Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Kenmare

"When you go to a pub and The Ring of Kerry is on its doorstep, you know you've done pretty bloody well. Known as having the best boxty (potato cakes) in Ireland, Bricin is as much of a favourite with locals as it is with tourists – meaning you know it's legit."

"A truly unique pub that’s a definite must-visit in Killarney. The Shire was named after the homeland of the hobbits in Middle Earth, a fictional world created by the late great J. R. R. Tolkien in his fantasy book series Lord of The Rings."

"That’s lobster meat simmered in a cream-and-cognac sauce and served back in its shell, a specially delicious invention by Gaby’s Belgian owner-chef. Naturally, food like this doesn’t come cheap. Take your pick from the seafood platter (seven or eight kinds of fish in a cream-and-wine sauce), fish dishes, a selection of fillet and sirloin steaks or the herb-scented rack of lamb."

"Gaby's is a refined dining experience serving superb seafood in a traditional manner. Peruse the menu by the fire before drifting past the wine racks to the low-lit dining room to savour exquisite dishes such as..."

This sounds more like a place where you’d typically hang out with friends and it truly is. Its location in a town that’s part of the Ring of Kerry makes it a wonderful place to be if you’re going pub hopping."

"The Lane Café Bar features both great food and creative cocktails, what more could you want?. Adjacent to the Ross Hotel, it’s right in the town centre, perfect if you want to go bar hopping or be sure of finding a taxi at the end of the night. It’s a brilliant place to meet up with the girls for some food and drinks."

"This restaurant was recommended to us by the bartender after our tour at Killarney Brewing Company. He mentioned how busy it can get as it is a local favorite, when we arrived they didn’t have a table for us. They were incredibly kind in asking us to wait, explore town for 30 minutes and when we come back they will have a table saved for us."

"Lakeside Ross Castle dates back to the 15th century, when it was a residence of the O'Donoghue family. It was the last place in Munster to succumb to Cromwell's forces, thanks partly to its cunning spiral staircase, every step of which is a different height in order to break an attacker's stride. The castle is a lovely 2.6km walk or bike ride southwest of the St Mary's Cathedral pedestrian park entrance; you may well spot deer along the way."

"So we opted to explore Killarney National Park a bit, which included a tour of Ross Castle and a visit to Muckross House and its gardens. Ross CastleMuckross House"
