The best restaurants in Killarney

14/06/2026: We found our way back to Reidy’s both nights we stayed in Killarney. The live music was superb! We loved the atmosphere inside, with snug booths and a plethora of memorabilia. If you keep walking through, you’ll wind up in the courtyard, which is a great place to watch the live music. There are multiple bars and restrooms. The service was so fast and the drinks were great!

12/06/2026: Favorite place in Killarney! We came on a Monday night for a drink and ended up staying until close. Live music, friendly staff, delicious Guinness, and an awesome atmosphere with plenty of seating space… what more could you ask for?

19/05/2026: Delicious food, generous portions, friendly service and reasonable prices. What’s not to love

15/05/2026: Bubbly staff and killer coffee. Went here with my girlfriend. She had the Putóg Dubh (black pudding) and I had the avacado toast. Usually when you order something like either of these it comes on a varnished slice of sourdough that you'd need a (never provided) steak knife to cut. At Manna the bread was a lovely middle ground between soft and crispy and if you like a drier black pudding then you'll love it here.

06/10/2025: Tasty food & drinks. Good value and nice level of service

20/09/2025: I bought some white chocolate and coffee eclairs from here and they were so good♥️

22/11/2025: Beautiful hotel, gorgeous room, the most friendly staff. Thank you, I will be back.

26/10/2025: Service was unbelievably excellent. Best we have seen so far in Ireland and all has been very good but this one stands out and about.. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay here again. Food was delicious wonderful ambience throughout the entire hotel and grounds. Excellent location to walking distance for nearby activities also attended church, which was nearby within a six minute walk.

05/06/2026: Epic pub w cracking pints, proper local spot

10/04/2026: This is by far the best pint of Guinness in Killarney. You could not ask for a better pub than Jack C's. From the multi-generation owner/bartender to the local crowd that frequent it, you're in luck if you can find a spot at the bar to chat with the crowd before a trad session breaks out.

13/06/2026: Very good fish and chips. Fast service.

12/06/2026: We ate Valentia Harbour Chowder (a very delicious fish soup) and Pan Fried Salmon. We were satisfied. The place is small and has an open kitchen, so the inside of the restaurant smells a bit like frying. That's the only disadvantage.

23/05/2026: First visit was great! Servers friendly, great vegetarian burritos, cute place! Second try, we entered an almost empty restaurant and no one even looked at us much less greeted us although two employees were actively in the room. Walked out after waiting about 5 minutes.

21/05/2026: We loveddd our breakfast here and it was one of the best we had in Ireland. Delicious omelettes, pastries, and eggs Benedict. The popcorn latte was outstanding!

09/06/2026: I wanted to love it, but several things fell short for us. We had a reservation, but the reception at the door was as if we were imposing a large group with no warning.... reservation was made weeks ago. Service was somewhat spotty with several staff attending- no consistency and some wait time. Bar manager seemed annoyed by our presence and our food allergy inquiries, and our musical requests to the band - odd feeling really. The food was just so so. Very little flavor in the salmon, the tarter sauce, the fish etc.... Nothing special. Didn't feel welcomed. Sorry, just wasn't a great experience.

02/06/2026: There were five of us at dinner and each of us had a different dish. We were all very satisfied. The atmosphere with the Irish music was also great.

19/05/2026: Great food, had a shared portion of chicken wings was a perfect portion for 2, also lovely pints of Murphys, our server was very friendly and helpful

04/05/2026: Hi there, I was with a group of relations and I had the fish and chips. Very poor, hard batter and minimum fish I would not recommend at over €30 euro. I would not recommend this establishment spend your money in the chipper or take away, the food in any take away could not be worse. Regards, John

14/05/2026: Lovely staff - natural, welcoming and helpful; Very good breakfast

10/04/2026: The hotel is in an excellent location, not far from the center. Comfortable and clean. The continental breakfast, in my opinion, should be enriched with a few more typical Irish sweets.

18/05/2026: Seeing the restaurant's rave reviews, and having had an absolutely awful day, I was thrilled when a table became available. I'd barely sat down for a few minutes, while still on a voice call to my parents to recount my day, when the waiter rushed me to order because, and I quote, "there are people waiting outside." The implication was that I needed to hurry up and choose (and frankly, as if I cared that people were waiting outside?). I came here to relax, but this is off to a bad start… The food and beer arrived quickly, and thankfully, they were pretty good. But I'd barely finished my last fry when my plate was whisked away. And the bill was brought right after. Like, way too fast, almost like I was being rushed out the door. I still had to ask the waiter if I could finish my beer… I'm going to conclude that it's perhaps (I hope) a misunderstanding and a cultural difference (whereas in France, time in a restaurant is sacred because we're there to savor and enjoy ourselves) and not a purely profit-driven approach to rushing service, which would be offensive to a customer.

29/04/2026: Very decent food though a bit pricey. Especially liked the fish chowder and lamb shank. Fish and chips was OK. Service is good.

12/06/2026: Had a wonderful dining experience. The fish was cooked perfectly — absolutely no complaints. The staff were very polite, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. I would highly recommend the pan-roasted fillet of hake, the pan-roasted fillet of sea bass, and the wild Atlantic squid. Each dish was excellently cooked, full of flavour, and the squid in particular was tender with no chew at all, which is not easy to get right. Overall, a fantastic meal and I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

09/06/2026: Sticky toffee pudding was absolutely delicious. Sea bass risotto was excellent. And the fried calamari with sweet chilli jam was a star. 5 stars all around!!

16/05/2026: There was a bit of a wait when we arrived (we were seated at the bar), but it was well worth it! The setting was very cozy, calm, intimate, and lovely. The food was excellent. The best restaurant we ate at during our 8 days in Ireland. The staff was very pleasant.

04/05/2026: Hearty, traditional fare. Great service and atmosphere.

17/05/2026: The best mussels I’ve ever had … didn’t know that mussels can be soooo tasty & omg … the duck was amazing ! The skin was crispy & the meat was full of flavor ! And of course the steak … perfectly done … probably the best meal in all of Ireland ❤️💚

05/05/2026: We had a very nice meal here. The food was wonderful, and the staff was accommodating, even though we showed up on a Saturday night with no reservation during the rally of the lakes. I'd recommend it if you're looking for a nice dinner, but probably not the place to go if you're out for drinks, it was definitely a nicer atmosphere

03/06/2026: Great food, evenen greater drink selection.

30/05/2026: Great place for a bite to eat after a day of touring Killarney. The food was delicious…fish and chips were piping hot and the burger was amazing with bacon, cheese, tomato, pickles and a tasty mayo type dip on the side. A tad noisy, but that’s to be expected in a busy pub. Overall it was a great meal!
