The best restaurantsof irish in Kenmare

27/03/2026: Just a stunning meal with beautiful service!! The tastiest meal I’ve had in a long time from starters mains to dessert, I’d recommend the prawn soup - Divine!!

21/03/2026: The beef and Guinness pie was outstanding!

14/04/2026: Absolutely a great place to stay for Kenmare and start of Ring of Kerry - service outstanding, whole place well appointed , huge breakfasts too

13/04/2026: My partner and I stayed at Davitts for two nights recently and could not have had a more pleasant experience. The room was spotless and very spacious with a great shower! Food was excellent especially the breakfast, highly recommend the porridge! The staff were all very welcoming to us, especially David who was very friendly and we had great chats with. The location is perfect nestled right in the middle of town with plenty of options for food and bars around. Could not recommend Davitts more, we will definitely be recurring visitors.

08/04/2026: For the price, the food was mediocre, and the staff were apathetic. Not sure if it's because this joint mostly serves tourists instead of locals. A few independent Irish beers on tap is an upside. If you want a true Irish quality meal and more attentive staff, which is typically high quality for a few less euros, get out of the resort towns. You just got to get out of your comfort zone and look for them.

07/04/2026: We came here a few times while we were here for a few days. Their food is excellent and fresh. They serve breakfast, lunch amd dinner. Some of the staff are attentative and offer great service. Not all but many of them were fantastic at service. They have great vegatrian options and the vegatarian sausage they serve is so good. Highly reccomend this place. It is airy and spacious, historic, cool bar.

07/04/2026: Eaten here multiple times... we keep coming back. Great atmosphere in a great town.

02/04/2026: Cosy winter dining at its absolute best ❄️🍽️ There’s something special about stumbling into the perfect restaurant on a cold, grey Irish evening — and The Lime Tree in Kenmare delivered exactly that. From the moment you step inside, you’re wrapped in warmth. Think rustic stone walls, soft lighting, and that intimate, inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay all night. Pure Kerry magic 🇮🇪 We began with a complimentary bread basket — homemade sourdough and brown bread with olive oil and tapenade. Simple, comforting, and exactly what you need to ease into a winter meal 🫒🍞 The duck croquette was a standout — confit duck leg with Asian slaw, pickled plums, and plum sauce. Crispy on the outside, rich on the inside, with that sweet-tangy plum cutting through perfectly 🦆 Then came The Lime Tree’s famous sticky chicken wings — glossy, saucy, and completely fall-off-the-bone. You can tell why they’ve earned their place on the menu 🔥 For mains, the Duo of Kerry Lamb stole the show. A beautifully pink rack of locally sourced lamb alongside a mini shepherd’s pie, finished with confit garlic and thyme jus. Two styles, one incredible dish — and a perfect showcase of what Kerry does best. The pan-fried sirloin of Irish Hereford beef was equally satisfying — topped with crispy onions, confit shallot, and herb butter. Rich, classic, and exactly what you crave on a winter’s night. If you’re ever in Kenmare when the temperature drops, this is where you want to be

10/03/2026: One of the few Irish food/bar places that plays proper Irish trad. Great sound track to grand bar food. Lovely service from Arthur the Finn.

14/02/2026: Had dinner here last Friday night. We had the burger and a roast. Excellent service. Ger the owner was very accommodating.

29/09/2025: Flank steak - Top 5 of all the meals I've ever had 😀

24/09/2025: We had a very good lunch here with 4 people

13/03/2026: Interior is pretty nice and they have a big selection of beer on draught. The burgers however? So dry, you couldn’t even save them with any amount of ketchup. Wouldn‘t recommend the pub for food, maybe for drinks later.

13/03/2026: The service was very slow and we left after no one would serve us after waiting for 20min. Also the place wasn't busy
