The best restaurants in Kenmare

20/04/2025: Superb discovery in Kenmare. Easily of the tastiest restaurants in town. We tried the specials and were not disappointed. Seafood a must.

20/04/2025: The food was outstanding and completely unique. In addition, the service was friendly and even though we came without a reservation, we found space and were looked after really well. There were dishes that are not available everywhere and the price and performance are simply in perfect proportion. An absolute recommendation for delicious food and a great time.

20/03/2025: Food was delicious and the staff were really friendly. Great atmosphere. Would definitely go back just for the mushroom risotto!

16/03/2025: Shabby dim lit place long wait at the bar being hustled for drinks. They have 3 dinner sittings per evening !! One tiny croquette entree was 15 euro. There was no lobster in it !! Beef brisket was way too salty a black charred wide edge. Since we were asked how it was, i said it was salty but waitress said i should have said earlier. .. .. tiny serve of fish pie. We'd just received our wine and were asked if we wanted some more ! Our vegetables came in sharing bowl for the table. Since we weren't with family it was not good. Celeriac gratin and tart tatin was just ok. Was not impressed by 240 eu bill. Thanks to waitress from Mulcahy suggestion, our evening before at no. 35 restaurant was absolutely fantastic food, service and very very comfortable. Thanks to waitress from Mulcahy suggestion we go there.

04/04/2025: Awesome bakery with really great staff! A must stop in Kenmare! The BEST carrot cake out there. Highly recommend!!

31/03/2025: Amazing sandwiches, coffee and deserts. The friendliest service. Highly recommend a quick stop here!

05/05/2025: Absolutely the best cafe and Croissant in Ireland. It tastes like Paris.

28/04/2025: A French-speaking couple runs this small gastronomic specialty. French bistro classics, small dishes and sweets are offered. The quality is truly amazing! The Quiche Lorraine stands up to any comparison! They also offer very good coffee from portafilter machines. I experienced it here for the first time in Ireland.

26/03/2025: Tuvimos un baile en el Brewhouse para una despedida de soltera el fin de semana de Paddy. La comida y los cócteles eran fabulosos, agradable ambiente frío durante el día y el personal era muy amable también. Volvimos allí más tarde en la noche de nuevo para bailar toda la noche, con una banda en vivo y DJ después, gran craic! Kurtis era brillante para tratar, me respondió en cualquier pregunta muy rápidamente en todo momento. Muy recomendable ✨ Dara : )

25/03/2025: Had a delicious breakfast there after a night out in the lovely town of Kenmare. The Brewhouse also has live music every night! Great place to be, anytime of the day.

10/04/2025: Stayed here for a night with my fiancé. We had a slight issue with the room that the duty manger Sharon dealt with in a very professional and caring manner. She is a lady and a pleasure to deal with. Our stay was so relaxing because of this. The restaurant waitress Monika was very courteous as were the other serving staff. Lovely leisure centre too. Sauna and steam room are great, staff are amazing here too. Proximity to town centre is a five minute walk, ideal. Thanks guys, well done. 👍

16/03/2025: Clean room, lovely heated swimming pool with steam room and a perfect jacuzzi! Highly recommend this retreat!

30/04/2025: Irish style pub, we stopped here to eat and it turned out to be an excellent choice. We ordered two burgers, one with lamb and the other with beef. The bread was fragrant, the meat very tasty and we really enjoyed the hand-cut chips. Informal and very fast service. All accompanied with excellent live music.

28/04/2025: Outstanding service and food. Top of my list for places to eat and drink in Kenmare. The staff are so welcoming and cannot do enough to accommodate you, especially Meg who is the star of the show! We had a really exceptional experience at PF McCarthy's and cannot thank them enough for their hospitality. 10/10

14/04/2025: Tuvimos comida aquí mientras estuvimos en Kenmare y nos quedamos impresionados con la calidad, ya que no esperaban que fuera tan bueno. Parece un lugar muy popular también para llevar y sentarse. Tenemos pollo al curry y pollo Schezwan. ¡Muy bien!

06/04/2025: Llevar es demasiado caro. El pato estaba muy seco. Solo ir allí una vez al año en ocasiones especiales debido a sus precios, pero ahora irá a otro lugar. No vale la pena.

17/04/2025: Highly recommend the Il Carne pizza.

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

27/04/2025: We were there yesterday and sat outside on the terrace with our dog - the weather wasn't ideal, but we had our dog with us and wanted to have her with us too. That wasn't a problem either. The staff was very friendly and even brought us a dog bowl with water, which our dog gratefully accepted. One of us went in to order and a waiter brought our food out pretty quickly. The food was delicious and plentiful. Accordingly, the slightly higher price was completely justified. It was quite crowded and loud inside, so we had a lot more peace outside. We didn't make a reservation either and just thought we'd give it a try as we drove past.

22/04/2025: Llegamos a Kenmare y nos alegramos de nuestro be&be recomendado Casey's. La comida era deliciosa. Mi amigo tenía la suela negra y todavía está delirando al respecto. Tenía el Korma que era perfecto. Y encantado de descubrir que los propietarios tienen familia en Boston! Recomiendo encarecidamente una parada en Casey's!

04/05/2025: The moment you walk down the driveway and see the fairy lights twinkling and the candlelight glowing , you know you’re in for a real treat. The atmosphere is cheerful , the staff so welcoming and friendly, the food is superb. I know there are many very good restaurants in Kenmare and sometimes it feels like there is TOO much choice. But having been to the Lime Tree I can honestly say that it’s the pick of the bunch. The atmosphere, the lovely staff , the quality and the presentation of the food are second to none. Eating here is a memorable experience. They’ve managed to tick all the boxes , and I love the fact that it’s owned and run by a family all working together as a team to make your night special. I cannot wait to go back.

10/04/2025: A family gathering-11 of us in total. Three generations at the table and our experience was amazing from the moment we entered the door. Service was exemplary, menu was excellent, quality of food was YummyLicious…loved every minute and morsel this beautiful restaurant. We’ll be back!!

20/04/2025: We had the early bird dinner. It was exceptional.

14/04/2025: This is a lovely guesthouse on the main street in Kenmare, connected to a nice restaurant. The place was kept in great condition and it was noticeably clean. The beds were very comfy and I didn't find the noise too bad for the main street. The breakfast was excellent (above the standard). The only comment I'd have is that the parking situation isn't ideal with the nearest public park a bit of potluck and not the most organised carpark.

06/04/2025: Super nice. Typical pub and friendly staff. We slept 2 nights. Pretty good.

26/03/2025: Typical Irish pub. Food was okay. Very friendly service.

14/11/2024: Very nice service, no problem communication, great place ;)

04/11/2024: We were there at the end of August. It was very nice, quiet, and the people were very kind and friendly. They were uncomplicated and helpful, and they immediately showed us what was worth seeing. The breakfast was absolutely excellent, and the location was sensational. Many thanks to the hosts

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.
