The best restaurants in Killorglin

19/12/2024: Shocking. I was tempted to review this restaurant in July when I arrived for lunch at 11.50 and was refused by the waiter exclaiming “LUNCH STARTS AT 12” Today I arrived with my mom for a soup at midday and was refused by a member of staff at the door stating “reservations only”. This is absolutely SHOCKING in a small town like Killorglin. They totally could have taken our custom today but instead denied our custom. Is it any wonder restaurants are closing down left right and center with business attitudes like this.

17/12/2024: Really good experience at The Bianconi Inn, both the Hotel and the Restaurant. The rooms are very spacious and food options at the restaurant are delicious. We took the seafood platter and the fish and chips. Both were really good. I can truly recommend this establishment to anyone passing by Killorglin.

17/12/2024: One of the best fish and chips we've had in Ireland. There are a few tables to sit at or you can take everything home. The fish was of high quality and we were able to watch it being prepared. The price is completely reasonable. The service was 1a with stars!

18/10/2024: Food is exceptional and very lovely. Portions are large. We got a lot of food for the price. Highly suggest bringing your appetite. Sauces are all delightful as well.

18/12/2024: Great place to stay! Cozy rooms with a lovely restaurant.

10/11/2024: Fantastic stay! I'll be back! Treated like I was a local! Thanks Tom & Paul!

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😂

12/01/2025: Sound bar, nice pints served by friendly staff.

27/12/2024: Great pub/restaurant with excellent options for breakfast, lunch and pints. Well located in the main street of Killorglin. In our case, in a Friday morning it was not hard to find a parking space just in front of the place. They have menu kids available. Staff is very attentive and helpful and prices are fair. Recommend.

30/12/2024: One of the best restaurants I've ever eaten in. An absolutely fantastic experience - great atmosphere, incredibly friendly staff and everyone at our table loved every dish.

14/12/2024: Had our Christmas party here last night, food was a poor standard, a black pudding sandwich with white slice pan, it wasn't brioche as said on the menu,Chicken skewers were frozen that are sold in every deli counter in the country. The Turkey dinner was poor as I've ever had, butterfly turkey with loads of stuffing and bacon, just give people traditional T&H. It was away from the previous meal we had there couple of years ago.

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!✨️

20/05/2024: Good place to go with very friendly staff. Live music on the weekends.

27/09/2024: This is a great breakfast spot that is priced right, has great service, and a lovely location. Off the beaten track? Yes! But, well worth the diversion. Then go next door for some amazing smoked salmon!

22/09/2024: Great breakfast. Stopped on Sunday morning, the restaurant was not to crowded with seats inside and outside available. One of us had the French toast and reported it was fantastic
