The best restaurants in Kenmare

27/07/2025: Amazing! Extensive menu and all dishes done so well. Excellent service by host Grace who was running the show like a boss. A must do in Kenmare!

10/07/2025: Consigliato dalla proprietaria della casa in cui stavamo siamo stati in questo locale e devo dire ha fatto fede alle parole che ci erano state dette. Personale simpatico e gentile. Il cibo di ottima qualità. Tutto molto molto buono.

10/07/2025: Really enjoyed our meal here in May, one of our top in Ireland. Options tend towards the "small plate" side so don't expect gigantic portions. This gives you the chance to try a few delicious things, and everything WAS delicious. We could tell this is the place that all the locals go when celebrating a special occasion. Always a good sign. Worth making reservations here!

10/07/2025: Outstanding. If you are in town please eat here

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.

19/07/2025: Perfect pizza, one of the best we've ever had. I recommend it 🤩😘😋

19/07/2025: I loved the Pizza Spagnola with the little bit of honey on top!

31/07/2025: Este es un café muy concurrido en Henry Street Kenmare. Esta es una calle muy concurrida y se puede sentar dentro o fuera. Tienen una gran variedad de pasteles, bollos, sándwiches, etc. Los bollos y el pastel que tuvimos fue agradable y muy bien presentado. Sin embargo el café era terrible, no estaba seguro de la marca de granos de café, pero sea cual sea la marca, los granos se queman y no podía beber el café...! IT fue asqueroso.

04/07/2025: Cute french-irish hybrid cafe. We picked up sandwiches for our hike and I was so happy that they also had matcha 🍵 Definitely worth checking out! Beautiful tasty food and kind people working there.

21/07/2025: Perfecto. Buena comida de buen humor buen precio. Buena música. Fácil de alcanzar. Absolutamente para intentarlo. Gracias chicos. Buena experiencia.

11/07/2025: Good place to eat or enjoy the night afterwards

13/07/2025: Best asian food I have ever had! I am allergic to soy and garlic (bad combination if you love asian food), but they made a delicious meat & prawn meal for me without it. I loved it! Honestly, strong recommendation!

14/06/2025: We ate here tonight, food was soooo nice, tasted very fresh, we eat in alot of restaurants but couldn't fault it only that we wanted more of it! Definitely will be returning.

30/07/2025: Lovely place that we have been for drinks before as we live locally, so we popped in for dinner with sister in law and hubby while they were visiting , food really delicious, just one negative, my guest likes to drink Prosecco, but it was €14 a glass, so two glasses €28!!! We felt that was over the top.. normally €10 is a max for a glass.. why??

30/07/2025: Honestly one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. Menu had a good offering but service was unacceptable. Menus bluntly put on table. Starters arrive - two moments later male waiter announces to us that the kitchen was closing and our mains would be brought out immediately before we had finished the starters. Three kids meals ordered. Only one arrived. When I asked when the other kids meals would be out the waiter said I never ordered them & it was too late now. We obviously could not leave two of our kids without meals so decided as a family to pay in full & leave this restaurant. May I add our mains were on our table going cold while we ate our starter. I am sure keeping them under heat lamp would have been sufficient for a few more minutes. All of the above was made even worse by the manner of the male waiter who clearly did not want to be in work that day. No apology, even when we paid in full and expressed our disappointment. Not good enough but can confirm other nearly pub had brilliant food and service so will visit Kenmare again just not this establishment.

28/07/2025: Had a delicious Buddha Bowl here! Fresh food in a charming Kenmare street. Great coffee too!

26/07/2025: Fun and delicious spot for lunch.

15/07/2025: Unfortunately I was check into the kenmare where I have stayed before and always have been totally satisfied but due to a bereavement I had to cancel.... I rang and the lady was so sympathetic and I was able to cancel without any payment needed,,, with all that is going on I really appreciate the understanding from the kenmare and hopefully I will return in the future... God bless and thank you again

14/07/2025: Lovely hotel, just 10 minutes walk from Kenmare centre. Breakfast was very nice, plenty choice. Evening meals were delicious. There was iced water available in reception. Pool was a good size. Staff were very helpful. Would definitely recommend.

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

15/07/2025: Flavour is excellent, service prompt, and the presentation of the dishes was clearly very thought through. Reviews and menu photos here are a bit misleading, note that it is now €55 for a two course meal and €60 something for a three course. BUT IT IS WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!!! Also for gluten free people, the menu is varied and seems pretty accomodating. Most restaurants don't have as many options as this one. The gluten free desserts were a highlight. Brought group of 8 so here is the group ratings on assortment of dishes: ~ Starters Calamari : 7/10 pretty good, somewhat chewy but taste was good and batter just grand Chicken wings: 8/10 would recommend for people who like very sweet sauce on chicken wings Duck briquette: 8/10 one of the better ones we've tasted ~ Mains Lamb duo: 10/10 definitely the most enjoyed by everyone, cottage pie was incredibly tasteful and the lamb was cooked to perfection Chicken supreme: 9/10 also very delicious, portion size a bit on the smaller size but with a starter before it's perfect Steaks: 7/10 they were quite sinewy, a bit unsalted, but with the pepper sauce over it was just right so be sure to put the sauce on for a better taste ~ Desserts Sticky toffee pudding: 12/10, not only gluten free but absolutely delicious Brownie: 10/10 very rich and chocolatey ~Children's meals Penne pasta: 9/10 according to a ten year old, the sauce and cheese came seperate so kids can customise to their taste Chicken goujons with chips: 7/10 according to 8 year old Overall good experience and would absolutely recommend for a special occasion!

10/07/2025: Lucky to get a table on short notice. The tables were set nicely & food was well plated. Unfortunately the servers were spread too thin that night. Service was a bit slow and based on the atmosphere it seemed they should remember who ordered what; but food delivery was a bit mixed up within our family. We noticed we were seated upstairs with other families of young children while a large group of adults was boisterous with their “adult” conversation.

16/07/2025: Lovely restaurant. Went for Sunday lunch. A good choice of main course dishes on the menu. Good service, good food, lovely comfortable restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Would recommend and will return.

29/06/2025: Amazing food, I can't wait to call again. I think the wait time was a little bit long, but its worth it. I understand that things are cooked to order so I personally don't mind waiting the extra few minutes for food that is perfect (the beef burger was unreal). Nice atmosphere and excellent staff.

02/08/2025: The food was not worth the long wait, I did like the atmosphere and scenery around. I'd say the atmosphere would make me come back again.

01/08/2025: Very rude waiter We had a drink, and when it came time to order at 9:10 p.m., the blond waiter told us in a very rude manner that they no longer serve at this time. We went elsewhere. Plan an hour before you want to eat.

12/07/2025: Great service and manager was very nice. Food was decent. It was a little expensive in comparison to similar restaurants we had been to.

08/07/2025: Cottage pie was perfect. Dessert was tasty, but the bread was a bit dry.
