Just as indoor dining resumed earlier this week, Malarky Restaurant unveiled its wonderful new outdoor garden area.

With a calm colour palette, gazebos at each table and a gorgeous garden, it'll be a haven for diners who book in.

For owner Seamus O'Connell who is Head Chef and a food artist, he is delighted to have the outdoor setting ready and is also relieved to finally reopen his business after a year of reopenings and closures.

"To be back at work again is great," the New Street business owner told the Killarney Advertiser this week.
"I've just got the outdoor dining put together and we're also open for indoor dining. We're happy to be back"

The restaurant experienced a difficult 18 months due to COVID, with opening and sudden closures hitting his pocket.

"We were open last summer for a couple of months, closed October and November and open for two weeks of Christmas. We opened when we could but you lose all your stock when you close while your still paying all your overheads."

He added the only plus personally for him was the time off.

"I really enjoyed the time off," he said. "It's the first time in 40 years I wasn't cooking by night."

And he said that he and his staff are looking forward to meeting their customers again.
"We're looking forward to the rest of the summer season. Outdoors it's a very peaceful garden, with a nice sound system and romantic lighting."

The restaurant is open from Wednesday to Sunday and taking bookings via their Facebook page: Malarky Restaurant, or via phone on 064 6622566.

He also plans to host special events on Tuesday nights going forward for those in the industry to enjoy a night out.
