Every morsel delicious

Every morsel delicious particularly hake with potatoes and the best peas I have every eaten which is a strange thing to say but they just were! Lamb was also scrumptious. Crepes as good as other reviewers had described. Back room not as nice as the...other rooms in the restaurant but service excellent so a really enjoyable experience.More

Great place in town centre

Very nice place in an old school house in the centre of town. We went to an early sitting , with the COVID restrictions it all was a little strange but they did an excellent job. The menu was a little restricted because of the...times we are in but the food was excellent. We had duo of lamb and a fish dish , all very good and well worth a visit.More

Book it! We’d planned to book,

Book it! We’d planned to book, but didn’t get around to it. Then we arrived in Kenmare & the Lime Tree was booked out. We were very lucky that got a cancellation. I’d perfect scallops with shaved cauliflower for starter (€5 supplement). He’d a really...clever & tasty twist on a Caesar salad. Followed by generous & perfectly cooked hake with peas, leeks & samphire and black sole on the bone with tomato & caper lemon butter. Def recommend it!More
