LUNA Deli and Wine is a sister establishment of The Ross Hotel and Killarney Park Hotel.

It is situated on the corner of East Avenue and Brewery Lane and just few doors up from the Ross Hotel.

It is Killarney’s only deli and wine bar- serving sandwiches and salads along with coffee and pastries by day, and wine by night, LUNA is a unique and welcome addition to the town’s ever expanding array of cafés and eateries.

“We are delighted to have opened our doors– the response from our customers has been amazing. It has been fantastic to see our customers come in and grab a sandwich or salad and coffee during the day and to then return to relax in the evening with a glass of wine. That is exactly the experience we aim to deliver at LUNA,” said owners Killian and Emily Treacy.

“We would like to sincerely thank everyone that has helped us in getting our doors open as well as our customers that supported us throughout our first few days.”

LUNA provides customers with an offering of artisan sandwiches and healthy salads along with pastries and coffee from Tuesday to Saturday. It serves natural and organic wine with a selection of Irish cheese and charcuterie from 6pm Thursday to Saturday. On Sundays, customers can choose from a selection of pastries and coffee.

Further plans are in the pipeline once the Kenmare Place outdoor dining project is completed.
