The best restaurants in Kerry

08/09/2026: Dropped in here today with my wife, 2 year old and 4 month old after a walk on the beach. Classic rural Irish bar. Immaculate inside. Couple of old boys at the bar. Local pictures, lifeboat memorabilia, Irish rugby and GAA imagery on the walls. Fantastic pint of Guinness and nice glass of wine. Fairly priced. Only staying for a few more nights but if I get the chance to return I will.

06/09/2026: We spent one night here and it was very good. The room was lovely, decorated in a nautical and modern style, and the accommodation is indeed located at the western end of the island with a very short walk to the beach. All our requests were catered to at breakfast.

09/09/2026: A good find very quiet on a afternoon a very lovely young lady couldn't do enough for us

04/08/2026: Very friendly, delicious food!!

12/10/2026: It was one of the best seafood plate, I have ever ate.

06/10/2026: Mussels were very good but everything else was underwhelming for the price paid

27/08/2026: The chicken wrap was amazing, I highly recommend it to everyone. But don’t order the fries with it, they were not good. The service was excellent.

06/08/2026: It’s such a lovely spot! The food is really great quality and the staff are so lovely. Really enjoyed it, thank you!

02/08/2026: Called in last night for a late take away, food was cooked to order, & came out piping hot, nicest staff at the counter, very helpful, the fortune cookies were a nice touch too!

08/06/2026: Beware of chef special Sarawak laksa it’s missing a soul and it tastes like it. Sorry I try not to say anything less than good but sometimes it’s so annoying I have to. It’s usually a soup but here it’s dry It’s a famous dish and should be epic, but it’s a learning experience and hopefully it’s gonna get better

04/07/2026: Went to to tralee for two days seen this place was down there but didn't look at opening times thinking surely all week. Didn't open until the Wednesday and when we looked at the place looked like it hadn't been open in years very run down on the outside

18/04/2026: This is the second time we’ve been here and it is amazing great service great fun. Highly recommend coming. Service manager is a superstar

15/07/2026: I booked this hotel for a work trip because I have a budget to stick to. The hotels online photos and trip advisor photos do this place no justice. What I expected was a very basic old style hotel. When I arrived I genuinely thought I was at the wrong hotel. I cannot believe this is only a three-star hotel. My room is beautiful, the bed is incredibly comfortable, and the attention to detail is unreal. White Company toiletries, plush bathrobes, a Dyson-style hairdryer, even a clothes steamer—these are the sort of touches that might not even be available in hotels charging several times the price. I’ve stayed in plenty of five-star hotels that don’t get the basics this right. Everything feels thoughtful, beautifully presented and genuinely luxurious. Tonight has been an education to myself that sometimes the best stays come with the fewest stars. My only complaint is that everything is too nice and I haven’t done any work!

09/05/2026: Excellent for lunch or evening meal

27/08/2026: I would like to thank Sean for the excellent service he delivered. I will definitely be back! The food and the service was exceptional.

25/08/2026: Delicious food with a beautiful view of the lake!

04/10/2025: Very nice Hotel, friendly staff

03/10/2025: Wow. The staff here are just amazing, very thoughtful, caring, and professional. They should be highly commended. The food is just exceptional. I did not stay here but I had dinner here and I am blown away. I will definitely return to Ballygarry. 5 star effortlessly.

03/08/2026: Amazing afternoon meal in Foleys yesterday. The staff were excellent and the owner was so welcoming. Menu is very extensive and offers a delicious range of food. The cocktails were incredible. My friend’s father stayed there and said the bedrooms were stunning. Highly recommend Foleys for anyone staying in Kenmare or anyone who wants to dine or have a drink there. I visit it every time I am down and I will definitely be back in the future.

09/06/2026: Nice atmosphere, friendly male staff, and a lovely terrace.

25/07/2026: I have been going to Ballybunion since I was in utero, and even then I hadn't been to Perrozzi's. It wasn't until I introduced my fiancé to Ballybunion that we went to this pizza place I always wanted to try. Come to find out it's one of the best pizzas I've ever had, and my fiancé agrees. Their chips cheese and curry are amazing and they serve the best 99s in the town after the loss of the Post Office. Amazing.

12/07/2026: Food is good but the attitude from the people behind the counter seriously needs to be checked there was really no need to scream over a pizza like genuinely I am extremely embarrassed and upset with the food places service would NOT recommend

16/09/2026: Decent meal, slightly noisy place

13/08/2026: The food was excellent both the beef and chicken burgers exceeded expectations and 10/10 for the salad- best side salad I have had in Ireland. Service was great and the restaurant was clean. Was pleasantly surprised and would highly recommend

02/10/2026: Offer the “McPlant” Beyond burger here unlike in the supposedly vegan forward state of California so thats a hit. Lots of teens hang here so come during off school traffic hours if you’d like some peace.

29/09/2026: My daughter loves it but I would not go on my own as fast food is not good for you

10/08/2026: Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Great craic and atmosphere.

10/08/2026: We had an absolutely brilliant time at The Exchange Bar in Ballybunion! We were staying in Key 73, which is right across from the bar, so the location couldn’t have been more convenient for our hen weekend. The Exchange Bar had such a great atmosphere and was the perfect spot for our group. We had a fantastic time there and the staff were lovely. It really added to what was an amazing two days in Ballybunion. We couldn’t recommend The Exchange Bar enough — we loved every minute and will definitely be back! 🍻🥂❤️
