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!

After traveling to Ireland and then renting a car to drive to Ennis, we were beyond exhausted. I'm…read morepretty sure I struggled to even read yelp reviews in order to help us finally find some food to eat. So we just decided to walk into town where we stumbled upon this amazing place. The decor and warmth of the restaurant was top notch. The gentleman who greeted us and served us was so helpful. We were so jet lagged I'm sure he had a hard time understanding our mumbles. The menu was easy to read and he was able to pair beers and ciders to us perfectly. The food was amazing. The portions was so big. My wife and split the chicken curry, I had a side of chowder and she had a side salad. We still had food left over because there was so much. My son and the fish and chips and it was devoured. My youngest had the kids fried chicken and said it was the best chicken she's ever had. There wasn't a single complaint about this place. So if you stumble into Ennis lost, hungry, and needing a relaxing place to eat, try this place.
