The best restaurants in Kerry

17/10/2026: July 26 we were touring Eire in our campervan. I foolishly made a mistake on a campsite booking and nowhere to stay one night. We were advised to ask Michael Fitzgerald if he would let us stay over in his pub carpark. Michael welcomed us with open arms. I had a lovely evening meal at the pub and we had a few Guinness and a couple of local whiskies. Michael very kindly opened the toilets for us to use in the morning. He did not charge us for our stopover. The carpark was secure with a beautiful view. Overall we had an amazing time at the Junction bar and we highly recommend it. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming too.

20/09/2026: A friendly pub with amazing views over the bay. Live music every Saturday night, not necessarily trad Irish. We enjoyed overnight parking in our motorhome - ask first. Limited but varied food is served.

24/10/2026: Absolutely loved the pizzas at Little Italy Pizzeria Cafe! We ordered three pizzas - Rustica, Sicilica, and Marinara—all recommended by the staff member, and every single one was delicious! Really enjoyed the food and the overall experience. Would definitely visit again and highly recommend this place to anyone who loves good pizza! 🍕

31/05/2026: Highly recommend as a lunch option

05/10/2026: What an amazing place. Lots of vegetarian options and people were so kind to recommend the right dishes. Really lovely place. And innovative combinations for sure. Book in advance they get really busy. 😊

24/09/2026: You must eat here when visiting Dingle. Excellent food and service.

13/09/2026: Really good food and portion sizes if you're hungry coming down from a hike in the National Park, like us. We had the vegetarian curry and the chicken with the mushroom sauce and it was delicious. Definitely recommend the flavoured cheesecake! Also greatly enjoyed the playlist that was playing!

08/09/2026: Good value Good Service Good food

27/09/2026: Not great experience and self checkout had difficulty weighing a banana fruit and veg selection was poor as well as torn tea bags and no coffee at the tea and coffee station

09/09/2026: As a Dutch person, I find these to be very beautiful shops with a range of products that we are not familiar with.

11/09/2026: Just spent 5 nights in Killarney with my wife, we visited Jack C's on our first night. We ended up going there every night of our stay for a few Guinness's. This was thanks to Alex and Ronnie who served us and the regulars including Oscar, Willy, Martin and the infamous Sham (man with strongest accent in Ireland). They were all so friendly and made us feel so welcome that we couldn't help but go back again night after night!

16/08/2026: Best little hole in the wall! An absolute creamer

24/10/2026: An unforgettable final night of the season 2026 We went to this restaurant in a 200-year-old Irish cottage this evening for their tasting menu. We have been planning on visiting for an age and are simply delighted to have made it before they close for the season. The decor is not pretentious and is an authentic Irish cottage including draughts! The staff are attentive and friendly, the chef is talented and clearly passionate about food. Presentation was superb. The texture of the scallops, bacon, halibut was superb. Wine pairings were well thought out and complementary. Lamb chop perfection, just reduction sublime. And the Irish coffee was one of the best I have ever enjoyed - perfect. Blend of coffee which was hot and cold fresh cream with perfect texture! I look forward with great anticipation to next season. Save me a seat. Tasting menu - 6 courses with wine pairings for four. &115pp plus tip

20/08/2026: Don't miss it, even if you have to go out of your way to come!

10/08/2026: We ordered catering for our daughter’s birthday party and we were absolutely delighted with the service provided from Catering Tralee. Monika was a pleasure to deal with at all times and very helpful in advising regarding food options. The food itself was absolutely gorgeous and very plentiful and all our guests were very complementary. We will definitely be choosing Catering Tralee for any future special occasions. Thank you so much Monika!

10/08/2026: We were very happy with the food we ordered for my son's birthday party. It arrived exactly on time and was hot/ready to serve in bain maries, which meant we did not have to worry about reheating etc and that people could serve themselves in a very relaxed fashion. Everyone enjoyed their me and we even had enough to send people home with extra portions etc. Would highly recommend Catering Tralee and we would definitely order again.

04/12/2025: An Exceptional Stay, Made Perfect by Outstanding Service I had the pleasure of staying at The Brehon Hotel & Spa on Monday, 1st December 2025, and the experience was nothing short of amazing from start to finish. The standout element was undoubtedly the incredible service. A huge thank you to Bojana, whose support was truly above and beyond. From assisting seamlessly with my check in to ensuring every detail of my stay was perfect, her professionalism, warmth, and attentiveness made a significant difference. It’s staff like Bojana who transform a great hotel into an exceptional one. The hotel itself is beautiful, but the spa facilities are in a league of their own. Without a doubt, this is the best SPA facility I have ever experienced. Every aspect was pristine, calming, and of the highest quality, providing the perfect retreat. My stay was an absolute delight, and I left feeling completely rejuvenated. I cannot recommend The Brehon Hotel & Spa highly enough and look forward to returning in the future. Thank you for a memorable experience.

03/12/2025: All the staff were friendly. The rooms are comfortable. The food and drinks at the bar were amazing.

14/09/2026: Danny’s food truck is such a gem in Kenmare! His produce is local, the burger is a tasty mess and the service is on point!! I’ve been there a few times now it’s always top notch. My go to is the OG but I’ve also tried the PB for something different! Yummy , see you soon guys.

21/09/2026: We discovered Convivium about two weeks ago completely by chance, while walking around Tralee. It is tucked away on a little street near the car park where we had left the car, and we certainly weren’t looking for an Italian restaurant that day. What drawn us towards them was the smell. There was something coming from the kitchen that was so beautifully familiar: the unmistakable aroma of an Italian home on a Sunday, when a Nanny’s ragù or something delicious is slowly cooking and you already know, before sitting down at the table, that you are going to eat well. Then we looked at the menu. We saw parmigiana. As Italians, at that point we really had no choice but to go in. And what we found behind that door was a little corner of authentic Italy in Tralee. The food is simply wonderful. There are different kinds of lasagne, beautifully made and full of flavour. The meatballs in tomato sauce are exactly what proper Italian meatballs should be:l. And the parmigiana is simply divine. Truly. The kind of dish that makes an Italian very happy and proud and also very demanding about when they can have it again. What I particularly love is the attention to the ingredients. This is not generic “Italian-style” food. You find excellent Italian products, from Sardinian salt to a genuinely beautiful extra virgin olive oil, and you can taste the difference straight away. There is authenticity in the details, and that matters enormously when the cuisine itself is built on simplicity and the quality of staples. Maybe the loveliest part of discovering Convivium was meeting Max and Tamara, though. They are two absolutely delightful people, warm, genuine and visibly passionate about what they do. Max is an exceptionally talented chef, and his love for Italian food and culture comes through while cooking his “sugo”. He has already become well known in Ireland for appearing on RTÉ, bringing a little of the Bel Paese to the Emerald Isle, and after tasting his food it is honestly easy to understand why. Tamara brings her own warmth and elegance to the place. Together, they create something that goes beyond simply serving excellent food. There is generosity, enthusiasm and a real pleasure in welcoming people and sharing what they love. Convivium has that rare quality that cannot be manufactured: it feels genuine. The food is made with knowledge and heart, the ingredients are chosen with care, and the people behind it make you want to come back as soon as possible. ❤️🇮🇹

02/06/2026: Always good,real Italian food by Italian family.
