The best restaurants in Kenmare

08/03/2025: Exceptional restaurant with fabulous food, atmosphere & friendly staff. Great for special occasions & located in the heart of Kenmare.

01/03/2025: A really lovely meal. Do yourself a favour and order the Tart Tatin if it’s on the menu 🤤 The staff were super friendly and attentive.

12/02/2025: No. 35 came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. Every dish was just perfect. And the staff were so friendly and welcoming. One of the best meals I’ve had in years.

15/01/2025: We had made a reservation at this lovely restaurant for our one night in Kenmare. We were seated on time upstairs , which was a quiet and cozy room with only a few tables. The wine selection was good and we had a wonderful meal, easily the best meal we had on our entire 10 days in Ireland. We started with the pear, pecan and blue cheese salad, a nice portion, easily split for two people with just the right amount of dressing. The Mancini balls with goat cheese were very tasty. Our meals were delicious , the hake with potatoes and leeks and the lamb ragu. All of it was outstanding. However, the service was terrible. Our waitress, Emily, was impatient and rude. We asked a few questions as it was our first time dining here and wanted a few moments to look at the menu. She rolled her eyes at us the first time and the second time when she returned with our water when we had a question about the wine. When we asked if we were bothering her, she said no but proceeded to ignore our table the rest of the evening , notably chatting and serving other tables nearby. We are not difficult patrons and are very engaging and gracious to those that work hard in restaurants. We didn't let it ruin our meal. Her lack of service was reflected in her lack of tip and we did speak to the manager on the way out when he asked us how our meal was. I would return because of the outstanding food, but ask for a different server.

27/01/2025: Such a wonderful little shop for a takeaway on your way around the Ring of Kerry, everyone was so lovely

15/01/2025: Lovely food in quaint wooden roadside shack

06/01/2025: Esta es una pequeña joya de un restaurante / comida para llevar. Nuestra comida era absolutamente delicioso como siempre y el personal es muy amable y atento. Si estás en Kenmare, es una visita obligada.

25/10/2024: Una persona solo puede tomar tanta comida de pub en Irlanda y cuando descubrimos este restaurante tailandés en Kenmare, (siendo la comida tailandesa nuestra cocina favorita), aprovechamos la oportunidad para cenar aquí... La comida era absolutamente deliciosa, una de las mejores comidas tailandesas que he probado... El servicio era bueno, el servicio bueno, a un precio razonable, buena cerveza y vino también. . . Muy recomendable. . . Incluso le hice un cumplido al gerente (ess) de lo buena que estaba la comida y dije que hagas lo que hagas, no cambies. Ella agradeció mucho el cumplido.

06/03/2025: Great service great coffee! Lovely pastries too!

06/03/2025: I had the Skillet Breakfast in this Café yesterday and it was just about the best breakfast I've ever had. The sausages are infused with whiskey and magic. The staff are friendly and kind and the other patrons include a number of ladies at the next table who were in their "later years" in age and were enthusiastically discussing Gaelic football. It couldn't have been more perfect.

08/02/2025: recommended, service was super friendly and experienced!

27/02/2025: I cannot say enough good things about this place. The food is superb (I had a few meals here - all amazing) and the staff professional and friendly. The back garden is a great place for a chat and game of darts. Highly recommend.

26/02/2025: Friendly staff, great menu and located in the heart of Kenmare

03/03/2025: Friendly staff, good food, nice and clean inside.

18/12/2024: Absolutely the best pizza we have had outside of Italy. Lovely staff, amazing puddings. BYOB. Decent pricing. Would go again when visiting Kenmare

17/02/2025: Cenamos aquí en nuestra última noche en Kenmare y encontramos The Lime Tree para ser un excelente restaurante. Tienen varios espacios de comedor, y estábamos sentados en el comedor principal cerca de la puerta principal. El ambiente es simplemente impresionante, con un ambiente a la luz de las velas y servidores cálidos y amigables. El menú ofrece varias opciones y la carta de vinos que lo acompaña es excepcional. Si estás en Kenmare, ¡no te pierdas el Lime Tree!

10/01/2025: Gorgeous restaurant, professional service and outstanding food.

05/01/2025: We had breakfast at the cafe, very delicious vegetarian and vegan options. Friendly staff, cosy atmosphere.

10/11/2024: Friendly service, good vegan food, and short waiting time despite the large number of guests. A very nice place, worth visiting and trying the dishes served. Even for meat lovers. The location is also very nice. Close, but off the beaten track, which makes the place very peaceful. The menu is diverse enough that everyone will find something for themselves.

12/03/2025: Excellent, quick service. Waiting staff friendly. Portion size substantial. I chose the mango cheesecake and they brought over two spoons so my wife could share it with me, like she likes to do anyway

23/02/2025: We passed by Kenmare yesterday and decided to have dinner here. The staff is friendly and nice. The menu offer seemed interesting. We had a chowder, very good A grilled sea bass, good, not exceptional. Side of vegetables. Lack of presentation and too much creme and butter. I had a burger, a bit small, served with french fries.fair. We saw the place crowded but we did not have a superb experience. After all, fair service and price. To note: staff in the kitchen without hat and gloves. HACCP should be adhered to.

10/02/2025: Había nueve personas en total en nuestro grupo, estábamos celebrando un cumpleaños y acabamos de ser decepcionados por otro restaurante, así que pensamos en probar Caseys por si nos podían apretar. Sucedió que inmediatamente comenzaron a prepararnos un área, ¡lo cual ya era una buena señal! La comida era excelente (recomendaría encarecidamente las costillas! ) , todo salió rápido y estaba caliente. Me gustaría aprovechar la oportunidad para mencionar también a nuestro servidor Johnny, que era absolutamente excelente, muy atento y amable. Nos contó los especiales, sabía exactamente lo que era, y no estaba en el menú, e incluso volvió con una lista de tés especializados para varios miembros de nuestro grupo, una estrella absoluta, que tuvo la paciencia de un santo! Gracias Caseys por una velada maravillosa. 👍

28/01/2025: Fabulous food. Could not fault anything.
