What is missing in Killarney is a Michelin starred restaurant, not just our town but the whole of Kerry.

It is an outlier considering our rich local produce and many home-grown international chefs.

Our long history of tourism would lead one to expect that there is a star amongst some of our fine dining establishments.
Rozzers was voted by TripAdvisor reviewers in 2021 and 2022 as the top restaurant in Ireland offering a fine dining experience.
It knocked Chapter One, a 2-star restaurant, off the top spot. That is some feat, and we should celebrate this fantastic achievement.

A Michelin star restaurant, while important is not the end all and be all to Killarney or Kerry.
It does, however, bring many column inches and is a great marketing tool for town and county.

When will we get one? That is the question I am posing and to my mind we have a ready-made market for such an establishment.

Certainly, all the main hotels have invested in their culinary staff and dining rooms post pandemic, and it is more of when rather than if for a star for Killarney.
Let’s not forget the team at Rozzers are the people’s choice and in many ways that is the greatest ‘star’ of all.

What local establishment do you feel is deserving of one? Replies to aidan@killarneyadvertiser.ie
