Caragh Restaurant & Lounge Bar — Restaurant in Killarney Municipal District

Our last visit here was in 2023 and at that point we had been to this restaurant on multiple different occasions. The staff were always friendly and the food was good. However, we went a few days ago and noticed it was extremely quiet, which was unusual as every other time it had always been packed. We went in anyway and immediately when we got seated the staff that we had serving us were extremely stand offish for no reason. We brushed this off as a once off but throughout our time there this stand-offish behaviour continued. They had no problem complaining about customers who had just paid and left because they had a small complaint about their food. Immediately soured our experience as we thought it was very unprofessional to give out about customers IN FRONT of the other customers who were already there. At that point we had ordered so we stayed. The food was only ok. It's obvious that between this visit and our last visit in 2023 something changed as not only had the staff changed in attitude but the atmosphere and quality of food had also changed. We will not be coming back and advise other people...

Definitely a 5 star. We went with our 18 month old daughter after being to 2 other restaurants and being so let down with being ignored for 20 min and leaving and put into a squashed booth with the other. No consideration at all for our needs. We thankfully went to Caragh regretting that we didnt waste time and went there first. The food was outstanding. So wholesome for our daughter and myself as a vegan with the vegan stir fry was outstanding and it's so hard to find somewhere where you leave so happy. The Turkey n ham was so soft and delicious and my daughter loved also. This restaurant needs more than a 5* with the lovely lady that served us. So clean, so friendly and the food, oh my God, we will be back. I loved it and I work in hospitality, ye all deserve a massive high 5. Thank you for working so hard and giving us a...

This is a gem of an eatery. Great service, decent prices and completely delicious home cooked food. No picky gastro pub micro portions here - Generous plates of Irish beef stew, fish pie, lamb shank, cottage pie. Simple food maybe, but our beef stew was cooked to perfection - a sixteen euro bargain!

If the main was good cooking at its best the Aran Isa was a triumph. What the hell is Aran Isa? You may well ask.

A mix of generous chunks of smoked and fresh fish on garlic bread flavoured with the juice of the house chowder, covered in a white wine and cream sauce and topped with melted cheddar.

This was a starter from heaven -va bit of classy invention from "the boss" - it sang with garlic and umami and was one of the best dishes I've...
