Cafes in Kenmare, Kerry:

Cafe Mocha – cute and affordable places to eat

What I love about this place: It’s super affordable. Sometimes when you’re spending most of your travel budget on excursions, tours and other attractions, you want to grab a meal that isn’t going to dig too deep into your bank balance. Well, Cafe Mocha is a great place for an affordable and filling breakfast before you hit the road.

Coffee Shops:

Maison Gourmet – French run family business in Kenmare

I love this spot. Firstly, it’s absolutely gorgeous from the outside. Sitting outside Maison Gourmet under an umbrella sipping a hot drink while savouring a pastry, it’s just divine! As well as some pre-prepared food options such as paninis, there is an array of delicious sweet treats behind the counter. My favourite is the chocolate caramel tart.

Bean and Batch – waffles, hot drinks, sweet treats

Another one that looks very cute and inviting from the outside. Not only can you grab your morning coffee, they serve waffles, baked goods and if you’re trying to be healthy, there’s even prepared overnight oats.

The Best Breakfast in Kenmare

Davitts

Lot’s to choose from on the menu and it’s affordable. Grab a seat outside if you can – there’s an overhang so you’re safe from the rain.

Poffs

A small little cafe but the food is great, I always go for the eggs benedict. My sister got the pancakes and they looked incredible! You can also grab a table outside, but there’s only a couple.

Cafe Mocha

Very affordable breakfast spot!

Rookery Lane

This place is just fab, and is a great place for brunch. The food is very “different” and “healthy” with things like a Buddha Bowl and Pina Colada Power Bowl on offer. Rookery Lane is a must-visit on your trip to Kenmare!

The Brew House is just off the park in the centre of town and it’s a great place to go grab a big lunch. It’s got a lovely interior and booths along the wall across from the bar so it’s a nice private place to get a meal.

There are great options to choose from, I struggled to pick just one thing!

O’Donnobhans – comfort food in Kenmare, Kerry

I LOVE a hearty pub dinner. After a long day of adventuring there is just nothing better than sitting back in the pub, ordering a warm comforting Irish meal and putting yourself in a food coma… right? I’ve had the beef stew and it’s just 10/10
