Under the new ownership of Patrick Eviston, a seasoned Killarney hotelier, a new dynamic manager in Darren Looney, and with the culinary talents of Chef Cyrille Durand at the helm in the kitchen, Killeen House and its crown jewel, Rozzers Restaurant, are poised for an exciting future.
Location, Location, Location:
Nestled just outside Killarney, Killeen House boasts breathtaking views of the Kerry Mountains. Perfectly positioned between Kenmare and Dingle, it serves as an ideal base for exploring all that Kerry has to offer. A short stroll away, a scenic viewpoint allows you to soak in the stunning lakes and mountain vistas. For a taste of local libations, don't miss the nearby brewery and distillery – a must-visit for any craft beverage enthusiast.
A Culinary Adventure at Rozzers Restaurant:

| Scallops |
Prepare to be dazzled (we were) at Rozzers Restaurant, where every meal is a delightful event. Your culinary journey begins with a selection of tempting breads, dips, and a unique carrot top pesto, followed by an amuse-bouche to tantalize your taste buds. A refreshing sorbet cleanses the palate midway through your three-course adventure. And to top it all off, a decadent truffle arrives to complete this unforgettable dining experience.

French Flair Meets Irish Charm:
Decisions, decisions! Choosing from Chef Durand's menu is a delightful challenge. Do you indulge in the luxurious Foie Gras Ballantine, the melt-in-your-mouth Seared Castletownbere Scallops (my favourite), or perhaps the intriguing Fricassée of Monkfish Poppadoms with Black Irish Kale and Kerry Chorizo? Each dish showcases Chef Durand's passion for food, a beautiful fusion of fresh Irish produce with a touch of French finesse.

Sweet Endings and More:
The dessert menu at Rozzers is equally tempting. Will you succumb to the decadent Dark Chocolate Tartlet, the light and refreshing Lemon Balm Parisian Flan, or the irresistible Hazelnut & Rosemary Cake? Artisan ice cream, sorbets, and a selection of Irish farmhouse cheeses round out the options, ensuring there's something to satisfy every sweet tooth.
