    It's a good for gouging. Not good for families on holiday. Most kids are used to restaurants now (pre covid) they'd be dining out weekly, they know how to behave. No excuse other than gouging.

    Well, we disagree.

    I used stay in Jurys in Dublin quite a lot...the prices in the summer months for 1 night were approx €260 in Parnell Street, & €300 at Christchurch.
    Just checked there...in July-August Christchurch is €252 for 3 nights

    You dont see this in Italy or Spain, people dont dine until 8 or 9 pm and their kids somehow dont run around like wild animals.
    Wonder why that is??

    I think people are focusing on the house rule of one place too much. There are plenty of other places to go and eat, as the OP found because his son got the burger with all the trimmings that he wanted and at kids prices off an adult menu. It would seem like a pretty good experience.

    I genuinely dont see the issue with 1 place wanting evening service to be adult only. It's not like it's a countywide rule.

    It has to be said, for all the talk about Kenmare, Killarney and Dingle as culinary capitals, the fact that Kerry has not has a Michelin starred restaurant since the 90s is pretty striking. Of course, it's not the be all and end all, but it's certainly one pointer when it comes to fine dining and service. By contrast, Cork has 4.

    Had to laugh at this.

    People here complaining about high prices in Kerry are now bemoaning the fact that there are no restaurants in Kerry where you won't get much change out of €300 for a meal for two.

    No, you misunderstood. People are complaining about prices in Kerry that are comparable to fine dining experiences elsewhere.

    Was more referring to value and pricing here in Kerry.

    In fact, I have paid less at Michelin starred restaurants than I've paid for meals in Kerry (such as the one at Sheen Falls) that were nowhere near as good, either for food or service. That's the issue.

    Killarney has always been a rip-off venue. Every business owner there feels entitled to a millionaire’s lifestyle and they charge customers accordingly. Dingle used to be a lot nicer but I haven’t been there for a few years, I hope it hasn’t gone the way of Killarney.


    Dingle went that way a long time ago. Used to spend a lot of time down there, so let my other half talk me into stopping in Dingle for a couple of nights few months pre Covid, Benners was fine and reasonable, like the old feel of it.

    Tried a few of the restaurants down the front. Not a very pleasant experience, absolute rip off, bad attitude/very poor service and poor to average food.

    Try to save my money and go away to Spain or Portugal rather than holiday in Ireland
    Find it expensive and unless you drink, very boring

    would prefer to stay in my back garden than holiday in Kerry.

    What do you do in Spain and Portugal that makes it so exciting?

    We holiday in Ireland every year and take a big holiday every 2 or 3 years so we dont do the sun holidays. Neither of us are drinkers and I've never been bored. We go west coast, Sligo, Mayo, Galway, Clare, Kerry. Hiking, kayaking, swimming, rock climbing.

    We were in Clare 2 weeks ago, went for a drink with the family on the day we arrived. Apart from that we didnt even consider the pub or booze.

    There is so much to do on holiday in Ireland it is impossible to call it boring.

    Ah come on, no ones back garden offers what Kerry offers when it comes to Atlantic coastal fun, national parklands, peninsulas, inlets, mountain ranges, wildlife etc... I've been going there for decades and am still finding secrets.

    Eating out is very expensive compared to where I live in Dublin. Not sure what you mean by "unless you drink"... the drink is no cheaper in Kerry.

    Was in Spain once. Lots of drink. And pretty boring. Just days spent hanging around pools and overcrowded beaches really. But I'm not into the sun and sand thing.

    Saying Spain is just beaches is like saying all of Ireland is rip off jarvey men.
    The Spanish dont drink like Irish or Brits, maybe you were hanging out with the wrong crowd?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,381 ✭✭✭Yurt2


    I'd agree with the OP. Kerry is one of those places in Ireland that's high on its own supply. Yes it's beautiful physically in parts, but the amount of tourists it attracts in peak season means a lot of service industry providers think they can shovel up any old sh*te and the thicko tourists will keep coming back for more.

