“Very charming pub-restaurant, cosy and with distinctive wooden flooring. Generous servings with friendly and fast service and great value for money.”
- LaRoutard
“I want our guests to enjoy simple food that’s well-prepared in a relaxed atmosphere. On chilly days there’s even a fire in the hearth. I plan the menu so it’s varied and has something for everyone. Our tables are simple and our service is friendly and prompt.”
- Vanessa, Head Chef
Vanessa, one half of this family-run hospitality business, is a trained chef having worked at many well-respected restaurants in Ireland and the south of France. She returned home to Kenmare in 1996 and has continued to centre her menus on premier local produce and an innovative culinary mindset.
The Irish Times has called us one of the ten great foodie pubs:

“In the brightly painted village of Kenmare, on the crossroads between the Iveragh Peninsula and the Beara Peninsula, O’Donnabháin’s Townhouse is the best place in the village to catch a traditional Irish music session. Its quintessentially Irish bar interior with giant supporting ceiling beams and intricate stone masonry that dates back to the building’s origins a quarter of a millennium ago, has proven popular with advertising executives looking to capture an authentic setting for their ads…” The Irish Times
