The best restaurants in Killarney

28/09/2025: We didn't have a reservation, sat at the bar, and were shown to a table after just 5 minutes (instead of the expected 60). The food was very(!) delicious!

20/09/2025: The food and service were fantastic. Would highly recommend

13/10/2025: Still dreaming of our delicious Chocolate Guinness cake from our wedding… Gary was a pleasure to work with and even designed the cake to match the flowers on my dress. The cake was moist and the buttercream was not too sweet, just perfect. Setup was seamless and the cake was ready in our ballroom by the time we arrived for dinner. Highly recommend!

02/10/2025: O’Carroll’s Bakery came through for us on short notice with the most delicious vegan cupcakes. My daughter was thrilled to have a safe, egg-free treat for her granddad’s birthday. Wonderful service and amazing cupcakes—we’ll definitely be back!

13/09/2025: Food was tasty, however we were told after ordering that our first choice from the specials board had sold out and had to choose again. Also our first two choices of beer had also sold out! The food servers were all great, very busy but very attentive. The downside is the lack of atmosphere, it is bright, no background music and the screens from Covid are still up between booths.

27/08/2025: Nice pub, friendly service. Enjoyed a pizza in the pub area, we were pleasantly suprised by the freshly made pizza - it was excellent !

17/10/2025: I popped in here for a drink and it ended up being a highlight of my trip! It has the feel of a locals spot but, in typical Irish fashion, you're only a stranger until you start talking to someone. Everyone was incredibly friendly and made me feel at home. If you're cool, Jason might even let you pour a Guinness. If you're really cool, he might even lie and say you did a good job 😂

21/07/2025: A perfect place to stay while in Killarney as the location is spot on ! Lovely friendly bar with toptastic Guinness. Rooms are very clean and comfortable with all you need from shower gel , moisturiser, fresh towels , coffee , teas and complimentary snacks. The power of the shower is seriously good with hot water always . Now breakfast is another level from many places I’ve stayed , served and cooked by the wonderful Norita . All choices are very good but I particularly enjoyed the omelettes , absolutely amazing ! Norita was super friendly and even made some home breads and muffins that were yum , she also gave us a few tips on where to go in Killarney . Totally recommend this place when in Killarney.

14/10/2025: Have a fabulous 3 day's in the hotel,dancing to live entertainment each night afternoon had cooking demo 1 day Bingo,and card games afternoon also had live music in the lounge and dancing 🕺 😀. The hotel also has a bus to collect people from the Train Station, plus if you didn't feel like walking into town the bus €2 each way .The hotel also have a pool if you feel like swimming. I am looking at going back before Christmas ,as they put on some great packages I have been told. I can't say enough about all the staff so friendly and helpful 5* to everyone @Gleneagelehotel.

12/10/2025: I took 11 of out Friendship group here for the Active Week we stayed from the 5th October to 9th October, from the Killinarden Family Resource Centre. I have to stay it was a fabulous few days away from the time we arrived the staff were so helpful, kind, so polite. Even down to our breakfast time and dinner time was superb. The food was great and a verity to pick from. I would highly recommend staying. We will be booking again. The activities were good and the courtesy bus from the hotel to the town and train station was great service. To take in the sites of Kilarney was just like a picture. Thank you to all the staff.

06/10/2025: We ordered fish and chips and spaghetti with seafood, and both were truly delicious. The fish was plentiful, crispy, fresh, and tender. The food was also piping hot. A definite recommendation for fish and chips. We'll definitely be back.

05/10/2025: A great western pub with incredibly delicious food and great value for money. The gluten-free burger and ribs were amazing.

23/09/2025: Best Night of sleep I've had in weeks. Beds are so comfortable. Best shower I've had in weeks. And such nice service all around. Everyone is so friendly. Definitely recommend.

22/08/2025: Such an amazing staff, hotel, and location! Everyone was so kind and the location couldn’t have been more perfect. Definitely our favorite place we’ve stayed during our country tour. Highly recommend!!!

