Dining at the O’Donoghue Ring Collection
The O’Donoghue Ring Collection offers a variety of dining experiences across our family-owned hotels and venues, from contemporary Irish restaurants and stylish cocktail bars to welcoming traditional pubs.
Located in the heart of Killarney, our restaurants showcase locally sourced ingredients, seasonal menus, and the warm hospitality for which County Kerry is renowned. For relaxed lunch, a lively evening meal with friends, or drinks after a day exploring nearby Killarney National Park, our collection offers some of the most memorable places to eat in Killarney.
Our Food Philosophy
At the heart of dining across the O’Donoghue Ring Collection is a deep respect for local produce, sustainability, and Kerry’s proud food heritage. Our chefs work closely with trusted local farmers, fishermen, and artisan producers to ensure every dish reflects the exceptional ingredients the region has to offer.
A key part of this commitment is Killarney Urban Farm, the collection’s own sustainable hydroponic farm, uniquely located within the town. Here, fresh seasonal vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers are grown specifically for our restaurants, allowing our chefs to create truly farm-to-table dishes.
This connection between farm and kitchen ensures exceptional freshness and flavour across our menus while supporting sustainable food practices. From garden-grown herbs to locally sourced meats and Atlantic seafood, every ingredient is carefully chosen to celebrate the natural bounty of Kerry.
