The Tan Yard

A sense of place

Local & Seasonal

At the heart of Killarney, where main street meets the expanse of Killarney National Park, The Tan Yard Restaurant awaits. Discover an atmospheric and elevated dining experience that celebrates the best of Kerry’s finest ingredients. As the name evokes, The Tan Yard’s inspiration comes from Killarney’s traditional leather tanning trade that once thrived. Today, that spirit of craft and connection to place lives on in every detail, from the design and ambience to the ingredients on each plate.

Here, high-quality, locally sourced ingredients take centre stage, celebrating fine Kerry cuisine. With a commitment to sustainable sourcing, the menu evolves with the seasons, bringing guests on a true land-to-plate journey.

The Tan Yard’s interior blends heritage with nature, drawing inspiration from Killarney’s historic tan yards.
