Warm and kind staff, delicious food, all set in the glamour of a bygone Parisian salon, yet with the cosiness and relaxed atmosphere of home. We sank into lush armchairs and never wanted to leave! Will be back for midday catch ups and have my eye on the stunning events parlor for a special occasion. A real find! Thank you so much for treating us so well, we felt truely spoilt! Highly recommend!

Killarney Brewing Co has two locations in Killarney: the taphouse (beers only) and…read morebrewery/distillery (beers and liquors). We stopped by the taproom to try a flight of beer. Additionally, they had soda, wine, and pizzas. The inside had some of the beer machinery on display. They had some indoor seating, a decent patio, and around (8) beers in tap to try. We got the Full Circle IPA, Devil's Helles Lager, and Casey Brothers Extra Stout. A worker also gave us a free taster of the Spailpin Saison! At a separate time, we had also tried the Golden Spear Blonde Ale. All the beers were good! The flight came with a paper that described the flavors, hops included, and information on the beer. The merchandise section was low on stock so they recommended going to the brewery/distillery for anything you wanted to buy.

OLD MILLBANK SMOKEHOUSE A couple of weeks back, I enjoyed…read morethe Good Food Ireland plate for lunch at Nash 19. One of the items included was a smashing smoked salmon made by the Old Millbank Smokehouse in Buttevant. Geraldine Bass is the lady behind the Willow Pond enterprise and I spotted her stand at a recent Farmer's Market. Smoked Salmon and Trout were displayed but I was after something else and that was her Salmon Pâté. Four euro bought me a fine tub of it. Started it yesterday for lunch and we agreed that it was a class product, subtle yet strong enough. Great stuff and that will be finished off soon as a starter for our wet Friday night in.

A fabulous place for lunch in Milltown Malbay (home of famed piper Willie Clancy) if you're looking…read morefor something quick, cheap and filling. The sandwiches here are commendable. For less than €5 you can order beef, turkey, ham or chicken -- and they're all excellent. Thick, soft bread, generous salad fixings and coleslaw, and tender cured ham. Everyone in our family was impressed by the portion and quality of the sandwiches here -- you can eat-in or takeaway and the service was very friendly. They also have a tantalizing selection of pastries and light snacks. I tried a sausage roll (average) and some vegetable soup with brown bread. I sampled a few of the pastries. Would definitely recommend this place as a pit stop for lunch if you don't want to eat something upscale or in a pub. It will be on our list from now on!

Only in villages in rural Ireland do shops like this still exist and the spar in Glengarriff is a…read moreprime example of this Irish retail phenomenon. So its a spar but it's never called spar, it's always o'Sheas, nothing strange there, it does everything your normal spar does but it also does DVD rentals and then there is the Post Office in the back of the shop and that's where the uniqueness comes from, it's a multifunctional shop that caters for almost all of your needs! You can get your groceries, your entertainment for an evening including a bottle of wine and at the same time you can post a letter to your great aunt in somewhere or other and all in one shop! Brilliant! I like their little bakery type section in here by the way, they have chocolate doughnuts unlike any i have ever tasted, yummy doughy part with powdered sugar and inside is a runny delicious smooth milk chocolate, so very good and so very bad for you! Definitely something you should try when you go into this shop, ahhhh I need one now just thinking about it!

My wife had the Toasty grilled cheese with ham and turkey. It was very nice and the soup of the day which was chicken noodle. They overcharged us by six euros on that special. But we didn't notice it until we had left. I'm sure there's plenty of other places around that are as good or better.