01/10/2025: Adorably quaint cafe with plenty of seating, friendly staff and lovely cappuccinos.

01/10/2025: My go-to coffee shop in Killarney. Good coffee, tasty food and a cozy atmosphere.

20/08/2025: I am most impressed with Riva the restaurant manager's ability to assist me with a low fodmap approved meal for my evening dinner. She recommended either of the salads, and prepared me a special salad plate with shrimp and dressing (for someone who needs a low fodmap menu having salad dressing is so rare in a restaurant setting). She also brought me roast chicken, mashed potatoes (yes, no garlic!) with broccolini and farm fresh carrots. My meal was delicious and I do recommend for someone suffering from allergies. special care and attention are provided! The hotel room has a relaxing vibe from the jacuzzi tub and tea with milk service in the suite. The hotel is nestled between two main streets. Nice to wander and savour the live music, both modern and traditional Irish without any noise in our room. Nice and quiet.

19/08/2025: Stayed here for 3 nights in November, not at all what I had expected from seeing it from the outside from previous visits to Killarney. The car parking situation is not great as it's a 5 minute walk to the where you can leave your car overnight. There is a carpark across the road but it goes by the day and you have to be up and out before 9 to get a ticket. The room was so small and dull, definitely in need of updating. The pool also was small, I understand the location leaves little room for manoeuvre but by pictures etc you could only be disappointed. It's definitely a hotel which is getting it's American tourists by the bus load either way so it neglects certain things. We stayed in Athlone on the way home and there was no comparison. Would never stay again

15/09/2025: You may pass this by, but please don’t, the food is delicious and the service is attentive! Would definitely recommend! 👍🏻

22/08/2025: Went on a Thursday eve and sat outside, food was delicious with lots of veggie options, margarita was perfect and service was super attentive. Would recommend a visit when in Killarney. Would recommend the veggie platter - great value for money!

25/08/2025: Loved both the Lake Hotel and Lakeside Bistro. The location provides amazing views of Killarney mountains and lakes! Service staff was amazing! We had some jet lag the found us awake at midnight. The serving crew, cleaning up the day’s service stopped to makes us a fresh coffee and real cream tray to take back to our room! The food was great and the bar atmosphere was cozy. Only wish the actual bar, itself, held more seats. The room was spacious with great views! Highly recommend it!!

05/07/2025: Really enjoyed our meal. Everything was plated well and was delicious. Dessert was impressive. My wife ordered the tiramisu and I had the pannacotta. Highly recommend both. And you can’t beat the view!

07/08/2025: Arrived at 1:15 and had the place to ourselves. Best oysters we have had in Ireland, and that's high praise. Food was delicious, our server, John, was excellent, and cannot recommend highly enough.

05/08/2025: Absolutely terrific service and fabulous food. Good value too. Don't miss a meal here when visiting Killarney. The fish is first class and so fresh.

29/08/2025: Basic pizza . Dominos always delicious!

17/06/2025: Hi, we order Hawaiian pizza there for our kid,was waiting only 8min and was delicious!! Costumer service was young helpful man name Dawd(saw on screen) 5 stars! Pizza-pice of art.I can recommend to eat there,definitely will back sometimes.thanks👍

24/08/2025: The best place for drinking coffee in Killarney I recommend all people who will stay in Killarney visit this place ☕️🇮🇪

20/08/2025: A beautifully furnished, cozy hostel with a great atmosphere! My girlfriend and I were warmly welcomed, first by the four-legged friends, then by the two-legged ones :) There's a kitchen with some ingredients, like spices and even pasta, that you can use for free. Breakfast, with homemade bread and eggs from the chickens in the garden, is also included! Everyone I met there—staff and guests alike—was friendly and contributed to a nice atmosphere—it was almost like a big shared apartment :) If I'm in Killarney again, I'd love to come back to the Black Sheep Hostel!

16/10/2025: Nice place friendly staff and good food

07/09/2025: I would not recommend staying at this hotel. The bed was very uncomfortable and the “double” bed was two twins pushed together. The staff was very unfriendly as well.
