The Murphy family's cosy first floor Killarney restaurants elegant black furniture, polished floors, bare tables and blinds mean that a lot of hard surfaces all add up to a good bit of noise, but nobody seems to mind.
Roast breast of Carrigcleena Aylesbury Duck with mulled blackberries, roast pumpkin puree, apple & lime jel is a speciality but this does not do the restaurant justice as menus offer many more appealing dishes - tender whiskey & Calvados braised pork belly, for example, outstanding steaks and an attractively presented hot seafood platter; this is a selection that may include prawns (probably of the tiger variety, alas) fresh salmon, monkfish, scallops, crisp fried calamari, baked oysters with chorizo, and mussels and it is served with tarragon & wholegrain mustard and spicy tomato relish.
Good food, together with great service and value ensure that this cheerful place is always packed - even on weekdays, when other restaurants may not be busy, there’s lots of buzz, so reservations are strongly advised.
