The best restaurants in Killarney

21/04/2026: We were a group of four this weekend, from Friday to Monday, staying at this B&B. The rooms are relatively small, and there were a few minor issues in the bathrooms, but it's not a 5-star hotel after all. Location: Excellent! We think locals also like to come here for a drink. You can choose from different breakfast menus every day, and there's toast, banana bread, or other bread available in unlimited quantities. Very friendly service in the breakfast room. Cozy pub with very friendly staff. Good Guinness! We'll definitely be back. Thank you for your hospitality!

06/12/2025: My new favourite bar in Killarney. Very glad we only live an hour from here. The Murphys was excellent (the best in Kerry). Staff here were very friendly. Great cosy bar, but just push the door that sticks on your way out or in.

23/04/2026: Room is great but you can hear the water from other rooms Additionally there was no flexibility about the cancellation even though the government did cancel the ceremony late. Customer service was not pleasant and not responsive

19/04/2026: Disappointing experience. Due to fuel protests and road closures, travel to Killarney became impractical, and my citizenship ceremony was cancelled. Despite explaining this in advance, the hotel offered no flexibility and declined any refund, stating they could not resell the room. What stood out was the lack of understanding in a situation clearly outside a guest’s control, especially when other hotels in Killarney handled similar cases more reasonably. Policies are expected, but so is basic fairness. Unfortunately, that was missing here.

10/11/2025: Some of the nicest hot chocolate, mocha's and chocolate cake around. With the friendliest and kindest staff. We had finished our food and it started lashing rain as we got outside. We had 2 yiung kids with us. The staff kindly told us to sit back down until it had stopped, and didnt mind us taking up a table on a very busy day. Hence we repeatedly come back here on every trip to killarney! We miss it when it closes for winter!!

06/09/2025: A wonderful initiative to help people with Down syndrome, among other things. Delicious cakes and good service.

14/05/2026: We went here just for one cocktail after dinner at the Yew Tree and found a relaxed atmosphere with a piano player and fireplace in the main room and besides a smaller, more pub-like room with a TV on a Sports program, so one can choose according to the mood. Great waiter and good cocktails, bit expensive of course but fine for once on a special occassion.

24/04/2026: Nice restaurant, but pricey, and I didn't feel at ease, and that was due to the service. I wouldn't recommend it. My husband's food was fine; I received the wrong thing, and in my opinion, that was because the husband completely misunderstood me. However, the staff made me feel like it was my fault. I decided to eat it because of that, but felt very uncomfortable.

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!!!

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!

17/12/2025: Good burgers, and the best thick milkshakes in the town. The staff are very nice and the service was amazing.

14/12/2025: The food was absolutely amazing,it was one of the best burgers I've ever had , and their milkshakes are insanely good

07/12/2025: Was a small and beautiful restaurant. The best was the food best pizza ever, Very generous toping and the attention was super. Myself and family definitely comeback there soon.

27/11/2025: The restaurant was small, pleasantly decorated, and had nice background music. A big plus was the ability to choose the size of the pizza, which was thin-crust and freshly made. Another plus was that you could choose a salad instead of fries with the lasagna. The lasagna itself was just okay, ordinary, nothing special. Overall, a pleasant time at an Italian restaurant.

01/12/2025: I left my work nametag behind me on accident and no bs this dude chased me across killarney to hand it to me. Legends. Coffee is good aswell.

17/10/2025: Stopped here for a quick lunch and snack. Food was very tasty and staff friendly and efficient.

19/04/2026: I could not write this review fast enough! We are literally parked down the street, still finishing off the last incredible bites of Mikes spice box 🔥 I will be dreaming about this delicious meal after our lovely holiday & HIGHLY recommend this to everyone passing by!! If you like a little bit of spice, this incredible dish will leave you EXTREMELY satisfied & grateful you made the stop. The seasoned french fries were an extra special surprise. My husband and I were walking by & smelled this delicious meal from two gentlemen standing in front of Mikes. We had to ask them what they were eating. We proceeded to order the exact same thing and enjoy every second of this incredible concoction 🌟

05/04/2026: Food was fantastic. Really recommend the Spice Box

22/07/2025: The team was able to find us a table last minute. Food was served promptly, and oh boy what a great burger and crinkle chips.

