Review from Heather E.
I really love this place. It is family owned, it is cozy, it won't break the bank, and the food is good, comfort food... Irish style. In September, I ordered the Kerry Corned Beef with cabbage and it was the BEST corned beef I have ever had!!!! It was tender and the flavor was really lovely. Of course the veg and the mashed potatoes are always a great addition to whatever main you choose.
This past visit, I had the Seafood Chowder to start with and the stuffed Pork Loin. Now, I'm a bit picky with seafood... meaning that I like fish, scallops, and shrimp, but that's about it, however for some reason the Seafood Chowder was really calling my name. I think it is because I have been craving Clam Chowder (yes, I eat around the clams) and that isn't normally on menus here in Europe. Without asking the waitress exactly what was in it, I ordered it. The brown bread was quite bitter, but the Seafood Chowder was... AMAZING! There was salmon, an unidentifiable white fish, smoked fish, tiny shrimp, mussels, and maybe cockles... I did eat the mussels and they were cooked just right. I seriously thought about just ordering another bowl of the chowder and calling it a night. The stuffed pork was nice, but nothing special... in fact it didn't really stand a chance after that amazing Seafood Chowder.
Love the place, you should stop in... have the Seafood Chowder with a roll, if they have the Kerry Corned Beef and Cabbage on the menu, have that as well. You'll be glad you did!Listed in: I'm ridin' solo...

Eating in a touristy town on a budget can be a challenge, especially when you are a student, however… Read more »

The staff at this establishment were reviewed as being friendly. I need to ask to WHOM are the friendly? I may have come in on a bad day, but they were neither cheerful or friendly to customers or one another.
The food was priced well for the value. I had the Irish stew but I can honestly say, I have had better.
As it is one of the only places in Killarney that serves all day and the menu is of decent size I may have given it another try .. Maybe.
Oh and don't order bottled water! It is 3 Euro and they will give you a huge bottle if you just ask for water. -

I had one night in Killarney and I needed to make it count. I took a chance on Caragh and it paid off big time.
First of all, it's cheaper than most of the restaurants in town and the portions are enormous. I ordered the recommended Fish Pie and my boyfriend ordered the Shepherd's Pie. Both were a resounding success. Both dishes came with a choice of side salad or vegetables and a choice of boiled potatoes or fries. The Fish Pie was delicious, with several types of white fish, mussells, etc, mixed with a creamy sauce and topped with whipped potatoes. It came out hot and was a great deal at 12.95 euro. My boyfriend loved the Shepherd's Pie which was 11.95 euro.
The waitressess are all very friendly and the vibe of the restaurant is casual. Please note, however, they don't take credit cards!
If you also have one night in Killarney, give Caragh a shot! -

Comfort food it is! Took the suggestion of Andy P. and we had the shepherd's pie...oh. my. gosh. Very good! And Profiteroles for dessert...yummy! All in all, a wonderful dinner at a family dining establishment...and for kicks, our server had a sort of Kathleen Turner voice with and Irish accent ;)

This little place right in town centre is simply wonderful. They advertise they serve "comfort food" and well they do. We noticed a lot of local couples and families eating here one night but we went elsewhere. We came back the next night and were rewarded with genuine Irish home cooking. The staff was friendly, the food was authentic and plentiful, and the shepherd's pie was out of this world. It's not fancy but is is very nice.
