Killarney favorite specializing in traditional Irish pies with creative fillings. Cozy atmosphere, generous portions, and excellent value make this popular with locals and tourists.
The Pie Maker is a Killarney favourite specialising in traditional Irish pies with creative fillings, from steak and Guinness to a vegetable curry option, served in a cosy, informal room on High Street. The focus is squarely on generous portions and good value rather than elaborate presentation, making it a popular stop for visitors exploring Killarney and the nearby national park. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, suited to a quick, filling lunch or dinner rather than a lingering meal. There is no significant wine list; soft drinks and a small selection of beers cover the drinks side. It operates on a walk-in basis with no reservation system, and is generally easy to get a table at outside peak tourist season.
