We all had starters which were Goats cheese and poached pear bruschetta, chicken liver pate and 2 of us ordered deep fried brie. The pate is served on a slab of slate and was smooth, creamy and delicious. The goats cheese was so tasty, and the deep fried brie was tasty but it was nothing different to any other deep fried brie I have had and at a price of €9 I was expecting a bit more but tasty none the less. For mains the two men ordered steaks one fillet and one rib-eye which were both cooked to perfection and served on wooden chopping boards-I tasted the fillet, not the nicest fillet I've ever tasted but definately up there-it was tender and seasoned well. I ordered a chicken caesar salad which was a big portion and was very tasty....the dressing was not too strong so I was happy, the last main was the goats cheese bruschetta which was the same as the starter. The Smokehouse don't do desserts which we were a bit surprised to learn but the staff here are so helpful and very efficient even though it has a very laid back feel to the place. They don't take bookings but we were lucky to get a table on a saturday night and in the time we were there atleast 22 people had come in to look for a table....very good spot for good rustic food in killarney. Our bill came to €125 including 2 x Vodkas & 7up and 2xbottle of heineken-good value for four starters and four mains including 2 steaks!
Will definately return to The Smokehouse the next time I am in Killarney....and probably everytime after that!
