Gaby's Seafood

Gaby's Seafood Review

Expect the best seafood in Killarney from Belgian owner-chef Gert Maes. Inside the rustic exterior is a little bar beside an open fire; steps lead up to the main dining area, where ornate wooden stick-back chairs sit atop a plush gold and navy carpet. They match a huge wooden dresser that has adorned the room since the restaurant opened in 1978. In summer you can sip an aperitif in the small garden. Try the seafood platter (seven or eight kinds of fish in a cream-and-wine sauce) or lobster Gaby (shelled, simmered in a cream-and-cognac sauce, and served back in the shell). Turbot, salmon, and sole are also regular menu items. There is also a selection of fillet and sirloin steaks, au poivre or with garlic butter, and herb-scented rack of lamb.
