The best restaurantsof irish in Kerry

10/02/2026: We had a wonderful stay at The Killarney Oaks Hotel. The rooms were absolutely spotless and so comfortable, and from the moment we arrived the staff were genuinely welcoming and helpful. Dinner was delicious and beautifully presented, and everything throughout our stay was efficient and well run. There’s plenty of parking, which is a real bonus, and the hotel is within easy walking distance of local amenities. What really stood out was the staff—they truly go above and beyond to make guests feel looked after. An absolute pleasure to stay here, and we’ll definitely be back.

08/02/2026: Staff in bar standing around doing nothing. Felt I was being rushed as Three times Staff came over to ask if I had finished my dinner when I clearly haven't. Staff talking about personal matters at Bar. Staff getting angry at each other over mixed up orders. Was not told the specials and wish I had ordered something else then the awful chicken I had.

08/02/2026: Went for a bite to eat with my wife and 9 month old son and everything was fantastic. Staff was very friendly and the food was top notch. Can't wait to go back again!

23/09/2025: Beautiful pieces, brilliant colors and shapes, and very nice people. Unfortunately, they're too big for our small suitcase! Delivery worldwide!

04/09/2025: Best pottery in Ireland! We bought several pieces from here and they delivered to Canada. Great views of the ocean and countryside as well.

07/11/2025: I really like the bar in this hotel, where they have live music. An excellent location at the entrance to the city near Super Valu

04/11/2025: Good hotel, lovely to have parking. Staff were welcoming. Good location if you’re up for a mile walk from downtown. Planning to stay again!

20/11/2025: I dream of this fish and chips. It’s incredible. The fish is cooked to perfection. John is an absolute gentle man and makes everyone feel so welcome. I’ve never seen a chipper with a wood burning stove inside! Absolutely incredible. Fish and chips by a fire was never as good as it is the Hungry Knight. Counting down the days until I’m back there again.

18/10/2025: I don't know how this place has a 4.2 rating. Of the entire 10oz meal, plus fries with cheese and garlic sauce, the only good thing was the hamburger meat – probably thanks to the butcher from the nearby shop across the street. The fries were hard, and the bun looked like it came from a supermarket, which isn't befitting a place that claims to be an artisan burger joint. In Poland, this level of quality would probably deserve a rating of around 3. On the plus side – the service was very friendly and helpful. Perhaps the quality of the food is different in the summer, but unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it in October.

26/06/2025: Good food. The service was quick and very attentive. The decor is very tasteful.

03/01/2026: Excellent restaurant in a pleasant setting. Good food. The pudding is excellent.

03/12/2025: A very pleasant surprise! We weren't expecting much when we went in, yet we ate very well! The goat cheese, strawberry, and walnut salad was excellent and refreshing, and the fish and chips were generous. Plus, the place was clean!

29/09/2025: Rooms were very basic. Window did not open and wasn't shutting fully and it was very windy outside which cooled down the room and the radiator wasn't working. There were spiders in the bedroom, the bathroom and in the halls. Breakfast was made to order, but you could only choose from 7 different things. The quality of the breakfast was mediocre and the "avocado toast" especially was a joke. Location directly by the sea was nice though. We only stayed one night

22/09/2025: The shower wouldn’t drain at all and we asked for assistance at the front desk (phones in the room to call down didn’t work) and they said they couldn’t help. Mind you, the hotel barely had any guests and they could’ve easily moved us rooms but didn’t. Don’t stay here since the only way to clean yourself is by using the bathroom sink

17/09/2025: It’s called Cafe Mocha….yet the mocha i ordered wasn’t even drinkable. I gave it back for them to throw away. I would not recommend this place

10/09/2025: Had the all day breakfast. Lots of things to choose from. Very friendly and helpful staff. Delicious cakes too!

04/11/2025: Nice enough place with friendly staff

28/12/2025: The most amazing Baileys cheesecake 😋😋😋

23/12/2025: This is one of the nicest friendliest restaurants in killarney love going to meet my son for coffee Toasties cream cakes and the only place to get spelt bread 🤗💚Staff are just amazing 😍 Happy Xmas to all Marion & Joseph xx

17/01/2026: Fantastic service and food piping hot. Rare to find chips that are cooked perfectly. Nice and crisp.

23/12/2025: Great food. But eating area was a bit grubby

30/09/2025: Leo , Gunther, Aoife & Lucas are lovely people! Food and service excellent! Keep up the great work💙

14/09/2025: I asked if I can have cofee... They said yes. I went to the car for 20 seconds to take my card... In this time they start the cleaning program of the machine... Desgusting mean people.

25/07/2025: Food was good, but the portions rather small. The desert was a joke, we ordered the crumble and it was completely soggy and a tiny piece - absolutely not worth it. Service was good.

24/07/2025: Husband and I chose this pub while visiting Killarney. We love authentic Irish food so this place really hit the spot. When we walked in, we were told that they didn’t have any tables left and they were completely full. There were a couple seats at the bar thankfully so we asked if we could sit there and eat, she said yes. The two young guys behind the bar gave us some drinks quickly, waitress took our food order a few minutes later. We decided to share the mini potato cakes (€8.95), which were pretty much mashed potatoes mixed with chicken and bacon, and then covered in bread crumbs and fried. It was covered in a mushroom creme sauce which was really good, with a small salad on the side (if you can call it that, it was really a couple pieces of lettuce, a single grape tomato and a drizzle of dressing) My husband got the fish and chips (€17.70) which honestly was probably the best fish and chips he’s had so far during our trip. I was a little jealous of his food after I tried some of his. The fish was almost melt-in-your-mouth quality. Soooo good. I would go back just to eat that fish again. I got the spinach and ricotta ravioli (€20.95) which came with a tomato and basil crème sauce, some garlic bread, and a handful of arugula on top. The pasta itself tasted good (jealous of the fish!) but the garlic bread was so crispy (not burnt) that it was almost too hard to chew. The dish would have been fine without the ‘salad garnish’. The only thing I would point out is that obviously the pub is very busy, and it didn’t look like they had an ample amount of seating, but they must have turned away at least 20-30 people because the back of the pub was closed (due to a large party maybe?) and they just couldn’t find a place for those people to sit. So I guess we got there at just the right time? Whatever - I would still go back JUST for the fish and chips ❤️
