The best restaurants in Tralee

09/07/2026: This place is old school food done well. It felt like being back at my grandmothers house. Had the soup and steak and both were delicious. The side veg was great too. Nothing fancy, nice ingredients, well cooked. There are a few religious statues pictures up around the place but this just enhanced the old school Ireland atmosphere.

08/07/2026: We were in Tralee for the night and went to Cassidys as the reviews were good! The food was delicious, seafood was super fresh and the waiting staff were very friendly. We had the chowder and crab claws to start, and the sea bass and carbonara for mains. The only downside for me was how slow it was between courses (40 minutes). I understand they were busy, however, other tables around us were getting their main courses much faster than us so it felt as though there may have been a mixup!

18/07/2026: First time at this restaurant. Val the owner was so welcoming and friendly. The food was fabulous, very reasonable. Three main courses, three desserts and three drinks, €94. If you are a coeliac, then you have a whole section of the menu to yourself 💕💕💕. Happy days.. we will certainly be back again . Thanks so much. Oh and a lovely birthday message and candle and a birthday song with my dessert 🌹

12/07/2026: The worst carbonara ever. Irish Rashers in a Italian dish? Big No . Never again Smell of cigarettes inside the restaurant ☹️

20/05/2026: Beautiful hotel heaven on earth

18/05/2026: Stayed in the Rose Hotel on a Saturday night recently and from the moment at checkin we felt so welcome and at ease. I tour Ireland for a living and I thought the staff on reception, in the bar for dinner and at breakfast we so seasoned and professional it was impressive. At reception, from the warm welcome to assisting us with some items we'd forgotten, they were a great help. In the bar for food, they had GF options for our child and when one of us had to leave briefly, our food was kept warm (without asking) and their attention to us, engagement with our kids and prompt service really made it a great experience. At breakfast, we got a warm welcome, prompt service and the seperate GF buffet had our child beaming. Can't compliment the staff enough, a great mix of experience and new staff. Clearly comes from the top down. This level of hospitality is what Kerry is renowned for. Room also very comfortable. Highly recommend.

11/06/2026: Wonderful food and lovely helpful staff

31/05/2026: Highly recommend as a lunch option

07/07/2026: Fab wee bar. Visited here 2 separate nights on a recent stay in Tralee. The staff were lovely and so welcoming to us and the 2 dogs. Brilliant atmosphere. Definitely recommend

04/07/2026: Hidden gem in Tralee. Fantastic sports bar. Great amount of memorabilia. Everyone in the bar is super friendly. Highly recommend!

16/11/2025: One of the best coffee shops in the town.

05/11/2025: Stopped for a quick coffee & snack. Had veg soup, roast beef toastie, a couple coffees, all were very good! The service was warm and friendly!

02/07/2026: Their scones are absolutely delicious and the service is exceptional!

22/05/2026: My wife and I had a great time today (May 2026) at Rustic Boowa. We found this place via Google Map as one of the recommended brunch places, and there was absolutely no regret coming here. The food (the soup and the stew) was delicious and we also had açai and carrot cake for desserts. Coffee was also good. It was so good that we bought some salad, quiche, and bread for our dinner too. We also bought their granola/muesli to bring back to Singapore as well. Highly recommended if you want to eat healthy. Cheers! Nb. They also sell a bunch of food from Poland as the owners are Polish!

27/06/2026: Nice staff nice bar, always very welcoming. Best place Ever

23/06/2026: Excellent sandwich and hospitality

25/06/2026: Been here many times, the place is beautiful, and it’s clear a lot of heart goes into it, but the good vibes seem to stop here. I am always surprised by how indifferent and frosty the service is! No welcome, no good morning! Even when the customer first offers a greeting of hello, or how’s things, barely a response. Definitely not happy faces (today included). Customer gives thanks when picking up the coffees, no you are welcome, or have a good one from staff. Just frosty silence. I don’t get how a small town coffee shop gets away with lukewarm customer service. Truly can’t be bothered going here anymore.

20/06/2026: It's the most unassuming place from the outside with the look of an old school pub and has the most gorgeous decor inside. There's a great seating area out the back to sit and enjoy your coffee too. Staff are super friendly and coffee is delish. Also, try the biscoff brownie! 🤤

03/06/2026: Very good, although a bit far from the city centre.

01/06/2026: I can’t give enough starts for the meadowlands and their staff. Exceptionally clean, comfortable and welcoming. Great food and lovely bar. Highly recommend to anyone.

15/05/2026: I was in there on 3rd May 2026 with my family - food was lovely but the bar man was very rude towards my sister when she went to order drinks - the heavy bald fella I'm on about - we were not happy over this and thought about leaving to go somewhere else - in the end we stayed and the rest of the staff were very nice - I had an issue with him too back in November when I went in there on my own - he wasn't very welcoming towards me - please make him aware

22/04/2026: Lovely food , nice and clean and staff were great 👍

23/10/2025: €16 for a 9” pizza Charging different prices at the till to which is advertised on the overhead menu. Definitely not recommend

22/10/2025: €18.60 for a 7 inch pizza and a drink enough said a big board when you come in with different prices as to what they charge ridiculous

28/05/2026: Excellent service, friendly staff who were busy but made sure we were well looked after. We had the black and blue burger and the kingdom burger. Black and blue burger was great, Kingdom burger was fantastic, lots of flavour fresh chicken excellent.

28/05/2026: Another Irish pub with great food. But like most pubs we've visited, the meals are quite pricey by Canadian standards. But the food here (as with most pubs) is perfectly prepared and nicely presented. One BIG difference in an Irish pub is the speed of service. It seems no sooner do you order than the meal is brought out. And it never tastes like it's been sitting under warming lamps. Unbelievable service. The Brogue in was even faster than others. And I have to mention our waitress, Shauna, who was exceptional. Very attentive, friendly and helpful. All in all, an amazing dinner experience.

13/04/2026: If you have been to Tralee and haven't been to Sean Ógs, shame on you, if your going to Tralee and dont plan on visiting Sean Ógs, dont bother going to Tralee! BEST Guinness in town BEST music in town AMAZING atmosphere GO! YOU'LL LOVE IT!!! ,thank me later.

18/03/2026: Our go to spot whenever we're in lovely Tralee. The Guinness is delicious and one of the best pints I've ever had anywhere. The staff are all up for the craic and are very friendly. No food available but you come here for the music, the atmosphere and the lovely beer. Flash is the main man to go to if you need anything. Well worth a visit.

20/05/2026: Great coffee, lovely staff and a nice vibe.

15/05/2026: Best customer service in the country, homemade sausage rolls were absolutely 10/10. The pancakes were mid to be completely honest but the service and friendless was so great compared to anything I get in Dublin it’s a 5 star from me.
