There is a restaurant side where you can sit down and order and a deli side where you can go up to the counter and order. Our waitress was very sweet, attentive, and nice. I ordered the lunch special of spaghetti carbonara. It was simply delicious. You could taste the freshness of the eggs and bacon. I liked the addition of the mushrooms as well. I couldn't skip on dessert after passing by the counter and seeing all the cakes and pies. Ordered an apple pie with cream and it was great. They warmed it up and it melted in your mouth! You could tell it was made fresh daily. Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant if you are in Castleisland!

While we were only in Killarney for a couple of days/nights, we made it point to enjoy as many…read morelocal spots as possible. This meant loosened belts and full bellies most of our time in the city and we couldn't have been happier! On our second night in town, we were after an early dinner as we had plans at another local pub later in the evening. After a stroll around town, Mad Monk was the spot! Apparently Quinlan's is a small chain with several spots around Ireland, and after popping in, we can tell why. The thing that stood out the most for us at Mad Monk was the freshness of all the goods, specifically the seafood. I enjoy a good grilled or pan seared fish filet, but being in Ireland, it was my mission to try as many fish and chips as I could, and Mad Monk was next on the list! Before we dove into our mains, we did order one of the only non-seafood dishes on the menu, the braised beef croquettes. They were absolutely tasty, and set up our mains very well! We both went with the traditional fish and chips. The fish was perfectly fried and flaky and the tartar sauce was *chefs kiss*! I will say, as with most chips around the island, the chips were a bit underwhelming. They were slightly crispy and fluffy inside, but I am not a huge fan of steak fries and they definitely could have used a bit more seasoning. Service was solid, efficient and friendly. The space is quaint, bright and sleek. Lots of woods and blues, which definitely give the vibes of seafood. Overall, Mad Monk was a solid spot and one we glad we visited during our short stay in Killarney!

We are glad that we went to Sean's pub in the evening. We had wanted to hear some live Irish music and lo and behold they had it the night we went. They have live music on Mondays and Fridays. The atmosphere was quaint with a warm feel. The food and service were exceptional! We had the Warm Goats Cheese Crostini and Fish Cakes which were recommended by Sean. They were both very tasty and we highly recommend both! All of the beer tasted fantastic! They must be really diligent about cleaning their draught lines! The pint of Guinness was the best I had in Ireland including the brewery itself! They had beer from a craft brewery called McGargles. The pale ale from them was very tasty! All in all this is a great little pub and not to be missed while in Adare!

But I am a huge fan of the Brown Bread and the Smoked Salmon has been fantastic. Again, I was not disappointed, my meal was great. The prawns and the salmon were both great and the bread was a thick cut slice which added to the meal. I'm a fan!

Fancy restaurant !…read more We really loved the atmosphere there, the decoration were different that the other pub in Ireland. I would say it is more like a "gastro pub". At the point that from the outside, we were asking ourself if we were not dressing too casually... But you just need to enter and you'll see normal people, enjoying a drink or food. The food is nice and elaborated, I remember that they had a nice choice of wine and beer as well. They cooked my meet perfectly, as I would eat it in France. Regarding desserts, they were not the best but my fiancée enjoyed them so bad ! So I guess some are good and some are not that tasty... Pretty expensive for a whole diner, but you pay the unique architecture and the "fanciness" of the place...

The antipasto is very tasty and highly recommended. The frutta di mare dish was alittle disappointing it lacked flavor and the prawns and mussels were small, considering it was the highest cost item on the menu they can use larger ingredients. We had a group of 12 and the place was not that busy during dinner, we asked the waitress if the chef can come out and see us so we could complement some of his dishes and she comes back saying we can stop by the kitchen on our way out! Really! We probably spent the most money that evening. Sounds like the owner chef needs some training in restaurant hospitality and the waitress lost an opportunity for a 20% tip. This is what happens when tips are not part of their compensation in Ireland. Anyway good food for sure.
