Mulcahy’s Wild Garlic Restaurant

Best meal that I had while in Ireland! As another reviewer has mentioned, the name of the restaurant is Mulcahy’s Wild Garlic Restaurant– so look out for Mulcahy’s when trying to spot this place.
We started with the chorizo and goat cheese with beets apps: both were so flavorful and perfectly executed. I went with the corn-​fed chicken which was the most insanely moist/​delicious chicken that I have ever had. For dessert we went with the Apple tart tatin which was INSANE– the absolute standout. A large freshly made tart with a crispy outside and soft inside served with icecream, crème fresh and caramel sauce. OMG I will dream about returning to Ireland and eating this tart.

This place was, and once again is, called Mulcahys, so look for that awning if you’re trying to track it down. My wife and I stopped in here when Packie’s was booked up, and we were thoroughly happy that it was. The staff were extremely friendly, and the interior is nicely appointed and rather modern, which is a nice change of pace compared to most of Kenmare’s more rustically-​decorated restaurants.
We had an outstanding meal at Mulcahys/​Wild Garlic – Beef Wellingtons and wild mushroom risotto for each of us, both cooked perfectly. A variety of potatoes and mixed vegetables came with the meals. including an especially delicious colcannon.
For dessert, profiteroles. So, so good.

If you are anywhere near the Ring of Kerry, take whatever time and effort are needed to enjoy a meal at Wild Garlic.
The food was… well…incredible. I started with a warm goats cheese salad served on top of a toasted brioche. My monkfish was cooked to perfection and lightly sauced to bring out the flavour of the high-​quality fish. Some gastronomic flair was thrown in to add subtle and flavourful elements to the dish. Our mains came with a lovely side of roasted seasonal vegetables and one of the best potato gratin dishes I have ever tasted. I ended with an exquisite apple and berry crumble.
The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed in a modern décor. We were warmly greeted and treated as friends and regulars from the moment we walked in the door. The service was efficient and attentive without being the slightest bit overbearing.
Wild Garlic easily joins my best of Irish restaurants list. The place was quite busy even somewhat off season, so booking a table is recommended.
