For an a la carte experience, visitors can sit down in Killarney Mountain Lodge’s many in-house restaurants, grills, and cafes. Enjoy expertly-crafted dinners, steaks and wine selections at the Ranch House, or dine in the traditional chalet setting of the Main Dining Room surrounded by art by Killarney’s local painters.