    A lot of people on the Dingle peninsula as well act like goons also. Many of them have this zany backwoodsman character in a flat cap they put on - particularly young people in pubs. Being from the barse of Kerry isn't a substitute for a personality lads, you can stop dancing on the tables, there's no Americans looking. I felt like I was in some sort of Healy Rae-designed Potemkin village for the benefit of North American tourists at some stages.

    Edit: Only just copped I'm posting in the Kerry forum. Fully expect a filleting! Don't worry lads, I'm able for it!

    Summer holidays in resorts and beaches is what the Spanish tourist trade was built on and is the biggest sector in Spanish tourism.

    20 million British and Irish tourists head there every year and they ain't all piling into the Sagrada Familia or hanging round the Alhambra.

    The jarveys are one element of tourism in one Irish town. It's not really comparable at all..

    I was hoping for some bit of culture, the odd museum, things to see and do. Apart from a day in Barcelona it was grim. And ugly, a procession of seaside towns with apartments full of boozed up Brits and Irish in sports shirts drinking. It was cheap enough, I just never went back.

    No kids after a certain time should be the excepted normal in any proper dining establishment, be it pub or restaurant. It provides an improved ambience, no extra menus needed, less unslightly food spillages and mess and a less likely incident of accidents and possibly increased sales for the establishment. Most reasonable adults would understand this.

    You need to try Portugal. Much friendlier than Spain and loads to do and see
    Or even Slovakia. An amazing country and mountains that put the reeks into the halfpenny place. Even my wife's village is higher than carrauntoohil.

    Oh would love to go to Slovakia alright, have been to the Czech Republic, Austria, Croatia and Bosnia and really liked all of them. And have lots of Slovakian friends who lived here in Kerry during the mid 00s, some of them from the Tatras, so have been to plenty of parties with egg salad with slivovica or red wine and cola...

    No kids after 8.30pm in a fine dining adult basted establishment would be understandable.
    No kids after 9pm in a gastro pub is understandable.
    No kids allowed in a hard drinking pub should be encouraged.

    There's no extra menus needed anywhere, there's just kids meals at the bottom of the regular menu. Any "proper" dining establishments that I work with are professionally trained & capable of catering for families throughout the dining service, if they aren't they're simply incapable, not up to speed, penny pinching or gouging. An incredulous 5.30pm stop on family service is unreasonable and an obvious gouger.

    Most reasonable children would understand this, let alone adults.

    8:30 and 9pm, thats laughable.. And if an establishment doesn't sing from your hymn sheet, you imply they are incapable of good service.
    And you keep bandying about the term gouger without any reason or evidence. Simpleton behaviour and attitudes to the fore.

    5.30 is way to early to shut of a restaurant for kids.

    Especially during these times with the goverment spending fortunes trying to encourage Irish familys to stay in Ireland instead of going abroad and help out stricken Irish hotels and restaurants to recover.

    Familys are just getting back from a day out sightseeing and a restaurant is effectivly closed off to them at 5.30.

    These are the type of buisnesses that you struggle to have sympathy for when they are crying about losing buissness.

    If you are employing this policy then 7.30 should be the cut off and even at that these are exceptional times for familys where they have decided to don the green jersey and holidayed here instead of more family friendly cheaper foreign countries involved in tourism,and i say that as someone who has a low tolerence towards badly behaved children in restaurants.

    As for the pig who wouldnt even put a bit of kitchen towel around the cone,he should be reported because this is standard hygeine practise, even outside of a pandemic and the people on here who profess to be involved in the industry and calling the OP an "awkward customer" tells you a lot about them and some of the people involved in the industry.

    Depending on the type of establishment it's not laughable at all. The last thing you want is kids in a pub after 9pm if it's a purely drinking pub.
    Sam Hain wrote: »

    If an establishment in a family tourist area isn't capable of serving families they're either incapable or gouging.

