Fine Dining in Killarney National Park
Enter the Park. Exit the Ordinary. Fine dining where forest light meets Victorian elegance.
There are few places on earth where you can dine within a 25,000-acre national park. Set in the hotel’s original Victorian lounge, The Yew Tree Restaurant frames every course with place and atmosphere, nature is the fabric, not the backdrop. Awarded 2 AA Rosettes and featured in leading Irish dining guides, the experience is poised, poetic, and distinctly Killarney.
