Kenmare
Selected entries from the current guide for Kenmare.
Kenmare, Ireland
Landline sits within the Park Hotel on Shelbourne Street, Kenmare, where the dining room is decorated with original works by Irish artist Sean Scully, the restaurant takes its name from one of his pieces. The kitchen holds a Michelin Plate (2025) and works through prime Irish produce with precise technique, while the wine list draws heavily on classic vintages. Chef Maxime Leconte leads a menu where the coast is never far from the plate.
Kenmare, Ireland
On a quiet stretch of Henry Street in Kenmare, Lagom has earned a reputation that travels well beyond Kerry. Brendan and Liz Byrne's restaurant with rooms is built around live-fire cooking, where smoke and char become primary seasoning rather than theatrical flourish. The breakfasts alone draw return visits, but it is the evening kitchen that has made Lagom the answer many Wild Atlantic Way travellers give when asked where they ate best.
Kenmare, Ireland
A fixture on Main Street since 1995, Mulcahys has earned its place in Kenmare's dining life through consistent, hearty cooking grounded in local beef and seafood. The bar draws locals for cocktails and snacks while the dining room invites longer evenings. A 2025 Michelin Plate recognises the kitchen's command of classic flavours delivered through quality-first ingredients.
Kenmare, Ireland
An Nead (Little Nest) Café belongs to Kenmare’s quieter daytime rhythm, where cafés read the town through local produce, weather, walkers, and Main Street traffic rather than through formal dining signals. With no public awards or chef-led tasting format attached, its value is in how it fits the Kerry café tradition: informal, ingredient-led, and useful between the Ring of Kerry, Beara, and a longer restaurant evening.
Kenmare, Ireland
On Kenmare's Main Street, Lily House draws from the same West Kerry larder that defines the town's stronger dining scene: Atlantic seafood, local farms, and a kitchen that treats proximity as a method rather than a marketing point. In a town where the gap between casual and serious cooking has narrowed considerably, Lily House occupies a considered middle ground worth understanding before you book.

Kenmare, Ireland
Operating since 1897 and set above Kenmare Bay in County Kerry, Park Hotel Kenmare is a Relais & Châteaux member with 46 rooms and suites renovated by designer Bryan O'Sullivan to sit between Victorian heritage and contemporary comfort. The SÁMAS Spa, Landline restaurant, and one of Europe's larger whiskey collections give it a depth that few Irish country-house hotels can match at this scale.
Kenmare, Ireland
A townhouse retreat on Kenmare's Main Street, The Lansdowne occupies the former town residence of the Earl of Shelbourne. Reimagined as a refined, calming base in the heart of one of Kerry's most appealing heritage towns, it sits steps from the boutiques, art galleries, and traditional pubs that define Kenmare's compact centre.
