The best restaurants in Kenmare

02/05/2026: From the moment we arrived, the welcome was warm and friendly, and it set the tone for a fantastic experience. The food was absolutely amazing—every dish was full of flavour and beautifully presented. The service throughout was attentive without being intrusive. We left feeling genuinely well looked after. Can’t wait to return—highly recommend this restaurant

01/05/2026: We walked in on a Friday night around 8pm. I was afraid at first that we wouldn't get a table without reservations. But, they found a table for us upstairs. The bathrooms are also upstairs btw. We ordered the soup of the day which was French Onion. It would have been a perfect 10 out of 10 if they would have actually put some cheese on top. It tasted amazing...deep and rich beef and onion flavor. But, I wanted the cheese I'm used to. The Wagyu Beef burger and fries was great(although the bacon on it was kind of sad...it looked cold and precooked that had been just sitting there). As was the Seafood Linguini. It was a generous portion with lots of different kinds of seafood. The service was prompt and friendly. We were too full to order dessert but I'm sure it would be delicious! Thank you!

14/05/2026: Ate dinner in the restaurant about 6:15. Not too busy. Had Nachos that were very good. The fish and chips were delicious as well. Good kids menu.

11/05/2026: This was an Amazing visit to Davitts of Kenmare, from start to finish. We booked 4 x rooms for one night in April and it was perfect. My husband dealt with the owner David as it was a surprise for my 60th Birthday. He was so helpful and accommodating. The rooms were lush, cosy and spacious and exactly what we loved. He gave us early check-in so my adult kids could decorate our room for me with balloons & ribbons. The staff were so kind and so friendly. We ate in the bar that evening and again at breakfast the next morning and the food was superb...could not fault it. A lovely quaint bar/restaurant with everything we needed. The next morning we checked out and said our goodbyes and decided to take a wander around Kenmare but as we were about to head to our cars (about 90mins to 2 hours later) one of the staff spotted my daughter and her partner and gave her my house keys, wallet and an item of clothing that we had left in our room and had forgotten about 🙈. We would have been home before realising so again the service above and beyond was second to none. We could not recommend the Davitt enough and we cannot wait to go back. Please visit- you will not regret

07/05/2026: Just had the most delicious meal here. Plenty of choice, I had salmon and tastiest dish I've had in ages, highly recommend

07/05/2026: One of the best meals we had in a long time. Food was delicious and the staff was very nice. A pleasure and we would love to return.

08/10/2025: Great spot, I had a really excellent sandwich and apple tart.

18/09/2025: An accent that sings of the south of France, an address where you meet the owner and her son who will give you a warm and friendly welcome, a little corner of France in Ireland 🇨🇵🇨🇮👍❤️

04/05/2026: We arrived at 5:50. Ordered drinks. After asking several times when we might receive our meal they came back and said “oops”. Your order was never placed. 2 hours later, we received our food. My husband ordered the ribs and they were good. I ordered the Pork special and it was horrible. Our waitress never came back to see how we were doing. We had to ask someone else to clear our table and ask for our bill. We are here for 2 weeks and will never step foot in this joint again.

01/05/2026: A really nice pub; there was no live music when we were there, but they had Brewdog Punk on tap, along with a few other beers. The service was super fast, super friendly, and super attentive. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced.

07/04/2026: Rally great food you won't be disappointed. If getting a takeaway always ring well in advance

05/04/2026: Amazing thai and chinese food made freshly from scratch. very friendly staff. It can get busy so booking a table is advisable but you can also do takeaway.

15/05/2026: The building is beautiful and the rooms were classic but with modern amenities. It was wonderful to be an easy walk into the town of Kenmare. I wish I had more time to browse the art collection and explore the grounds.

11/05/2026: A charming and beautiful hotel set in lovely gardens, yet right in the heart of Kenmare. The service is outstanding, and the hotel has a unique Belle Époque atmosphere that really adds to the experience. Both the afternoon tea and breakfast were exceptional and truly memorable. I visited on business trip and only stayed one night and wished I had more time to enjoy the spa and pool. May go back with my other half for a romantic weekend getaway.

23/10/2025: The food was delicious. The service was excellent and very friendly. The place is cozy and the decor is beautiful.

15/10/2025: ​This cafe is a must-visit! The lunch menu is wonderfully diverse and delicious, offering high quality across the board. We especially enjoyed the flavourful Asian Miss Thi's soba salad—a true standout. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is simply lovely: super cozy, relaxed, and welcoming. It has a great vibe and worth seeking out for a coffee, pastry, breakfast or lunch.

08/07/2025: Delicious cinnamon buns and great coffee

04/07/2025: This is a great coffee shop with the best coffee and pastries ever. The owner is amazing guy and very friendly and helpful as we talked to him about things to see in the area. Love the ambience and vibe and food and drink.

07/04/2026: Eaten here multiple times... we keep coming back. Great atmosphere in a great town.

08/10/2025: The Lagom Townhomes is a fantastic place to stay. Nice views, big and clean room, friendly and delightful host (Brandon), easy parking, excellent bathroom, perfect location, and tasty breakfast (and exquisite dinner). At dinner, the short rib was amazing. We look forward to coming back soon!
