ain’t cheap.

09/10/2026: We ended up eating here twice. The first time we just got take out, because members of our crew were under the weather. We went back again to enjoy the atmosphere and some live music. The first time I got the Cottage Pie, which was excellent. The second time I had a burger, which was also very good. The place is fairly big inside, so the "quaint Irish pub" vibe gets lost in the size a bit, but the live music was good, and overall the ambiance is definitely pub"ish". Service was good, especially the first visit when our server made sure the take out (which clearly isn't their specialty) was good for us--for example she steered us away from soups because they didn't have good containers for them.
