Our Food – O’Donnabhain’s Staging

The restaurant at
O’Donnabhain’s

In the heart of Kenmare, our gastro bar and restaurant offers a dining experience rooted in quality, simplicity, and authenticity. Every dish is crafted using the finest locally sourced ingredients—from the richness of Ireland’s land to the freshness of the Atlantic’s daily catch.

This is Irish food at its best—honest, seasonal, and full of flavour.

A menu that evolves with the seasons

Our menu is thoughtfully curated and constantly evolving, ensuring every visit brings something new to discover.

From comforting classics to modern favourites, you’ll find dishes that satisfy every appetite:

✨ Gourmet burgers made with premium Irish beef
✨ Fresh beer-battered fish and chips
✨ Slow-cooked traditional stews bursting with depth
✨Artisan pizzas crafted with fresh dough and creative, flavorful toppings.

Each plate reflects our commitment to balance—traditional Irish roots with a fresh, contemporary twist.

From farm, field & ocean—straight to your table

We take pride in sourcing the very best ingredients close to home.

Our meats are carefully selected for quality and flavour, slow-cooked to bring out their richness. Our seafood is delivered fresh from nearby coastal waters—often landed overnight and served the next day, ensuring unmatched freshness.

It’s this dedication that transforms simple dishes into something truly memorable.

A relaxed dining experience

Led by Head Chef Vanessa, whose experience spans renowned kitchens in Ireland and France, our approach is simple:

Serve well-prepared food in a welcoming, relaxed setting where everyone feels at home.

Whether you’re enjoying a casual lunch, a cozy dinner by the fire, or a lively evening with friends, the atmosphere is always warm, friendly, and unpretentious.