    I have all the evidence I need. Again, if an establishment in a family tourist area isn't capable of serving tourists with families after a ridiculous 5.30pm time they're obviously incapable or more likely gouging. What other excuse do they have? None.

    We’ve done some Michelin star restaurants in Spain and Germany with a child (probably first time at the age of 3-4). Never had any problem or made felt awkward in any way.

    I do find that find that dining and drinking in Ireland with kids can sometimes be made awkward in a way I haven’t seen in other places.

    Was there not a Michelin star place in Dingle until a few years ago. I seem to recall it was a French chef who specialised in local produce with some foraging etc. Or maybe I am remembering wrongly and it was a Bib Gourmand?

    I saw that Giovannelli‘s in Killorglin’s seems to be gone (place cleared out). It had a decent reputation so I wonder what happened.

    It's an old fashioned attitude upheld by uncultured people who feel kids shouldn't be on Ryanair flights (buses with wings) or restaurants & who think taking a flight or eating out is a once a year occasion, equitable to going to the opera.

    Fortunately it's waning now and restaurants in Ireland are frequently becoming more European & family friendly.

    It is actually in HSE food service guidelines. Ice cream cones should not be handled with bare hands. I assume it is because in many cases it will the same person preparing the ice cream and processing the payment.

    Just spent the last two days in Killarney. I’ve never seen anything like the bar staff/waitressing. Absolutely horrendous. I thought London was ****e.

    The bars are so bad that when they’d eventually come to take your order I’d get two pints at a time. It wasn’t for lack of staff either. Even trying to pay a bill. I had to ask in one place 3 times for the bill.

    We had breakfast yesterday morning in “the shire” lovely looking place tbf. 50 minutes after sitting down our breakfast arrived. The place was half empty at that stage. The lady says “so sorry the wait, you won’t be charged for your coffees, would you like another? Herself says “yes please” The coffee never arrived. Surely to God you make sure that customer is sorted after all that - no.

    I genuinely never complain anywhere. I just put up with it but I had to let people know just how bad the service is.

    Killarney is beautiful though. We had dinner in “Rob’s Ranch” the 2nd night. That was excellent but every other bar/restaurant was shocking.

    I’m trying to remember the name of that brilliant restaurant in Dingle. Had one of the best meals of my life in it. It didn’t have a star. They opened two years too early I’d say. Would be flying now. And was definitely a candidate for a star


    I go to Dingle at least twice a year and have done so all my life. It is expensive now if you want to eat out every night but there are some very good restaurants. We don’t really eat out often so don’t pay too much attention to price when we do.

    The shire would be known for being sloppy enough locally from what I've heard. It's like it tries to be several things, pub, cafe, "gastropub", take out service, etc and it's a failure because they are trying too much in a tiny space and you have better options for all those things a short walk from there.

    Must say, apart from a slower service during the match which was to be expected yesterday, I've had the polar opposite experience to you. Couldnt find fault anywhere we went and I was looking for faults after reading this thread. We must just be lucky.

    If someone can't figure out how to put a napkin around a cone when they have handled money they have absolutely no business being in the service industry. It's not some extraordinary request that requires highly specialised knowledge or expertise to address.

    €300? Where ? We eat out in Dingle quite a lot and don’t stint on the menu choices and drinks , but have never paid anything close to that . Can you name the restaurants you have paid this kind of price in ?

    The general theme of the thread was that Kerry is a rip off.

    Then some of the same people giving out that Kerry was a rip off were bemoaning that there are no Michilin restaurants in Kerry.

    Which was why I responded as I did.

    We - 5 adults - get fed and found in Killarney or Dingle when we are there for the day - main course and a drink - for around €110.

    I would have thought the distinction was obvious. But I'm happy to explain.

    Michelin starred restaurants charge more because the food and service is deemed particularly good.

    Not because the food and service isn't that good but you're looking at mountains.

    Let's not pretend there is some contradiction when the explanation is blindingly obvious.
