The best restaurants in Kenmare

09/09/2026: We had a wonderful memorable meal at No 35 on Monday 7th Sept. We both ordered the Special - Black Sole. Fresh, fleshy fish cooked to perfection. Normally not inclined to order dessert, we shared a chocolate mousse creation - wonderful. We were attended to by the personable and knowledgeable Neill who, despite the busy evening, was very attentive. We had a lovely evening.

08/09/2026: Delicious food! Great service! I recommend it and will definitely be back on our next visit.

21/06/2026: To David and The staff at Davitts Guesthouse Kenmare. Myself And my friend stayed for the weekend at Davitts for my best friends Wedding. And from start to finish, we had the most welcoming and friendliest experience. The room was so comfortable and spacious and the breakfast was such a lovely homemade start to our day. We had the pleasure of meeting with David the owner. Such a gentleman. He kindly drove us to Kilarney Train Station to make sure we got the train home safe. We would highly recommend Davitts Guesthouse Kenmare for your Next Stay and ours. Thank You for Everything and we will return soon to the Kingdom 🌟 ☘️ Jennifer Duggan And Kay Moore

15/06/2026: Dogs aren't allowed in the inside bar but they have a good sized beer garden at the back (accessible from the street behind) which is dog friendly. And if you're solo with dogs - as I was - you can order and pay from your table

15/09/2026: Have a been a couple of times over the past few months and it was great on both occasions. Try the delicious Beef Wellington

05/09/2026: We arrived without a reservation and with our two year old son for dinner around 5:45pm on a Friday night. Laura and her staff accommodated us and served us the best meal we have had in Ireland. The scallops and beef pie were spectacular, as were the treacle and Guinness bread and the sticky toffee pudding. This is now a must stop for us every time we are in Kenmare. It should be for you too!

12/09/2026: Wow so so worth it! We didn’t book a table and although the place was super busy, they managed to squeeze us in on a table outside. The staff were ever so friendly and the food was superb! Portions were a great size and couldn’t recommend this place more :) great veggie options for us as well! Now we’ve lined the stomachs, we’re ready for everything kenmare has to offer! Thank you for a great time

10/08/2026: Sausage was “exceptional”, guacamole was extremely good. Scone was fresh and tasty. Lattes were good.

09/08/2026: Very busy when we were there, but worth the wait. Nice selection of fresh cakes, breads and pastries.

31/08/2026: We had an exquisite night here. Mike and his team are incredibly personable and Mike loves to come out of the kitchen and meet and greet his punters, he is a lovely man. The setting is fab, and the building has a fantastic story. It was a rent collectors during English rule and then during the great hunger they gave out tickets to sail to America, not free I may add…you had to relinquish your property to the English landlords. Enough about that… the food is excellent. The prawn cocktail is a throw back with modern flare. The catch of the day, Hake, was cooked perfectly, and the scallops were to die for. Love this place and highly recommend it.

29/08/2026: Grace looked after us tonight, top class, thank you.

05/09/2026: Decent lunch spoiled by the extra charge of €2 for a jug of hot water we requested to accompany the pot of tea. A small thing, but a bit un-generous. No tip.

15/07/2026: Wonderful stay at ODonnabhain’s. The hosts, Jer and Vanessa, along with the staff made us feel welcome and comfortable during our 3 night stay. Perfectly located in Kenmare, day trips to the Ring of Kerry and the Beara were possible.
