We popped in on Halloween weekend while visiting family and were delighted to be recommended this lovely little spot. I highly recommend this restaurant. The staff were friendly and the ambience was perfect. The food however, was absolutely incredible. It's certainly one of the best restaurant experiences I've had. View all feedback.

We were planning on just having small plates, but ended up having three courses because every bite of food was outstanding. The Sea Bass and Irish Stew were delicious, and the sushi and oyster small plates were also quite tasty! Killarney is fortunate to have a talented chef like Seamus. We will certainly be returning.
The food and selection at this restaurant were both very unique and delicious. We started with the chicken of the woods appetizer, which was unexpectedly tasty for a mushroom dish. In addition to inventive dishes like this, they also offered classics such as Irish stew. Overall, everything we tried was good and reasonably priced.
The man at Killarney Park was right - this restaurant is different in the best way possible. They offer unique combinations of flavors that are well-presented and absolutely delicious. We will definitely be returning, as the food was outstanding. The service was discreet and friendly, and the prices were reasonable. If only it were a bit closer to the city center, it would be packed every night! A definite 9 out of 10 rating. Thank you for a wonderful evening.
Had dinner here last night, sublime flavours, the boxty was excellent and the steak cooked to perfection . Siobhan looked after us very well. Prices are very reasonable considering the ingredients used and the chefs talent. Highly recommend
We tried 5 different restaurants in Killarney for dinner. They were all okay . Some had great starters and mediocre mains, the other ones boring starters and great mains. And none of them had a good dessert. That all changed when we sat down at the Malarkey. Starter, main, dessert everything was just perfect. For us it 's the best restaurant in town. And it 's a pleasure to chat with humorous and witty host.

Nice dinner with excellent, friendly staff and beautiful ambience. Delicious, well prepared food you fill. Get the set menu to sample a range of inspired local dishes.
Pumped into this restaurant while in the streets of Killarney, while hungry. A steep €30, but no regret. I enjoyed my monk's fried bone. Insert all relevant foodie adjectives here, as I soon get out, it was a chic restaurant :
I was sitting for Dad's dinner and as usual. I have absolutely amazed with food and service. Top class, one of the MUST TO VISIT spots in Killarney. Loved the back garden!
My husband was 10 years cook, we've been married for 5 years, and that's the first time we were in a restaurant where I felt the court was better than he did. I had the Trip Tip Steak blue with Portichini sauce and the cook grilled it with Beachwood... Delicious!!!
Off the beaten path but so worth the walk from High Street downtown. Unassuming facade but a surprising elegantly decorated interior. The Lobster Bisque was delicious. Very tender Smoked Bacon and Cabbage. Beautiful vibrant paintings displayed on the walls.
