The owner was our host and raconteur during the evening, helping us pick dishes to fit each of s to telling local stories. His wife and Co owner is the chef. The lamb casserole for me was a surprise presentation and was delicious. My wife had the black sole and was delighted. We also shared the crab tartlet. All was wonderful. Others had a seafood stew, steaks and maybe the highlight was the cannelloni. If you are in the neighborhood or playing golf at Doonbeg, I strongly recommend you go here! U

The owner of Murphy Blacks is happy to tell you that this is the best restaurant in Kilkee, and…read morehe'd be right. I sampled 4 other restaurants, and between my explorations and those of my numerous traveling companions on this trip, we'd concur. The focus is on seafood, but they have a variety of other selections, as well. The food is very local and very fresh. My clear favorite was the mussels, the appetizer portion of which is enough for a meal. I'd also recommend the goat cheese and seafood sampler (which was a collection of seafood salads and smoked fish). The lamb and grilled fish are recommended for entrees--though be warned that Ireland overcooks meat in general for the American palate, so discuss how well you want your lamb and beef done with your server. The lamb casserole (sans noodles, hooray) was exquisite as well. A number of the dishes, like the Hake Au Gratin was a little rich for my palate, but popular at our table. A broad selection of desserts and a wine list with enough options of excellent quality round out the meal. (Go for a soft Albarino or crisp Sancerre to complement your seafood). Also, before 6:30pm they have an "early bird" menu, a prix fixe deal. I'm a fan of the food, but I think the service pushed this place a little bit higher for me. Very personal and personable servers, with one owner interacting with customers and the other upstairs in the kitchen. I was fairly stuffed and couldn't finish my entree and they were concerned and made sure I was happy with my meal. Don't worry, I was. All 3 of them in the week I was in Kilkee.

Burgers start at 3.50€ naked, chips are 2.50€ with plenty to share, and drinks are 1.20€ apiece for cans.

I split tomato soup and a toasted special (ham, cheese, tomato, and onion). The soup came with brown bread and I think it was my favorite bread I've had so far on this trip! The sandwich and fries were delicious as well. The large selection of pastry items were too hard to pass up. I had a chocolate croissant and it was very fresh and delicious! I highly recommend this cafe for a snack, lunch, or a coffee the next time you go explore the Kilkee cliffs!

We stayed three nights and within our 10-days-trip it was the nicest place to stay. Our room had a really nice view over the bay of Kilkee, even though the weather was rather rough during our stay. The restaurant is also run by Johnny, and the food is really good. It was the best we had in Kilkee. I can really recommend that place and will go back there whenever I am around.
