Eating Out
Wherever you are in Kerry you will find excellent and varied restaurants and pubs offering delicious seafood & quality local produce. The convivial atmosphere of the Irish pub is legendary and the whole family can be assured of a very warm welcome. Kerry people are known for their friendliness and witty turn of phrase... you will be drawn into lively conversation with the locals, so make new friends ... and enjoy the 'craic' (fun) & stories! Don't forget to join in a live ballad session at one of the pubs...There are always 2-3 very talented musicians playing - and singing - at our local pub, 'The Blind Piper' - on Thursday evenings, starting at about 9pm... but get there in good time as it does get very crowded! Below we have listed our visitors' and our own favourite eating places in the locality. New ones keep 'popping up', so please let us know of any others you have tried and would recommend to our visitors.
