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.

29/12/2025: Great menu with some really tasty dishes. Great value on their early bird menu too. Will definitely go again.

23/11/2025: Vendricks Restaurant, as usual, was absolutely superb. The decor inside the restaurant is top-class — very elegant and beautifully designed, and the festive Christmas decorations added a really warm, inviting touch that really enhanced our experience. The menu offers some lovely options, and I ordered the stuffed mushroom with goat’s cheese, which couldn’t have been any nicer. The presentation of the food was just amazing. My brother ordered the beef burger, and he said his meal was also 10/10. The staff are all extremely helpful and accommodating. I would most definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a really good meal in Killarney. You certainly won’t be disappointed, and I definitely hope to return again soon.

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 👏

18/01/2026: Best staff and ice cream I’ve ever had.

01/01/2026: We visited Murphy's at least four times during our short stay in Killarney. The staff there are incredible, so helpful and full of energy. The ice cream itself is of 5 star quality and the variety of flavours are very, very good. The staff will offer free samples if you are curious about one. I tried the Irish brown bread flavor, which was really good. My favorite was Kierans Cookies, though.

30/12/2025: The food is amazing. The staff is very attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back.

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

07/01/2026: Great restaurant with great service. The steak was to die for and the brown bread is the best around. Pity they don’t sell it in loafs! Make sure you book as it’s quite a small restaurant and very popular.

31/12/2025: They kindly fitted 13 of us in last minute on new years eve. We had such a gorgeous evening and meal. So helpful and accommodating with 7 kids! Food was delicious. We had chicken wings to start, then lamb shank and salmon , all yummy! Service was excellent, so friendly and we had a great time. Thanks again, highly recommended 👌

30/01/2026: Lovely clean bright restaurant, tasty yet reasonable food, and really friendly service.

16/01/2026: The BEST seafood chowder I've ever eaten. I could've just ordered a bowl of just that. I was surprised they had gluten free bread available for me and gluten free fried items. The staff were courteous and prompt. They don't take reservations but it very calm when we visited. The best food I during our trip in Ireland.

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.

12/09/2025: Ordered a classic Spillane’s burger with the works.. Mar’s burger sauce, bacon, cheese.. SO delicious! 10/10

11/09/2025: I’ve been coming to this place for over 20 years and I’ve been disappointed at how much the food has declined in recent years but went again today just to give it another go. The veggie options were really poor, I was served what seemed like a frozen burger with frozen chips, and then charge €1 extra for a slice of American cheese. It felt like no care or attention went into the food. The people I was with were equally disappointed (they had non-veggie options). Really disappointing experience compared to what this place used to be.

10/01/2026: A fab cafe, unbelievable food,tea coffee, hot chocolate, delicious. Cakes and pastries. Very friendly staff, warm and cosy in winter, and cool in summer.

08/01/2026: Nice little café at the beginning of the Gap of Dunloe road. We refueled with afternoon tea here after walking the entire trail, and it was a nice respite from the cold and rainy weather. The baked goods were alright. Don't order the matcha latte. Probably one of the worst I've ever had.
