About
Our ethos is to serve an eclectic mix of good food, in modern surroundings combined with a friendly atmosphere. We offer tapas, seafood, steaks & a wide variety of contemporary dishes. The Franciscan Friary is just up the street from our restaurant and it has been a landmark in the town of Killarney since its construction in the early 1860’s. However the Franciscans that built the Friary were Belgian Friars. The Belgian Franciscan Provincial that agreed to send some friars to Ireland was Fr. Archangelus Vendricks! Thus we decided to name our restaurant after this visionary Friar and we actually opened our restaurant on the 7th of December 2018 – The 150th Anniversary of the Opening of the Friary

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We returned to Vendricks having eaten very well here on a previous visit to Killarney. We weren't disappointed: the surroundings, the food and the service were all we could wish for. The space is beautifully designed and fitted out, modern with the lighting just right...to create a sense of intimacy despite being airy and high-ceilinged. The food was freshly-prepared, well-presented, tasty with lots of vegetarian options. Prices were reasonable and the staff were lovely.More

This is one of the best Tapas restaurants I have ever been to and I should know as I had a house in Spain for 14 years. The food was excellent as was the presentation, we shared the duck spring rolls, pancetta wrapped prawns, cashew...blue cheese croquettes, prawn Pil Pil , Calamari and the Korean short rib tacos and they were all so good. If I was here for another night which unfortunately it was our last night, I would have come back here again. Well done Vendricks you have a restaurant to be very proud of and we will be back next time we are in Killarney. Alan FMore

Lovely food and atmosphere. Great value. It's nice to be able to treat yourself and not pay too much for it.

Booked Vendricks after seeing the reviews online. Waited 40 minutes for starter even though the restaurant was empty. It came out wrong and my partner and I ate starters at different times. I ordered Risotto for main and it was not edible, I had to...send it back.No atmosphere at all in venue on a Saturday night. My partner had the steak and also nothing special and way overpriced for the quality of the food. We planned to get dessert, cocktails etc but we couldn't wait to get out of there. The staff were nice, and so was the Interior, other than that, very disappointing.More

We wanted something different than Irish cuisine on our 8th day in. We ordered the bruchetta, meatballs and spring rolls. All were so fresh and amazing. Had a glass of Cab Sav and it was delicious. This is a beautiful restaurant. Highly recommend!

Strolled all around downtown Killarney shopping, drinking and looking at menus. Vendricks menu and wine list brought us in for dinner. Staff was very friendly, service was excellent, food and wine were also top-notch. We were staying at the Great Southern Killarney Hotel and Vendricks...was just around the corner.More

The food, decor, atmosphere and service were excellent, and Gary was the perfect waiter ✨ We had the hardest time choosing from the the varied but not overwhelming menu. We got several small plates for our party of 5 and all were fabulous! The meatballs,...pancetta prawns, mushroom pear risotto, Irish cheese plate, chips, and crab and shrimp croquettes were impossible to decide which was the fave!More

Amazing food and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff at Vendricks went above and beyond to make our date night extra special. Our glasses were never empty and our stomachs were very full 🥰. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. We will definitely visit Killarney again...for the excellent food and atmosphere. We started off with the duck spring rolls and beef taco for starters with cocktails of course! The portions were perfect and filling. A great balance of sweet and spice. Les paired a wonderful bottle of red with our steak which complemented each other wonderfully. Finally we ended our night with the cheese board for two. The chutney was the highlight of my night!😍More

Best place was awesome. There weren't a lot of patrons because everybody was down on the main strip. I would say this is some of the best food we had in Ireland. This place is very under appreciated. Bill was a great server as well,...he gave recommendations of what to get and not to get, and he was spot on!More
