Aghadoe restaurant named Ireland’s best
By Michelle Crean
A much loved local business has topped TripAdvisor’s list of the top 10 best fine dining restaurants in Ireland - the only hotel to feature on the list.
Rozzers Restaurant at the Killeen House Hotel scooped the award in the Tripadvisor’s annual Travellers' Choice Awards on Wednesday - a top 10 list that included some of Ireland’s best-known restaurants.
The restaurant is lead by Head Chef Paul O'Gorman who has been with Rozzers Restaurant for over 25 years.
“Since we opened in 1992, we have always focused on creating memorable dining experiences using the highest quality local produce," Geraldine Rosney, owner of the Killeen House Hotel and Rozzers Restaurant said.
"Against the toughest year we’ve ever experienced in the Irish hospitality sector, the feedback from all those who took the time to review us on TripAdvisor is a great endorsement of the hard work and commitment of our team who share our passion in serving up incredible and memorable dining experiences at Rozzers Restaurant. The entire team are beyond thrilled with the news. In 2020 Rozzers Restaurant was only open for 13 weeks due to lockdown restrictions. The fact that the people who dined with us during that time had such a positive dining experience is very special and very important to us. We could not have done this without our head chef. For 25 years he has been a vital part of Killeen House Hotel and Rozzers Restaurant. Like a fine wine, he just gets better with age!”
In line with Government guidelines, The Killeen House Hotel and Rozzers Restaurant reopened in June, serving dinner to residents only on a very popular “Come For Dinner, Stay For Breakfast” package which proved popular with locals.
Rozzers Restaurant will be reopening for non-residents on Monday next.

The lucky winner secured the life-changing sum through the special Ireland Only Raffle event after purchasing a Quick Pick ticket on the day of the draw.

“There’s a great buzz around the store and we’re absolutely delighted,” Bowler said. “We have a mix of local customers and visitors coming through our doors every day, so the winner could be anyone. While we’ve sold fantastic prizes over the years, this is by far the biggest. It’s wonderful news for Killarney.”
