Food and Drink

The Ring of Kerry Skellig Region is home to some of the best gourmet restaurant and traditional bars in Ireland. The number of world class restaurants has flourished in the region over the past few years, and most, from fine dining to small friendly bars, will offer you the very best local produce, a reason to visit in its own right. The chefs in the region are very lucky – as they have the pick of the best fresh local ingredients. Succulent organic lamb, prime local beef, superb seafood and shellfish…. Unrivalled for their freshness and their flavour. Traditional dishes such as bacon and cabbage, Irish stew and colcannon are still popular favourites and you can enjoy a traditional Irish breakfast and homemade brown bread and soda bread throughout the region. Whatever your tastes or budget you will find food that satisfies.

Local markets offer a fantastic opportunity to meet the locals and sample the local produce. Visit the Fair Day markets held in Cahersiveen every month and go back in time to the colourful bustle of markets at the turn of the century. Ask for details at the local Tourist Information Office.
