The best restaurants in Kerry

27/09/2026: great pub, loads of nooks to sit in

22/09/2026: Very quaint and authentic. An original combination with a belt maker you can watch at work if you don't feel like spending time with your friends, your pint, or your whiskey... A must-see!

14/10/2026: Great coffee ,great cafe food,busy atmosphere. Wonderful reason to visit Castleisland !

05/09/2026: This is such a nice cozy coffee shop with excellent food and kind servers. The atmosphere is very earthy, with lots of plants and dark colours. The sandwich I got was delicious, and the staff were very kind. I would 100% come here again

20/09/2026: Hands down best coffee in Killarney! After trying 5 or so cafes and restaurants in Killarney, we can say without a doubt that Good Boy is the best coffee in town!

16/09/2026: Had a delicious bagel that was full of pastrami and a perfect flat white. Staff were nice and friendly.

22/10/2026: I'm going to be so honest, it's been over a year since I ate here and I still think about it. I'm currently sitting in a restaurant on the other side of the world, completely full and I'm still drooling and dreaming about the friggin bread from this place. Idk what they put in that bran bread but it's actually so good. I would literally fly back to Ireland, drive to Dingle, and come here again just to eat that damn bread. The actual food is also phenomenal, let that be known. But that bread.. Can't believe I actually still have a photo of it. Call me dramatic I don't care. And I don't even really like bread at restaurants.

10/10/2026: Food was amazing and our waiter was so nice and professional

16/10/2026: A pleasant surprise on the way to Derrynane Beach. Delicious food, generous portions. I ordered a seafood gratin and loved it.

10/10/2026: Was laking any atmosphere very disappointing😞

06/10/2026: No entertainment while we were there but an old school irish pub. We stopped in both nights we were there.

16/09/2026: 🍀 A truly fantastic pub with super friendly owners! 🍻 The owner is incredibly nice, funny, and always has a witty remark ready 😄. He connects wonderfully with his guests and immediately creates a relaxed and cozy atmosphere. You instantly feel welcome and at ease here. 😊 A classic, cozy Irish pub, just as you'd want it – and in the evenings there's even live music 🎶🍀. We had a really great time here and will definitely be back! Highly recommended if you're looking for an authentic Irish pub with a great atmosphere and warm, welcoming hosts. 🇮🇪🍻

27/06/2026: Fish bones in chowder the place is trying to win an award for….. interesting. Service was awful. Waited almost an hour and 50 minutes and never got our food. Blamed everything on the chef when clearly it was front of house mistake. Go somewhere else.

26/06/2026: Unfortunately we are forced to leave a bad review. When we first arrived, we were seated immediately at a front table by the window, and it seemed like it was going to be a great experience and meal. After we ordered our food and drinks, we were served bread and waited for our appetizers (one caesar salad and three chowders). After about 20 minutes, someone came by to ask us if we wanted another round of drinks and some more bread, to which we passed on the drinks and agreed to the bread. After about another 25 minutes, our server came over to say that the kitchen had overlooked the ticket with our appetizers on it, so it would be another 15 minutes or so until our appetizers arrived. As a family who owns multiple restaurants / is in the industry, we tried to be understanding, as we know what it is like to be a busy restaurant on a Friday night. However, once the appetizers finally arrived, there were fish bones in the chowder, and the soup was unfortunately average. After about another 30 minutes, and our entrees were not anywhere in sight, we asked when we could expect our food and were told “it will be coming out soon”. By this time, we had been at our table for about an hour and 40 minutes, and the manager/bartender offered to buy us a round of drinks to appease us. We passed on the round of drinks and asked when our food could be expected. She told us that it was “being plated just now”. Again, we waited about 15 minutes and our food had not arrived. At this point, we asked for our bill and said we didn’t want to wait for our food anymore. The bartender apologetically brought our check over, while continuing to blame the kitchens error, however, did not comp any of our drinks or appetizers. The whole experience was extremely disappointing and we would not recommend wasting your time, or spending your money here.

01/10/2026: Fish was well cooked and tasty. Just to note that this place isnt for vegetarians. For someone who enjoys seafood this will be a lovely place. It’s written as Michelin Star - not sure about it as the food is definitely not that of a Michelin starred place. Food is okayish to good. Not great. Washrooms aren’t well maintained.

30/09/2026: I had such a amazing evening. Julian and his team are providing a wonderful experience. The food is up there with the finest I've ever had, a great menu offered . service on point. And a beautiful restaurant.

08/09/2026: Highly recommended if you like fish and chips and know what to expect. Fresh local fish; we ordered smoked cod and monkfish, both excellent, especially the monkfish. The chips were very good, though perhaps a little less salt would have been nice. Friendly staff (I didn't notice if they washed their hands, as the food is cooked at high temperatures, and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger). There's a bar with a few stools where you can eat your order. The music is a bit loud. Orders take about 10 to 15 minutes to arrive, as everything is prepared fresh.

08/09/2026: This is Holy Buckets stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 We ordered the cod fish chipper with their homemade tartar sauce. Yes! Go! He makes it fresh right there!

24/06/2026: We had an amazing stay at the Great Southern for two nights. A fabulously beautiful hotel with great service, right in the town centre. The staff were so accommodating and friendly.. such a treat.. thoroughly enjoyed.

08/06/2026: Beautiful hotel and great friendly and professional service from all. It was such a pleasure to spend a few days here. Food was excellent and the location is perfect for walking around Killarney. right beside the train station too if you don't have a car.

06/11/2026: I wanted to like them more than I did, but ultimately found them above average. Service was challenged with large crowds, but still a knock on the review. Prices also higher than they should be is another knock. The food saved the review which is why I came. The fish n' chips was probably the best I had in Ireland. Would I return is debatable. 3.5 rounding up.

01/11/2026: I had lunch and dinner both here, great place with affordability and availability at Dingle😊

11/08/2026: Lovely, efficient, fresh, friendly

08/08/2026: Great food. Great value. Prompt and friendly service. Great place

05/09/2026: Very good food, the fish on the menu needs a michelin star, well done !

25/08/2026: Very good food, worth the price. One point coud be that it doesn’t look very authentic inside or from the outside, but overall 5/5.

26/10/2026: Lovely little cafe. Great atmosphere and very cosy. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. The food and coffee are also delicious. I would like to come back and try more! The pancakes were amazing - big portion. Would highly recommend

27/09/2026: I had lunch there, food was great. Be prepared for the big portions!

02/10/2026: Simply the best seafood served with great pleasure. It's a local staple!

22/09/2026: Absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the Cold Seafood Platter. Fresh and tasty, the scallops were a melt in the mouth job. Big juicy crab claws too. Not cheap but worth every penny.
