After pulling into the spacious car park, I still had my doubts that this place was open. But it was - hurrah! The place was spotless. The loo was spotless. The server friendly. Good first impression. I went for a chicken burger meal and my partner a cheese burger meal. It was good, it's not exactly gourmet, but as good as any good fast food joint in Ireland gets. Recommended.

We starting with a fish cake, that was quite good and included a tangy sweet sauce and a small salad with it. We got the fish cake as the first course of a two-course special. The main entreé was a Hake fish. It was an incredibly light and flaky white fish, that was served with a side salad and side of mash. There were two filets, however it appears one of the filets was not de-boned, which required some extra work on my part. Though, the flavor was fantastic. The sticky toffee pudding was mostly okay, but there was a burnt bitterness to it that was a touch off-putting. Ultimately, it was still satisfactory. Unfortunately, the service here was quite slow. It was difficult to get a waiter's attention for a dessert menu, and I was unable to flag down a waiter to put in my dessert order. After a few failed attempts I went up to the bar to do so. ...And to get the card machine to pay. Also, it really speaks to if you're in a touristy section of town when there's a notice about gratutites not being included. And it was only the 2nd time in my two weeks here that I was asked if I'd like to add a tip. I realize the tone of this review is rather negative because of the bad service on the night, but the food itself was rather good, despite being pricey for the portion provided. The quality of the fish alone is holding onto that fourth star by a thread. Would've been an easy five if the service was up to snuff though.

Which is surprising and pretty cool! 1* For the cappuccino : We are big fans of good auld cappuccino. This one was definitely one of the best we have ever tasted. Why? Creamy but not too much. Hot but not 'tongue-burning' hot. We didn't have the chance to eat there but if we ever go back to Dingle, we will give it a try :) 1* For the toilet : Perfect condition! To be noted. 1* For the staff : Friendly, fast, very good really. 1* For the overall experience : We did spend some time sipping our cappuccino. We would have never imagined enjoying this place as much as we did. I highly recommend it, at least for the cappuccino :D Let me know if you have any questions and I will get back to you asap !

The food was top notch, I had the lamb burger and Herself had the calamari, she of course liked mine better but that's marriage for you. The decor is homey and inviting, with a small pile of books on food or travel arranged on each table for diners to peruse. The staff is friendly and the owner's father was minding the place the night we were in and spent plenty of time chatting with us and asking us about our travels. He was also happy to talk about the food, the butcher who sourced the lamb, the fish supplier, and I've just enough Foodie knowledge to feel it wasn't a bunch of Blarney but a genuine desire to supply the best local products available. Note: as of this writing, they're a cash only business, a fact that they should mention either via discreet sign or in an obvious place on the menu. Bottom Line: I didn't mention the desert because I'll afraid every ELSE will go there and they'll run out of the delicious chocolate tarte..D'OH!

Note: all my recent vacation in Ireland Yelp reviews will have the same 1st paragraph preamble, for…read morejust the review itself skip to the 2nd paragraph. On a whirlwind 2 week vacation to Ireland, the girlfriend & I tried to see & experience absolutely as much of this incredible land as we could. We did not accomplish every last activity we wished we could have on our rather ambitious itinerary. Nonetheless, we did discover a land of numerous stunning & magical wonders. We did see a land of unending natural beauty. We did learn of a land with a monumentally long history of trials, tragedies & triumphs. We did get to meet many kind, humorous, warm & generous people. Our vacation to Ireland was just 2 weeks, but that was time enough to know this is a land easy to love & a land to be sorely missed. As the old adage goes, "when in Rome, do as the Romans do." For me, a variant philosophy of this phrase that I like to live by is "when traveling, eat where the locals eat." Our 1st morning in Killarney, the girlfriend & I went down to city center to get some breakfast & found Chateau Café. Tucked into a shopping arcade next to a grocery, Chateau Café did take some finding as we walked right by it before seeing it. Inside was a comfortable but no-frills eatery. The girlfriend & I both ordered the Jumbo Breakfast (3 sausage, 2 rashers, black & white puddings, egg, toast, beans, chips, OJ & coffee (or tea)) from a cafeteria-style counter. Our orders were brought to our table shortly & it was a seriously big & hearty breakfast. All of it was good & very satisfying, too satisfying perhaps as we both fought food coma the rest of the morning. Not being a tourist spot, our food was cheaper than anywhere else in town we had seen. We ate breakfast here again during our stay in Killarney & even grabbed Breakfast Sandwich & Sweet Chili Chicken sandwich takeaway for one of our long road trip sightseeing days. Again, everything was good & cheap. Chateau Café was our go-to spot for breakfast & takeaway in Killarney.

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!

Yes, it's that good! The food may be a bit on the pricey side of things, but it's worth every cent. I still dream of their chili fries. I'm not even kidding! They're the first (and so far only) chili fries I've had that managed to be really delicious and absolutely not soggy. And hell, the burgers. Just as amazing, but I'm just a big fan of the chili fries. Definitely need to go back there again, and anyone who has not eaten at Eddie Rocket's is missing out BIG TIME.
