The best restaurants in Killorglin

02/05/2025: Great place to stay and eat at. Rooms are modern, well kept, beds are very comfortable, large bathroom. The restaurant has a great menu, lots of locals and tourists, staff are very friendly and helpful. Lots of sea food.

29/04/2025: Went for lunch, excellent food. Nice friendly service, looking forward to going again.

19/04/2025: Food is exceptional and portions are large. One of the best fish and chips I've ever eaten! If you can, try also their onion rings, they are fabulous!

11/04/2025: I had fish and chips yesterday passing through Killorglin the haddock and chips were delicious will call again

16/04/2025: Easily one of the best places I‘ve stayed in Ireland so far. Lovely staff, absolutely nice, modern and convenient rooms. Very good continental breakfast with a good selection of savoury food as well as sweets and cereals. And you should definitely try the pizza for dinner, really thin and so delicious. Last but not least the rate for the room was quite fair. And I was able charge my car in 100m walking distance (ESB charging station).

28/03/2025: Stayed here for 3 nights on a business trip and thought it was perfect. Couldn't fault it. We arrived later than expected and found nobody at reception or in the bar. Everything was locked up. We called the phone number and it was answered by someone who we can only assume is the owner. This person was rightly confused by our arrival at such a late hour but promptly instructed us on how to enter the hotel and locate the key to our rooms. This was much-appreciated as the alternative would have been to sleep in our van! We were staying in the apartment located around the corner from the main entrance to the hotel. It was newly refurbished and very clean with a kitchen, living room, hallway, and two en suite double bedrooms. The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom and shower were beautiful with a monsoon showerhead and backlit mirror. Plenty of storage space in the bedrooms for clothing, though the rooms themselves were quite small. Both bedrooms and the living room had a massive smart TV mounted on the wall. The TV in my room did have a vertical strip of dead pixels which was slightly annoying, but I'm sure it's easily fixed. Breakfast in the hotel was continental, with a small selection of cured meats, cheeses, croissants, cereals, yogurts, and jams; as well as tea and coffee made to order. Everything was fresh and tasty, and well organised. Kingston's has a great bar which includes an extensive selection of whiskey and cocktails. They also serve wood-fired pizza, which is very tasty and with great options, albeit a little pricey in comparison with other lunch/dinner spots in Killorglin. If you're looking for a a more refined meal, there is an excellent restaurant only 2 mins walk from the hotel called 'The Bianconi', which has a beautiful menu that aspires to the level of fine dining found in cities such as Galway and Dublin. It's a favourite amongst locals and was almost full when we visited on a Thursday evening. Highly recommended. Other than that, there are a multitude of food options, both in Killorglin, and the surrounding area including "Bunker's Bar and Restaurant" in Killorglin proper, and the 4 star Glenbeigh Hotel a mere 10-15 mins drive west. Overall, Kingston's is an excellent base of operations for solo travellers and couples who wish to explore Killorglin, the Macgillicuddy Reeks, Rossbeigh, Killarney National Park, or even the Dingle peninsula. It's a place of comfort and tranquility nestled amongst some of the most beautiful natural scenery that Ireland has to offer. In terms of improvements I would like to see, a more rounded offering of food at meal times would be desirable, and would almost certainly help to bring in more business during the off-season.

22/11/2024: I decided to try the Kingdom 1995 restaurant in Killorglin on one of my visits to Kerry a few weeks ago, I was unfortunately underwhelmed by the entire experience. The decor was beautiful. The soup I ordered had a nice flavour but was counterbalanced by too much stock or salt. The bread although warm, was burnt on the crust. The Wagyu beef Blade known for its high fat content, whilst had a buttery taste, didn’t sit well in my stomach & I felt ill.. The dessert I ordered was lovely though. Hard to believe for a menu so expensive that water doesn’t come free with your meal. This is something you pay extra for despite all the rain they have in Kerry! The owner herself has a somewhat sweet and sour personality & glimmers of this was seen during the entire experience from the booking to leaving the restaurant. Would I come back or recommend it? No, unfortunately not.

17/10/2024: The reviews are slightly exaggerated; so many glowing reviews are somewhat questionable. The food was decent, but definitely not Michelin quality. We had to wait half an hour, while 2 tables were occupied, and it remained fairly empty during our stay. I don't think Suzi was there😂

07/04/2025: Pleasant staff. Good food. Seating in bar or diner. Sports shown on TVs throughout the day.

06/04/2025: Super typical pub, very good food. Not to be missed during your visit to Killorglin.

07/01/2025: I had a mashed potato crust, mushrooms, tomatoes, and cheese pie (or maybe it was a quiche?) while the hubs had the hearty roast beef sandwich. Hands down, the absolute BEST lunch we could EVER have hoped for! The bread was light and soft-yet toasty in the outside & the potato pie had this buttery type crust that alone would make the most uptight human swoon! I simply cannot say enough about this astounding place. Do not miss it-this is a must stop!! You will leave happy, full, and feel blessed.

04/10/2024: Delicious pastries, pleasant service, convenient location, I’ll be back again! Great pastries, nice service, convenient location, I will come back again!✨️

02/05/2025: Really good venue. We were still hungry after our meal. Cheese plate, extremely disappointing. Did you lease the restaurant? We were there on Easter Sunday for a concert with meal.

19/03/2025: Iarla Ó Lionáird in concert brilliant 👏 Very nice venue!
