The best restaurants in Killarney

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♥️

07/06/2026: I visited Hannigan’s on a Harley tour around Ireland with 24 other bikers. I got in touch in advance and got the booking set up. Catriona, the General Manager, was so helpful and understood exactly what we were looking for. She communicated brilliantly throughout and was always friendly and down to earth! In the evening of our meal, we were looked after by Brendan and Dave who were exceptional. I have genuinely never seen service like it anywhere in the world. They were attentive, friendly, polite and did everything they could to make sure we were all looked after. I cannot praise you all enough for our visit, we all had a great time. THANK YOU!!

22/05/2026: David was our server, amazing service, very welcoming. Food was delicious and overall an amazing night out!

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.

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.

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.

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.

13/06/2026: Great food (and really great mocktails) here. Was a bit disappointed with the service, as staff were more concerned with talking amongst themselves than trying at all to connect with guests.

12/06/2026: We had an awesome meal at this unique bar/pub/restaurant for our final night in Ireland. The inside is totally unique-all the seating is divided up into tiny rooms or booths so it feels VERY private and cozy. We had a view to the front street so also good people watching. The menu has lots of inventive twists on the classic Irish pub menu. We started with the warm garlic bread with Brie and honey-delicious and sticky (bit they give you wet wipes). We also tried their version of a wedge salad which was fine but pales a bit when Compared to its American cousin. The real standout for uniqueness was the 7 oz filet served at the table on an 800 degree stone. It comes out seared in the kitchen on the stone so you can then finish it to your liking (hint: slice it to make things easier and faster). The steak came with several sides including patatas bravas, onion rings and more and at €46 was a decent deal. We shared all the courses and it was plenty of food. The modest wine list has several by the glass options but no real standouts. Glasses come in Two sizes. I REALLY enjoyed the smoked old fashioned drink with earthy woodsmoke trapped then released from the glass at the table. It’s a bit tough on the servers-the layout-as it is harder to keep an eye on your customers so expect service to feel a little off/leisurely. A great time and a fun spot right in the heart of Killarney. Highly recommended.

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!!

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!
