This one had lines of which we were happy to wait, especially when they were handing out the free samples. Chocolate Whiskey (Teeling Whiskey), Kieran's Cookies, and Irish Brown Bread were our flavors of choice. Portions are a little small for what we paid, but this is kind of what one might expect with premium ice cream.

While visiting Killarney to ride the jaunting cars around the national park, I was recommended…read moreMurphy's Ice Cream by my tour guide. Ice cream is one of my many favorite types of desserts, and since County Kerry's cows are known for producing extra rich and creamy milk, I was really excited to get extremely creamed. The shop was very bright with a simple and natural design. They had some unique flavors like Honeycomb Caramel, Dingle Sea Salt, and Irish Brown Bread. The scoopers who helped me were very friendly and let me try as many flavors as I wanted. I finally decided on getting a small size of the Dingle Sea Salt and Kieran's Cookies in a cup. The ice cream was sweet and delicate, the Dingle Sea Salt had a very light salted vanilla flavor and Kieran's Cookies were like an Irish cookies n' creme. Because of all the hype on the creamiest milk being produced from around the county, I was getting ready for a creamsplosion up my yapper, but after my first lapping, I didn't think that that my scoops were as rich and creamy as other frozen novelties I've had the pleasure of savoring. But because their ice cream is said to be very natural, using only fresh ingredients from around Ireland, it might just be that my taste buds are already accustomed to over-processed artificial ingredients!

I like the place and that everything is made local from fresh milk and eggs. But frankly it was just OK. Much prefer our Graeter or Ben and Jerry's or Breyers. The flavor wasn't exceptional and not as creamy or rich ... maybe not as fattening either. Staff were very nice little fellas.

My go to flavors were Chocolate Whiskey and Kieran's Cookies. Gayle added Irish Brown Bread to that, plus a few other flavors that now escape me.

The price was slightly high for the amount of ice cream you get, but you're definitely getting quality over quantity! Staff was super friendly and helpful, made buying really pleasant!

It also is in the main location of Dingle and easy to walk around once you have your cup/cone Would definitely recommend this location for ice cream!

A-OK is exactly…read morehow I would describe this place - friendly staff, rough around the edges decor, and good food. I had a cosmo which I feel was out the bottle, way too sweet for being freshly made, not that great but having had a 5 hour drive it went down nicely. Then onto the starters, Alex had the mussels and begin I the baked Brie. The Brie was lovely and perfectly complemented by the cranberry sauce - the cheese literally burst out of its crunchy shell once cut into which I loved. I also tried the mussels, the sauce was rich and tomato-y but the dish wasn't warm enough which made me a tad nervous. Huge portions though! Next to the mains, this is where if I could, I would give it a 3.5. The lam shank was topped with onions and a thin gravy and then cooked in pasty = lamb shank meets beef Wellington. It was great, the lamb fell off the bone and it was really well cooked and juicy meat. Served on a bed of creamy mash and fresh veg. The veg was slightly under cooked sadly but the rest of the dish, fantastic! I tried some of Alex's ham hock and that too was great. Really flavoursome and soft meat - if, however, your not a big fan of Dijon mustard I wouldn't recommend as it's literally covered in it! All of the above including a pint came to around £60 which for the size of the portions and the overall quality we were happy with!
