The best restaurants in Kerry

07/11/2025: We went to the stonechat for my mother's 95 birthday ......highly recommend,the food was amazing..fresh and presented perfectly....great service very kind staff......nice cosy atmosphere.....the best place in Killarney without a doubt

19/10/2025: Absolutely top notch. I met Charlotte and Dermot tonight and was astounded at both their sheer capabilities and charisma. They couldn't steer me wrong .. one delicious bite after the next. Unbelabable. I said, hey I don't think I'd like that but they were like "trust me" and I did. Grapefruit? Delicious. They're all good friends in there and you can tell by vibes. Great atmosphere. The banoffie pie was the best dessert I've ever had. I almost got a second one but thankfully a very thoughtful woman said "maybe two desserts is enough". She was right.

21/10/2025: Had the most wonderful meal in Vendricks last Sunday night. Shared 4 tapas, one main and a side dish between two of us. Every dish was sublime, the portions were ample and the service was wonderful. Would HIGHLY recommend and will certainly be back next time we are fortunate enough to be in Killarney.

04/10/2025: Enjoyed a delightful meal, good wine and wonder service at Vendricks this evening! I look forward to returning, and highly recommend Vendricks in Killarney!

02/01/2026: The experience was quite good! Everything was very good from service to the atmosphere and the food (not five star food, but wasn’t expected to be).

14/12/2025: Ate here last night as a group and had the most incredible time.... they have just the best variety of choices for food options .. the quality of the food, the presentation and portions were super generous.. hats off to all in the kitchen..wine list was varied and nicely chosen with lovely options ..Neil and Barry did a super job looking after everyone with ease and class... .... highly highly recommend this absolute total gem of a hospitality establishment 👏

26/11/2025: The braised venison special was incredible. The staff were very friendly

08/11/2025: A lovely family run restaurant with good food.

25/07/2025: Visited with my mum today and Pat’s Cafe truly exceeded our expectations! The staff were incredibly attentive and lovely from the moment we stepped in, making us feel right at home. The décor is tasteful and spotless, creating a beautiful and welcoming atmosphere. Our meals were fantastic—the portions were absolutely huge and delicious, perfect for anyone who loves great food. You couldn’t ask for nicer people or a better dining experience. The only tip I’d offer: bring cash, as it keeps things simple. A fantastic business we’ll be eager to return to!

19/07/2025: Always great service and standard

03/09/2025: Best seafood, great atmosphere, well worth a visit.

30/10/2025: Spectacular. Beef Wellington, Pork Belly, Fish Pie, all faultless. Desserts lovely with Sticky Toffee Pudding a standout. Service outstanding and pleasantly surprised at the cost. I won't visit Kenmare again without visiting.

26/10/2025: Love this restuarant, great menu, lovely atmosphere and staff were so friendly and welcoming. Recommend it for a special occasion.

27/11/2025: Antony was wonderful! loads of fun! Best place in town! Great experience!

11/11/2025: Easily one of the best pubs in the area. The interior doesn’t try to impress with extravagance; instead, it’s honest, warm, and lived-in. What truly sets the place apart is the crowd: people who carry a kind of quiet sincerity that makes a simple evening feel like time well spent.

23/11/2025: Just like in Galway great staff and great flavors!

13/11/2025: They had the BEST gin ice cream when we went. Highly recommend this place!

30/12/2025: A fabulous restaurant and bar. The place is spotless and the staff friendly. The food was delicious and THANK YOU for so many gluten free options. Kudos to you. Best menu I've seen to date for bar food.

18/12/2025: Best restaurant ive been to in Killarney. Food was delicious, plenty of options on the menu. Slow braised beef was delicious, as was the complimentary guinness soda bread. The service was perfect, Brendan and co were very warm, attentive and helpful and we had the craic with them. Highly recommend

24/11/2025: Just Stopped in with my Brother and a friend last Tuesday the 18. We had the place all to ourselves. The Young Lady who served us was extremely pleasant and Engaging

14/11/2025: Great fish and chips straight from Dingle Harbour. Friendly service and a couple of Guinness helped the food perfectly.

30/12/2025: Was ignored by staff when we went into their restaurant. Seated ourselves after being ignored after waiting for a few minutes for a table. Think everyone was local and got the impression we weren’t welcome by staff. Took a few minutes for someone to acknowledge us and bring a menu despite 3 staff members being there with a half empty restaurant. Once we finished food (19 euro for a burger with a soggy bun that was straight out of the packet and cold lettuce, raw onion and slice of tomato) we went to the bar to pay the bill. There was a bartender (dark curly hair with facial hair- he was the primary staff member that seemed to completely ignore us when we were just trying to give you some business) who was folding cutlery into napkins who we waited for him to acknowledge us but he didn’t so after an awkward minute of standing there we asked him could we pay the bill he said “I’ll be with you in a second”. He went to give the cutlery to a table and then walked off- his colleague came through by chance and took payment. Very strange atmosphere due to staff. Ate and left promptly.

16/12/2025: Thankyou to you all for beautiful meals and a fabulous night at the Oktoberfest..see you next year..

18/12/2025: Fantastic family run place. Brilliant food, service, and beautiful atmosphere. Perfect end to our Kerry trip.
