The best restaurants in Kerry

16/08/2025: I had seen on the website that it was a place that had seafood oysters and had won several awards from the some Irish Association. That caught our attention and we booked there to celebrate my birthday. The service was very good. The menu is far from offering seafood, local fish, and even less so oysters, given that there's a farm less than 10 minutes away by car. A huge disappointment.

08/08/2025: Location was very picturesque as it is in a quiet village, off the beaten track with views across the water. Excellent meal, served by efficient friendly staff. The atmosphere was enhanced by having a traditional Irish pub setting to the front, on passing through a small door arrive in a very modern restaurant.

30/07/2025: Very nice service, the room smelled and the bed was cracked, the view from the window was breathtaking, when we went down for breakfast I was given a sticky spoon

28/07/2025: Great place to Rest or stay overnight. Dinner was wonderful, as was breakfast. Friendly staff. Looking foreward to stay there again.

17/06/2025: I will be thinking about the meal I had here for a long time! Had a burrata starter which was un.real. Then the best gnocchi I've ever had, and for dessert a rhubarb ice cream sandwich of dreams. I was part of a group of about 20 people and the service was faultless. A delicious and memorable experience!

13/06/2025: Excellent guest house and extremely helpful staff. Very well-kept restaurant and food definitely up to expectations

02/08/2025: Expensive. Grand food, typical pub food, limited enough menu. I live in Dublin, a big capital city. I didn't expect a small country pub to be more expensive than Dublin. I have never seen fish and chips for 24 euro on a pub grub menu!! Everything else 20-22. Food was fine.but really a bit too greedy. Staff pleasant, service ok

27/07/2025: We found this place to be way overpriced, food quality average, Service friendly and efficient. We will not be back. There are many better options in Listowel.

23/08/2025: The food is actually really good, but way too spicy!!! I had noodles first, but then had to replace the curry for my girlfriend because she can't stand spicy food. The service is terrible. After they brought us an extremely spicy curry, it took an extremely long time to bring bread or something to soften the flavor. Note: There was no mention of "spicy" on the menu!!! They then gave me a sauce that the waiter told me to eat. It was mayonnaise, so the spicy feeling after a spoonful of mayonnaise was mixed with nausea. The bread then arrived what felt like 10 minutes after that, and the waiter had forgotten to bring it three times, basically too late. Then, when I paid, my cash was refused because it was "too big," and my girlfriend had to go and get her money from our car. After the meal, I had a queasy, tingling feeling as I left. At least they gave us the bread, and the water was free, too.

18/08/2025: Lovely, cozy pub with some of the best food I’ve ever had. Got the mussels in the white garlic sauce and they were divine!!!

10/08/2025: Great pizza and friendly service! It was a nice change from typical pub food. The salad was also fresh and delicious.

27/07/2025: Best fish & chips I’ve ever had!

14/08/2025: One of the best restaurants for dinner if you're in Killarney. Great food and great service.

13/08/2025: Great meal and service. Plenty of choices for everyone on the menu. From traditional Irish to Italian fairly priced.

17/08/2025: Great pub with excellent musicians throughout the night

13/08/2025: Friendly pub with daily (or almost daily?) music sessions. The prices are reasonable: 5.80 for a pint of Guinness in August 2025.

12/08/2025: Excellent cinnamon bun, great coffee and amazing service. They had a great selection of food and drinks, as well as alternative milk options. It's located right in the centre of Glenbeigh, very handy for breakfast or a quick coffee if you're on the road

12/08/2025: Unfortunately, my recent visit to Emilie’s Café was disappointing. Service felt disorganized — customers had to fetch their own cutlery, ask for milk and condiments, and it took a long time to place our order. When the food finally arrived, the waitress loudly commented in front of the entire café “avocado toast”which was unnecessarily embarrassing. Given the high prices, I would expect a friendlier, more efficient experience. The location has great potential in beautiful Glenbeigh, but sadly this reflects not just one, but my last few visits here. The products are pricy and therefore the experience should be a lot more polished. Hoping to see things improve!

21/08/2025: A fantastic dining experience. We returned having eaten here last summer: learnt that restaurant under new management but heard reviews were very good. They were right. Monkfish was a highlight but there were many. The homemade bread was divine served with salted & herb butters. Spicy margarita exceptional. Well worth the trip

21/08/2025: Fabulous meal & dining experience. Returned having eaten here last year whilst in Kerry. Was aware it was under new management but had heard good reviews: they were not wrong. Worth a trip: standouts were monkfish, homemade bread & a knockout spicy margeurita..there were others.

09/08/2025: We only ate there, and I regret it. I spent the whole night in the bathroom. There was something wrong with the food. We had the sea bass and the lamb chops. An entire day of vacation was lost.

08/08/2025: The staff are lovely and the drinks are good. However, there are three evil men that have colonised the space. They are all balding and middle aged. Most likely single. They are terrible at darts, however, they insist on using the dart board exclusively for several hours and being incredibly rude and aggressive to anyone who wants to share the dart board. Especially women. I have attached a photo so you can see what they look like. Again, the staff are lovely only these men are the issue.

01/08/2025: A fantastic hotel with wonderful, helpful, and friendly staff. The ladies at the reception desk are the perfect ambassadors for this excellent hotel. The breakfast is extensive and, unlike many hotels in this class, offers delicious, freshly baked bread.

30/07/2025: Very good value for money with excellent service. Very typical and very well located.

23/08/2025: What a magnificent place to stay. The staff are always on hand to give you great advice on activities on the island and help with any questions you might have. The bar is an amazing place to eat too! Highly highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

22/08/2025: Great, only the bed wasn't comfortable.

04/07/2025: Great spot for a pint, nice outdoor area too!

30/06/2025: We stopped in here for a few pints on our first day in Dingke. Great Guinness, the best I had in town. Lovely beer garden and really quaint. The barmaid was really attentive and friendly. Unfortunately she was alongside a barman who was blunt, cool, quite rude and ignorant. Pity. It's a good pub though, I won't let one person influence my review and I'd recommend the place without hesitation.

06/08/2025: Awesome Different spaces, different atmospheres, musicians, good beer! Perfect for a great evening!

19/07/2025: This is where you want to go for an authentic Irish experience. 5/5. Great vibes, great pints.
