Each dinner had plentiful sides of potatoes, carrots, green beans, parsnips and red cabbage. Everything was fresh, abundant and delicious. The service was very good.

We very highly recommend Murphy's Restaurant to everyone coming to the Beara Peninsula.

This review is for the restaurant not the pub. We came for lunch and found all the usual Irish pub…read moreofferings. The pie of the day, not on the menu, was steak and kidney, which I had to try "for research purposes". The pastry crust extended to the sides and bottom so it fully enclosed the filling and was served "freestanding". Crust and gravy were excellent. In the filling, both the steak and the kidneys were plentiful. My research completed, I probably wouldn't order it again; just give me the steak - no more kidneys please! Nevertheless I did enjoy and finished it. This was served with decent fries and a truly excellent green salad: a variety of leafy greens, radishes, cucumbers, pickled onions, and pre-dressed with a vinaigrette. The wife had the Beef & Guinness Casserole, served with brown bread. Along with steak there were also plentiful veggies (root vegetables and celery) and mashed potatoes in the center. She liked it. I tried it and agreed. I would get that next time. I had a Jameson Old Fashioned to drink and it was the best Old Fashioned I've had in some time. The unusually large twisted orange peel probably contributed and it may have had more than the customary amount of bitters. The wife's tea was amusingly served with a knitted "cozy" keeping the teapot hot. For dessert we shared a Sticky Toffee Pudding, served with vanilla ice cream, attractively presented with a dusting of sugar, whipped cream, and a ground cherry complete with its leaves. I'd rate it second among the three I've tried so far. Would certainly order it again. As for the pub I can't say. It has a reputation for good traditional Irish music every night but unfortunately not until 9:30, way too late for us. Sadly we're just not pub people.

Technically not wrong, but misleading on purpose. My friend ordered a medium steak for thirty euros and they gave it to her well-done. The fries were the best part of the meal. I saw one of the employees--presumably the manager--chug two drinks on the job??? Is that legal????? The food took a long time getting there and we had to wait 10 minutes before we even got into the building, so it's not very accommodating for a group of people. The chairs were comfortable and the employees seemed nice, but most of them very much didn't know what they were doing.

We were craving more seafood and the menu had lots of great options to choose from. We started with the drunken mussels which had a tasty broth but the mussel meat was a bit small. The hake special was perfectly cooked and paired with fingerling potatoes and a side of carrots. I believe this was my first time eating hake. The seafood linguine had a deliciously different taste that we liked. Service was very good throughout and ambiance was nice and cozy. Those with reservations got escorted up to the second floor which would definitely be a lot quieter. Overall a very filling meal and a little bummed that we could not fit in dessert.

A Fantastic Dining Experience at Bricin!…read more A huge shoutout to Johnny McGuire for making our evening unforgettable! My husband and I were on the lookout for a dinner spot and didn't realize we needed a reservation. Luckily, we stumbled upon Bricin around 6:30 pm, right at the peak of dinner time. We were warmly greeted by the staff and asked to wait just a bit to see if they could fit us in. After a brief 15 minutes, Johnny worked his magic and found us a lovely table for two. Our server, Elizabeth, was absolutely wonderful! She made us feel right at home as we settled in for what turned out to be an incredible meal. I chose the Pork Apricot, while my husband enjoyed the Oven Roasted Duck Breast, both accompanied by generous servings of fresh vegetables and mashed potatoes. Every bite was perfection! With our bellies full and happy, we left to continue our vacation adventure, but not without emphasizing how much we appreciated Johnny and the amazing team at Bricin. We truly felt the warmth of an Irish welcome. If you're in town, make sure to stop by--you won't regret it! #Bricin #DiningExperience #IrishHospitality #GratefulCustomer
