The Table Among The Trees – A Culinary Journey in the Heart of Killarney National Park

Nestled amidst the natural splendour of Killarney National Park, the Yew Tree Restaurant at Muckross Park Hotel & Spa offers more than a meal; it promises a celebration of Ireland’s finest flavours.

Guided by the bold yet refined vision of Chef Scott Kapitan, this award-winning restaurant invites guests to experience a “Table Among The Trees,” where nature’s beauty meets culinary artistry.

Chef Kapitan’s menu is a masterful blend of tradition and innovation, elevating every dish to a work of art

From the delicate sweetness of hand-dived scallops to the hearty richness of venison saddle, each plate tells a story. The turbot, cooked to succulent perfection, takes centre stage on a canvas of creamed leeks, crunchy hazelnut, and a luscious vermouth creme sauce. Every bite is a harmonious interplay of textures and flavours that will leave your palate enchanted.

The venison saddle is a bold and captivating creation, paired with earthy beetroot, the subtle sweetness of plum, creamy parsnip, and a luxurious dark chocolate foie gras mousse. Finished with a velvety sauce, this dish redefines indulgence, showcasing Kapitan’s remarkable ability to transform classic ingredients into an unforgettable experience. 

Completing the experience is a seamless journey from start to finish: fresh Dingle crab, smoked oyster, and plum soufflé form an impeccable three-course arc. Each dish is beautifully plated, a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds.

The Yew Tree’s carefully curated wine pairings elevate each dish to an extraordinary dining experience

Each wine is thoughtfully selected to complement the flavours, textures, and aromas of the menu, enhancing the journey through Chef Scott Kapitan’s creations.

At €75 for three courses, this extraordinary dining experience is a steal, offering gourmet cuisine in a setting that feels like an escape into nature. The Yew Tree’s elegant ambiance complements Kapitan’s artistry. 

As the pinnacle of dining in Killarney, the Yew Tree Restaurant delivers unforgettable flavours in a setting as inspiring as the dishes themselves. Discover your “Table Among The Trees” and indulge in a meal that lingers long after the last bite.