02/07/2025: The separate vegan menu is so nice to have. I actually asked the server if the menu was vegetarian, because the options seemed too good to be vegan. It is still limited to 2 main dishes, 2 starters, and 2 desserts. However, that is more options than you'd find in most places. I had the Halloumi Arranccini balls, the pasta (good and spicy topped with yogourt), and the brownie with raspberry sorbet. The brownie wasn't worth it, but the rest was fantastic. The price is a bit high in my opinion for what I got. It was a nice night out for sure.

20/04/2026: Had a great experience here. Servers were pleasant and personable, and clearly understood their menu. Food itself was excellent! The portion sizes worked well, I left feeling full but not bloated. View was also great. Can definitely see us going back!

29/03/2026: Very much let down by the food here in the Panorama restaurant completely overpriced for what was dished out. Carrots were extremely tough and tasteless. Mushroom risotto was a lot to be desired. Again it was very tasteless and the appearance was very off putting with the amount of froth in the plate. Nicest part was the dessert. Overall a very disappointing experience to the stay and the occasion that was being celebrated. Staff were very polite and welcoming only positive side.

28/12/2025: The most amazing Baileys cheesecake 😋😋😋

23/12/2025: This is one of the nicest friendliest restaurants in killarney love going to meet my son for coffee Toasties cream cakes and the only place to get spelt bread 🤗💚Staff are just amazing 😍 Happy Xmas to all Marion & Joseph xx

27/04/2026: Great food... Lots of veggies which is important for me and very tasty at a good price

04/04/2026: Very disappointing experience overall. Ordering was frustrating – the staff member seemed to struggle to understand simple requests. Delivery time was quoted 40–50 minutes which felt quite long. When the food arrived, nothing was prepared as expected. Everything was packed separately (noodles, meat, sauces), with no cutlery, chopsticks, or even napkins provided unless specifically requested – which is not ideal for a delivery. Food itself was bland and lacked flavour. I would rate it around 4/10 at best. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t order again and wouldn’t recommend unless you have no other option.

25/07/2025: Food was good, but the portions rather small. The desert was a joke, we ordered the crumble and it was completely soggy and a tiny piece - absolutely not worth it. Service was good.

24/07/2025: Husband and I chose this pub while visiting Killarney. We love authentic Irish food so this place really hit the spot. When we walked in, we were told that they didn’t have any tables left and they were completely full. There were a couple seats at the bar thankfully so we asked if we could sit there and eat, she said yes. The two young guys behind the bar gave us some drinks quickly, waitress took our food order a few minutes later. We decided to share the mini potato cakes (€8.95), which were pretty much mashed potatoes mixed with chicken and bacon, and then covered in bread crumbs and fried. It was covered in a mushroom creme sauce which was really good, with a small salad on the side (if you can call it that, it was really a couple pieces of lettuce, a single grape tomato and a drizzle of dressing) My husband got the fish and chips (€17.70) which honestly was probably the best fish and chips he’s had so far during our trip. I was a little jealous of his food after I tried some of his. The fish was almost melt-in-your-mouth quality. Soooo good. I would go back just to eat that fish again. I got the spinach and ricotta ravioli (€20.95) which came with a tomato and basil crème sauce, some garlic bread, and a handful of arugula on top. The pasta itself tasted good (jealous of the fish!) but the garlic bread was so crispy (not burnt) that it was almost too hard to chew. The dish would have been fine without the ‘salad garnish’. The only thing I would point out is that obviously the pub is very busy, and it didn’t look like they had an ample amount of seating, but they must have turned away at least 20-30 people because the back of the pub was closed (due to a large party maybe?) and they just couldn’t find a place for those people to sit. So I guess we got there at just the right time? Whatever - I would still go back JUST for the fish and chips ❤️
