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 tried two new unique flavors and ordered my safe choice - pistachio. I was a tad upset to see it was green but it was light green so that's a tad better. I loved that there were tiny chunks of pistachios mixed in. It wasn't overly sweet and the texture was grand. It didn't melt fast. I ordered my scoop in a cone but I don't think they are freshly made. Regardless, this is probably the best you can get in Cork. I had pistachio gelato in a restaurant and it sucked compared to this.

I legitimately have dreams about this ice cream. I'm crying a little bit right now because I'm…read morethinking about it's but it's so far away. Annie's is super cute, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and made it feel like home. There was an abundance of choices--I chose lemon meringue because I love all things lemon and am highly critical of them--and I was not disappointed with my choice. My friend got the bannoffee and was equally happy with her choice, and it was all for a reasonable price. We strolled around town with our delicious treat and now the memory haunts me. So, to recap: the service was excellent, the ice cream delicious, and the prices fair. Run, don't walk!

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!

I heard from friends only good things about the new FROYO shop in Cork City. So I had to try the…read morefrozen yogurt shop finally myself. The first impression entering the shop is great: it's bright, funky and spotless. There are seats in the front (I liked especially the cosy seat in front of the mirror :-) ). The staff was very friendly and helpful to show me how it works. There is a choice of 3 cup sizes - but in the end you pay per weight anyway. So the cup size is only there to limit yourself to overindulge. The froyo self-serve machines are in the back and I had 10 flavours to choose from (even 2 vegan options). Then I had to choose from the 18 different toppings - not easy :-) ... the result looked fantastic and the taste was fabulous. Really liked it. I'd go for this delicious froyo anytime instead of ice cream. Overall I can only highly recommend this place. And I'll be surely a regular customer in the shop.

All the meat is Irish, the fish from Star Seafoods, a local Kenmare fishmonger, and the produce is from the Wild Irish Way (coastal western Ireland) wherever possible. I had two "starters" for my lunch, both specials so I can't get the details from the menu now. The first was a baked goat cheese and chorizo tart. Made with a phyllo pastry, and served over greens. Everything about it was perfect: the phyllo so light that it shattered when cut yet it wasn't dry. The cheese was golden brown on top from broiling. The chorizo was in tiny pieces scattered on top so it didn't overwhelm. The two or three kinds of lettuce greens underneath were light and delicate. My other dish was a fish cake, fish and potatoes actually. Fried to a beautiful golden brown, drizzled with a balsamic vinegar sauce, and served over more of those excellent greens, this time dressed with vinaigrette. The dill on top was more than a decoration, it was lighter in flavor than most, and the flavor complemented well. It was a very attractive presentation; even the dish it was served on was pretty. I didn't try the wife's Cottage Pie: minced steak and potatoes topped with mashed potatoes and Dublin Cheddar but she did like it. And it was also attractive, with the potato crust ruffled and the peaks perfectly browned. Garnished with parsley. Like my dishes, visually beautiful. We shared a banoffie pie for dessert. This is uncommon in the US but I might compare it to a banana cream pie with caramel sauce addition. Ok but not really my thing, and too much cream filling for the amount of crust. That's all I remember about this great meal. Looking at the menu just now I don't see my items on the menu as they were specials. I was surprised and pleased by the prices of the standard items, most of which were below average for the area, especially for a place that describes itself a "gastropub".
