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 ☹️

24/07/2026: Great little cafe, nice ambience, great food and service

24/07/2026: Had a great breakfast - best porridge I’ve had for years.

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

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

10/07/2026: Amazing coffee ,Amazing Service

25/06/2026: Nice little place, delicious ice coffee

29/06/2026: Super friendly staff. Huge thank you the bar men last night especially mason for his kindness and banter with the kids.would really recommend this hotel. Only flaw was there's no pool other than that perfect holiday. Would highly recommend.

18/06/2026: It is utterly unacceptable that the designated smoking area is positioned directly alongside the main entrance ramp. This layout forces guests, including those with infants in strollers, to navigate through clouds of second-hand smoke just to enter the property. For families traveling with babies or young children, I would strongly advise seeking alternative accommodations. Such a design flaw is entirely unacceptable by modern hospitality standards.

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!

15/07/2026: Hot Chocolate was unreal. Never had such a hot chocolate anywhere else. Would highly recommend. Only downside is that there is no seating area.

04/07/2026: Coffee was nice. Traybakes had mostly gone by the time I ordered. Small place, no toilets but public ones 5mins walk away. Benches outside are the only seats available. Otherwise walk 2mins to the park and enjoy al fresco coffee.

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!

06/08/2026: Great place to meet up with friends. Guaranteed to have the rugby showing 😊

30/07/2026: Garry has an incredible wealth of knowledge of the area and was incredible in helping us find new places to enjoy in the Dingle Peninsula area. He was a joy to talk to and it's easy to see how he's been doing this for so long.

05/08/2026: I stopped in Tralee this morning and asked a lovely tall young lady where I could find a coffee shop, a good one if possible. She told me about Maddens ,even offered to walk me to it. I found it easy with her directions. Thank you so much. It wasn't a good coffee shop It was a great coffee shop, one of the best. Well worth a finding on your trips to kerry. Great coffee, sweet things and a great social space. Keep up the great work.

26/07/2026: 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.

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.

23/07/2026: Great food and service. First visit I will be returning.

18/07/2026: We arrived at Gally’s for lunch after a walk and had built up quite an appetite. The warm welcome on arrival was much appreciated. We ordered the roast beef and chicken supreme, and the service was quick. The meal was fresh and very tasty. The beef was soft and tender, while the chicken paired perfectly with the pepper sauce. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

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
