Description

The Scarriff Inn, located along the Ring of Kerry, offers efficient service and delicious food, making it a popular stop for tour groups. While the prices may be a bit high, the stunning views of the bay and hills more than make up for it. The Shepherd's Pie was a standout dish, with a side salad adding freshness to the meal.

The Scarriff Inn is a must-stop destination on the Ring of Kerry, famous for what it calls Ireland 's Best Known View . This family-run spot in Caherdaniel overlooks the stunning Kenmare Bay and Derrynane. The Experience The View: Breathtaking, million-dollar vistas of the Atlantic coast and lush green hills are the main draw. The Vibe: It operates as a busy, well-organized stop primarily for tour groups, featuring a cafeteria-style setup designed to get large crowds in and out efficiently. The Food: While some find the quality average or tourist-priced, others highly recommend the Seafood Chowder, Irish Lamb Stew, and Shepherd’s Pie. Added Perks: There is a large gift shop filled with local souvenirs and Skellig-themed items, as well as a cozy fireplace for blustery days. Pro Tip: If you want a window seat with a view, try to arrive either very early or late to avoid the peak tour bus hours

We ate lunch here as part of a Ring of Kerry tour. Good food, great views, unique stop. Would visit again!

Here, I ate the driest scone of my life. It came with jam from a mini plastic packet. The view was truly amazing, but the rest of the place is geared toward tour groups. In my opinion, the value for money isn't right.
