The best restaurantsof irish in Kenmare

15/06/2026: Dogs aren't allowed in the inside bar but they have a good sized beer garden at the back (accessible from the street behind) which is dog friendly. And if you're solo with dogs - as I was - you can order and pay from your table

14/06/2026: We were absolutely thrilled! The burgers were simply amazing – juicy, fresh, and incredibly tasty. The service was also excellent: very friendly and attentive, and we immediately felt welcome. To top it all off, we had a dessert that was equally superb and perfectly rounded off our visit. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant! 😊🍔🍰

09/06/2026: Had a couple of lovely meals at Mulcahys, after first trying it based on the recommendation of my B&B host. Ordered a started and a couple different small plates on each visit to try some different things, and everything was really amazing; bold and surprising flavours in every dish. The main dining room is classy but welcoming, kind of an old-school steakhouse vibe, with some lovely artwork on display.

09/06/2026: Beef Wellington is something rare these days and it was incredible. The desert menu is focused around their apple tart for 2. The service was ok, a lot of sitting around waiting for my empty plates to be cleared. But the food was delicious.

04/06/2026: Good food, friendly and relaxed waiters, real Irish music. A truly unique place.

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

02/06/2026: I'd give 2.5 stars if I could. We had dinner here while in Kenmare and while it wasn't horrible, I would've tried somewhere else in hindsight. The stew was watery (I am surprised to see some other reviews saying it is the best they've had in Ireland), only had a few pieces of meat. Bread was also an additional cost (bringing the stew up to almost 24 euros each) which wasn't mentioned when the server said "bread with it, right?" and we said sure (we heard it phrased this way to another table, too). However, when saw it on the bill later and mentioned that I am dairy intolerant so I didn't eat much of my soda bread, the server took it off the bill, which was nice. The interior atmosphere isn't as nice as the exterior, with American music playing and not much decor-wise. However, the chips were good and service was decent, and maybe we just chose wrong for our entree.

29/05/2026: We stopped into P.F. McCarthy’s to grab a pint and enjoy the local flavor. We absolutely loved Kenmare and all the locals were super welcoming. We met many locals in this bar and got loads of great information.
